Wage talks collapse stalls coal contract in eight hour shift clash
Soft coal operators controlling about three quarters of the bituminous field rejected John L. Lewis demands for a 35 cent rise an hour calling them unreasonable. Talks broke off one month before government return of mines to private owners with a July 1 deadline looming and a possible 400 000 miners strike. The operators offered a 15 cent raise from 1.18 1/2 to 1.34 1/2 with no day reduction. Lewis sought eight hour days and higher base pay adding 20 cents an hour plus 15 more cents lifting costs. Authorities warn costs could rise 65 to 75 cents a ton and hurt coal demand. Negotiations resume Tuesday with separate talks for the Southern Coal Producers Association already in recess. The Cubic Air Board says no immediate grounding follows Maryland and New York DC 4 crashes lightly.
