Price Gouge
By
Member

WASHINGTON (LPA - Coal
companies are about to try to
engineer a big price gouge and
blame it on the United Mine
Workers and John l.. Lewis, an
u n n a m ed UNIV spokesman
charged in a sizzling statement
to the press.
He said the unions modest
contract demands would cost the
mine operators 20 to 35 cents a
ton, but that ION the basif2 of
past performance" the com
panies would proceed to boost
their prices so cents to S1.50.
He recalled it long has been
the habit of the operators to
maintain the miners are pricing
coal out of the market, but last
year the companies made more
money than ever before.
The Mine Workers, after
working three day weeks most
of the summer, struck on Sept.
10 for a pay raise, shorter day
and an increase in the per-ton
the operators pay to a
pension-welfare fund. After two
weeks, the union ordered 100,-
600 Pennsylvania n t hra te
miners and far western bitumin-
Gus diggers back, but another
100000 bituminous miners re-
mained out another six weeks
before being ordered back. The
union then suspended the strike
until Dec. l, but observers be-
lieve the government won't let
it begin again.
On the morning of Nov. Is,
the UNIV paid the 1920, 900
fine levied against the union and
Lewis by a district court for not
b beying an injunction in the
spring of 1948. The fine was, in
effect, upheld by the Supreme
Court, which refused to review

The Schultz Die Casting Com
pany is one of the oldest die cast
ing manufacturers in the busi-
ness. Previously the local was in
the Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers but seeded from that
organization because of dissatis-

tated policies. The UAW CAM

Still In Doubt

ASHIN GTON (LPA)-
Despite newspaper reports to the
contrary, the Supreme Court
this week did not rule that war
veterans are still entitled to pre-
service seniority on the job. The
Court merely ruled that the
lower courts were wrong in dis
missing the cases of two rail
workers, and sent the cases back
to them for trial on the facts
and merits. The 1910 draft act
guaranteed a veteran seniority
for one year after his discharge
from the service.

ed from CIO) or IUE-CIO (set

! The company, however, asked
for rs para tie units in its
plants throughout the country.
The day before, IUE-CIO had
filed with the board for an cleo
ton covering all $4,000 of the
Westinghouse workers as a sim
gle bargaining unit. The new
nom Communist union would be
certain to win such an election,
observers predicted. With rs sep
arate elections, however, the
left-wing UE would probably
win several small locals.
1UE also filed with the board
for elections covering a $4,000
member General Motors unit
and 100,000-member General
Electric unit. So far neither GIN
nor GE has given any encour-
agement to such an election. II
is up to the NLRB to decide
whether one will be held. AT
present, all the companies in
volved have contracts with the
old UE. In the past, however,
NLRB has called for an election
while a contract was in effect -
when, as in this case, something
has occurred to change the bar
