Complete Coal Stoppage Expected Monday
Washington September 17 The danger of a nationwide coal strike looms as 400000 miners prepare to stay away next Monday. Trustees of the coal welfare fund led by John L. Lewis suspend pension and other benefits amid a money shortage and operator refusals. Ezra Van Horn resigns as operator trustee and warns of court action for a successor. The government steps in to bring CIO steelworkers and steel companies to talks in Washington with director Cyrus S. Ching of the mediation service. The steel fact finding board had urged a wage halt but pension insurance for up to a million workers.
