Coal Stoppage Halts Large Portion Of U S Output
A two week voluntary lay off called by John L. Lewis shuts down about 471,000 miners east of the Mississippi, idling 69,000 railroad workers and hitting coal dependent industries. The stoppage protest targets Dr. James Boyd’s appointment as head of the Bureau of Mines and affects ten states. The western states have limited production while Pennsylvania still dominates anthracite with substantial soft coal output.
