Lewis And Operators Draft Union Contract
Washington March 4 John L Lewis and northern and western coal operators began mapping legal details to end the nine month soft coal dispute. An agreement could be signed by noon EST.

The pact would raise miners pay, boost operator royalties to fund welfare and retirement, remove old contract bottlenecks, limit work stoppages to five days, and revise the welfare fund administration. The agreement covers western and northern operators and captive mine owners.
