NEW YORK. April 2-—(AP) -- A vast one-day shutdown in the Unit- cd States soft coal industry in- volving 460,000 miners ended late today when a. compromise wage in- crease agreement was reached be- tween the United Mine Workers of America and mine operators-

The miners won their demand for wage increases, obtaining principal- ly a pay basis oi $8 a day and time- and-a-half for overtime.
