j 6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or... Wednesday, December 3, 1 958 New CoaD Miner Contracts Expected To Bring 52 Boost Washington -4UPD- John L. Lewis and the soft coal oper ators were expected to an nounce details today of new contracts providing a $2 a day wage increase for most of the nation's 186,000 bitumin ous miners. The agreements were ap proved in principle late Tues day by the United Mine Work ers Union's 137-man wage pol icy committee after negotia tions with the Bituminous Coal Operators association, an informed source said. But coal industry sources appeared surprised by reports that Lewis had accepted a double standard on handling nonunion coal in agreeing to separate contracts with the commercial mine owners and the "captive" mines owned by School News... Oak Grove School The sixth graders of Oak Grove school, for a science re port, went to see how news papers are published at the Medford Mail Tribune. The students reported it was very interesting. We were fascin ated to see how the words were formed on the great rolls of paper and also how skillfully the employees did their work. Nancy Elmgren, Diana Buckles.

Some of the children told about the radio, telephone, 'telegraph, television, newspapers, print ing, heiroglyphics, alphabet, radar, public address system, and many other things. Don ald Adams operated the tape recorder which also was one of the reports. We are going to have a panel discussion on communi cation. Each panel member will discuss why he thinks his type of communication is the most important. During open house the bul letin board in the art room was arranged by the sixth grade science class with com munications as the topic. This theme was carried out by two poles connected by Jines of wire. A telegraph set was displayed along with the mod el of a microwave set.-Jeanne Bressie.

The mine workers presi dent broke precedent by agreeing to the separate pacts. Fear Anti-Trust Prosecution Under the contract terms, one source said, the commer cial operators would be barred from buying, handling or sell ing non-union coal. The source said the proposed contract for the "captive" mines contains no such ban. Attorneys for the steel com panies were said to have ar gued that adoption of the non union coal ban in their con tract would subject them to prosecution for violation of the federal anti-trust laws. In addition to the $2 in crease, industry sources said, the new contracts also would increase vacation pay from the present $180 to $200 and extend the vacation period from 10 days to two weeks. The coal miners would get the extra $2 in two stages with $1.20 of the pay boost going into effect in January and the remaining 80 cents starting next April, the sourc es said. Production 20 Per Cent Less The miners basic wage is now $22.25 a day although many skilled workers receive more than that. Lewis won the new boost at a time when the industry is producing about 20 per cent less coal than in 1957. The -BCOA mines are main ly in the north and account Retirement Home For Teachers Due Portland -TOPI- Plans for a $3,800,000 apartment building for persons over 60, particu larly teachers, were an nounced Tuesday by the Ore gon Education Association. The building would be erected overlooking the Wil lamette river at Southwest Terwilliger Boulevard and sixth avenue. It would have 338 apartments and be similar to the Wallamette View Man or, a retirement apartment near Milwaukie. The OEA said the structure would be available for occu pancy about the end of 1960. About 10 per cent of the cost will be met by a down payment from, sale of mem berships to iuture tenants. The rest will be obtained from an FHA-insured loan.

The same contract terms usually are presented to the smaller southern coal producers asso ciation on a "take-it-or-leave it" basis. Some sources said, however, that the departure from tra dition in drawing up two sets of terms for the commercial and captive mines may open the way for further changes in agreement with various seg ments of the industry. National Guard Practice Alert In Near Future Salem, Ore. A statewide practice alert involving the actual mobilization of 90 Ore gon Army and Air National Guard units at home station will be 'held in the near fu ture, Maj. Gen. Thomas E Rilea, Adjutant General of Oregon, announced today. Purpose of the practice alert, General Rilea ex plained, is to test the ade quacy of the Oregon National Guard's current alert and mobilization plan and to in sure that individual unit alert and mobilization plans are complete and operational. Don't Be Alarmed "This will be the first prac tice alert involving the actual mobilization of troops since "Operation Minuteman," a nationwide test alert held in 1955," General Rilea said, "and again we ask the people of Oregon not to become alarmed when this test alert is sounded and our National Guard is temporarily mobil ized." "Operation Minufeman" was a nationwide alert con ducted by the National Guard Bureau on April 20, 1955, to test the speed and efficiency with which the National Guard could be mobilized in the event of an emergency. The exact time and date of the statewide practice alert will be kept secret until just before the alarm is sounded by General Rilea. His orders will be transmitted to Nation al Guard units located in 38 Oregon communities.
