Coal Operators and Miners Resume Talks With No Quick Settlement
The Associated Press reports that talks between bituminous operators and the United Mine Workers, led by John L Lewis, resumed in Washington but no progress was seen. A 12:01 a.m. Monday strike affected steel output and public transit in Detroit and Akron, with 400,000 miners idle in Utah and Wyoming and 3,500 more affected in Utah and Wyoming. Special mediator Paul Puller attended the session, but operators' spokesman Charles O Neill said there was no progress. Bus and streetcar service also stayed idle in Detroit as wage disputes lingered between the AFL union and city transit officials.
