Senate group denounces Lewis three day week action
The Senate banking committee sharply denounced John Lewis three day mine week and urged a study on applying antitrust laws to labor unions. The panel approved a 10 to 0 report accusing the United Mine Workers of usurping Congress on production and price controls and labeling the three day workweek antithesis of collective bargaining. Meanwhile walkouts by miners spread to three steel companies, leaving about 37,000 diggers idle in seven states as industry sources say a broad return to work before Monday is unlikely.
