New Anthracite Coal Miners To Return Under New Pact
New York and Pennsylvania announce a 75,000 strong hard coal miners return to work Monday under a pact granting an 18.2 cent hourly raise and a 2.7 million dollar health and welfare fund funded by a five cent per ton royalty. The deal ends a week-long strike after five weeks of talks with the operators and John L. Lewis UMW leadership. The agreement costs operators an estimated 50 to 60 million dollars annually and is expected to raise anthracite prices about one dollar per ton. The fund will be administered by three trustees two named by Lewis and one by the operators. A referendum among miners is planned.
