NLRB Rebuffs Lewis
In Barring Union ShoE
Al Captive Mines
Union Leader Warned
Clause He Usually Asks
In Contracts Is Illegal
By the Associoted Press
RY the Assoeiated Press

John L. Lewis, now opening con-
tract talks with Southern coal
operators, had blunt notice from
the Government today that a
clause he customarily insists on
in his contracts is against the
law.
In a ruling with possible far
reaching effects-on Congress. as
well as on the coal industry-the
National Labor Relations Board
held unanimously yesterday that
the union shop clause OF Mr..
Lewis present contract with the
Captive" coal mines is a viola
ton of the aft-Hartley Act.
While this case involves only
the mines owned by steel COM
panies for their private use, the
same clause appears in the United
Mine Workers agreements with
the whole industry. It has been
there for eight years.
No Right to Clause.
The clause requires all the
miners to "be or become" UNIV
members or get fired.
Such clauses are legal-but only
when a majority of the workers
vote their approval in an NLRB
election.
The coal miners have had no
such election, because UNIV ON
GERS have not filed non-Coni-
munist oaths or a financial re-
port with the board. and thus are
denied use Of NLRB machinery
under the Taft-Hartley Act.
Therefore. the board said, the
union had no right to such a
clause-and certainly no right to
strike for it, as the mine workers
did for seven days last July.
Mr.. Lewis had claimed that was
not a strike, but only the miners
refusal to work without a con-
tract. The board disagreed fatty.
The union, it said, though scru-
pulously avoiding any outward
appearance of participation in the
strike, actually instigated and con-
tinued the strike until the COM
panies capitulated to their de-
mands and signed the agreement"
This contract. as well as UNIV
contracts with Northern and
Southern soft coal operators. ex-
pires June 80. Negotiations for a
new contract with the Southern
operators have started in Blue
field, w. Va, but have been de-
layed.
Mr.. Lewis is expected to appeal
the NLRB decision-to the Su-
preme Court. If necessary. Mean
while. he refused to comment, as
did the United States Steel Corp,
which owns some of the captive
mines.
In Congress, which has been
known to legislate with Mr.. Lewis
in mind, there were differing opin-
ions as to whether the decision
would affect the present battle
over a new labor law.
Senator Taft, Republican, Of
Ohio told reporter. st don't think
it makes any difference. Every
body always thought that clause
was illegal anyway"
But Senator Ellender, Democrat,
of Louisiana commented: There
is no doubt that this ruling
strengthens the hand of those OF
us who favor that part Of the law
which the board rules MIR. Lewis

House Unit Approves
Bill Requiring Bureaus
To Deal With Unions
Federal EmpIoye Groups
Would Be Consulted on
Pay, Firines, Promotions
By Joseph Young

A House Civil Service Subcom-
mittee has given its approval te
one of the most important pieces
of Federal employe legislation in
years-a bill which would compel
Federal agencies and officials tc
deal with Government employe
unions on all working conditions
and problems.
While the measure does not lit
orally call for collective bargain
ing. it provides for the next closest
thing.
Sponsored by Representative
Rhodes, Democrat, of Pennsylva-
mia the bill provides that Federal
agency officials be required to dis
cuss and deal with employe un.
ions on matters involving reduc-
tions in force. pay. grievances
promotions. demotions and other
matters involving working condi-
tons.
Action Comes as Surprise.
The subcommittee action came
as a considerable surprise. since
there was no indication that the
Rhodes bill was being considered
seriously. Representative Davis
Democrat, of Georgia is chairman
of the group.
II enacted into law, 1t would
give Federal employe unions Their
strongest boost since unionism In
the Government service started or
a concerted scale 80 or 40 years
ago.
The measure also would permi
union officials to collect dues OF
the premises and would Civ,
unions the right to negotiate al
grievances on the part of thei
members.
Any Federal official who uset
any intimidation" or "reprisal
against employees because o
union activities would be subject
ed to dismissal.
Amends Dismissal Bill.
The legislation was adopted a
an amendment to q bill sponSoret
by Chairman Murray Of the full
committee which would hav'
given agencies the right to sus'
pend employees summarily with
out giving them the full NATURE
of the charges against them.
The subcommittee watered thi'
down considerably to apply onl.
to emergency cases and also re-
quired agencies to give these EN-
ployes the full nature OF thu
charges against them. Then. IL
addition. it added the Rhodes bill
as an amendment to the Murra!
bill.
In other words, it was pointed
out that what started out to b.
an anti-employe. pro-agency mea
sure has wound up as a stroni
pro-union employe participation
bill which provides for the great.
est possible recognition-outsid'
of actual collective bargaining
rights-for Government employees

West Presents
United Germany
Plan 10 Russia
Union of Four Zones
Under Bonn Charter
Reported Proposed
BY the Asseeio'sd Press

PARIS. May 28.-Foreign Min
lister Robert Schuman OF France
presented TO Russia today the
Western plan for a unified Ger
many.
A French informant said Mr.
Schuman laid the Western pro-
posal on the Big -Four conference
table before Soviet Foreign Min
lister Andrea Y. Vishinsky late in
the afternoon. The meeting ended
almost Immediately afterward
presumably to give Mr.. Vishinsky
time to study 1t.
While there was no immediate
official word, informed sources said
the plan calls for linking the Soviet
occupation zone of Germany with
the three Western zones under the
newly approved Bonn constitution
Unheralded Session Held.
Secretary of State Acheson
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
and Mr.. Schuman met in an I'M
heralded session at the French
Foreign Office this morning and
approved the plan, this source
said.
The three Western Ministers re-
manned in session until / pm. "a
am. EDIT. None would COM
ment as he left the ministry. In
answer to a question. the British
source declared there are unlike
ly to be any surprises In the West
ern document"
Basic idea Of the Western plan
is to extend over all of Germany
the governmental system now in
force In the Western zones. This
would bring the Bonn constitution
into the Russian zone as replace
ment for the Soviet design now
in force there.
The Russians have given no in
dication that they would find the
Western model acceptable. Mr.
vishinsky has proposed instead
that the old Allied Control Coun-
Gil be re-established and that
under 1t, a new German agency be
created to handle subjects passed
on to it by the four powers-ii
they could agree on any. Failure
Of the four powers to agree in the
past on the operation Of controls
over Germany caused the United
States, Britain and France to sci
up the separate system for the
three Western zones.
Strike Also Discussed.
British sources said the Western
ministers also were discussing
Berlin's latest situation. resulting
from a week-old strike Of German
railmen employed by Soviet-ap-
pointed authorities.
The strike has led to a pileup OF
rail traffic. Effect Of all this. In
the Western view, is that minor
blockade of the Western sectors
of Berlin has come about.
The three ministers presumably
decided today whether they
should take joint action in the
conference room by protesting to
Mr.. Vishinsky that Russia Is
preaching the New York agree
ment which ended the blockade
The West either can raise the
whole matter In the conference
or they can send Mr.. Vishinsky a
stiff note of protest. The first
course is considered by British
sources to be more likely.

German unity may leave open the
