Nearing 81 Billion
BY the Associated Press

The Governments budget surplus
for the dying fiscal year scared
today to a history making total Of
S8.471 1886 ,805. 10.
This is nearly $1,000 100000 more
than President Truman estimated
last January the surplus would be
when the fiscal year ends June 30.
His forecast then was $7,482 900 900.
The surplus-excess of income
over spending-is expected to drop
closer to the Presidents figure.
Heavy expenses fall due in the final
days of the fiscal year.
Treasury records covering the
period through June % showed that
the recent tax cut has as yet had
little effect on Government tax
collections.
Withholding tax collections, tCtal-
ing s61o,742 900 for Junes first
three weeks, were only $4,000, 900
below withholding collections In the
same period last year. 1t was nearly

Delegates Are Weary;
Hear Speeches From

PHILADELPHIA, June "a
Weary delegates to the Repub-
lican convention plodded Imply
out of Convention Hall when the
final gavel fell at 4:02 am. today
and headed back to their hotel
beds.
They had listened since $50
o'clock last night to steady pro-
ceSsion of Would-be President
makers striding to the platform to
dominate and second seven candi-
dates with adjectives and superla-
tives.
One by one the speech makers

tory or Il give you the next Presi-
dent of the United States"
Big Moment Long Awaited.
For days these nominating ora
tors had waited for their moment
in the glare of the convention lights
and when the moment came they
put their all into the eloquent
words they had penned, but most
of them must have realized as they
spoke that they were doomed to
disappointment.
Probably there have been rare
occasions in political history when
silver -tongued orator has sWayed
a doubtful convention at the last
moment.
But more often than not, the del
egates have argued out their dif-
ferences in State caucuses, far from
the cheering throng. Early in the
morning and late at night during
the first few days of the convention,
these State conferences go on in a
dozen or more hotels. There the
oratory is less fiowery. but more ef-
fective, and by the time the formal
nominating speeches are made,
nearly every delegate is wearing
a button, proclaiming the fact that
he has already cast his lot with
this or that contender.
Listen Attentively.
Attentively delegates listened while
each candidate was pictured as the
one best qualified to lead the Grand
Old Party back into the White
House. But as they listened nearly
every delegate already had tucked
under his chair the banner of
their choice, ready to raise 1t
high and join in the parade when
the candidates name at long last
was mentioned.

Lewis Winninq
Raise,
Double Royalty
Most Cool Operators
Ready to CopituIote;
Tentotive Pact Drown
By jones Y. Newton

John L. Lewis and soft coal
operators were near agreement
today on a new coal industry
contract which is understood to
provide for a $1-a-day increase
in miners wages and the dou-
bling of the royalty" OF the
United Mine Workers welfare
and retirement fund.
All segments of the coal industry
with exception of the captive" or
steel-company owned mines and
some of the Southern producers are
said to have agreed with Mr.. Lewis
on the new contract terms.
The operators were meeting with
Mr. Lewis at UNIV headquarters
this afternoon, working out final
details of the contract, which will
take effect July /. Harry M. Moses,
chief negotiator for the captive"
operators, did not attend the meet
ing and was described as holdout
in the agreement.
Most Southerners Agree.
The Southern Coal Producers As
sociation was represented at the
meeting with Mr. Lewis and most
of its members were reported to
have agreed to the basic contract
terms this morning. it was learned.
after several heated sessions OF as
sociation directors with their presi-
dent, Joseph E. Moody.
The prospect that the contract
will be completed before the day Is
over indicates that the much-feared
possibility of another Nationwide
coal strike after the present indus
try contract expires June so Will
be averted.
Only two major changes, 1t was
said, will be made in the new con-
tract. These are:
/. The $1-a-day wage boost which
increases the daily pay OF the
average miner to $l405.
2. The increase in the welfare
fund royalty from 10 cents per ton
on all coal produced to 20 cents,
which will provide about 500 900, 900
year for distress and disability
payments to miners and their
dependents, and for the much
disputed issue of pensions for the
mine workers.
"Able and willing Clause Stays.
The miners will continue to work
an 8-hour portal-to-portal day.
which includes paid lunch period
of a half hour.
The annual vacation payment of
SlOO remains the same as in the
present contract. and the clause
which states the miners will work
when able and willing" is also re-
tanned.
The operators had tried to drop
the able and willing" clause, while
Mr.. Lewis originally asked that the
total work day be reduced to seven
hour.
Under the new contract. the OPP
orators have agreed to accept as
final the decision of Justice T. Alan
Goldsborough on the matter OF 500
monthly pensions to miners and the
payment of distress and disability
benefits,
In other words the miners would
get the pension worked out by Sen
ator Bridges, Republican, OF New
Hampshire, the third and neutral
trustee of the welfare fund. They
would also get health and distress
benefits along the line Mr.. Lewis
has been giving them out under the
