No Progress on Settling Coal Strike With Pinchot Plan
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh reports say no substantial progress toward ending the fifteenth week long hard coal strike was made at Harrisburg and subsequent talks. Merchants from Scranton Wilkes-Barre Hazleton met with Gov Pinchot and with miners and operators but offered no new plan. Gov Pinchot stands by his peace proposal and may urge operators to reconsider. A separate inquiry in Pittsburgh will examine alleged contract violations by Southwestern Interstate Coal Operators Association and may lead to a strike vote.
