President Roosevelt Urges Miners to Return to Work
President Roosevelt appealed to idle coal miners to resume production as the government runs more than 3,850 mines and warned that stopping coal output endangers soldiers and the nation. He urged patriotism, stated deserting the war effort harms victory, and said any contract adjustments would be retroactive. He did not name John L. Lewis but linked the strike to wartime duty.
