Mines Must Be Kept Open Two Weeks From Now
President Roosevelt’s policy that coal mines must stay operating remains firm for at least two weeks. White House secretary Stephen T. Early said the 14 day strike pause announced by United Mine Workers chief John L Lewis is not yet final, and no official word has been received from the miners’ group. Early noted there is no change in the president’s radio broadcast plan and that work on the war draft began yesterday afternoon.
