disastrous, preventable explosion
at Centralia, Ill, the stoppage
was provoked by a contemptuous

traitor N. H. Collision to UNIV
Pres. John L. Lewis April 5, in
which Collision suggested the
union was at fault for the presence
of any miner in dangerous pit.
Lewis had written Collision.
who is in charge of government
operated bituminous mines under
Interior Sec. j. A. Krug, stating
the union position that any mine
violating the federal mine safety
code was an unsafe working place.
COLLISIONS answer said "the
rule of reason would determine
which mines would reopen after
the Holy Week memorial, and
that he did not intend to close
all mines violating the federal
safety code.
Il have carefully consid-
cred your request and am un-
able to agree that I should
follow the arbitrary procedure
of closing down the entire
soft coal industry when the
Krug-Lewis agreement itself
provides a means by which
the union may guard against
working in unsafe mines" Col
isson wrote.
He referred to code Sec. 2 CD,
under which the local union mine
safety committee may withdraw
the men from mine they classify
as in imminent danger" He al
so leaned on Lewis testimony
before the House labor committee
two days earlier, where Lewis
said only two mines in the U. S.
were found completely in accord
ance with the federal code, but
that he did not intend to close all
mines but those two.
COLLISION said he would al
low all mines to work where local
committees found no imminent
danger, and would reopen those
of the 518 mines closed April
which satisfied a federal bureau
of mines inspection.
Lewis letter to COLLISION, an
swering the administrators re-
quest for list of unsafe mines,
suggested that you order closed
forthwith all of the bituminous
coal mines found to be in violation
of the federal mine safety code.
The UNIV asserts that no
coal mine is safe which is
operating in violation of the
code that the Sec. of Interior
has called reasonable code
of standards and rules per-
tanning to safety conditions
and practices in the coal mines
of the U. S."
