Last-Minute
Legal Tangle
Slows Peace
WASHINGTON, July 7 (AP) A ttrik of at loo.t 60
par cent ot tho notion' 400,000 toft cool mlnori oppoon
inevitable tomorrow o tho wage pact which wag to lead th
way to peace in the bituminoug fields bogged down in loiN
minute legal tangles.
The other 40 percent ot? the industry may alio be strike
bound Tuesday, when the miners' ten-day vacation Is duo
to end, if the race to complete contract for th Northern
and steel company "captive" mines is lost.
A tentative agreement on general terms was reached
last Wednesday but this contract must be completed before!
(a) coal mine owners of tho South, Midwest and Far West
can determine whether they Want to or can buy peace t
the same price; (b) Lewis will oven talk about an agreement
with anyone else.
The legal snarl therefore wa
not only delaying the Northern
steel company settlement perilous
ly near the strike deadline, but
It had all but wiped out any hope
of getting agreements for the re
mainder of the industry In time
to bring the miners from other
areas back Into the pits by the
first shift at midnight tonight
The "captive" mines produce coal
only for steel making.
Legal Protection
Some operators said Lewt wa
demanding legal protection against
any future strikes under the Taft
Hartley labor law. and that the
Industry representative working
on the Northern-steel pact had
balked.
Becauae the new act would per
mit the coal companies to sue the
United Mine Worker for any
breach of contract. Lewi Is laid
to have Insisted on a provision
stating the miners need work only
when they are "wilUus and able.
Otherwise the tentative agree
ment negotiated by Benjamin F.
Fairies, president of the O. S.
Steel corporation, and George M.
Humphrey, chairman of the Pltt
burgh Consolidation Coal com
pany. Is reported to contain these
general terms:.
1. The daily pay for an Inside
day miner I set at $13.05 for eight
hours underground, with no pre
mium pay for portal-to-portal
travel but with the basic hourly
rata hiked from 11.18', to 81.63.
The miner actually would work
only six and one-half hours. Thir
ty minutes would be allowed for
lunch and one hour to get to and
from the mine opening under
