The move back to the pits
came as board members of the
Bituminous Coal Operators
Association (BCOA) met here
to ratify a contract agreed
upon Sunday with the United
Mine Workers Union (UMW).
in UMW District 29 --the
Beckley area of West Virginia
— union officers said nearly 106
per cent of the 6,000 work force
wap working. Another 6,500 in
district 31 went back. At least
6,000 remained off the job in
West Virginie.
By mid-morning, an estimat-
ed 31,000 workers in Pennsylva-
nia, Kentucky, West1 Virginia,
Ohio, Illinois and Alabama
were still off the job.
In the rich western Pennsyl-
vania coal fields all but 18 of
the 6,000 miners shunned a
union back-to-work directive
and adopted a wait-and-see
attitude.
The biggest return to work
this morning was at the Hanna
Cogl Co. Franklin Mine near
Cadiz. Ohio, where ebout 900
miners were back on the job.
Although terms of the con-
1 tract agreement were net
announced, there were reporta
the pact eliminates restrictions
on the use of outside contrac-
tors by the producers and
provides certain skilled UMW
members with an Immediate
wage increase of $1.32 a day

Union officials said miners in

return to the pits today.

Open Your Doors And Your Heart
The late President John F. Kennedy, speaking
of the Crusade against Cancer, said: ”1 . . . hope
that you will open your doors and your hearts to the
two million volunteers in this great drive who will
be calling on you.”
President Kennedy spoke from profound and
deeply felt compassion for people stricken with dis-
ease.
vur rum Lady, Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson, who
has carried the American Cancer Society's life-sav-
ing message from door to door herself, has said with
equal meaning. "All together, volunteers, the govern-
ment, physicians and scientists, we are united in our
effort to conquer cancer . . . welcome your neigh-
bor when she calls for the Cancer Crusade.”
Tuesday night a neighbor will visit you — a
volunteer in the American Cancer Society'* educat-
ional and fund raising Crusade..
The volunteer will come to your door with two
vital messages: 1) How to, best protect your life
from cancer; 2) An appeal for much-needed funds.
The Society seeks these funds not only to carry on
at present levels but to enlarge its research, educa-
tion and service programs and give us more effec-
tive contrql over cancer.
The cancer problem is big, it involves all of us.
Cancer is impartial when it attacks. But the cancer
problem is not at all as gloomy as it was a few years
ago. Modem science and education have made great
inroads on the disease. There are 1,400,000 Ameri-
cans alive today, cured of cancer. A quarter of a cen-
tury ago . there were only 260,000.
Twenty years ago only one out of four stricken
with the disease was saved. Now it is one out of
three. It could be one out of two, that is, if all of us
exercised necessary precautions. This is why educat-
ion is so important — people must know the facts
and be persuaded to act in time. Action requires a
health checkup by a physician every year and being
constantly on the alert to cancer’s seven danger sig-
nals.
Research is most important. The lives of half
of those who develop cancer depend on further re-
search- The American Cancer Society needs more
research funds to support more of the projects rec-
ommended by the distinguished scientists who are
on its Research Advisory Council.
So when an American Cancer volunteer calls,
"open your doors and your hearts'’ and your minds.
