Nation faces worst industrial strike threat since year
United Mine Workers halted coal production in a pension dispute. CIO President Philip Murray warned United Steelworkers would strike at midnight Saturday unless steel firms accept the pension and war fund demands based on a presidential fact finding report. Government economists warn that continued coal stoppage and steel walkout could erase recent economic gains. With 480000 miners idle and 500000 steelworkers poised to strike, nearly 1 million workers may be idled next week. Steel company heads and Murray held a Washington conference called by Cyrus S. Ching of the federal mediation service to avoid a steel walkout.
