quest of the British govern

Word from London was that
the prince wanted “nothing
heavy,” something that would
entertain him and inform him
about the South.
Stars of the show include na
tive Atlantans Gladys Knight
and the Pips.
“It’s a very contemporary
way of introducing the South to
Prince Charles,” said Michael
Ixtmax, city commissioner, at a
news conference announcing
the show.
“The arts in Atlanta are one
of our city’s major assets and it
is only fitting that we salute the
Prince with royal style en
tertainment in Atlanta’s on own
architectural palace,” Lomax
said.
The show will include South
ern vaudevillian songs such as
“Basih Street” and“ Sweet
Georgia Brown,” a multiscreen
slide show on the sights and
sounds of Atlanta, and instruc
tion on how to speak and dress
as Southerners do.

Coal contract
talks under way
WASHINGTON (AP) - Coal
contract talks are beginning
with labor and management
seeking a formula for ending
wildcat strikes that have
crippled eastern coal produc
tion and weakened the United
Mine Workers Union.
An industry-wide strike is
likely when the union’s current
three-year contract with the
Bituminous Coal Operators As
sociation expires Dec. 6. But it
is expected to be brief.
Fear of a long and crippling
shutdown has diminished in re
cent weeks and government of
ficials believe a short strike by
the union’s 170,000 working
members would have little im
pact on the nation’s energy
needs this winter.
UMW President Arnold Miller
and chief industry negotiator
Joseph Brennan were expected
to present brief statements out
lining their general bargaining
goals at today's opening ses
sion, expected to be largely
ceremonial. Hard bargaining
isn’t expected for several
weeks.
The major issue in the nego
tiations is expected to be the
wildcat strikes that have pla
gued the industry since the last
contract was signed in Decem
ber 1974. The strikes have
meant lost production and a
depletion of employer-financed
health and benefit funds for the
miners.
Both sides are looking for a
way to prevent the illegal
strikes, which Brennan calls
“industrial anarchy."
The last of the walkouts was a
10-week strike last summer. It
was triggered by a sharp cut
back in medical care benefits
available to miners and their
dependents through the UMW
Health and Retirement Funds.
The funds, which are sup
ported by royalties based on a
combination of coal produced
and hours worked, were drained
by rising medical costs and a
series of wildcat strikes earlier
in the year.
Miller is demanding full res
toration of benefits and im
provements in the system for
financing the funds. But the coal
operators are expected to tie
this issue to the strike problem.
Brennan has indicated that
the industry will attempt to de
vise an incentive system for
paying health and pension ben
efits based on the amount of
time an individual works.
