Lewis Accepts Plan for Anthracite Strike Settlement
President John L. Lewis accepted a basis for settlement proposed by the Scranton Times and joined W. W. Inglis in seeking a new meeting to end the anthracite strike. The plan calls for immediate return to work, a five year contract with existing wages, with wage-review conferences after two years and a continuing arrangement before contract expiration. Separate notes from Philadelphia challenge the plan, while Senate probes into coal profiteering in Washington are announced and invites public evidence.
