Government to Take Hand in Coal Strike
New York April 7 The government acting through a labor Department conciliator moved to end four weeks of deadlock between bituminous miners and operators seeking a new wage hour agreement. James F. Dewey asked to address four Appalachian operators and four UMWA representatives after consultations in Washington. The contract expired March 31 and about 338,000 miners are idle. UMWA vice president Philip Naurray said miners would renew the old contract for two years if the penalty clause for illegal strikes were dropped. Operators rejected 26 wage and condition proposals. CIO chief John L. Lewis attended the conference and then went to Washington.
