Lewis orders new strike amid Taft-Hartley rift and contract woes
UMW Chief George Lewis orders a possible July strike as the current coal contract nears expiry on June 30. Talks with southern producers in Bluefield broke up, while separate talks with U S Steel mines in Philadelphia begin next Monday. Disputes center on welfare fund funding, royalty levels, and the contract’s union shop and work clauses. The season’s output is uncertain as miners begin vacations later this month.
