Agreement Reached On Core Points Of Coal Code
Washington Aug 28 AP Hugh S Johnson said an accord on the essential points of a coal industry code was reached by United Mine Workers representatives and Appalachian field operators after hours of talks. The basis of an agreement covers principal issues and will be recommended to the president, though no provisions can be announced until wording is finalized. Wage and hour disputes centered on a $5 day for 36 hours versus a higher wage for 40 hours, with other labor relations issues closely debated. The deal came as the deadline approached and Johnson aimed to avoid a administration written code. He had previously brought 70 percent of the coal region together with John L Lewis and aides. The conference broke up Friday night.
