Lewis Rdps Appointment
OF Boyd As Mine Chief

Washington, d. C.-Appointment
of James Boyd to head the Bureau
of Mines was "a political DEAL"
and the Government should have
consulted "the men who are going
To die in the mines" before naming
Boyd TO be in charge Of their
safety.
This sums up the statement Of
John l.. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers (AFL) in
an appearance before the Senate
Public Lands Subcommittee in
protesting President Truman's APP
pointment of Boyd, AZ, an Aus
trian-born professor.
Mr.. Lewis declared bluntly that
the appointment will embtter the
miners.
eve resent the fact that the
Department Of Interior plucked
him out Of obscurity without ask
ing the men who are going to die
in the mines if they are satisfied"
he said.
"The miners resent it from the
bottoms Of their hearts"
Emphasizing the precarious
lives Of the men who work far un-
derground, Mr.. Lewis went on to
testify that "statisticaIly, in six
years every man in the coal min
ing industry is either killed or in
jured"
Many coal mining states, he
said, actually spend more money
for the protection Of wild life than
to protect the miners lives.
Mr.. Lewis said that from 1912
to 1915 there were 6,224 fatalities
out of 322, ,637 casualties in the ma

Federation Of Transport Workers,
with which the Dutch union is af-
filiated Mr.. Dorchain will spend
the money here and arrange for
shipment of his purchases. The
three-year interest-free loan has
been endorsed by the Netherlands
Government.
Addressing the group, DR.. Lou
don said he did not feel armed
warfare was imminent. "But," he
added, 81 do believe we are in the
midst of an theological contest"
Before a durable peace can be
fashioned, he held, "we must find
a new approach to the matter of
international law"
DR.. Loudon suggested that the
primary basis should be 'the
rights of man-human dignity"

tion's coal mines. Since 1912, he
said, coal miners have dwindled in
number from 100000 to 375, ,0C0.
Contending that Boyd is unqual-
flied and does not understand the
coal miners problems, Mr.. Lewis
said:
"Mr. Boyd may be a good man
good to his family But we want
someone who will be kind to the
coal miners families. We, the coal
miners, are petitioning the Senate
not to approve the appointment Of
man who does not possess the
qualifications for this job-and Mr..
Boyd does not.
'lt's like employing a watch
maker to repair a steam shovel"

tartan reasons.
The IFTW, he explained, "be-
lieves as we do that the World
Federation of Trade Unions, as
constituted today, is not the solu-
tion to the question of world trade
union unity" AFL unions have
voiced strenuous objection to the
WFTU as vehicle for interna-
tional labor cooperation because
Soviet unions, which are mot
free," are represented.
Immediately after accepting the
