BETWEEN RQMANCOKE AND CLAIBORNE

The Claiborne Annapolis Ferry Company
Annapolis, MAviand n. y,
Evening star., 1941-11-14

was that charges OF that nature are
hard to prove.
In this connection, the independ-
ent says the U. NJ w. will not risk
a representation election under the
Wagner Act because it lacks the
necessary majority. At the same
time, however. the spokesman from
whom this information came voiced
doubt that the U. M. w. could Or
ganize Gary entirely, even though
it obtained bargaining rights be-
cause of distaste of the union.
The U. M. w. says its strength in
Gary made it possible to close down
when Mr.. Lewis called the captive
strike. The independent counters
with the assertion that two mines
worked for a day, and then closed
when the workmen failed to get
police protection against strikers. If
the Army comes in, according to the
independent, the mines will stay open
without trouble. The U. M. w.
Evening star., 1941-11-14

agrees that there will be no trouble,
but spokesmen say that is because
nobody will turn out to work with
out Army protection. 1t is agreed
that a strike will bring a shutdown.
Would Test Theories.
Under the circumstances 1t is
evident that strike call. If the
Army comes in, will test these op-
posing theories, or at least demon
strate the respective strength of
the two factions. Otherwise, it
seems that a decision will be de-
ferred. If Gary and Lynch are
shown definitely to be in line. the
position of the mine workers logi-
cally would be helped. BY the same
reasoning, a defeat would hurt.
AS has been said, the argument
in the captive mines revolves around
the question of union shop. Every
body pays the Appalachian scale,
and U. M. w. sources taking credit
for this say that coal diggers are

palachian fields the operators OBJ
tained what might be called most
favored nation" clause in the con-
tracts under which the same terms
would apply to everybody. Now. the
question is asked, what happens to
commercial contracts signed under
such conditions if the union is
unable to force the steel companies
to meet the same requirements for
their mines?
Warfare Not New.
Industrial warfare is not new IN
Mcdowell, despite the energetic ef-
forts OF the U. M. w. extending over
many years. Operators with the
aid Of private police, according to
those who watched the shifting
scene, successfully resisted unioniza-
ton until the advent of the New
Deal. Now the union is strong, al
lowing for possible defectfons, and
It may be significant that a tradl-
kional Republican section which
went to Roosevelt in 1882 is staying
under the Democratic banner, even
holding firm in 1910 when Mr.. Lewis
bolted to Wendell L. Willkie. Con-
currently, the c. I. o. has organized
other groups in the area.
The principal holdouts IN coal
have been United States Steel, the
Allied Chemical Co.. which has 900
captive miners at Hemphill, and the
Carter Coal Co., which beat the first
Guffy Coal Act, operating four COM
mercial mines with approximately
1900 men. The Carter mines, incl
dentally, were closed when the cap
tives shut down in September and
October, union spokesmen saying
that their organization is 100 per
cent IN these.
In common with other companies

permit the road to be straightened
Another private endeavor of recent
years of Gary was a bank which
closed in 1929. and the only current
project is a rough county road which
winds up the mountainside to dizzy
heights to one of the country clubs
maintained for employees by the cor
poration.
This club is used more by picnic
and hunting parties than anyone
else and membership is 81 annually.
A more swanky layout on another
mountain has nine-hole golf course
and swimming pool, and the tariff
is SIS.

Gary is openly paternalistic, with
United States Steel watching out for
the workers from maternity ward to
graveyard. The one rugged individ-
ualist in the community of about
10000 persons is A. N. Harris, who
runs a department store on the curve
of the road into Gary, and not only
won't sell his business but refuses,

United States Steel for years re-
fused to bargain with their en-
ployes; eventually adopted So
called company representation

five years ago by the Independent
Associated Miners Union, Inc. The
U. M. w. insists, of course. that that

spokesmen for that group repudiate

Each Claims Majority.
The U. M. w. contends that it has

the contrary, claims 4,l00 members.
