Lewis Set To Order Miners Back To Work
John L. Lewis, urged by President Truman, planned to dispatch back to work telegrams to United Mine Workers locals so miners could resume shifts by 4 p.m. after a week-long nationwide soft coal strike. The action follows Truman’s intervention after the Wage Stabilization Board blocked a $1.90 daily pay increase and a White House meeting with Lewis and Harry Moses.
