 Hope for Weekend
 Breok Abandoned

Washington, April l9- (UPl-The Labor Department abandoned hope today for a weekend break in the coal strike and feared that another week of the current impaSSe may force the nation into a major in- dustrial crisis,
 Yet despite the outlook, a feeling persisted among government otti- cials that there may be a sudden improvement early next week in the prospects for settlement,
 Unless there was quick change in the outlook, the nation was faced with the threat of sharp cutbacks in steel production with grave re- percussions of industrial reconver- sion.
 Optimistic
 The government did not appear perturbed by the coal mine opera tors departure from Washington last night, Officials believed they would return whenever circumStan- ceS justified, possibly next week
 Management representatives no- tified Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach that they were go- ing home but would return when ever he thought a new contract would be negotiated. John L. Lew is, president of the striking United Mine Workers (A.F.LD, broke off the negotiations nine days ago.
 The departure of the operators left only Lewis in Washington to be subjected to government efforts to break the deadlock over the un- ion demand for a health and well fare fund. However, mediator Paul w. Fuller also checked out of his hotel. indicating that the labor de- pertinent would not devote much effort this weekend to bringing the parties back to the bargaining ta- ble,
