Marshall defends coal talks and ignores critics
Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall defends his handling of the coal strike, stating three negotiated settlements were achieved and the aim was a settlement. He notes no nationwide energy shortage and a return to work without mine seizure. Critics blame inexperience and favored union ties, while Marshall cites collective bargaining limits and his focus on the coal crisis and his ill son Christopher.
