Reports of Army Activities Denied
Washington March 31 Federal action in the nation wide coal strike hinges upon public emergency it was said at the White House tonight. The President and his Cabinet do not feel an emergency exists and no mobilization of aero squadrons is planned. Congress keeps in touch with developments while government intervention moves forward including a special investigation by the House Labor Committee likely to join with the Senate. Leaders criticize coal operators for failing to fulfill contracts with miners and seek responsibility for delays. Calder’s resolution calls for a broad industry inquiry via the Federal Trade Commission, blocked temporarily by Sutherland, with a vote targeted for next week.
