Government push over mine contract tests wartime policy
President Roosevelt declined to accept an October deadline set by the United Mine Workers and urged full WLB compliance. The War Labor Board pressed James Byrnes to enforce penalties against the miners for defiance while signaling that operators face the main penalties. The dispute centers on a 1941-43 wage contract and a pledge not to strike during the war, with Lewis and the UMW claiming to serve government interests.
