Coal Decision Due Today in Soft Coal Wage Case
Washington economic stabilizer Roger Putnam faced a looming decision on the soft coal wage dispute. He planned to consult presidential aides before making a public ruling as members of the Wage Stabilization Board hovered near resignations over John L. Lewis miners earning a 1.90 pay boost. The WSB previously cut 40 cents from the daily boost arguing any larger raise would hurt inflation and the stabilization program. Putnam had failed to win industry and union agreement on a compromise to grant 40 cents as fringe benefits for 375,000 miners.
