Mine Workers Tell Of Needy Families
Union delegates at the United Mine Workers convention pressed for more relief during strikes and lockouts but rejected special assessments. West Virginia and Alabama miners described needy families during last spring’s six week coal stoppage. Leaders argued for a uniform relief policy financed by small member assessments, while the secretary treasurer warned such moves would be costly and unnecessary given state unemployment relief. Changes to the constitution empowered fines for missed meetings, renamed CIO, and shifted the annual convention date. President John L. Lewis said the conference would end today with a brief executive board meeting Friday.

Gas service to Toledo Industries was cut off as 200 members of Gas Workers' Local Union struck for a new contract. The stoppage follows a stalemate in negotiations with Northwest Ohio Natural Gas and Ohio Fuel Gas Companies. City Manager George N. Schoonmaker called a conference of city, company, and union representatives to seek settlement, as the old contract expired at midnight. The union seeks wage increases, a union shop, security, and arbitration rights, while emergency crews would be used but the company refused.
