Miners Slow
in Resuniing
Production

Washington. Nov. 5-INs-Coal
production remained at a low ebb
today while miners and operators
awaited the War Labor Board deci-
sion on the new wage pact.
The Board scheduled a meeting
at II a. IN. TO vote approval or
rejection OF the contract nego-
tiated between Federal Mine Gus
todian Harold L. Ickes and United
Mine Workers President John l..
Lewis TO end the fourth wartime
strike.
There were no definite signs con-
corning the WLB's ultimate YER
dict. although some members were
said TO have expressed doubt as TO
whether the contract met require
ments OF the national wage stabili.
cation program. The l2-man
board discussed the agreement for
nearly six hours yesterday.
WLB approval OF the pact would
assure peace" and steady produc-
ton OF coal during the period OF
government operation OF the mines
which must continue until normal
production efficiency is restored.
Rejection OF the contract almost
certainly would bring an immediate
fifth general walkout and force a
last ditch showdown between
Lewis and the government to main
tain production OF wsr-vital coal.
The government thus far has avoid
ed general application OF penalties
~ the Smith Connally anti-strike
law in the coal case.
Additional miners were expected
to report back to their jobs TO-DAY,
although full scale production IS
unlikely before Monday.
Usually il a coal strike the work
ers are reluctant to go back to the
pits before the start OF new
week. The nation stands TO lose
nearly all OF the normal twelve
million tons OF coal production
this week.
Ickes and Lewis worked out the
new wage agreement Wednesday
and sent 1t the same day TO the
WLB for approval under Presi'
dent Roosevelt's order providing
for seizure OF the mines. The
agreement provides an extra 371s
cents beyond the basic daily wage
approved late last month by the
WLB.
