Coal Strike Shrinks Steel Output and Idle Rail Work
In Pittsburgh on April 4 the national coal strike keeps 400,000 AFL United Mine Workers idle for a fourth day. Maintenance in mines continues, while roving pickets appear in West Virginia pits. Steel plants report 5,000 workers idled as operations slow to conserve. Predicted first week Pittsburgh-area steel loss runs to 115,000 tons, rising to 125,000 tons next week, with railroads affected by reduced coal shipments.
