Mine Owners Must Share Guilt in Labor Clash
Washington July 22 counsel for John L Lewis argued that if the new soft coal agreement violates the Taft Hartley act coal companies signing it are jointly guilty. Welly Hopkins for the United Mine Workers said captive mines equal participants with the union if illegal. He denied the contract’s union shop provision is illegal. The hearing centers on charges of an illegal union shop clause in a July 13 contract with steel industry mines. The case tests the union shop under Taft Hartley and the NLRB proceedings.
