Government Seizure Favored By Miners Amid Coal Strike Turmoil
Striking United Mine Workers warned government seizure of soft coal mines might end the outlaw walkout as violence spiked in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Two thousand pickets raided a mine in Pennsylvania, fires were set, and arrests followed. Officials said federal seizure appeared nearly inevitable, while local authorities boosted coal conservation as stockpiles fell. Miners, including Lee Burkey of Maxwell, Pa., said seizure could prompt a contract, with some expressing hope profits would stay with the government. Contempt actions loomed as a hearing was ordered by Judge Keech for the union's refusal to obey Taft-Hartley.
