New pact nears as UMW coal strike moves toward vote
In Washington negotiators for the United Mine Workers and coal operators reached tentative terms aimed at ending a 99 day strike. Arnold Miller called for a voting session by the bargaining council with rank and file ratification possible within about 10 days. The pact lowers some health care costs, preserves industry bargaining, and avoids further federal intervention while separate talks continue with the construction-miners group. White House hailed the interim accord as essential for steady coal supply amid ongoing legal actions and a Taft Hartley cooling-off period debate.
