u. S. Questioning Wage Contract

Washington, Apr 12-UP-Gov-
ernment agencies today began the
job of determining whether they
can approve the new soft coal wage
contract under the Administra-
tons stabilization program.
The initial responsibility fell to
the War Labor Board. But the
office OF Price Administration and
Economic Stabiiizer William II.
Davis also were involved because
coal operators will ask a price in
crease to compensate for wage
raises provided in the contract for
John l.. Lewis miners.
In the hope of preventing further
work stoppages in the soft coal
fields. the federal agencies hoped
to complete their task by April 80,
when the extended old contract fl
nally expires. The miners tradi-
tionally refuse to work without a
contract
A series of wildcat strikes during
the final phases Of the negotiations
led to government seizure of 22j
mines Tuesday Fuel Administra-
tor Harold l.. lckes was granted
blanket authority to take over any
others where production is inter
rupted- by strikes.
Hopes for averting general coal
strike appeared to rest on two fac
tors: GD Whether Lewis would
agree to another contract extension
il the new agreement isn't approx
ed by April 80. and (2) Whether he
would accept notifications if the
WLB and Davis decide some sec
tions of the new agreement con-
flict with stabilization policies.
Some quarters believed modifica-
tions were inevitable.
The contract was signed by the
operators and Lewis late yester-
day.
Lewis claims that none Of his rs

Mild Flu Epidemic
Raging In County

Reports from physicians and
nurses indicate that Montgomery
County is experiencing a moderate
ly severe epidemic of respiratory
infection. School attendance in
some areas is less than two-thirds.
Schools are not the focal points
Of the epidemic and no advantage
would be derived from closing
them. Epidemics Of this kind usual
ly last about three weeks accord
ing to the Montgomery County
Health Department.
Parents are asked to look their
children over carefully each morn
ing before sending them to school.
Sick children not only spread in-
lection to others but also cause
transportation problems in finding
ways to get home from school
during the day. 4
The attendance Of Richard Mont
gomery's teachers and students
has been reduced greatly by the
epidemic. The absentees reached
their peak during the middle of

and students were still depleted

is expected that great many will
be back by the end Of the week.
