Lewis And Operators Draft Union Contract
Washington March 42 United Mine Workers leader John L Lewis and northern and western soft coal operators began drafting details of a tentative contract ending a nine month strike. A signing by noon was predicted as mediators said two thirds of 270,000 strikers would return Monday. The pact would avert a government seizure, though full coal delivery to industries will take weeks. The agreement increases miners' daily wage to 14.75, raises operator royalties to fund welfare and retirement, eliminates the wilting and able clause, and limits work stoppages to five days yearly. The arrangement covers western and northern miners and steel company mines, affecting about 260,000 of the 370,000 striking miners.
