Wage Stabilization Board Faces resignations over coal wage decision
Washington reports the Wage Stabilization Board's new chairman Charles Killingsworth may face resignations from industry members in protest of President Truman's coal wage ruling. Archibald Cox quit the post, citing overrule of a $1.90 daily wage boost for 440,000 miners, prompting industry boycott talks and potential general easing of wage rules. The hard coal raise is expected to cost heating fuel about 90 cents per ton.
