Mr.. Lewis Wins

With the United States at war, the
arbitration decision awarding the
union shop to the United Mine Work
ers In the captive coal mines will
receive far less attention than other
wise would have been the case. And
perhaps it is just as we'll that this
is so.
The record in this controversy has
been a disgraceful one. John L.
Lewis, with 95 per cent of the miners
already belonging to his union, has
succeeded now in bringing about the
compulsory unionization of the $500
men who did not belong This was
accomplished by calling three strikes
which threatened to deprive the Ma
ton of steel at a time when its
security was gravely menaced. To
state it bluntly. Mr.. Lewis and those
who stood with him put the United
States in jeopardy in order to force
$500 miners to become union
members.
OF the arbitration boards decision,
there is not much to be said. The
board divided. Chairman John R.
Steelman and Mr. Lewis being in the
majority, with Benjamin Fairless,
president of the United States Steel
Corporation, dissenting. The decid-
ing vote, of course, was cast by
Doctor Steelman, who took leave of
absence from his post as director Of
the United States Cancellation Serv-
ice to sit on the board. Doctor Steel
man made it clear that he saw no
reason why the minority in this case
should not be compelled to join the
union, and If that premise be &C
cepted there can be no criticism of
the ruling he based on it. But there
will be many to reject the premise
outright. And this contrary view,
wholly aside from the resentment
aroused by the tactics employed by
Mr.. Lewis, stems from the firm belief
that no American should be COM
PEELED to join any union in order to
hold his job. 1t may be true, as Doc
tor Steelman suggested, that the
compulsory unionization OF the nom
union miners will "serve the national
emergency by contributing to unity
