Hostile 5outherners

John L. Lewis argued today
that he is not required to bar

citation.
This was his reply to the Govern
ment's motion for q Taft-Hartley
Act injunction to compel his United
Mine workers to seek contract
with the association.
Mr.. Lewis lawyers filed 4 motion
in District Court to dismiss the in
junction suit brought by Robert N.
Denham, general counsel of the
National Labor Relations Board.
The Taft-Hartley law requires un-
ions and employers to bargain in
good faith with each others chosen
representatives. Mr.. Lewis has re-
fused to bargain with the Southern
group on the ground it did not take
part in previous contract talks. As
a result national negotiations for a
new soft coal contract have col
lapsed
Lewis explains StAno.
The union, in moving to dismiss
the suit, filed a long afiidavit from
Mr.. Lewis attacking the Southern
group and explaining why he won't
deal with it.
The unions lawyer, Welly X
Hopkins. contended among other
things that:

Federal Judge Luther M. Swygert
ruled against the union on both
counts. He granted an injunction
requiring the ITU to cease certain

| Mr.. Hopkins also said an injunc-
tion would impair the obligation OF
the parties to the 1947 soft coal
agreement.
Concerning this, Mr.. Lewis pointed
out in his afiidavit that the l947

from previous contracts and said
it was deliberately written so as to

itself in social, economic and polit-
ical problems that were not proper
matters for church action.
The council, which served as a CO.
ordinating agency for program:
