Mine Union Faces Ban On Closed Shop
A national defense board recommends against installing the union shop in captive mines, a decision that could force Mine Workers led by John L. Lewis to choose sides. The mediation board’s split vote leaves the union shop in doubt while a three day strike by nearly 62,000 captive miners ended on a truce. In San Diego a large building trades strike and potential Navy involvement loom over the broader labor dispute.
