NLRB Decision Called
Powerful Industry Weapon
By the Assoeiotsd Pre-

pf
Coal industry sources said today
the recent National Labor Rela-
tions Board decision forbidding
John L. Lewis to demand a union
shop gives them potent weapon
in negotiating a new contract.
The NLRB ordered Mr.. Lewis
and his United Mine Workers
Union to refrain from demanding
a union shop as part of any new
coal agreement. He was directed
to give his promise to comply by
June 13.
The industry's negotiators were
described as undecided, so far, on
whether they will refuse to con-
tinue in q new contract the union
shop clause now included in the
agreement expiring June 80.
They could refuse to continue 1t
and, under terms of the NLRB's
order, Mr.. Lewis would face pos
sible court Injunction proceedings
II he insisted on keeping the clause.
It requires all miners to be mem
bers of the UNIV.

Southern Coal Talks
Resume After Delay
Forced by Lewis
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BLUEFIELD. w. Va, June a.
The Southern Coal Producers As
sociation today resumed contract
talks with John L. Lewis with
almost as much bargaining
strength as ever.
Mr.. Lewis had forced q weeks
delay in the start of negotiations.
challenging the associations right
to represent enough Southern op-
orators to comply with the SCPA's
own bylaws.
But Joseph E. Moody came back
to the conferences today claiming
to represent at least 100000 900
tons of soft coal production per
year. The association was formed
in 1941 to bargain for the South
ern operators. Its bylaws re-
quired that any contract negoti-
ated by its officers should be rati-
fed by two-thirds Of the Board
of Directors.
That meant that 9 of the boards
IA members should ratify any
agreement which Mr.. Lewis and
Mr.. Moody conceivably could
negotiate.
Major Withdrawals Denied.
Mr.. Lewis took advantage Of
some defections last week to call
for a one-week delay in the bar
gaining talks. He said the SCPA
needed the time either to pull it
self together or fall to pieces COM
pletely.
But Mr.. Moody, fighting to get
the contract talks started well in
advance of the expiration of the
194S agreement June 80. refused
to admit that there major with
drawals by operators.
When he returned to Bluefield
he said that there had been no big
new defections, despite pressures
in Kentucky and elsewhere to split
the employer groups.
Mr.. Lewis has not yet told the
operators exactly what he wants
this year. Even though he al
lows negotiations with Mr.. Moody
to get underway this week. it was
considered unlikely that he would
give detailed demands to Mr..
Moody before he has a chance to
discuss the contract.
Mr.. Moody has a sizeable pack
age of arguments marshalled for
use against Mr.. Lewis expected
demand for a higher tonnage
royalty for his welfare fund. Mr..
Lewis would like to postpone that
speech while he clears up prelim-
inaries with the steel company
captive" mine interests and other
geographical operating divisions.
Accent Royalty Possible.
The present royalty is 20 cents
a ton. That yields about $780,
900, 900 a year, but it is being spent
even faster than 1t is coming in.
The UNIV chief is expected to ask
for more-maybe as much as 40
cents a ton.
It was considered improbable.
however, that MIR. Lewis would dis
close his demands until he gets
the national conference which he
appears to, be aiming for.
He has a conference tentatively
scheduled with United States Steel
Corp. after June 10, but there are
no further meeting on the calen-
dar. Both sides are waiting
cautiously for the other to move.

Gilbert is comparative newcomer to
the electric-train field, where the Lionel
Corporation is still pre-eminent. The Amer
ican Flyer line was bought from moribund
Chicago firm in 1887.
Like Lionel and other makers of toy
trains. Gilbert is prodded continually by
large railroads to reproduce their locomo-
tives and rolling stock. It is fine advertising

GILBERT considers many models, takes
those with the most exciting domes, rivet
patterns and superstructure Once a loco
motive or car is selected, its blueprints are
borrowed from the railroads. and engineers
set out to reduce it to Gilbert's 3/l6-inch
scale. Pilot models may cost as much as
$4,000 to develop.
The chemistry set. which appeared sew
eral years after Erector, was also the subject
of intensive research before it was perfected.
Obviously, no chemicals in it could explode,
poison or burn - either alone or in any pos
sible combination with each other. The
set had to conform to the U. S. Pure Food
and Drug Act. 1t could not break any state
or municipal fire laws.
The man who did most to meet these
standards was Yale's DR.. johnson. The
present chemistry manual, which also
bears the reassuring name of A. c. Gil
bert, M d., represents three years. work.
Proof that he succeeded nobly is shown by
the No. Is set - the Master Scientists
Laboratory - which contains l48 chemicals
and pieces of apparatus and can be used for
$50 experiments.
Only one chemical has ever got into the
set that later had to be removed. No one at
