Peace in coal fields becomes administration's main issue
Washington April 28 United Press reports the coal industry expects a speedy return to normal operations.

Labor leaders insist on continuing the 10 percent wage cut and railroads to fund maintenance, with scrutiny of railroad gains and interest payments cited by A F Whitney as excessive.
