44,000 Strike For
Union Shop In
Captive Mines
BULLETIN

WASHINGTON. Sept. 81. -
Acting on the recommendation
Of the National Defense Med
iation Board. $4,000 UNIV
miners returned TO their work
in captive mines while the
mediation hoard attempts 20
settle the dispute between the
United Mine Workers and OPP
orators Of the steel company
owned mines.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 24-No
reason exists for "affording the
steel companies any different
form OF agreement than has been
given to all the rest of the coal
industry" John L. Lewis. president
OF the United Mine Workers of
America. said here in describing
the strike of 1900 UNIV members
in the captive mines OF U. S.
Steel and other steel firms.
The strike was caused by the
refusal Of the steel concerns to
concede the union shop as contain
ed in the agreement signed by the
union with all other coal produc-
ers. Lewis explained. adding that
negotiations had been going on
since July 5.
This refusal. Lewis made
clear, originated with 4. =.
steel. which employs 1880 Of
the miners on strike. and was
the reason why other steel
companies hesitated 10 sign
the agreement that governs
all the commercial mines in
the country.
THE steel companies have ad-
duced no reason why they should
receive special treatment" he said.
except their own disinclination to
sign the commercial agreement.
The issue is whether U. s. Steel
will conform to the ordinary rela-
tionships Of the rest Of the indus
try"
The situation has great po,cn-
tialities," Lewis said. pointing to
a clause in the commercial agree
ment that allows the UMWA to
withdraw its members from the
mines in the event it becomes nee.
essary to protect the integrity Of
the contract. The UMWA "hopes
to confine the dispute to It's present
limits" he added.
