Mine Strike Ends Wildcat Tie-Up Over War Action
Wilkes-Barre dispatch reports the Pennsylvania anthracite wildcat strike largely ended as most major collieries reopened ahead of a back-to-work deadline set by President Roosevelt. About 3,000 miners remained idle in four locals, with voting meetings held at several mines. Leaders said some nonmembers appeared but left. overall unions moved to return to work. The strike had risked a coal shortage affecting the war effort, and government officials warned of necessary steps to reopen mines if the walkout persisted.
