Coal wage pact signed despite steel industry balk
John L. Lewis secured a new contract with most soft coal operators on Friday, boosting miners wages by one dollar a day and doubling the welfare fund contribution. The agreement retains the union shop but is rejected by U S Steel and about 60 million tons of coal under steel control, who argue the Taft Hartley act requires a majority vote. The National Coal Association estimates coal costs could rise by about 50 cents a ton, likely passed to consumers.
