Coal Mine Strike Impacts War Effort and Industry
Seventy years ago a coal mine stoppage halted work amid stalled negotiations over extra pay. The United Mine Workers warned readiness to confer while unions demand $1.30 daily added pay for underground travel. OWI stressed coal’s pivotal wartime role, supplying energy for weapons, electricity, railroads, and homes. The crisis spreads to Birmingham mills and steel plants fear production falls. Grain and potato markets in Chicago show declines on favorable crop conditions and ongoing harvests.

House Passes Ag Bill Amid FSA Abolition Fight
The House acted on the regular agriculture department supply bill for the year starting July 1 while a Senate bid to abolish the Farm Security Administration raised a stalemate. A stopgap funding bill may be needed to keep the department operating after June 30. A deficiency measure funding six agencies stalled over a House provision that would bar salaries for three federal employees whose political views the House condemned. Names cited include Dr. Robert Morss Lovett and FCC staffers Goodwin Watson and William Dodd Jr. Further conference bills cover 18 war agencies and the War Manpower Commission with cuts to the National Youth Administration and reductions in OWI and OPA programs.

French group seeks division of military control under de Gaulle and Giraud
The two factions reportedly agree on a plan to divide military authority with de Gaulle as commissioner of national defense and Giraud as commander in chief. De Gaulle fears the plan would constrain efforts to rejuvenate the army by removing over-age officers loyal to Vichy. Sources say the United States and Britain may recognize a temporary French government if the leaders resolve their differences. De Gaulle argues he is the sole link to the republic due to his role in the last government. South Africa expects maize crops of 22 million bags, 1 million above national use and 6.1 million above pre war consumption.
