Coal Crisis Is Given Back To The Government

Miners And Operators Turn Cold Shoulder On Informal Government Attempts To End Walkout Ford Motor Co. Will Shut Down Entire System Tonight. (By United Press) The coal crisis was tossed back to President Truman otf Congress today after miners and operators turned a cold, shoulder on informal government attempts to end the 38-day-old walkout. 'Apart from direct and forceful intervention, there seemed little likelihood of reopening the mines in time to prevent a general industrial collapse. The strike, which has curtailed steel, utilities, and railroad operations, claimed its first casualty in the Automobile industry when the Ford Motor Company announced it would' shut down its entire system tonight for an indefinite period, idling 110,000 workers.
