Court Action Looms To Halt Coal Strike
President Truman said he will seek a court injunction to stop the 11 day coal strike unless miners return voluntarily. A three man fact finding board was named to report by April 5 on causes, with possible further inquiry if a court order is sought. The dispute centers on pensions from a welfare fund funded by a 10 cent per ton royalty.
