Washington reports the wage board approved the first year of a coal industry agreement with an average 18.8 percent hourly rise, signaling a tough next phase for other unions and possibly nonunion workers. Economists fear public confidence in wage price controls could erode amid large increases. The board, split 10 to 3, shows labor and management members aligned for a stiff future stance.

Pay Board Defends a Coal Wage Settlement
Pay Board chairman George H H Boldt defended the coal wage settlement amid Democratic charges that it undercuts the wage price freeze. Senator Proxmire called the move a dangerous precedent risking stabilizations, while Boldt and public members dissented from the board's vote. Treasury Secretary Connally argued Democrats seek political gain as Nixon’s program likely continues to curb inflation.

Mayoral runoff looming in Houston race
Houston mayoral race heads to runoff as incumbent Lowe Welch leads with 46.9 percent from 323 of 5 precincts while Hofheinz trails at 43.7 percent. Welch, seeking a fifth term, faces a likely runoff with Hofheinz, as uncounted votes skew toward minority and newly enfranchised voters. Welch's reelection would extend his influence over city government and national mayoral groups.
