Hearings on the Wagner Murray

resumedthis week before the senate
Education and Labor committeeman
lust about the most unique testimony
came from Alfred Baker Lewis. noted
liberal businessman who heads the
Union Casualty company.
Lewis declared that passage of the
bill would put my company out of
business" since it writes group acct
dent and health insurance for union
members.
'Nonetheless. | am in favor of it,"
he testified. for | am impressed by
the great need for this form of social
security"
Because congress has failed to act
on the measure. unions are fighting
for the same objective through col
leciive bargaining, Lewis said.
Scores of unions have already won
health insurance through their own
economic strength. and in most such
instances the employers pay the ell
tire cost. usually 9 to 3 per cent If
their payrolls. Lewis pointed out.
In some instances. unions have had
to strike to win that goal, Lewis said.
AS an example, he cited the p~rotrac;ed
stoppage in the bituminous coal mines,
which ended with the United MiEe
Workers securing a Health and Wei
fare fund financed by a royalty on
coal.
If the Health Insurance" bill isn't
passed, Lewis predicted, there Will be
many more strikes over that issue
particularly since employer opposi-
ton to such demand is growing. Dur
ing the war. he said. employers
showed less resistance to health in
