Coal Pact Ends Fight On Pay Hikes
Washington reports John L. Lewis and coal operators reached a contract that ends the industry wide fight over a third postwar wage rise. Major steel firms including General Motors, General Electric, and Westinghouse signaled reluctant acceptance of a $1 a day pay raise and a 20 cent per ton welfare contribution. The agreement covers about 70 percent of the nation s coal output and likely averts a broader strike as miners plan to return to work after a holiday break. A labor board advisory said the deal shields national health and state concerns while sidestepping Taft Hartley issues for now.
