New Coal Wage Contract For 1,000,000 Men
The Associated Press reports a tentative wage deal between hard coal mine operators and United Mine Workers CIO affecting about 100,000 anthracite miners who were ordered back to work. The pact allows a 7.5 percent basic increase rising to 10 percent by October 1, with the union seeking a $1 daily raise and a 20 percent boost for contract workers. Separately, railroad unions in Chicago push for a 30 percent pay rise and at least $1.80 daily, while a CIO strike disrupts Apollo Steel defense orders. Other labor actions involve AFL CIO machinists near San Francisco Bay and a push for higher wages and overtime pay.
