Miners reject salary rise as snowstorms lash nation
The United Mine Workers convention in Washington voted to approve overtime coal production tomorrow to ease a fuel shortage while rejecting salary boosts for leaders. John L. Lewis vetoed a raise to 25 000 and peers refused increases amid a drive for a 30 hour week in upcoming wage talks. Heavy storms across the U S bring subzero cold, with blizzards isolating regions from Montana to Maryland and major disruptions to travel and power.
