Mediator in Coal Walkout Resigns Over Handling
Washington reports a blow to the month old soft coal strike as Special Conciliator Paul W. Fuller threatened resignation citing government handling. Fuller agreed to reconsider and will relay his decision to Labor Secretary Schnellenbach. John L. Lewis and Edward F. McGrady attended a key meeting. Lewis warned of a possible anthracite shutdown if wage adjustments for four holidays are not resolved. The dispute centers on overtime and holiday pay while 400,000 soft coal miners have been on strike since April and 75,000 Pennsylvania hard coal miners may follow if no contract is reached within 30 days.
