Approval Seen On Mine Contract
Washington AP reports mine workers vote today on a contract ending a strike involving over half of the nation s 100 000 soft coal miners. Sources predict approval as the deal offers at least a 1 daily pay raise retroactive to April 1, slightly above the 3 2 percent wage guideline. About 23 000 miners await the policy committee s approval before returning to work while up to 60 000 were off the job during the two week walkout, the industry s largest in 15 years. Thousands responded to a back to work plea from union officials while talks followed an April 11 strike start after a separate agreement had granted a 1 32 daily increase to top rated miners, bringing their pay to 30 a day.
