Millions Face Unemployment Amid Coal Shortage Crisis
The article outlines widespread unemployment as students are sent home and coal production lags. About 40,000 United Mine Workers in soft coal regions work under new contracts but cannot meet demand. Strip mines feed only institutions like hospitals and schools, while many cities declare states of emergency. Police guard highways around Pittsburgh as coal dumps occur from limited strip-mined supply. An emergency unit will shuttle 3500 tons of coal to Pittsburgh hospitals. The Independent Progressive Mine Workers of America plans to unblock one mine for emergency coal to St. Louis area institutions, while their 16,000 members remain on strike in a separate dispute. A new foreign department opens at Walston Hoffman & Goodwin in New York with Eric A. Moederle directing, and a note about first golf balls being feathered and covered with feather.
