Anthracite Labor Pact Nears Ratification
Basic agreement on terms for a new anthracite labor contract suggests impending peace in the coal industry. John L. Lewis and anthracite operators say they agree on settlement principles, with final details to be ironed out by lawyers and ratified today. The deal mirrors the soft coal pact with a 70 cent daily wage rise and a 10 cent royalty increase for welfare payments, though Lewis had sought a larger royalty. An end to the three day work week in anthracite mines was ordered, while production quotas keep most mines operating at time and a half. Senator Taft criticized Truman for prolonging the soft coal dispute, saying the administration encouraged defiance of the law.
