NEW CRISIS
IN UNITED STATES COAL INDUSTRY PENSYLVANIA NEGOTIATIONS BREAK DOWN. TROUBLED AND UNCERTAIN OUTLOOK. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) WASHINGTON, June 16. The tentative wage agreement between the president of the United Mine-workers’ Association, Air Lewis, and the Pennsylvania operators, has fallen through, and with only five days of the strike truce remaining, a new crisis appears certain. The dispute has now been referred to the ’War Labour Board.
The official reason for the collapse of the negotiations is not announced, but it is believed that the Mine-workers’ Association refused to release the operators from legal claims for back portal payment.
The United Press says that ordinarily predictions of another walk-out would be general but uncertainty is introduced by the fact that the drastic An-ti-Strike Bill is awaiting the President’s signature. If the President signs the Bill as many Congressmen predict, Mr Lewis could be gaoled for a year and fined 500 dollars, or both, for instigating a fresh miners’ strike.
