Packers Seek Court Action If Mine Shutdown Persists
Soft coal mine owners gave John L. Lewis a three day ultimatum to end the walkout or face court action over pensions. About 77 percent of the nation's 400,000 miners were idle with output down sharply. Ezra Van Horn, spokesman for the operators, said Lewis's $100 monthly pension proposal for men over 60 with 20 years’ service violates the Taft-Hartley act. A court-appointed impartial umpire was urged to resolve pension disputes. The three trustees of the health and welfare fund include Lewis and Van Horn, who remain at odds over coverage. The government summoned both sides to a conference to halt the strike.
