Signing Of Soft Coal Peace Pact Delayed
A 24 hour delay in signing a soft coal peace pact for Northern mines followed by Southern operators reporting a complete brush-off from John L. Lewis. Lewis postponed a policy committee meeting to ratify the agreement in principle with Northern employers of 150000 miners. The pact calls for a 44 1/2 cent basic hourly increase and could allow resumption of digging in 3000 northern pits as a 10 day industry wide vacation ends. Southern firms report five failed attempts to learn terms from Lewis and expect no progress until the Northern contract becomes public.

Referendum Results and Shifts in County Voter Roll
The Aug 14 1949 referendum saw Tecatestron win 1626 to 1009 as veteran and returning service voters influence turnout. The Houston Couplers’ qualified voters have grown since the WAPA and Tuerdas factors, while many veterans vote with ease due to no requirement for Pell tas eligibility. The Newra vote did not exist in 1943 but has since been added to the ballot powers.
