Coal wage plan eyed by miners and operators
Washington reports that coal operators and mine union officials from 14 states agreed on a five dollar per day basic wage within a code of fair competition. The plan targets ordinary miners by the hour with $4.50 daily for common labor outside the mine and differential pay for tonnage or working conditions. Disputes remain over maximum hours with unions pushing five eight hour days weekly and operators proposing 40 hours on average. The subcommittee continues to draft the labor clause as talks on wage differentials and skilled-worker pay continue. Johnson aims to unite industry in a single code, with nonunion operators in the north and southern producers preparing separate positions.

The cabinet board trimmed a sub-committee’s $400,000,000 of project recommendations during a three hour session. Ickes, as chair, leads the public works campaign while details of the process remain undisclosed.
