New Efforts Aim at Unified Wage Codes in Coal Industry
The report outlines competing wage codes among operators and unions in the coal sector. The United Mine Workers backing a general agreement proposes $5 daily wages with a southern 3 percent differential, while northern operators favor lower base pay with a larger southern differential. A proposal restricting bargaining to a firm’s own employees drew resistance from unionists. NRA counsel Richberg urged removal of that clause, but was rejected. Johnson signaled no changes to the recovery act.
