Murray a New York financier quit as neutral when his compromise proposal was rejected by Lewis and Van Horn. He suggested setting aside 25 million from a welfare fund financed by a coal royalty to fund a 100 monthly pension for the most eligible miners first, with broader access later. Lewis demands pensions for all miners over 60 with 20 years of service, while operators oppose extending benefits to workers outside the contract, arguing it violates Taft Hartley law.

Market panic over frozen merchandise floods regional trade
Merchandisers warn that 64 merchandise when it arrives will be frozen and either sold reconsigned at a new freight rate or dumped. The issue hinges on a pocket market during stock season as West Virginia crops arrive. Wholesalers fear independent truckers use the area as a campsite for inferior goods and say No. 1 peaches cannot be guaranteed. A state law push would force traders to sell by trades on closed packages, but regulating bulk flows remains limited.
