Wins Verdict
Against UNIV

hNOAV1LLE, 1enn., May zU
(AP).-I a case that may make
legal history, a Federal court
jury has ruled the United Mine
Workers Union violated the
Sherman Antitrust Act.
1t was the first time, so far
as lawyers in the suit have been
able to determine, that a labor
union has been adjudged guilty
of antitrust violations on a
national scale.
The jury yesterday awarded
a 100000 judgment to a small
East Tennessee coal mine firm
which had brought the civil
action against the powerful
Mine Workers Union and the
trustees Of the UNIV Welfare
Fund. Under antitrust laws
the judgment is automatically
tripled to $270,000.
Conspiracy Charged
Phillips Brothers Coal Co., q
now defunct partnership, sued
the union and the funds
trustees charging they con-
spired with large coal producers
to monopolize the soft coal
industry and force small firms
out Of business.
The firm said the alleged
conspiracy began in 1850 and
was carried out through the
1850 bituminous coal wage
agreement, still the industry's
basic contract.
While labor unions normally
are exempt from antitrust
laws, as Judge Robert L. Tay-
lor put it in his charge to the
jury. IF a union aids and abets
businesses and firms" in at
tempting to restrain trade, the
union comes under the juris-
diction Of the statutes.
The jury, after 21a days of
celebrating, ruled both Defend
ants conspired to monopolize
the industry and restrain trade,
damaging Phillips.
New Trial Sought
UNIV attorneys said they
would file a motion asking the
court to set aside the jury's
verdict and direct a verdict in
favor of the union and the well
fare fund. If the motion is de-
MED, the attorneys said they
would appeal.
The case stems from an ac-
ton filed by the trustees
against Phillips seeking $50. 900
in back welfare fund royalty
payments. Under the union
contract, mines are required
to pay 40 cents per ton of coal
produced to the fund.
Phillips cross-filed. naming
both the union and trustees,
charging that the royalties
were excessive, more than the
firms profits and designed to
force small miners out Of busi-
ness.

terday the President suggested
at a meeting with a group o1
editors May 9 that the press
might want to appoint some
one in whom it would have
confidence to check with in
case questions involving ma
tional security come up"
Mr.. Salinger's remarks were
made when he was asked about
a story in the Boston Globe
The Globe story said Mr.
Kennedy had suggested that
newspapers appoint someone
from their ranks as an adviser
on publication of information
which might affect security
The adviser would be briefec
by the Government on all mat
ters of national security.
No Specific Proposal
BENJAMIN M. McKelway,
editor of The Star and preSi'
dent of the Associated Press
said In a statement that Mr.
Kennedy made no specific pro-
posals at the May 9 meeting,
attended by Mr.. McKelway
and other editors.
Mr.. McKelway'S statement
said:
"If the President made any
such proposal as that outlined
by Mr.. Salinger, he did not
make it to the committee OF
newspapermen who called on
him May 9 at the White House
LAS I recall it. the President
made some casual references to
the idea of establishing an
authority of some sort empow-
cred to answer queries from
newspapers as to whether in
formation they planned to
print would violate security.
HE did not propose, however,
to establish any such machin-
cry and the newspapermen Of
fered no comment on the idea
Had the President advanced
such a proposal, it is my i'm
preston some member Of the
newspaper committee would
have suggested that experience
in World War II demonstrated
that no form Of voluntary Gen.
sorship would be effective with
out censorship of outgoing mail
and news dispatches from the
United States"
No Further Comment
In New York, Mark Ferree
vice president Of Scripps-How-
ard newspapers and president
Of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, said he
had no comment beyond a
statement the newspaper rep
resentatives issued after their
meeting with Mr.. Kennedy.
That statement was signed
by Mr.. Ferree and by Felix r,
Mcknight, executive editor OF
Evening star., 1961-05-20

the Dallas CTex.O Times-Her-
aid and president of the Ameri-
can Society of Newspaper
Editors.
The statement said the Gov
ernment and the press COM
mittee would continue to review
the subject of the press anc
national security and would
meet again in several months
In Dallas, Mr.. Mcknight saio
yesterday:
"At no time did President
Kennedy propose censorship in
his White House meeting with
the editors and publishers.
"One brief reference was
made concerning possibility of
an advisory center for informa-
ton involving national secur.
ity, but the President did not
submit it as a firm propose
or offer a blueprint for its
operation. :"
Urges Public Statement
Lee Hills, executive editor of
the Detroit Free Press and
Miami Herald and a director
of ASNE, also attended the
meeting.
In Washington, Mr.. Hills
said:
If President Kennedy wishes
to propose a security informa-
ton screening plan such as out
lined by Mr.. Salinger, I think
he should do so publicly and
tell how individual censorship
by thousands of editors and
broadcasters would be effective
unless the Government also sets
up strict censorship at the bor-
ders of all outgoing mail, cables,
telephone calls and travel
erS :"
Further, Mr.. Hills said, "the
President made no direct pro-
posal to the committee. He did
make one casual reference to
the possibility of some kind of
advisory center on security
matters but did not discuss it
or refer to it again :"
Frank H. Bartholomew, pres
ident Of United Press Interna- =
tional, said in a statement:
1T was my feeling at the con-
clusion Of the meeting that a
program for channeliZing Wash
ington news concerning mill
tary and defense matters is by
no means a dead issue in the
Presidents mind. I did not feel
the waiter was a closed issue as
the first meeting adjourned"
Discussion Recalled
D. Tennant Bryan, publisher
of Richmond Newspapers, Inc,
and one Of the newspapermen
present at the conference, is
sued the following statement
last night:
For more than an hour, we
discussed fully with the Presi-
dent the responsibility of the
daily newspaper press for the
protection of national security.
1t was agreed that-in the alb
sence Of a declaration by the
President Of a state of ma
tional emergency-there was
no necessity for the creation
of a czar or monitor to guide
editors in questions of security.
1T is hard for me to under
stand how Pierre Salinger, who
was present throughout our
meeting with the President and
who participated in the draft
ing of the joint statement that
followed the meeting, could
say seriously that the President
made such a proposal.
"Of course, we stand ready
to renew our study of the prob
lem whenever the President
feels it necessary"
The May 9 meeting came as
a follow-up to a speech Mr..
Kennedy made to the Amerl-
can Newspaper Publishers AS
Sociation April 81 in New York.
He suggested the press con-
slider self-censorship in a deal

Gov. Albert boutwell, about the
explosive stalemate at the bus
station.
What was said wasn't re-

Gov. Patterson had told a

the will and force and equip

to all travellers in Alabama.
The statement was contrary
to what he said earlier this

tion-testing tour. in Alabama.
Later, Gov. Patterson prom
ised full protection of the law
to anyone riding buses in Ala
bama, but stood firmly on his
previous refusal to escort
buses carrying the so-called
freedom riders"
Gov. Patterson's statement
came after he conferred late
