Observations
Railroads, Coal
Next Targets For
Labor Strategy
By HELEN ESsARY
By HELEN EssARY

Next big developments on the al
ready turbulent labor front will
come in the railroad and coal indus
tries.
The rail brotherhoods for some
time have been pressing their wage
demands in Chicago at conferences
with the carriers. They are seek
ing a S250-a-day pay boost plus I'M
proved working conditions.
However. the Chicago parleys
have gotten nowhere and the next
step probably will be TO turn the
dispute over TO the Railway Media
ton Board. II the board falls. a
strike notice will be fled by the
unions.
John L. Lewis coal contract does
not expire until spring. but the min
ers chief may start the ball roll.
ing earlier He has a reopening
clause in the mine agreement and
may exercise this right after he
sees what the clio and AFL unions
get out OF their current wage bat
ties.
THERE is LITTLE PROSPECT
that Congress will pass labor dis
putes legislation in the immediate
future. Legislation will not be
passed at all without a hard fought
battle
Strong opposition faces Presi-
dent Truman's fact-hnding bill from
both management and labor. La
Dor insists that II would hamstriug
the privilege TO strike while man
agement contends that II vousd
nullify its control over costs and
destroy its power OF direction over
properties.
Both viewpoints are due 10 be
aired at length during hearings
being held by the Senate Educa-
ton AMI Labor Committee and dur
ing the hearings scheduled by the
House Labor Committee on the
legislation.
II is possible that the rising tide
OF strikes will spur Congress into
passing some kind OF legislation IN
the next few weeks. But without
this prodding influence, legislation
could not be expected for months
And there is practically no chance
that the Presidents bill will be
enacted without substantial modin-
cation.

Meanwhile, however, Rep. Andrew

predicts that, barring unforeseen
developments. his group will report
out universal training legislation
this month.
'I don't know that the bill will
be just what the President request

he said.
The committee has been holding
hearings on universal training
since Nov. s. when II heard Gen.

preme Allied commander in Eu-
