Dear Mr.. President: On Febru-

Our report is transmitted here

the inquiry which has led to the
findings of this board are de-
scribed in the report itself.
Because of close time limita-
tions, our work was carried on

assistance rendered by the boards

to prolonging unduly the fencing
stage of their bargaining. 1t is an
important circumstance of this
case that this fencing was permit
ted to continue into a period of
national emergency. The conse-
quences which have resulted-the
strike. the coal shortage, and the
imminent possibility of an injunc-
tion-have served to antagonize
the parties and to build up resent
ments which make voluntary set
tlement the more difficult.
The actual positions of the
parties on these money issues can
not, under the circumstances, be
definitely ascertained. The nego-
tiations observed by the board and
the terms of contracts made by
this union with some other opera
tors permit the inference that the
union is seeking wage-rate and
welfare fund contribution in
creaseS in an amount which ii
estimates would cost % cents per
ton. The basis for this figure is 95
cents per day more in wages and
Is cents per ton additional for the
welfare fund. But the union
stated position remains one of re-
fusal to specify any amount.
The operators stated position is
still that no increase whatsoever
is warranted or can be made with
out what they maintain would be
an unjustifiable increase in the
cost of coal. Yet, at the February
8 negotiations, their reaction to
the suggestion which the union
seemed to be making was that it
would cost more than % cents per
ton on the average. They were
also critical of this suggestion be-
cause such an increase would be
out OF line with recent adjust
ments granted in the steel and
other important industries.
On these wage and welfare fund
contribution issues, as on those
mentioned earlier, the board, in
conformity with the statutory
mandate, takes no position regard
ing what could or should be done.
1t reports only that they are the
basic issues in this dispute.
The failure to resolve this dis
pute between the operators and
the union by collective bargaining
has resulted in a cessation of work
in the mines producing the great
bulk of the output of the coal in
dustry. On January 25, 1850.
prior to the current general stop
page of production, DR.. James
Boyd, director of the Bureau of
Mines, reported that %" the
situation is one of apprehension, +"
and further that "* y unless
there is an immediate resumption
of substantially increased coal
production the economy, health
and welfare of the Nation is now
or soon will be imperiled." At that
time the Bureau of Mines esti-
mated that coal stocks in the
hands of all industrial consumers
and retail dealers approximated
81, 795 900 tons, or an average of
% days supply.
The current stoppage of work,
commencing February 6, 1850, has
further reduced coal stocks. The
Bureau of Mines reported to this

lective bargaining were described
by the parties themselves as hav-
ing yielded only a fantastic" as
sortment of vague demands, with
futile sparring at "perfunctory'
conclaves.
There were repeated references
to the wastes of time which had
occurred while the parties stood
alternately in ceremonious in
sistence upon what would invaria-
bly, be described subsequently as
conditions precedent" The i'm
preston conveyed was that in lone
months of bargaining the real
issues in this case had never &C
tually been Joined.
At the outset of the hearings
the stated positions of the parties
were as outlined below.
i. Stated position of the parties
The union was demanding q
wage-rate increase of unspecified
proportions; the operators posi-
tion was fiat refusal to con-
slider any increase in wage rates
The union was demanding an
increase in the amount of the
operators contribution to the pen
sion and welfare fund. This wa.
20 cents per ton under the 1948
contract. Here again, the union
specified no amount for the new
agreement; the operators refused
to consider any increase at all.
Demand for Shorter Day.
The union had also submitted
demand for a shortening of the
workday from to z hours, with
no reduction in daily rates. The
operators fatty rejected this pro-
posal.
The operators position on these
demands was predicated on their
insistence that no contract re-
newal, even on the old wage-rate
and welfare fund contribution
terms, would be considered unless
the union would accept certain
changes in other provisions of the
1948 contracts. The last bargain
ing conference, on February 2,
Evening star., 1950-02-12

1850, had ended upon the with
drawal of Northern operators
when the union moved this reso-
luton:
THE mine workers move that we
proceed to negotiate a contract
and that in the negotiations all
matters before the conference are
subjects for consideration and ne
gotiation and are not to be con-
sidered as conditions precedent to
agreement.
The explanation offered for this
withdrawal by the operators was
that they regarded the resolution
as indicating that the union nego-
tiators were adamant in their re-
fusal to make the several contract
changes which the operators
deemed conditions precedent" to
any further discussions.
These non-wage issues included
these items:
(a) The provisions in the old
contract wherein the contract was
made applicable only during such
times as the employees "are able
and willing to work." and wherein
the union could designate memo
rial periods" The operators main
tanned that these clauses had been
used by the union to limit produc-
ton and the free use by the oper-
ators of their mine facilities, and
that such practices violated the
intended purposes of these clauses
The operators position was that
these clauses would have to be SUBJ
stantially changed. or eliminated
entirely. and a broad no-strike
clause included to guarantee con-
tract performance by the union.
Union Shop Provision.
(b) The union-sh provision
in the old contract. The opera
tors maintained that the union
shop provision had been held IL
legal by the National Labor Rela-
tions Board and that this provi-
sion would accordingly have to be
dropped unless the union met the
statutory requirements of the La

the operators and the union have
bargained either with too great
emphasis on tactical advantage or
too little confidence in their ability
to reach an understanding. In

collective bargaining to function

This dispute will eventually be
settled by collective bargaining.
Representatives of both sides &C

reality. There is no justification
for exposing the country to the
