Coal wage conference to challenge three day week policy
The National Bituminous Coal Wage Conference plans to ask the National Labor Relations Board to declare John L. Lewis's three day work week an unfair labor practice. George H. Love, president of Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Co., said the negotiating committee will file charges. Lewis urged separate operator deals for a 90 cent daily raise and 15 cent a ton welfare fund increase, aiming to lift miners' pay to 15 dollars daily. Love called Lewis's "blank check" contracts an illegal effort to coerce operators, noting no operators have signed.
