Coapnerd From Page One Assures Wage Standoff Impacts
The document warns that if demand for coal is insufficient to transport costs or if other conditions halt operations for six weeks, profits could collapse in many industries at risk. It notes a substantial base rate increase since January 1941 under the Little Steel formula, and that proposed guarantees would raise wages, potentially violating the President's stabilization and wage freeze orders. OPA had adjusted coal pricing to cover labor, and negotiations between operators and the UMW extend a contract deadline.

Accident Reporting Law Is Proposed
MONTGOMERY AP Alabama motorists may soon be required by law to turn in a written report on every automobile accident in which anyone is injured or killed or in which property damage totals 25 or more. The interim committee of highways approved a plan by the State Public Safety Department and National Safety Council for a compulsory accident reporting law, one of four states without such a statute. Attorney General William N. McQueen is drafting a law at the request of public safety authorities. Other committees reported on proposed legislation with wide effects, including welfare and education funding increases, and a retirement bill for circuit judges allowing 70-year-olds with 15 years service to be placed on superseded status for duties and pay.
