Putnam Says Coal Decision Is Tough Faces Tough Choice On Mine Wage Hike WASH'INGTjoN, UP —Economic stabilizer Roger L. Putnam said triday he’d “rather go to Work tin the coal mines for the next few peeks’’ than decide how big a pay raise to approve for John L. Lewis’ United Mine Worker? Putnam faced the choice of granting ( the miners their full $1.90-ja-day negotiated wage increase or. upholding the ruling by the wage stabiHsatlotf board that anything more than $1.50 would be inflationary. i Eitner decision would spell trouble. The board haS warned that io give the miners the $1.90 would “damage the stabilization program irreparably.” Lewis countered” that to do any less would bring “Unrest, cpnfusion an<| throughout the soft coal industry, 'the miners’ boss gave his warning 1» an open hearing Mrinday when the coal case was dropped ih Putnam’s lap.

the decision, said he’d rather dig coal than hate to supply the answer, even though he had been advised throughout the heating by Lewis and Harry M.\ Moses, president of the Bituminous Coal Operators’ Association, of the hazards of mining. Said Lewis: “I don’t know of anyone who want? to go to work; in the coal mines. I don’t know of a government employe who left his job tp go to wprk In the mines, Of2 Who wanted to.” Putnam said he would come up with his ruling “as promptly as I can” after Lewis had implored,’ “How long, oh Lord, do we have to wait for this decision?" Putnam gave no indication of which way he would rule. However, ih the hearing he heard only representatives of the union and northern soft coal operators, with both’ citing numerous reasons why the full increase could be approved. Lewis and Moses criticized any Idea that the pay raise could be approved ‘‘in lieu” of fringe benefits which the miners did not negotiate new contract. Lewi? said he was confident “we could jiave gotten WBB approval by taking the costs of the contract and crincealing them in fringes” such as bald holidays and higher pay for snift differentials and vacations. .■ I > Neither he nor the operators chose to do this, Lewis added, because “the mine worker has the function to provide for the family at home before taking better vacations.’.’
