Five Done To Death On Loudoun County Farm Miners Strike
The Associated Press reports UMW leader John L. Lewis sees only a refusal to work as the plan, with negotiations continuing to reach a contract. About 0.5 million union members affect roughly 3,150 soft coal and 450 hard coal mines under federal control, though some maintenance crews stay at work to keep shafts ready. The stoppage halts fuel flow to workers and independent unions, with rare exceptions in Pittsburg field where 10 loaders refused. White House warns the nation ro must not be hampered by any one group as Roosevelt orders wartime operation of pits during the crisis.
