Board Rules
Miners Violated
tn In Kentucky

Madisonville, Ky. OPA) = Dis
trict 23 of the United Mine Work
ers violated the Taft Hartley act
by Invasion and seizure" Of six
non-union mines in this west Ken
lucky area during last years mine
strike, a trial examiner for the
National Labor Relations board
ruled May 2S. District officers and
an n t ern tional representative
must promise never to do it again,
the examiner said. His decision has
the force of board order if it's
not contested within 20 days.
According to the ruling, the
UNIV sent out 1000 men who tour
ed the area in huge motor car
avan, invaded mine properties,
rounded up non-uniOn miners, sub
jected the latter to threatening
speeches and forced them to leave
their jobs. Trial examiner Charles
l.. Ferguson concluded these acti-
vities constituted course of con
duct creating an atmosphere of ter
ror and fear exceeding the bounds
Of peaceable action" He said Dis
trict 23 violated TIL by restraining
the right Of workers not to join a
union if they didn't want to.
The caravan toured six mines in
Hopkins and Union counties June
20 and 30, Ferguson wrote. As the
1000 union miners would approach
a non-union pit-head they would be
preceded by the county sheriff and
a state police captain who would
tell management best course was to
shut down and call the men togeth-
er. By that time, the union miners
would be rounding up the non-union
men anyway. The union men would
surround the non-union boys while
UNIV officials made speeches,
Ferguson claimed. The non-union
men would be told that the mine
was shut-and would remain shut
until the company signed a con
tract and the employees joined up.
An evening organizing meeting
would be scheduled on the spot.
The non-union coal diggers were
out of the pits about 10 days be-
fore state court issued an injunc-
tion against the UNIV. Four com
panies operating the mines filed
the complaints with the NLRB.

UAW Wins S10O
Pensions, &c Pay
Hike For 285,OOO

Detroit (LPA)-Agreement on a
contract covering the 285,000 pro-
duction workers employed by Gen
eral Motors Corp. was reached by
GIN and United Auto Workers on
May 20.
The five-year pact grants retire
ment pensions of 500 a month
which will increase as Federal So
cial security benefits improve.
(This is a step ahead of the Ford
and Chrysler agreements, which
automatically cut company pension
payments when Federal payments
increase.)
A wage increase of four cents
each year is guaranteed for the
next five years. The cost-of-living
escalator clause, established in the
last GIN contract, remains in effect,
but the steady four-cent increase is
not related to it.
UAW President Walter Reuther
announced that the entire "pack-
age" won by the union totals 19
cents: seven cents for pensions,
five cents for a hospital-medical
program, four cents flat wage in
crease, one-and-a-half cents. i'm
proved vacation pay, and g cents
in special raises including five
cent hourly increase for tool and
die makers.
The agreement also provides for
a modified union shop. Formal rati-
fication by local unions is necess-
ary. This however is expected to be
routine, because 200 delegates from
the locals approved the pact at
conference in Detroit.

Tv Set Makers
Urged To Include
FIN Reception

Washington (LPA) Television
manufacturers could save radio and
give consumers greater entertain
ment value if more of them would
equip television sets to receive FIN
radio broadcasts, according to Ed
ward l.. Sellers of the National AS
sociation of Broadcasters.
It's a simple engineering matter
Sellers points out. He says the as
sociation estimates it would cost a
manufacturer only $2 to SO set
and that the final added cost to the
consumer would be no more than
$40 including all taxes. He expects
Independent engineering estimates
to confirm association figures.
The Broadcasters Association is
putting on a drive among manufac-
turers in line with a resolution
adopted at it's April convention. II
the campaign is successful. FIN
stations owned by the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union
AFL and the United Auto Work
ers will be among the principal
beneficiaries. SO will other small
FM stations which regularly put on
top-flight programs.
Sellers, who heads the associa-
tion's FM department, says that a
television set really is a modified
FM receiver. In fact the "sound"
part of television actually is FIN.
Only hitch is that most television
sets are not equipped to receive
the wave lengths assigned to FIN
radio broadcasts.
In fact, Sellers says, there is an
entire section in the middle of the
FIN band which is omitted from
most television sets. This is the
section which includes the chan
nels assigned to FM radio stations.
If the section were included, and if
a couple of switches were added,
your teleyision set would be an FM
radio too.
Including an AM radio however,
would be another and an expensive
matter, Sellers adds.
The resolution at the Broadcast
ers' Association convention calling
for campaign among manufac-
turers to include full provision for
FM reception was introduced by
Morris Novik of New York, radio
to both the ILGWU and
the UAW. 1t is expected that the
association will make strong at
tempt to enlist the aid of members
of the Federal Communications
Commission in its campaign.

land, Detroit, Chattanooga and Los

Detroit (LPA)-A five-year con-
tract patterned after the one sign
ed with the autoworkers was agreed
on May 27 by General Motors Corp.
and the Int'l Union of Electrical,
Radio & Machine Workers.
More than 10000 IUE members
are covered by the pact, which has
nearly all the features of the UAW
settlement that has drawn favor
able comment nationwide. Only the
modified union-shop provision is
omitted. A clause in its place pro-
vides for such a union shop if and
when the electrical workers win an
NLRB-conducted union shop cleo
ton.
Unusual features of the contract
include guaranteed annual wage
raise of four cents each year for
the next five years; 500 retire
ment pensions, to be raised to
S11750 if federal social security
laws are improved; an escalator
clause granting wage raises when
cost-of- living rises and cuts when
it goes down with a floor beneath

ance, sickness and accident bene-
fits, including payment of half the

TIL Forces Union Sedmen
To Change Boycott Pldn

New I ork (LPA)-Ihe 1aIL-
Hartley act reaches around the
world to Illustrate trade union pro-
gress, blue-water seamen of many
flags discovered recently. As a re-
suit, the seafarers' section of the
Intern tional Transportworkers
Federation has had to change and
perhaps weaken the strategy by
which union seamen hope to defeat
the purposes of shipowners who
transfer ships to Panamanian reg
istry, according to a report sub
mitted by John Hawk, information
al Secretary-treasurer of the Sea-
farers international Union-AFL
published in the Seafarers Log.
Originally, union seamen planned
to organize a boycott of the Pana-
manian fleet, which is really own
ed by Americans, Norwegians, Eng
lishmen, Greeks, and others, but
kept under the flag of Panama to
avoid union wages, responsibility
for damage suits, taxes, and high
engineering standards. However,
when a committee of the seafarers'
section sat down in Amsterdam,
Netherlands, last month to work
out the details, the shadow of Sen.
Robert A. Taft sat down with them.
A dark shadow it was, too.
Center of the boycott was expect
ed to be the American waterfront.
But Hawk had to tell his conference
mates that the Taft Hartley act
prevents workers from striking in
sympathy with others or from
striking to enforce demands not
directly connected with their own
jobs. In short, the longawaited
Panamanian boycott would be a
secondary boycott, illegal under
Taft's law. Hawk pointed out that
court injunctions already had been
issued against the STU for picket
ing Panamanian ships. Another
bar to an all-out boycott was the
fear that European Communists
might try to take advantage of the
situation to halt Atlantic Pact arms
shipments.
However, according to Hawks
report, union seamen have devised
new strategy including the fol-
lowing steps:
Seamen's unions will try to OBJ
tain contracts covering crews of
ships now under the Panamanian
flag which once flew the flags of
their respective countries.
American unions will seek Amer
lean wages for former US ships.
Others will seek British wages plus
20 percent differential if the ship
is under a social security or plus a
differential up to 66 if the ship is
not covered by social security.
Ships whose owners refuse to
come to terms will be subjected to
boycott action and other harass-
