Storm May Bring Teft Hartley Action On Coal Strike
Washington January 17. Government officials say a major blizzard could push President Truman to seek a Taft Hartley Act injunction against John L. Lewis and his three day work week. They note coal supplies are already low and the Justice Department may be ordered to compel 1.4 million soft coal miners to work five days. Some 68,000 miners are in a full scale wildcat strike despite Lewis urging a return to work. The issue hinges on whether the three day week is an unfair labor practice per Denham of the National Labor Relations Board.
