Eighteen steel and coal companies refuse to sign the coal mining contract and file unfair labor practice charges against John L Lewis and the United Mine Workers. They contend a union shop clause is illegal without a National Labor Relations Board election. If upheld, a court order may block Lewis from enforcing the clause.
