Rubber Pay Ruling

proval Of the new soft coal wage
agreement, ordered lunch-period pay
for rubber workers required to re-
main in a plant because it is the
prevailing practice in this in

WLB, however, denied a demand
of the CIO United Rubber Workers
for lunch-time pay for workers who
are free to leave the plant during a
regularly scheduled lunch period.
This request was turned down be-
cause it is not industry practice.
The agreement just signed by coal
operators and John L. Lewis United
Mine Workers provides for full por-
tal-to-portal pay. including a Is
minute lunch period for which the
miners are not remunerated in the
