New Coal Strike Hint From Lewis Averts Contract Crisis
John L. Lewis warned soft coal operators that a new strike may come if welfare aid for distressed miners is not guaranteed before the current pact expires. Talks ordered by a federal court lasted two hours with no progress as Lewis demanded nearly 20 million dollars in welfare commitments from the 1946 fund, now nearly exhausted. Operator spokesman Charles O Neill said the demand blocked progress and that wages proposals were not yet ready. The National Coal Association criticized Lewis for claims of coercion and defended the Taft Hartley framework.
