Workers Demand Higher Wages as Miners Stand Firm
Washington March 26 John J Lewis urged that coal miners deserve higher wages and insist they are not bound to a no strike pledge a 1941 agreement voided by the War Labor Board. He argued industry profits from government contracts while miners face dietary hardship and inflation. The four hour hearing before the War Investigating Committee saw heated exchanges as Lewis defended miners against demagoguery claims and warned of broader economic strain. Baltimore beef supplies run low as stores anticipate further shortages with pork and lamb also scarce ahead of Saturday. Local anniversaries noted as Mrs Rentzell and Mr Carl Rentzell celebrate eleventh wedding anniversary in the city.
