The following events occurred in May 1943:

*More than 480,000 American coal miners walked off of the job a minute after midnight, when the United Mine Workers' contract with the nation's mining companies expired. U.S. President Roosevelt notified UMWA President John L. Lewis to cease the wartime work stoppage by 10:00 am, an order which was ignored, and then issued an Executive Order directing that "The Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to take immediate possession so far as may be necessary or desirable, of any and all mines producing coal in which a strike or stoppage has occurred or is threatened ...".〔"Roosevelt Orders Seizure of Coal Mines", ''Milwaukee Journal'', May 1, 1943, p1〕 At the time, there was only a three-week supply of coal for American steel manufacturers and ten days supply for some railroads.〔"Steel Plants Have Only Three Weeks Supply of Coal on Hand", ''Milwaukee Journal'', May 1, 1943, p2; "U.S. Strives to Get Mines Open Monday; Ickes Asks for a Cut in Railway Travel", ''Milwaukee Journal'', May 2, 1943, p1〕 The strike would resume on June 1.〔"Nation's Coal Mines Again Deserted as UMW Members Resume Strike", ''Milwaukee Journal'', June 1, 1943, p1〕
*The Ford Motor Company fired 141 employees, mostly African-American, from its aluminum and steel plants in River Rouge, Michigan, because of labor disputes.〔"Ford Co. Fires 141 for Plant Strife", ''Milwaukee Journal'', May 2, 1943, p1〕
