ing for travel time.
The agreement, subject to appro-
val of the War Labor Board and an
increase In the ceiling price Of coal,
provides an entirely new basis for
calculating the work day in btu
n1irouS mines.
The work day for underground
men will be Is hours, including all
time required in travelling from the

The wage rate will be at straight
time for the first 40 hours of the
week and time and one half there

This would mean increased earn
lngs OF Approximately SIS for the 35th
