Coal Crisis Deepens As UMW Walkout Pressure Grows
Pittsburgh dispatch notes Truman and Congress face a five day work week for John L. Lewis United Mine Workers amid Taft Hartley action talk. Industry leaders claim a national emergency from year’s four walkouts and the three day week. Coal on hand may last three months unless cold weather returns, while steel and retailers fear dwindling stocks. Some soft coal contracts signed cover about 10 percent of production. Hartley urged use to restore five day shifts.
