Roosevelt Not Yet Ready To Act Against Strikes

President Roosevelt likely will withhold executive action in the captive coal mine dispute until after the CIO Detroit convention. About 50,000 troops stand ready to seize captive mines if needed to restore coal production, though no final decision has been made. The plan aims to pressure unions while delays occur. Troops prepare for occupancy within hours after orders, with caution in handling workers. Concurrently, Congress signals a middle ground defense bill while delaying action for about a week. The Coal Picture shows captive mines mostly closed, commercial mines tied up by sympathy walkouts, and West Virginia near-total closures within 48 hours.
