U.S.A. COAL DISPUTE
NEW DEADLOCK REACHED. (Rec. 9.30) WASHINGTON, June 8. There has been a virtual breakdown in the negotiations between the coal mine operators and the United Mineworkers’ Association of America. It developed late to-day. The miners’ leader, Mr. J. L. Lewis, termed the conference “a farcial proceeding in every respect.” He added: -The sullen, morose attitude of the mine operators is an insult to the coalminers and the national interest.” The mine operators only comment was that a report is being ‘drafted- for the War Labour Board. The Associated Press of America says: It is believed that the deadlock arose on the issue of portal pay. The dispute is to go to the War Labour Board on Wednesday.
