Coal miners prepare to return to work and listen to news over a radio about end of labor strike in December 1946.
Westland Mine coal mine workers, wearing helmets with lights, are gathered in a room as they listen to a radio news broadcast in a local office of the Pittsburgh Coal Company, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. On December 7, 1946, United Mine Workers President John L. Lewis called an end to the labor strike by 400,000 coal miners that he had called on November 20, 1946. Maps of Westland mines No. 1 and 2 are among many that line the walls of the office. The mine workers look at a notice of the Government takeover ordered by the Secretary of the Interior, and a notice to their union, The United Mine Workers of America. Coal miners check their personal equipment in preparation for entering mines, with the strike now ended.
