Smaller Mines In Indiana Sign New Contracts
In Terre Haute on February 27, small western Indiana coal mines and United Mine Workers officials planned a meeting to sign contracts that could reinstate about 1,000 miners within days. The move, potentially setting a trend for wagon mines, would raise pay from 80 to 95 cents per hour with a 35 cent per ton pension and welfare fund, and contracts would be canceled when a national pact is reached. South Linton and Buck Creek mines have signed and are back to work. Wolf Koenig units in Knox County also reported new deals covering two of three mines with roughly 80 workers producing over 1,000 tons daily.
