The strike in the lower hard coal region of Pennsylvania, took place on the oe ined United Anthrecite Min- ers’ officiais, working with the N.R.A., succeeded in getting 40,000 to go back to work with the promises of “me- diation.” The union officials announced that the Panther Creek Valley strike had ended, and that a committee would take up the grievances with the com- pany.
