That could set a precedent for regional settlements, and the 2,500 smaller coal companies would fall into line.

His next goal is to force Mitchell, R. Manning Brown Jr., chairman of New York Life Insurance Co., and E, Virgil Conway, chairman of the Seamen's Bank for Savings in New York, to quit the Stevens board. That may not force Stevens to sign a union contract quickly, but management is under financial as well as personal pressure. The boycott may be telling. Though Stevens' sales...
