gress should try to find a more
equitable plan for dealing with
all citizens over 65.
In a verbal exchange with So

Republican said it is a "misnomer"
to call the present system an in

workers still outside the system
to increase the retirement pay
ments and to liberalize Federal
grants made to the States to help

pendent children and the blind.
Taft States Reasons.
Among the reasons Senator Taft
gave for believing the contributory
old-age retirement plan unsound
were the following:
i. Present-day workers are taxed
for payments to past wage earners
2. Only 100000 persons over

Denham Decides To Ask Court
To Halt Strike and 3-Day Week.
Restore Full Production Of Coal
Bases Complaint
On Charges Of
Mine Owners
By james Y. Newton

General Counsel Robert N. Den
ham of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board today announced that
he will ask District Court this
afternoon for an injunction to
end the three-day week and
strikes of John L. Lewis United
Mine Workers and to restore the
full production of coal.
Mr.. Denham announced his
long awaited decision at l pm.
and said his aides would file their
injunction request in about two
hours.
The Government moved to re-
store coal production as coal field
reports indicated that $4,000
UNIV members were out on strike
and coal merchants in Pittsburgh
announced they would start ra-
tioning the fuel.
Wants Hearing Date Set.
Mr.. Denham told newsmen that
he did not expect to obtain an
injunction Immediately but that
the court in all probability would
set a date today for a hearing on
his petition.
If the court agrees with the
general counsel that Mr.. Lewis
and the UNIV have been guilty of
unfair labor practices and have
refused to bargain in good faith
with the mine operators it will
issue an order designed to end
both the three-day week and the
current strikes. The three-day
work week has been in effect since
December l since it was ordered
by Mr.. Lewis.
Mr.. Denham said that the White
House knew Of the action he is
taking and that it had left him
free to do what he thought was
right in the matter of seeking an
injunction.
Based on Industry Complaint.
The charges upon which Mr..
Denham will ask the court order
were filed with him by nearly all
of the nations soft coal operators.
The complaint charges:
l. A refusal on the part of Mr..
Lewis and his UNIV to bargain in
good faith with the operators.
2. Insistance by the UNIV and
Mr.. Lewis that Illegal provisions be
put into a new industry contract.
Mr.. Denham said the illegal
provisions involved the insistence
by the union that the operators
sign union shop contract, which
is outlawed by the Taft-Hartley
Act unless the miners vote for it
in a formal election. There has
been no such election held in the
mining industry.
If the injunction is issued, Mr.
Denham said, it would remain in
effect until the five-member Ma
tional Labor Relations Board has
ruled on the merits of the charges
brought against Mr.. Lewis by the
operators. Normally it is matter
of months before a case can be
heard by the NLRB itself.
Asks for Full Work Week.
Mr.. Denham said that he was
asking the court to send the min
ers back to the mines full time
and the UNIV negotiators to the
bargaining table and instruct
them to bargain with the opera
tors in good faith for a new con-
tract.
The Pittsburgh merchants said
that first priority will go to such
essential users as hospitals and
food professors. The power COM
pany in Pittsburgh already has
warned industrial users that il
may be forced to begin rationing
of electric power on Friday, as q
coal-conserving measure.
The UNIV has not explained
the strikes, which are concen-
trated in the key industrial area
