Coal Dispute Moves Back Toward WLB
Washington June. The soft coal operator union wage negotiations veered toward the War Labor Board as producers and unionists remain far apart. Burke for Southern Appalachian operators said talks over underground travel pay nearly broke down and the producers will report to the WLB there is no chance of agreement. John L. Lewis of United Mine Workers demanded 2 dollars a day for miners over 500000, for 90 minutes underground travel. Operators argued 48 minutes straight time was short of a dollar, and the demand failed. Lewis then dropped to 1.50 dollars on a 80 day trial, which was rejected.
