Mine Owners Seek NLRB Court Action On Lewis
Mine owners present an almost solid front in asking the National Labor Relations Board to seek a court injunction against John L. Lewis to force the United Mine Workers back to a full work week and halt alleged unfair labor practices. President Truman, firm in not declaring a national emergency, has declined to use his injunction power. Denham may apply for a court injunction if he finds labor law is being violated. Charges of unfair labor practices are before Denham as he reviews appeals from operators and Lewis is to be consulted.
