Though American bauxite reserves are limited, there is an abundance of other clays and ores from which aluminum could be produced-at increased cost. Rising foreign prices would also make it worthwhile to dig out less accessible mineral deposits and thus open up large new reserves of chromium, copper, iron ore and other materials. Proven American reserves of lead total 36 million tons, easily enough to last through this century-and probably a lot longer-because so much lead is recycled. In addition...

Already, however, union members are insisting that the guaranteed wage boost of 3% annually included in that agreement must be sharply increased. The miners, led by Arnold Miller, who will be negotiating his first contract as president, are determined to dig a lot more money and benefits out of the Bituminous Coal Operators when their present pact expires in November. The operators are equally determined to hold the line. In 1971, Joseph Beirne, president of the Communications Workers, settled for a contract that enraged many of his union's members...
