Hard Coal Mine
Owners Hold Fast
Against Lewis
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 im
With mines producing 7,340,000
' ton. of rv n ypl under rnjv
tract, John L. " Lewis awaited
fresh signers today as most of
his miners took their first day
off under the new three-day work
week.
The United Mine workers' lead
er Is trying to use the short work
period as a lever against opera
tors still holding fast against his
contract demands.
The small soft coal companies
' In the Midwest and South which
have accepted his terms since
Tuesday have returned to a full
five-day week, and Lewis said
yesterday that "additional ton
nage will sign."
But major coal operators, pro
ducing nearly all the 550,000,000
tons mined in a year, sun neia
fast. Lewis would have to crack
their solid front before he could
claim any Important, major gain
in the montns-oid dispute.
The agreements Lewi-s signed
Tuesday and Wednesday with
companies In Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio call for a IS
cent Increase in the welfare roy
alty, boosting it to 35 cents on
every ton of coal produced, and
a 95-cent a day pay Increase
which gives the miner a basic
dally wage of $15.00.
The welfare fund finances pen
sions, disability payments and
the like for UMW members. Lew
is' demand for a boost in the
royalty which operators pay Into
tne lund nas oeen one or the
main stumbling blocks to any
agreement with owners of big
mines.
