Government UMW contract split and Supreme Court ruling
The dispute split northern and southern operators over a revised Government UMW contract. The south balked at a five cent per ton welfare royalty Lewis negotiated with the Government. The Supreme Court on March 6 ruled in the Lewis UMW contempt case that relations are those of government employer and employee for this case, leaving open broader classification questions. The NLRB found miners not government employees for bargaining, dismissing petitions by Ford Collieries and Buckeye Coal.
