Naturalization by Default

+ looks AS if the United States government is in the coamning business for keeps at least on small scale few operators reportedy willing to sell out for far remuneration and let the government contnuets present control of their mines permanent basis.
 For the most part these operators are the owners of small bituminous mines the South. Their complaint Is that "hdden costs have increased miners wages by not ls, but 24 cents hour They they can't meet the increase and lowing out.
 Since the larger operators undoubtedly will be able to meet the increases there might to be for devoting attention to these few mines But the small oper ators decision offers material for some interesting pecua tion.
 It is foregone conclusion that when private business again takes over the mines will be terms at least as favorable John L. Lewis those contained his present contract with the government And seems proOaoe that Mir. Lewis planned things just as they worked out.
 He refused to discuss and hours with the opera tors. He demanded health and welfare fund nrst ou he did not first specify the whats and hows of such fund Then he walked the operators when they were unable to propose what he had in mind.
 Meanwhile the coal shortage being felt increasingly Finally the had to step in. as Mr. Lewis must have known it would And in spite of popular indignation there wasn't much the government could do except give to Mir. Lewis under threat of increasing national hardsnp than he might have received from the operators
 Somewhat the thing happened in the railroads ease The strike against government mediation ooara recommendation badly timed. 1t top of Mr. Lewiss strike adding inconvenience and unempoy ment and further rufng the pubcs short temper Never theess the brotherhoOds least made better money deal with the President himself than they had with the gov ernment board.
 It has been pretty we'll demonstrated by that unions in basic industries do business directly with the govern ent by calling strike which inerferes drasticay with the national that government intervention is the only solution And it has been pretty we'll demonstrated that these unions better deal from the government than they can from management,
 If such tactics should continue period of years with the unions getting better deal from the government after every strike it is unlikely that and more private industries would have to follow the lead of these few small mine operators.
 Tn other words naturalization of basic industries by default is entirely possible under the present set up And if government continues to try to hold down prices while periodically tipping the ante after seizure and direct negotiation the possibility becomes than pipe dream.
