Soft coal contract seen as stability path after strikes
George H. Love, chief spokesman for northern and western producers, says the 28 month agreement with John L. Lewis mining unions offers the industry its first real opportunity for stability in a decade and could end future coal strikes. Lewis says his United Mine Workers are grateful for the settlement. The pact raises soft coal miners pay to 14.75 a day, boosts health fund payments, and bars reopeners before April 1951 while eliminating the willing and able clause and limiting disaster memorial periods. The deal shifts ant h r a c i t e talks to New York as courts weigh legal questions on union shop and non communist affidavits.
