Mine Owners Reject 3 Day Work Week
Coal operators in the north and west voted to reject John L. Lewis offer to stop a strike in exchange for a three day work week. They fear legal risks under anti trust laws for limiting the work week. Two conferences are under way with UMW and operators, and with Lewis and U.S. Steel representatives as the June 30 contract expiry nears. The miners are on a 10 day vacation ending July 5, with the strike deadline after the holiday.
