Red Unions Call Out
French Coal Miners;
Imports Cut Sharply
BY the Assoeiuted Press

PARIS, Nov. 14.-Communist
labor leaders called 10000 French
coal miners-more than half the
nations mine force-out on strike
today. imperilling Frances rear
mament goals.
1t was expected to be hours be-
fore the effectiveness of the strike
call could be judged. Communist
officials predicted 80 to 95 per
cent of the workers would walk
out, but neutral observers consid-
cred this an exaggeration.
Strike leaders insisted that the
walkout was non-political and was
only to back demands for resump-
tion Of free health benefits which
the government has ruled the
miners must pay for to help fill
social security funds.
Coal From U. S. Sought.
Non-Communist unions, whose
strength is much smaller than the
Reds, opposed the strike.
The strike came as France was
pleading for additional coal from
the United States to help stoke her
rearmament furnaces and as the
French mines pushed toward an
all-time record production of 54.5
million tons for the year. A STOP
page of any length would rule out
that goal.
Frances coal mines have been
sovernment-oWned since 1945.
Despite strikes spanked mostly by
the Communist-run General Con-
federation of Labor, they have
increased their output and last
year produced a record 81 per
cent OF the country'S needs.
In the current dispute the gov
eminent had decreed the miners
must pay Is per cent of medical
and drug bills which formerly
were betrayed entirely by the state
health insurance plan.
Imports Cut Drastically.
Meanwhile, France announced a.
drastic slash of imports, necessi-
tated by shortage of dollar
reserves. -..
Imports from the dollar zone for
the period up to June 80. 1852,
will be reduced to about $500
million, cabinet spokesman said.
Finance Minister Rene Mayer
indicated to the cabinet the nation
was in for serious belt tightening.
French dollar imports from June
1850, to June. 1851, were $3.50
million.
Frenchmen will be pinched for
coal, gasoline, cotton and news
print due to the import slash, the
cabinet spokesman indicated.
Frances dollar reserves are be-
lieved below 5000 million, COM
pared with a pre-war backlog of
$2.5 billion and a postwar average
of $400 million.
Frances trade deficit for the
first 10 months of this year was
252 billion francs (S720 million)
or twice what it was for the CORE
spending period in 1850.

UNION REQUEST
FOR FIRING
HELD ILLEGAL

Kansas City, Mo. LPA) - A
union request for the discharge Of
worker, if not backed by action,
is only illegal if the company actu-
ally lets the man go, according to
81 decision by the National
Labor Relations Board.
Previously the Board ruled ~
it is not illegal for union to mere
ly request discharge if the COM
pany turns it down and the union
takes no further action, and ~
that the request becomes Illegal if
the union takes any sort Of action
to force compliance by the company
no matter what the outcome.
The latest ruling, saying the re-
quest is illegal if complied with by
the company without protest and
without further action on the part
Of the union, involves Local 101,
AFL Operating Engineers and the
Sub Grade Engineering Co.
The company was draining the
site for an electric power station
and hired all the available 140
members belonging to Local 101.
1t them took additional help from
subordinate Local 101-B. A "trade
rule" dating back to 1884 gave
Local 101 men preferred status in
layoffs over Local 101-B members
with no regard to seniority.
Near the end Of the draining job
the company agreed to a 101 re-
quest and laid off members Of
101-B while keeping Local 101I
members on the job who had less
seniority. NLRB decided the re-
quest in this case caused" the dis
charges and ordered the company
and union jointly to pay two men
who filed charges for back wages
for the remaining month the pro-
ject lasted after their dismissal.

their patience is sorely tried and

Driver Monoring
Typo Picket Line
Ordered Retired

Rockville Center, NY (LPA)-A
newspaper truck driver fired when
he refused to cross a Typographical
Union picket line has been ordered
reinstated by National Labor Re
lations Board trial examiner.
Charles Waugh, driver for Rock
away News Co., baked at crossing
the line in front of the Nassau
Daily Review Star in March, 1850.
He offered to carry the papers if
they were brought to him beyond
the picket line, but was fired.
His rehiring was directed by the
examiner because a legitimate
picket line is a form of protected
activity" under the Hartley
act and because 'the fact that
Waugh was not a member fof the
picketing union is immaterial."
The company contended it had a
contract with the Newspaper and
Mail Delivers Union containing a
"no strike" clause and Waugh could
be fired because he violated that
clause. The trucking company also
said Waugh was in violation of the
"partial strike" doctrine of TIL by
wanting papers delivered beyond
the picket line.
Trial examiner Lee J. Best ruled
the preferential hiring clause of
the contract between Rockaway
News and the Delivers Union was
illegal, that the Saving" clause
didn't "save" the contract and that
the entire document was
illegal. He extended this reason
ing to say, in effect, that the "no|
strike clause was part Of an illegal
and could not be used
against Waugh.
He ordered Waugh rehired, but
left up in the air the question of
whether a ''no strike" clause in al
contract can be used
against a worker who refuses toI
cross the picket line of anotherI
union.

|AT&T Earnings
At AII-Time High

New York (LPA)-The Bell Sys-
TENS 1850 profits were the highest
in its history. The profit figure for
the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. and subsidiaries was
1855, ,866, 1924 in 1850 against $780,
756,005 in 1949.
Leroy A. Wilson, AT&T pres
ident, called these record earnings
reasonable, said wages were
'fair" but higher rates are needed
not only to meet rising costs but
"to provide a reasonable return"
The 1850 earnings per share were
S12.5S against 1910 in 1949. The
Communications Workers pointed
out time and again during recent
negotiations that the wages of tele-
phone workers have fallen far be-
hind those in other industries.
The profit story for other corp
orations was almost as bright.
Sales of Radio Corporation of Am
erica hit new high. Profits were
up "a percent. Westinghouse Elec-
trio Corp. had the highest profits
in history. Pacific Mills reported
banner year, and admitted its pro-
fits would have been 154.8 percent
over 1949 if the firm had not
changed its method of inventory
valuation because of the extra
ordinary" increase in raw wool and
cotton costs.
The Avco Manufacturing Co. in
creased sales 81 percnet, but more
than tripled it's earnings. Profits
of NJ. A. Hanna (mining and ship
ping) set new records.
Cluett, Peabody G. Co. increased
profits 154.7 percent on a sales
gain of only 2 percent, explaining
it was due to improved operating
efficiencies and reduction Of oper-
ating costs"
Sales and earnings of the De-
troit Steel Corp. were the highest
in history. Union Carbide & Carbon
also set records. Sales and earnings
of Continental Can were the high
est in history.
Sales of Robertshaw-F Fulton Con-
trols Co. went up 70 percent but
profits jumped III percent. Pro-
fits of the Scovill Mfg. Co. more
than tripled. Timken Roller profits
were almost 400 percent over 1949.
Calmet & Hecle Copper turned a
1949 deficit of S697,027 into 1850
profit of $3,S43,434.
