Captive Mine Group
Meets 10 Decide on
Action Against Lewis
" the Assoeio,sd Press

Representatives Of captive" coal
mines-owned by steel companies
met today to decide whether to
charge John L. Lewis with an un-
fair labor practice. This group has
refused thus far to sign the new
contract with Mr.. Lewis United
Mine Workers.
The steel companies say Mr.
Lewis insistence on q union shor
clause would force them to violate
the Taft-Hartley Act. The law re-
quires an election among employees
before an employer can agree to a
union shop-one in which all work
ers must join the union within q
given time.
Mr.. Lewis had the union shop
clause in his 1947 contract. The new
agreement changed only the wage
and welfare sections Of the l941
contract, leaving the union shop
intact. The steel companies. whose
coal is used by the steel mills
baked at signing.
U. s. Could Ask Injunction.
Negotiators Harry M. Moses anc
George Thursby met with the rep.
resentatives of other steel concerns
to decide on the next move.
They can either sign up by July
when the Today industry-wid'
vacation ends-or ask the Nationa
Labor Relations Board to 60 t.
court against Mr.. Lewis.
The boards general counsel, Rob
ert N. Denham, is authorized unde
the Taft-Hartley Act to seek Al
injunction where he thinks al
unfair labor practice is bein'
committed.
Another meeting in the coal sit
uation was arranged for this after.
noon by trustees of the miners
welfare and retirement fund.
The trustees are Mr.. Lewis. Oper.
ator Ezra Van Horn and Senator
Bridges, Republican, of New Hamp.
shire.
Fund Has Been Untapped.
The 1947 fund. which grew tt
SIS, ,000, 900 in II months. has beer
untapped because Mr.. Van Horr
and Mr.. Lewis could not agree or
how to distribute the money fol
pensions and distressed minint
families.
Mr.. Van Horn lost a court fight Il

Religion tCatholicism) is one Of
the required subjects in the public
schools Of Colombia, although chill
dren may be excused If they show
that they are receiving instruction
in their own faith. This is not the
case in all Latin American coun-
tries. In Colombia, it is not uncom-
mon to see Autographs of the saints
hanging on the walls beside maps
and portraits of Colombian heroes.
A good number Of the many pri-
vate schools existing there are
parochial schools.
Boys and girls don't go to school
together in Colombia. Even in the
more crowded rural schools, the boys
attend in the morning and the girls
in the afternoon. Co-education does
exist in the experimental elementary
schools.
Compulsory free education is In
effect for children from to IA
years old. Five years Of elementary
school are required, and the years
are busy ones. with as much varied
learning as possible crowded into
these years as preparation for adult
life.
Traditional secondary school lasts
for six years. many more subjects
are covered than in our schools-and
there are no electives. Usually, the
students who continue on in the
secondary schools plan to go to
university.
Vocational schools supplement the
elementary schools. and offer voca-
tional training in agriculture, COM
merce, industry. the arts and trades
and home economics.
Some experiments have also beer

ant schools, in an effort to reach
all Of the children. Since 1885, the
Colombian version Of the Mexican
Cultural and Educational Mission
Schools has been in existence.
Nursery schools and kindergartens
are receiving considerable attention
too, although these are not compul-
sorry.
English is the favorite among the
foreign languages. Some of the
most progressive private schools in
Colombia are bi-lingual.
lie Corbusier, French architect and
city planner, recently advised the
Colombians in designing and build
ing modern, functional school build
ings, fashioned Of materials adapted
to each region. The government
also plans to send students to study
under lie Corbusier. Fairgrounds
outside the school have been added,
and gymnasiums inside and in the
rural buildings adequate space and
facilities have been included for
instruction in agriculture, manual
arts and handicrafts.
Students who wish to become
teachers go to the Colombian Nor
NAL Schools, instead of the standard
secondary schools, many under q
scholarship plan. Here, the first
years offer the standard secondary
curriculum, and the latter years are
professionaliZed. Most Of the
teachers in Colombia are women, a
good many Of them married. Spe-
cial salary offers are made to keep
men in the profession.
Health is an important part Of
Colombia's school program; in fact
the country is noted for this in
Latin America. School medical and
dental services are furnished with
the help Of the ministry Of public
health.
A love Of folk lore, dancing and
group singing is fostered III Colon
bian children. Although athletics
are not emphasized as they are here
there has been greater interest ir
this in recent years.
