Coal strike loom as Lewis inks one year deal with Northern operators
Washington AP reports Dixie coal operators face a choice of striking or accepting terms set by John L. Lewis. The 29 member Southern Coal Producers Association may copy northern rates including a 1.90 daily pay rise and 10 cent ton royalty. Western mines align with Moses. The deal lifts daily wage to 18.25 and royalty to 40 cents a ton, funding pension and welfare. A possible industry wide walkout hinges on Wage Stabilization Board approval by mid October.
