Operators Seek Shorter Week If Wages Rise
Bituminous coal operators warned today they will demand a shorter work week only if wages rise. John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers pressed for wage and working-condition talks with a March 12 meeting in which foremen’s union issues could resurface. The industry argues higher pay would hurt coal's competitiveness, with labor costs about 65 percent of cost per ton and average wages $2.93.
