Miners Win New Pact to End Strike and Return
Pennsylvania's 75000 hard coal miners end five week strike and return to anthracite pits Monday under a new contract. Wages rise by 181 percent cents an hour and a $2.7 million health and welfare fund will be financed by a five cent per ton royalty. The agreement, resembling the soft coal deal, costs operators an estimated 50 to 60 million dollars annually and adds about one dollar per ton to consumer prices. The fund is to be managed by three trustees two named by Lewis and one by operators.
