Coal Conferences • Are Resumed Today Other Settlements Bolster Lewis Stand Washington. June 14 —(VP)— ■ New wage settlements In the electrical and rubber industries today gave John L Lewis fresh ammunition in his fight for higher pay for his soft coal miners. The I'nited Mine Workers preaident and soft coal operators we-e scheduled to resume conferences this afternoon on a new contract to replace the agreement expiring In two weeks. la-wis has not indicated exactly how much of a pay increase he wants. But he was understood to have told the producers at their Saturday session that their no-general-increase position was “impossible" He reportedly chided them for waiting for a "pattern” to develop and added This Is the basic Industry, you ought to set the pattern." Since that meeting, two other Llg unions have won pay increases. The I'nited Electrical Workers (CIO) accepted an offer from General Electric company for an eight percent boost, putting the bulk of the electrical industry under new contracts. And the I'nited Rubber workers (CIO) settled with Firestone Tire a- Rubber Co. for 11 cents an hour In what is expected to set a pattern for the rubber Industry. Both sides in the coal dispute have made it clear there will be no ’■ost-df-livlng sliding adjustment on pay suck as provided in the new nmtract General Motors Corp and the I’nited Auto Workers (CIO). The I'MW newspaper has rejected that arrangement as a "set buck" for labor. lauding coal Industry spokesmen said that If lx>wis forces them to grant a wage Increase it would probably be a flat <enta-perhour boost good for the term of the contracts. operators said that even though Iz’Wis has abandoned hla refusal to talk about the new contract without final settlement of the lontroversy over the 1947 welfare fund, there is little prospect for a quick agreement They said too many issues must be settled Meanwhile federal mediator Cyrus. S Ching returned to the city and c-xpected to get a report on ' the progress of the coal negntlaHons I'nless there Is substantial I progress this week toward writ- . Inga new contract. Ching may feel 'orced to report to the White House the new threat of a coal I mine work stoppage two weeks hence. If you do the morally right thing in every situation, you need not worry about results. ■HMBIIMMBMMMMaMHBr Window Shopping NOT HAVING sufficient insurance on your household furnishings after a fire is like looking into a store window at somethin? you need and not hating the cash to buy it.
