Lugo, Fusignano and Cotignola
in the opening phase of their Of
fensive across the Senio River on
the eastern flank of the Italian
front, Allied headquarters an
nounced today.
Fall Of these towns represented
advances on front of at least 7
miles in the Eastern Po Valley,
astride the highway running from
Ravenna to Bologna. Lugo lies a
mile west of the Senio on the high
way. Bologna is some 30 airline
miles ahead.
"Our troops have preached enemy
defenses on the River Senio on a
broad 'front.'" an Allied communique
said.
5th Army Clears Massa.
In Western Italy, American troops
of the 5th Army cleared the enemy
from the road hub of Massa and
pushed on IN the direction of La
Spezia, major Italian naval base
a dozen miles away.
The 5th Army was advancing on
front 512 miles wide against stiff
resistance.
Massa was captured by the 442d
Infantry Regiment, composed of
Japanese American troops, and the
473d Regiment of the 92d Infantry
Division, Negro unit. Part of the
473d pushed across the Frigido
River
Units of the 442d cleared the viii

of Massa, and advanced toward the

Coal Contract Boosts

Final Draft Due Today
Agreement Reached as
U. S. Takes Over 235
Mines in 7 States
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

John L. Lewis has won a work
agreement from soft-coal opera
tors that will give his United
Mine Workers about $1.20 a day
more pay. Meanwhile, the Gov
ernment took over 235 strike
bound mines in seven States.
Details of the contract. agreed to
last night, several hours after Fed
eral seizure of the mines, were be-
ing worked over today with the
promise that the final draft would
be completed before nightfall A
review committee went over the
document this morning 1t will be
presented to an open town hall"
meeting of miners and operators
later.
WLB Approval Required.
The contract, however. would not
become effective until it has been
passed on by the War Labor Board
and Economic Sterilization Direc-
tor William H. Davis. Some Off
cials questioned whether the agree
ment could be approved under pres
ent stabilization policy.
Operators estimated the wage in
creases would raise the production
coast of coal nearly Is cents ton.
The producers said they would be
unable to pay the higher wages I'M
less a compenSating increase in coal
prices is given them. 1t was ex-
pected that the Office of Price Ad-
ministration will be asked to raise
coal prices to consumers 25 to 80
cents a ton, adding about S150,000,-
600 to the Nations fuel bill.
President Roosevelt ordered Sec
rerary of Interior Ickes to take over
the 235 struck mines after the pro-
duction of coal was reduced yester-
day from IS to 80 per cent of normal
by new work stoppages. The strikes
were concentrated in mines that
supply fuel for vital steel mills.
Production officials estimated 100000
tons of steel production week were
being lost as a result of the strikes.
Shortly before the seizure order
was issued, it appeared that optimis-
tic promises of agreement from the
wage conference at the Shoreham
Hotel once more would prove pre-
mature. The seizure, however, prod
ded the negotiators to agreement.
Vacation Pay Increased.

up the demand that had snagged
