Lewis backs down to win wage gains in wartime coal crisis
The piece traces a tug of war between Lewis and the Roosevelt administration over wartime coal. After a miners’ strike idled 530,000 workers, the War Labor Board’s order was balanced by Ickes, the fuel administrator, who secured a new contract framework. Lewis accepts a government extension of the old contract with added concessions, including a 25 cent daily increase and a path to further gains as bargaining resumes. The article notes no penalties for the strike, and hints at looming legislation on wartime workers’ rights as Congress and the administration maneuver for labor support.
