Lewis stuyed away from contract
ncgotiatlcns with big anthracite
companies today to sign up mc-re
small soft coal operators who
have agreed to his demands lor
a ys-centsa day wage Increase.
The United Mine Workers chief
cupilulrcd on tils strengthened
position to disregard tne nurd
coal producers' request that he
call off his Ihreeduy work week
decree. Moat of the union's 4S0,
000 members were to qull the
mines and not return until Mon

Lewis announced In Washing

the basic bituminous coal wage

tracts with Individual companies
lo return lo New York to Join in

accepted the contract terms yes-
teruay, lwis said, with the op
erators signed Tuesday, that
placed the total at some 7,340,
800 Ions yearly production under
the new contract.
"Pattern" Claimed
Although these operators rep
resent less than two per cent ot
the soft coal, industry's total pro
duction. Lewis indicated that
they had set a "pattern" which
the entire Industry must accept.
However, most major produc
ers continued to scoff at Lewis'
negotiations with the small com
without a contract rather lhan
accept conditions which would
ratse the price of coal.
The terms of the UMW's con
tract with the small bituminous
producers were:
1. A basic wage increase from
$14.05 to $15 a day and return
to the five-day week immediate
ly. 2. A 15-cent-a-ton increase in
Industry payments to the union's
welfare and retirement fund,
bringing payments to 35 cents a
ton.
3. Retention ot the eight-hour
portal-to-portal work day.
4. Retention of the controver
sial "willing and able" clause
which gives Lewis power to call
"quickie" strikes and shorter
work weeks.
