Over Million Workers Idle In U S From Coal Strike
The May 8 1946 La Crosse Tribune reports a nationwide coal strike expansion with more than a million workers idle.

A Bethlehem Steel shipyard strike in Los Angeles was averted by an 18 cent wage increase. Portland harbor checkers and longshoremen reach a compromise.
