telephone workers here. That
contract, too, was signed January
26, although substantial agree
ment was said to have been
reached earlier.
The size of the coal price in
creases was not told in advance.
Mr.. Di Sale said this matter was
under consideration.
Soft coal operators have esti-
mated the higher wages would add
about Is to so cents a ton to their
costs, depending on the grade Of
coal and the locality.

Price Director Michael v. Di-
Sale said new ceiling prices on
coal would be set today or to-
morrow and would probably re-
fleet increased costs to the op-
orators as a result of the wage
increase"
Thus, the Government eased the
tight wage freeze imposed on the
economy as of midnight January
Is. The soft coal contract calling
for an hourly wage increase of
20 cents was signed a week before
that but was not to take effect
until today.
The anthracite contract was
signed a day after the freeze dead
line and required special board
action for approval.
Officials estimated that a total
of about 500 contracts calling for
higher pay were caught in the
freeze and thus were cleared in
the same policy order which
allowed the coal agreement to
become effective.
This last-minute action by the
wage board, the operators said,
prevented an almost certain shut
down of the mines today. The
miners in many fields had served
notice that they would not work
in the absence of Government
approval of their new wage agree
ment.
Now at least one year of un-
interrupted coal production is
assured.

The nine member Wage Stabil-
ization Board was working today
on a general formula for wage
and salary control, but there was
doubt that its labor and industry
members could reach agreement
in the matter.
The formula will set a ceiling
on the size of pay increases to
be allowed since either January /,
1850, or just before the start OF
the Korean war. It was gen.
orally expected to be about 10
per cent-the national pattern OF
recent wage settlements. Workers
who have not received that much
in higher pay will be allowed to
get it. r.~sve
officials believed that whatever
formula is worked out, either the
three labor or industry members
are likely to dissent. The issue
may be settled by the three public
members on a 6-to-3 vote-the
way the board approved the coal
miners and other pay increases
yesterday.

Quebec Premier Laws
Collapse Of Bridge TO
'Subversive Elements
~ the Associated Press

THREE RIVERS, Quebec, Feb.
1.-Quebec Premier Maurice Du-
plessis charged last night that
sabotage by subversive elements
was responsible for the collapse
of So million .Duplessis highway
bridge. He announced govern
ment inquiry into the disaster.
Nearly half of the broad bridge
built in 1948 snapped in below
zero weather early yesterday
morning, plunging four persons to
an icy death.
Mr.. Duplessis, after whom the
bridge was named, told the Quebec
legislature a government inveSti-
cation, not necessarily public,
would begin soon.
Earlier Damage Debated.
The legislature debated On the
huge concrete and steel structure
a year ago, shortly after fissures
repeatedly were discovered in the
steelWork during extremely cold
weather.
At that time the nine-span
bridge, more than a third of a
mile long, was closed to heavy
traffic while the cracks were re-
paired.
Police have not discounted the
possibility that the death toll
might increase. They identified
the dead, recovered from car
wreckage in the icy st. Maurice
River, as:
Henri-Paul Gendron, 41-year-
old taxi driver; Maurice Beaumier, |
20, and Noel Doucet, 42, all resi-
dents of nearby Cap De La Made
leine, and Paul Fiset, Vile st.
Laurent, near Montreal.
Trapped in Cars.
The victims were caught in their
cars on the collapsing spans and
plunged to the ice-strewn river
The collapse came with a roar
and rumble described by witnesses
like that of an earthquake. Only
a few cars were crossing at the
time. Had the disaster occurred |
during the daytime when the
bridge normally is bustling with
heavy traffic, the death toll might
have been heavy. The bridge is
the main connecting link between
this industrial city and Quebec.

The flash occurred at SAB am,

a survey showed no radiation

said the entire area had been

ton had been found which con-
ceivably could produce damage to
humans, animals or water sup

If the unauthorized strikes

Gov. Edward F. Arm, Republi-

man "if he so desired could stop
it (the strike) within a few

Detroit Tuesday morning. Wash
ington Terminal officials first
learned that the strike had spread
here when switching crews began

strike were in Atlanta, St. Paul and
New York City. Earlier, in New
York, some trainmen on the Penn

vision had stayed away from work
apparently in sympathy with the
striking switchmen. Later, the

give up some of its national

Speaking to the European Con-

Belgian Foreign Minister Paul
Van Iceland clashed with Mr.. De

for British participation in a di-

Mr.. Van iceland deplored build
ing defense for "only one-fourth
of Europe" and called for an inter-
ministerial control of the army ac-
Iceptable to Britain. He opposed
a heavy, complicated superstruc-
ture" for the army similar to the
Schuman plan for pooling steel
and coal resources.
Mr.. Van iceland asserted that
the political authority over the
European army should be com
mittee of ministers" participating
with full powers from their gov
ernments.
Mr.. De Gasperi, who is also
Italy's Foreign Minister, said:
"The Italian nation, though
diminished in power by the war,
will be ready to agree to reason

sovereignty in unison with other
European nations"

This joint parliament, he con-

supported from the common mill
