Order By Lewis Does Not Affect Virginia Miners
John L. Lewis ordered a suspension of mining in western and midwest coal districts to support wage talks, with the move not affecting the ongoing Virginia strike. The telegram released by UMW Vice-President Thomas Kennedy says the action aims to minimize losses for all parties and covers eastern Pennsylvania anthracite and seven western bituminous districts. Production figures indicate soft coal beneath 10 percent of national output, while hard coal districts produce about 57 million tons yearly. The measure targets specific regional problems in the West and Mississippi basin, with reports of a strike rumor unconfirmed by officials.
