Pact in Coal Draws Fire Of Connally
Treasury Secretary Connally criticized the Pay Board for approving a 15 percent raise for soft coal miners calling it disappointing and warned it should not set a precedent. He pressed for other wage decisions to remain within established guidelines as the Price Commission considered coal price hikes. Connally also defended Nixon's economic controls, attacked AFL CIO leader Meany, and announced a Rome meeting of the Big Ten trading nations to discuss exchange-rate realignment.
