New Contract Puts 75 000 Back To Work
Pennsylvania's 75,000 hard coal miners will return to the anthracite pits Monday under a new contract granting an 18 percent hourly raise and a 2.7 million dollar health and welfare fund financed by a five cents a ton royalty. The pact ends a week-long strike after talks between anthracite operators and John L. Lewis's United Mine Workers. The fund will be administered by three trustees including two chosen by Lewis. President Truman's position on the Case labor disputes bill remains under consideration with a possible veto and accompanying report.

OPA Price Extension Bill Attacked by Senate Panel
Four members of the Senate banking committee warned that the amended price control extension bill makes a death sentence of price, wage and rent stabilization. Chairman Wagner and Sen. Downey Taylor and Mitchell argued it endangers economic safety and risks immediate expiration of existing laws. The panel contends Congress must fight inflation in 12 months rather than surrender to unrestrained markets.
