The men, members of Progressive Miners of America Local No 1, faced indefinite entombment as talks on a staggered shift failed. If unresolved by next week, up to 400 more could be drawn in.

Sit down labor action spreads as a ten union coalition in New York and adjoining states claims 15000 members after secession from the Retail Clerks association. The CIO offensive in retail trade is noted while a separate strike at Fleischer studios draws aid from 20 unions.
