Frameup Between UMW And Operators Charged
Washington July 9 A warning that coal operators face criminal penalties for signing John L. Lewis wage contract was voiced by Representative Hartley as Southern operators capitulated and signed. Hartley said the pact violates the Taft Hartley Act and cited collusion with the UMW. By day’s end most soft coal producers nationwide had signed with only a few percent remaining uncommitted. The Iron Age predicted steel price gains and miners hailed the deal despite concerns over rising living costs. Director Henry F. Warden announced Southern associations authorized a full close of Lewis terms while Lewis rejected a unit signing approach.
