MINE OPERATORS PLAN TO BREAK STRIKE BY SEPTEMBER
Reports from New York indicate coal operators have agreed on a plan to end the anthracite strike by September 1. Vice president Loomis of the Lackawanna says plans exist but won’t be public. John B. Kerr of New York Ontario & Western expects little strike activity remains by Sept. 1 and coal will be mined again then. In Reading, Pa., July 3, President Baer told a committee that the Philadelphia & Reading cannot restore passenger trains on Wilmington & Northern tracks as they are now part of the belt line used to divert coal traffic. the belt line will be crowded with coal trains soon. Picket lines and sentries are useless as strikers plan to abstain from disturbances, and officials hope troops may be withdrawn if not needed.
