One Group Ready to Act Coal Pact on Agenda For Mine Operators
Washington Dixie coal mine owners meet to decide on new contract talks with John L. Lewis, though doubt remains they will act. A group may back terminating current contracts with the United Mine Workers Union, led by Lewis, but an influential member doubts approval at the general meeting. Existing contracts signed in 1952 could be terminated by Oct 1, 1953, but both sides have kept them open as miners earn 18.25 dollars per day plus 40 cents per ton into the welfare fund. Operators hope to cut costs amid high unemployment, while union members cling to the no contract no work policy. Some fear a prolonged strike might follow, while others warn Northern mines could take Southern business. Lewis has rejected wage cuts, urging cooperation to expand markets. The Southern association holds a two day meeting with new directors to be elected.
