Retention Of 80-Doy
Strike Injunction
By J. A. O'leor

A labor law equitable both to
management and labor will be
needed more in the next 18 months
than in the past if the country is
entering on "leveling off" period
in economic conditions, the Senate
Labor Committee was told today as
it neared the end of it's labor legis-
lation hearings.
Joseph E. Moody, spokesman for
the Southern Coal Producers AS
sociation, testified that in a period
of economic readjustment indus
try will have to use more sales
ma1ship for business and collec-
tive bargaining will be a tougher"
job.
The witness also said that if
the present agreement with the
coal miners expires June 80. and
a work stoppage should continue
for 80, 40 or so days, the country
again would be back lin a serious
situation"
Mr.. Moody resumed the stand
as the committee sought to wind
up today a month of stormy hear
ings on the Taft Hartley law.
"Unfortunate Political Situation" :"
Mr.. Moody was urging reten-
ton of the 80-day injunction
method of delaying emergency
strikes in the Taft-Hartley Act.
Early in the hearings. Secretary
of Labor Tobin estimated the Ma
ton has about 100 days of coal
supply above ground. as he advo-
Gated the administration proposal
for 30-day cooling of period
without the injunction weapon.
Mr.. Moody, however. placed the
coal supply at about so days. He
said it would have been better if
the Taft Hartley law could have
been tried out for about five years
instead of 18 months before it was
taken up for revision. He drew
smiles from some of the commit
tee members when he added:
I'VE had an unfortunate political
situation-there you are"
Senator Morse, Republican, of
Oregon, who is opposed to the
Taft-Hartley court injunction
section, asked Mr.. Moody whether
he feels the provision is necessary
"in order to hold a threat over Mr..
Lewis (UMW chief John L. Lewis

piled. The Taft-Hartley law re-
