Coal conflicts echo in push for production control
The piece argues that the central issue is workers and management clashing over production, with John L. Lewis seeking lower coal output to raise prices, prompting a widespread three day week and looming strikes. It links this to broader industry fears and calls for government action to restore order. It also reflects on Alger Hiss, the Tucker fraud case, and public skepticism toward authorities and high-profile investigations.
