PRESIDENT’S TRIUMPH
COAL STRIKE SETTLED. (9.20 a.m.) WASHINGTON, April 29. ’The White House announces that 13 southern coal operators have accepted President Roosevelt’s proposal for reopening the mines while the wage negotiations continue.
The immediate resumption of coal production will follow Air Roosevelt’s successful intervention in a dispute which baffled the Defence Alediation Board and all other attempts at a settlement. His immense influence, it is admitted on all sides, has averted h very grave industrial catastrophe. The coal stoppage was begun on Ala reli 31 and affected 4000 miners. The steel, transportation, and other defence industries, which had begun to feel the pinch of the coal shortage, will now receive coal within a few days. The southern soft coal operators have agreed to increase wages by a dollar a day in accordance with Air Roosevelt’s suggestion. The remaining differences will l>c negotiated while production proceeds.
