cluding. in particular, the di-
rector of the Federal mediation
and conciliation service.
The director of the Federal
Mediation and Cancellation
Service has impressed me most
solemnly with the probable con-
sequences to coal production of
upholding the Wage Boards
decision, and has urged the
approval of this contract.
The overriding consideration
to my mind is not the danger
that there would otherwise be
a work stoppage. but rather that
the situation it would cause
would be one the Government is
not equipped to meet and re-
solve promptly.
There are, at present, un-
usually large stocks of coal
above ground. A work STOP
page in the coal industry, while
adversely affecting some parts
of the economy, would not i'm
medlately cause national
emergency in which the Gov
ernment would be authorized to
act. The stoppage would have
to continue for some time be-
fore any Government authority
could be invoked.

Eastern Airlines today began

Unwilling to Provoke
Crisis for Successor

Such an emergency would
arise at just about the time my
successor took Office. I am not
willing to take an action that
will create such a crisis for my
successor.
In making my decision, I
realize I am rejecting the rec
concentrations of the top Off
cials of Government concerned
with stabilization-the Wage
Sterilization Board, the admin
istrator, Economic Sterilization
Agency and the director of de-
fense mobilization. Much as I
regret the necessity for doing
that, I believe considerations
outside stabilization are of ma
jor Importance in this matter.
I am therefore directing your
agency to approve the bitumi-
nous coal wage agreement as
negotiated.
I recognize the fact that ap-
proval of the additional 40
cents per day in the miners
wages could have an unfavor-
able effect upon stabilization,
but I am convinced that it will
not be a serious effect if the
special circumstances under
which it is approved are clearly
understood.
On the price side, I under
stand from the testimony you
received from the operators
representatives that since btu
minous coal is now selling gen.
orally below ceilings the pro-
ducers would find little practical
benefit in seeking higher price
ceilings as a result of this action
because very few of them could
collect those higher prices in
the market place. So that while
the cost of producing coal would
rise by perhaps 5 or cents a
ton, the effect on ceilings would
be slight.
AS for it's influence on other
wage levels and on collective
bargaining generally. I am also
convinced the effect would be
slight. Every one is cognizant
Of the difficult conditions under
which coal miners work and
live. Every one knows that the
wage increases customarily given
coal miners are, as a practical
matter. discounted by other
workers who have never envied
the miner his hazardous, un-
pleasant and unhealthy work,
his living conditions in isolated
communities and his sporadic
employment. The same reasons
which keep other workers from
wishing to become coal miners
also keep them from expecting
Or their employees from offer

every increase the miner re-
ceives. They know that for all
of his r-than-average

Decision Won't Affect
u. S. Economy Seriously

These were among reasons
put forward by both the opera
tors and the union for approval
OF their contract. Standing
alone, these reasons do not, in
my judgment. afford sufficient
ground for overruling the wage
boards decision from the point
OF view of Stabilization. But
they do reinforce my belief
that my decision will not have
serious inf1ationary effects upon
wages and upon the economy
generally.
Both you and Mr.. Fowler
have made a vigorous and con-
vincing case in favor Of the de-
ciSion you had planned to make
to uphold the wage board. But
because of the exceptional sit
uation involved here, I cannot
accept your recommendation.
I know this will create some
problems for the stabilization
program and I deeply regret
that. I am impressed by the
outstanding job the stabiliza-
tion agencies have done under
severe handicaps during the
past % months in containing
the inf1ationary pressures in
our economy.
This case presents a unique
situation. My decision should
not be interpreted as establish
ing any new pattern or policy.
expect you and the other Of
flcialS administering the stabil-
ization laws to continue to do
as well as you can, within the
limits set by Congress, to hold

pie.

Byrd Defends Mailing
OF Political Literature
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE. Dec. 4.-Presi-
dent H. c. Byrd of the University
of Maryland has filed an answer
to an injunction suit charging that
the use of university facilities fol
mailing political literature Is
illegal.
DR.. Byrd replied in a demurrer
to the suit by Baltimore Attorney
Hyman Pressman that the "ac.
tions complained Of are not
Illegal"
Mr.. Pressman's taxpayers suit
alleged that the use of the Col.
lege of Agriculture facilities to
prepare and mail Democratic
Party campaign literaure was
against Maryland law.
The answer was filed by Edward
ID. E. Rollins. Maryland Attorney
General. It stated that Mr.. Press
man has not shown direct damage
to himself and that DR.. Byrd is
not the proper person to sue. since
the university is run by board
of regents.
It further stated that the ques-
ton lis moot" since the actions
complained of took place in the
past, and consequently no injunc.
ton restraining such activities is
necessary.

Text of Trun1on's Directive on Miners Wooes

The tert of President Tru-
n1an'S dvectipe granting the full
$1.90-G-dGy 1DGge increase for
the Bituminous Coal Operators
Association and the United Mine
Workers as announced by Eco.
nonlic Stabliser Roger L. Put
nam:
Dear Mr.. Putnam:
AS you know, I am doing all
that ! can to assure an orderly
transition Of the heavy respon-
sibilities of Government to the
new administration in as calm
and stable an atmosphere as
possible. I am particularly
anxious to avoid the develop
ment of any major economic
disturbances which could not be
resolved satisfactorily during
my remaining tenure in Office.
You have had before you in
the bituminous coal wage case
a matter which could lead to
such a situation. The Bitumi-
nous Coal Operators Association
and the United Mine Workers
of America signed an agreement
on September 20. 1852. effective
october !. extending their 1850
contract for at least IL months
and amending it to provide an
increase in wages Of $1.90 per
day. The Wage Sterilization
Board, after extensive study and
hearing. ruled that only $1.50
per day of the increase was ap-
provable under stabilization
policy. Both the operators and
the union subsequently appealed
to you to overrule the board and
permit the payment of the full
amount of the negotiated in
. crease. You have heard the
case and discussed it's ramifica-
tions with me.
From a stabilization stand
point, there are many reasons
for upholding the decision Of
the Wage Sterilization Board
and disallowing payment of the
disputed 40 cents per day Of the
agreed-upon wage increase.
These stabilization considera-
tionS are important.
The stabilization program is
a vital part of our defense mo-
bilization program, in turn, is
vital to our security. We cannot
carry through on our essential
defense program without effec-
tive stabilization. It is therefore
my firm intention to continue a
strong stabilization program and
turn it over to the new adminis-
tration as functioning, effec-
tive entity. If the new admin
istration then wants to scrap
price. wage, salary and rent con-
trolls, 1t will be free to do so on
its own responsibility. But it
should be in a position to decide
this important issue on the basis
of a calm appraisal of the situa-
ton IN calm atmosphere-and
not be pushed into hasty de-
cision by the existence of an
economic crisis.
Evening star., 1952-12-04
Issues Go Far Beyond
Sterilization Problem

The issues in the coal case
certainly affect stabilization,
but they go far beyond stabili-
zation considerations. The de
cision in this case must not
only recognize the Importance
of continuing stabilization as an
effective program, but must also
face up to problems completely
apart from stabilization which
are involved in the transition
from this administration to its
successor.
In view of my concern on this
point, and in view of the fact
that the decision you had
planned to make would not. in
my opinion, have met the re-
quirements of this unique sit
uation. I feel it is necessary for
me to exercise the final au-
thority in the coal case. The
ultimate responsibility is mine
in any event.
AS you know, have made a
careful review of all of the facts
in the case and have had full
discussions on it with you and
other Government officials, in
