Roosevelt ends coal strike test with quick settlement
President Roosevelt and Hugh Johnson secure a prompt settlement to the Pennsylvania coal strike. The accord averts mass layoffs and foresees hearings on a code of fair competition with maximum hours and minimum wages. Johnson flew from Washington to Hyde Park to finalize the agreement, aided by a cross‑section of industry and union leaders. The plan directs immediate operations and sets a board to resolve disputes and draft the code. The deal follows a tense standoff threatening 200,000 workers out of work and 70,000 idle.
