Lewis Demands
J i
Wage Boost
WASHINGTON, (JP) — John L.
Lewis was reported today to be
demanding the equivalent of 35
cents an hour wage increase for
the 400,000 soft coal miners.
This information was given u
reporter by persons close to the
negotiations as contract talks be
tween Lewis and mine operators
went on despite the holiday.
The informants on the wage de
mands said that Lewis asks more
than 20 cents an hour increase
through a shorter work week and
also asks other benefits which
would boost the miners’ basic
rates as much as 35 cents hourly.
The soft coal digger now gets
$1.18Vfe an hour. With some
“overtime” pay, this gives him
$11.85 for the normal nine hours
underground daily. The miner
who works six days receives more
than $75 a week.
The latest bureau of labor sta
tistics report says sofe coal miners
are averaging $64.90 weekly for a
54 hour week in the mines.
Alaska Shipping
“Big Headache”
SEATTLE, P) — Vice Admiral
W. W. Smith, chairman of the
maritime commission, said here
yesterday Alaska shipping was the
commission’s “biggest headache” I
in recent months. He promised \
that every effort will be made to I
work out a program for the Terri-;
tory. I
He told a junior chamber or j
commerce meeting that the com- I
mission wants to and is required
by present law to get out of steam
ship operations by June 30, turn
ing over all ships to private com- i
panies.
“That’s why the interim ship
ping contracts with Seattle lines
was approved recently,” ne ex
plained. “If we had stalled any
longer Seattle would have been
without any service at all.
“We don’t like exclusive con
tracts with anyone but so far. de
spite all the shouting and shooting
at the commission, no application
other than by the Seattle lines has
been received.”

Bill Agreed Qti
WASHINGTON, (A>>-TGongres
sional conferees on legislation de
signed to check strikes and labor
union activities reached {inal ac
cord today on a compromise bid.
An agreement to scrap a House
provision which would have ex
cluded food processors from col
lective bargaining rights was the
last action taken by the conferees
before returning the measure to
the House and Senate for further
action.
Senator Taft <R.-Ohio> told re
porters the committee decided to
remove this controversial section
from the final draft and leave the
matter to interpretation by the na
tional labor relations board.
* This means it continues a mat- %
ter of dispute so far as the NLRB
and the courts are concerned.
Taft reported the compromise
bill was approved by seven of the
10 conferees.
The final draft represents im
portant concessions to the Senate
by the House conferees, who
agreed to abandon a near-blanket
ban on industry collective bar
gaining and a provision authoriz
ing private employers to seek in
junction against some strikes and
boycotts.
