Coal unions sign shop contract to reopen mines Monday
Fifteen of twenty one Appalachian bituminous coal associations signed a union shop contract with John L Lewis's United Mine Workers, enabling 300,000 miners to return to work Monday. Six southern groups abstained, with leaders like L C Gunter hinting at non union action. The two year pact sets pay at 6 dollars a day north and 5.60 south, replacing the expired March 31 agreement. Dr John R Steelman praised the accord as essential amid a national energy crunch.
