want to be in the position of giving
in easily to John L. Lewis demands.
Mr.. Lewis won one of the best
contracts he has received in years
from the coal operators, an agree
ment which was worked out in lit
tie more than 40 hours Of actual
bargaining here. The finishing
touches were put to the agreement,
which takes effect July 1, at a Stat
ler Hotel conference yesterday after
noon
Thus the basic coal industry seems
assured of another year Of peace.
1t was the first time since 1941 that
Mr.. Lewis and the operators had
reached an agreement without L
strike or Government intervention.
There were only two major
changes made in the contract under
which the mining industry is op-
Grating. These provided an increase
of 81 per day, boosting to $l4.05
the daily wages of the average miner
and the doubling of the royalty"
which support the UNIV welfare and
retirement fund. The operators
agreed to pay into the fund 20 cents
per ton on all coal produced which
will bring in an estimated $780,
100000 annually.
Howard D. Gibbs, executive direc-
tor of the Pittsburgh Retail Coal
Association, estimated that the new
pact will boost retail coal prices IS
cents to 81 a ton. Other estimates
placed the price jump at about 40
cents.
Hits Union Shop Provision.
The steel industry, producers OF
about 60,000,000 tons of coal per
year, or 10 per cent of the national
total, baked at signing the coal
contract at the last minute.
Harry M. Moses, head of United
States Steel coal and coke subsidi-
aries and negotiator for all of the
captive" steel company owned
mines, said he refused to sign the
contract because it violated the
Taft Hartley Act.
He pointed out that the new con-
tract retained the union-shop pro-
vision of the present agreement.
The labor relations law makes the
union shop illegal unless a major
ity of the employees in particular
industry vote for it in a special
election conducted by the National
Labor Relations Board. However.
the NLRB cannot initiate COM
plants and Mr. Lewis union-snop
clause will not be questioned unless
some mine worker or employer
brings a charge against the union.
THE Taft-Hartley Act expressly
states" Mr.. Moses said in state
ment, that it shall be an unfair
labor practice for an employer TO

Israel Plans 10 Push
Convoy Through After
u. N. Gives Approval
Suitable Action Ordered
Against Eeyptions Who
Halted Supply Unit
By the Assoeioted Press

CAIRO, June 26.-The Israeli
government, given the United
Nations green light to push a
convoy through Egyptian resist
ance, says it has told its gen.
eral staff to take suitable" ac-
ton.
Its announcement was made in
Tel Aviv last night after U. N.
spokesman and Jewish leaders
said the Egyptians early yesterday
stopped a Jewish supply convoy
bound for Negeb Desert settlements
in Southern Palestine and shot at
a white U. N. truce mission plane
piloted by an American.
Given Freedom to Act.
The communique said the Israeli
government viii take action in a
manner and at a time and place
which it's general staff will deem
suitable" Jewish authorities were
told by the U. N. truce mission yes
terday they were free to act as
they thought fit" In the matter.
Egyptian Premier Nah m u
FANNY Nokrashy Pasfa told news
men in Cairo last night that his
government will reply today to pro-
tests on both incidents submitted
by Count Folke Bernadotte, u N.
mediator.
Mr.. Nokrashy Pasha said an
Egyptian pilot fired on the U. N.
aircraft because "he suspected it
was an enemy plane"
An Israeli army communique said
Egyptian troops attacked the iso-
lated Jewish town of Kfar Darom
in Southern Palestine during the
night with small l-arms fire. No de-
tails we're given.
Kfar Darom is in the coastal
strip assigned to the Arabs under
the United Nations petition plan
and is near the Egyptian base in
the GAIA area.
Reports Held Erroneous.
OF the convoy stoppage, the
Egyptian Premier declared THE
Egyptian government never thought
this would be construed as a viola
ton of the truce"
The Israel government said last
night its earlier reports that
Egyptian Spitfires had bombed the
Jewish settlements of Beer Tuvya
and Kefar Warburg yesterday were
erroneous.
Jewish Army headquarters in
Haifa said about the same time that
Jews had clashed with Arab units
at Ell BirWa, inflicting 100 casualties.
Fighting has been going on for two
days in the village, Z miles east Of
Haifa. U. N. truce observers are
investigating.
The pilot of the strafed U. N.
plane was 1t. Col. M. L. Martin of
Bluefield, w. Va.
Mr.. Nokrashy Pasha asserted the
plane had been flying at 500 feet,
while it had been agreed that U. N.
aircraft would not fly over Egyptian
territory at less than 1000 feet. This
aroused the Egyptian pilots sus-
picionS, he said.
A U. NJ spokesman in Tel Aviv
said the plane was shot at while
about to land.
The Premier said of the convoy
protest:
Egyptian authorities informed
truce officials in the evening of June
% that they did not agree to grant,
ing the convoy permission to pass
through. The Egyptian government
never thought this would be con-
strued as a violation of the truce

the Palestine situation:

Tel Aviv said 72 men had been re-
