President Roosevelt Warns Miners Over War-Time Coal Output
President Roosevelt pledged not to recognize the United Mine Workers deadline for coal production, warning the nation’s war effort could suffer from a prolonged strike. About 145,000 of Pennsylvania’s 200,000 miners were idle as pickets aimed to shut down mines, with roughly half of U S miners idle nationwide. Union leaders reported organizers sent to win workers back by Monday, testing adherence to the union’s back-to-work order. A dispute within the administration over disciplinary action arose as the War Labor Board asked Byrnes to compel UMW to sign a contract.

Grew credits Chinese resistance with delaying Japanese attack
Former Ambassador Joseph C. Grew told a crowd that China's stubborn defense slowed Japan's advance and prevented a swift victory over the United States and Britain. He warned that after Pearl Harbor the misread belief that China failed led to overconfidence in Japan's strength, while China’s resistance helped mobilize Japan and sharpen its forces for campaigns in the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies and Malaya.
