Pact May Set Pattern For Soft Coal Contracts
Washington June 8 AP John L Lewis announced U S Steel Corp has agreed to new contract talks for its coal mines starting June 13 in Philadelphia. Lewis disclosed a letter to Harry Moses of Frick Coke confirming the arrangements for the conference. The talks may set a pattern for the soft coal industry though U S Steel coal output is a small share of total. The current contract expires June 30 and little progress has been made. Lewis has met with Southern Coal Producers Association in Bluefield W Va, with little progress and wage demands reportedly for a lower scale than others. The no contract no work policy looms as a possible industry wide strike after the July vacation period. The Philadelphia sessions begin at 10 am next Monday at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel with about five negotiators.
