traffic n the city's history and
predicted that Illinois and Indiana
would have SO fatalities and 2,0l4
injured on the highways. The club
said an improvement OF about 10
per cent in the accident rate since
1941 has been more than offset
by increased motor travel, ex-
pected to exceed the 1916 all-tlme
high by 80 per cent during the

two cars in the Chicago area,
about $50, 600, will take to the

of the settlement terms was made
pending formal drafting Of the
contract, it was revealed that the
Northern operators had accepted
these. provisions to ~forestall a
strike set for next Tuesday.
Wages: A IS cent hourly raise,
lifting the pay scale to $500 for
an eight-hour day. including a 30
minute paid lunch period, 6 1-2
hours at the mine face, and one
hour travelling time.
Under the federal contract
which had ruled mine scales from
May, 1916, until the government
returned the mines to their pri-
vate owners last Monday, the
miners received $11.85 for a nine
hour day, which included a IS
minute lunch period and an hours
travel time.
Safety The federal mine scale,
for which Lewis had been clamor-
ing as the answer to mine acct
dents will be adopted in the mines
covered by the agreements, SUBJ
ject to review and revision.
Supervisory employees: The
mine operators agreed to screen
out" employees now listed as SUI
pervisors to permit an increased
number Of men to come under
UNIV jurisdiction.
Vacations Continued
Vacations: The $500 annual Va
cation pay provided in the old
contract will be continued.
On the thorny question of Lew
is welfare and health fund, it was
understood that the operators had
agreed to continue paying into the
fund at least the present '.royal-
ty" of five cents a ton, and prob
ably Z IL cents. Lewis had aksed
for a 10-cent contribution.
Under the new Taft-Hartley law,
however, the fund must be ad-
ministered jointly by the union
and management, instead of by
the UNIV as at present.
Some Northern and Western op-
orators failed to join in the tenta-
tive settlement, but it appeared
probable that they would follow
the lead OF the major producers.
The joint statement issued by
Lewis and the settling operators
said merely that:
"Negotiators for Northern COM
merical coal operators and the
captive mines together with the
representatives OF the United
Mine Workers announce that an
agreement in principle has been
reached subject to being reduced
to terms of a written contract and
subject to ratification Of the par
ties"

A few minutes later. the burly
UNIV president told reporters he
had summoned his 20O-man policy

He refused to say whether the
agreement would become effective
before the miners vacation ends

TRUCK ROUTING
BEFORE COUNCIL
Establishment OF Around
The City Route
Is Revived

Members OF the city council, to-
getner with the engineering and
legal departments and the city
manager, will meet in special ses-
sion, probably next week, to iron
out a proposal for the establish
ment of a ''round-the-city truck
route"
The decision to hold such a
meeting was made at yesterdays
weekly council session after con-
siderable discussion on the mat
ter had been instituted by ]. E. L.
WADE, presiding in the absence OF
Mayor e. L. White.
The motion 10 hold a special
session included a provision that
it be conducted upon tie return
OF Mayor White. He is expected
back in. the city after the Fourth
Of July weekend.
The proposal for the establish
ment Of such a route originally
was brought before the council
several months ago at which time
the city manager was authorized
to 90 ahead with the plans.
Yesterdays meeting brought
forth the first concrete announce
ment thai had been done on the
matter. The announcement came
from City Manager j. B. Benson,
who exhibited to the council maps
Of various proposed routes and an
aerial view OF the city that can
be used in designating such routes.
The matter got under way yes
terday win a demand from Wade
that Il want some action after he
explained that persons had COM
planned to him over delays in the
proposal.
The motion 10 hold a special
council meeting, came from Ri
chard Burnett and was seconded
by Ronald Lane.
Wade presented what he said
he believed would be an accept
able tentative route for trucks to
take in avoiding running through
the center of the city.
His route was southwark to the
east of Oleander, through the At
lantic Coast Line roads and over
county property to highway III
and then using the old highway
from Smiths creek to Ninth and
Nixon stress and then to the
bridge.
Benson declared that really there
was mo such a thing as a round
the.town route" Rather, he add
ed, it would be "a round the
downtown route" Benson esti-
mated that the actual cost of es-
tablishing a complete ''round-the-
town route would be $4,000.
Wade asserted that it is neces-
sary to establish a route that would
take trucks away from the center
of the ely 'fbefore we wake up
some morning TO find a fire or an
explosion in the business district"
That opposition will develop from
certain -ections of the city or
nearby communities through which
such a route would be established
was the observation Of Benson. Al

Burnet Creek area are in oppoSi-
