Miners Return to Work Miners line up early at the Pitts
burgh Coal company's mine near Library, Pa., for their first
trip underground since the signing of the new coal contract.
Full production in the area will await formal ratification of
the new contract at a local union meeting. (Acme Telephoto.)
During a discussion with U.S.
Attorney Irving H. Saypol as to
who would defend Provoo, Me
dina turned to Provoo and
asked if the arrangement to
name two attorneys was satis
factory to him. '
The ex-GI from Sausihto,
Calif., hesitated and then said
almost inaudibly:
"If it is up to me, your honor,
I would dispense with counsel
and plead guilty."
The plea was rejected. Col.
Isadore Hornstein, of Jersey
City, N.J., who has been serv
ing as Provoo's counsel but can
not defend him because oiNoth
er commitments, told the court
that Provoo had a "good defense."
"He has changed his mind
many times before, your hon
or," Hornstein said, "and now
he's in the depths of despair. I
urge you not to take this plea."
"I certainly would not take a
plea on the impulse of the mo
ment," Judge Medina said.
Provoo broke in and said, "It
is not on impulse, your honor.
I have been thinking of this for
some time.
"One of the charges in the in
dictment dates back to 1942
when my superiors in the Phil
ippines lost, confidence in me. I
was dead. I nave been a long
time getting adjusted."
Provoo finally agreed to have
the judge appoint two lawyers
to represent him one a young
man and the other an older ex.
perienced attorney. Medina said
he had no one in mind as yet.
The court explained that the
younger attorney would be sent
to the Philippines and Japan, it
necessary, to take depositions of
witnesses.
No Pat Answer on Whether
Miners Won or Lost in Layoffs
By JAMES MARLOW
Washington, March 8 VP) There's no pat answer to this one:
How much pay did the coal miners lose by their lay-offs? And
how long will it take them now, with the increase they won, to
catch up?
There's no pat answer simply because miners are not people
who always, except when strik-'
ing, work 5-day week, 52 weeks
year.
t-
They've been away from the
pits about 100 working days
since last June 3u wnen ineir
contract ended because they
went on two full strikes and
for many weeks, on union orders,
worked only three days a week.
But this doesn't mean they
would have worked those 100
days if there had been no dis
pute with the mine owners.
The miner's picture is not that
cut and dried. President Tru
man and a number of senators
have said the coal industry is
sick. An operator spokesman
denies it.
The demand for coal has gone
down. More and more home
owners and Dusinesses nave
turned to oil and gas. For ex
ample:
In 1944, the peak of wartime
travel, the railroads used 132,
000,000 tons of coal. Bail travel
has decreased since then and the
roads have bought increasing
numbers of oil-driven engines.
In 1948 they used 95 million
tons.
At the same time, because of
technical improvements, a miner
can turn out more coal than he
used to. f
In 1936 a miner produced an
average of 4 tons a day. Now
he can produce nearly seven
tons.
So, while the demand for coal
drops, the miner's ability to meet
the demand has increased. He
can produce more in shorter
time.
If a miner worked five days
a week, 52 weeks a year, he'd
work 260 days a year. Actually,
the number of his work days has
been decreasing.
His average number of work
ing days a year is edging down
to the neighborhood of 200 a
year. Example:
In 1936199 days; 1937193
days; 1938 162 days; 1939
when Europe's war started 178
days; 1940, when our defense
program got started 202 days
The miner s working days in
creased then to a peak of 278 in
1944, which was the peak of the
war effort. Then: in 1945 261
1946, when big strikes in other
industries cut down coal de
mands 214; 1947 when indus
try picked up and we sent a lot
of coal to Europe 234 days; in
1948, when Europe's need for
coal dropped off 217 days.
There are no exact figures for
1949.
So, instead of working five
days a week for 52 weeks, the
miners, with their 217 work
days in 1948, worked only about
4i five-day weeks.
At that rate, if -thev worked
live days or one week, three an
other, two another, for 52 weeks
they could wind up with the
equivalent 43-five-day weeks of
work.
Since last June 30. because of
their dispute with the mine own
ers, the miners have worked
many three-day weeks and then
no weeks at all when they went
on full strike.
But, for the reasons given
above, it is impossible to say how
much of that lost time would
not have been lost if there had
been no dispute with the owners.
In fairness, keep that in mind
in reading what follows. Sup
pose there had been enough
work for the miners to keep
them busy every working day
since last June 30 when their
old contract ended.
On that basis, you can do

some figurine. Their dally pay
was $14.05 a day.
Since they were away from
the pits about 100 work days
at $14.05 a day, this meant
$1,405 each one didn't get.
They've now won a pay increase
of 70 cents a day.
So it will take them if they
work an average of 200 days a
year 10 years to catch back the
$1,405 they didn't get when they
stayed away 100 days.
But, since they also won an
additional 70 cents a day that
will go into their pension-wel
fare fund and not directly to
each miner, they've won a total
increase of $1.40 a day, 70 cents
pay, 70 cents pension-welfare.
Figuring that way, they'll earn
back the $1,405 in five years
of 200 working days a year.
As for the millions the mine
owners lost through mine shut
downs, there's no way of telling
how long it will take them to
catch up. That depends in a
large part on how much they
now boost the price of coal,
