WLB Approves Coal Mines Wage Schedule and Travel Time
The War Labor Board approved the wage agreement for the soft coal industry ending a year of controversy and four major strikes. It shifts contract obligations from the Interior Department to operators, enabling possible withdrawal of government control. The decision does not settle all disputes as the Southern Coal Operators Association is not party to the agreement and disputes the $40 retroactive travel time payment. The nine hour portal to portal workday increases production time by an hour daily, with 15 minutes lunch unpaid and 45 minutes allotted travel time. miners readjust wages from seven to nine hours.

Allies anticipate an orderly retreat from key passes and Rome defense, while German rear communications suffer Allied air strikes. Sabotage by anti-Nazi elements and the burdens of stretched fronts heighten the odds of a general withdrawal to save the balky front.

Bigamy Charge Is Preferred In Maryland Prison Case

He admitted marrying a Halpine Maryland girl on March 11 and did not divorce a previous wife from a New York marriage in 1835. Officers pursued blank leads as two women claimed to be his wives.
