Broader Security Plan Pushes Shared Costs Across Jobs
The plan proposes a one percent increase in individual contributions for old age and unemployment benefits starting next January, with the five percent paid today to be shared by workers. Aimed at financing a future pensions fund, the measure envisions no federal input for 10 to 15 years after the war while allowing government aid later. Hospitalization and medical care would cover workers and dependents, with 30 days hospital care per year and up to 90 days if affordable.

President Roosevelts plan to end coal strike
President Roosevelt was poised to order 30,000 striking miners back to work as coal supplies dwindled and war production faced disruption. Signs of voluntary reentry appeared amid the no contract no work stance, with miners in several regions returning while others awaited the president’s appeal. In Kentucky Harlan County over 600 miners went back to their pits, and in Pennsylvania and nearby states crews resumed in union areas. Hartman’s one man revolt at Malmer mine drew 10 new followers as the strike continued to test wartime coal output and labor leverage.

War Effort Through Sabotage and Resource Sourcing
