Major concessions won by the
miners in the new contract include
an hourly wage increase of nearly As
cents; an eight hour day; welfare
fund supported by a levy on all coal
of 10 cents per ton; acceptance by
the operators of the Federal Mine
Safety Code with Federal mine in
spectors having a say as to what
should be done to make the pits
safe: numerous safeguards from
penalties imposed on unions by the
new Hartley labor law.
The contract gives the union,
and the operators, too, the right to
reopen the one-year contract on
80 days notice. That is contrary
to the Taft-Hartley Act which pro-

Coal Output Up as Miners
Return to Northern Pits

PITTSBURGH, July 9 (P).-Coal
production spurted today with thou
sands of bituminous miners return

Many other thousands remained
away from the mines, pending local
meetings to rstify the new contract.
Some States reported high absentee
ism also was holding down produc-
ton. In addition. a large number
of Southern mines still were idle,
since operators accounting for about
20 per cent of normal production
still had not reached agreement
with the union on contract terms.

when the Southern operators split

Union officials said most of the
mines of the operators who had
signed the new contract would be
working today and that by tomorrow
production in those mines would be
100 per cent.
Left optional in the contract was
the question of whether a sixth day
in each week would be worked. This
will be up to the miners and opera
tors of individual mines. Indications
were that many of the mines with
more orders than they have been
able to fill will work six days, there

InvestigateC Charges Against Albania
By John A. Paris. Jr.O

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., CP)-h three-man subcommittee of the United Nations Security Council began sitting evidence behind closed doors today on Britain's charges that Albania committed "a crime against humanity" by sowing mines in Corfu channel
 As representatives of Poland, Australia and Colombia took up their tasks, Great Britain prepared 10 intensity her battle to force d decision in the council on the long hanging mine-laying complaint against Albania.
 Sir Alexander Cadogan. British delegate to the Council, will ap- pear before the subcommittee to elaborate and clarify London's complaint. British sources said he would attempt to block any move to detour the case to the interna- tlOnaI court of justice without a prior council finding against the Tirana government.
 It was believed that Cadogan would go before the sub-commit- tee Wednesday, since the three man board will require two days t0 check over present evidence.
 Hysni KapO, Albanian represen- tative, also is expected to appear before the subcommittee.
