At the White House, John L. Lewis, union head, and federal coal administrator, J. A. Krug, with his chief deputy Vice-Admiral Moreell, conduct negotiations, which mean good news to consumers. The end of the strike, which shut down soft coal mines on April 1 and threatened a tie-up of all industries. All through the soft coal regions, miners await the word to return on completion of the compromise agreement. Everybody's happy.
