A review of the strike history in recent years shows that the United Mine boss has often beat a strategic retreat just at the moment a stoppage threatened to become genuinely critical There were three truces in 1943 each followed by new strikes Another was declared in 1946 as Lewis was about to be summoned to the White House for a showdown with President Truman Similar affected Lewis' decision this time After 51 days without production coal stockpiles in many parts of the nation were getting 'dangerously low A rel emergency was approaching Hints dropped by government officials gave the chief warning that some sort of federal intervention would cer tainly be undertaken if a settlement of the strike did not develop shortly Use of the injunctive powers under the Taft Hartley law gen erally was expected in the event no accord was reached The feeling seemed to be that Lewis would ignore all ordinary back to work appeals and respond only to the compelling authority of the federal courts pressure upon Lewis to do some thing in the face of this prospect was in creased by hte wide cracks in the steel strike front wi mhtajor and minor steel makers signing up one by one it became clear their demand for coal soon would exceed the aboye ground supply Nothing but a resumption of mining could have prevented another steel stoppage in a few weeks Lewis always trying to gauge'aff fac tors in his efforts to win new gains surely must have understood thoroughly a week or so the government would be bound to move against him: The Bethlehem steel settlement started events rolling With the expectation that other firms would soon sign pension agreements Lewis nevertheless was re luctant to call off his own walkout until the pressures upon him actually develop ed He sought instead to break the coal operators solid resistance by obtaining a settlement with the Illinois and Indiana viuuulcis iie aiiemnt zai en ii av juuge num uie progress made in negotiations during the 51 day strike from now until Nov 30 is none too long a period for the miners and operators to find the necessary common ground But federal mediators well aware of the damage another strike could cause with

practically is settled and ty the weekend it is exerted allwcrkers will be back at work' But the dispute between John Lewis still master of the kline Workers Union have not been settled and operators are lukewarm on the to sit down in conference with Mr Eye brows who has treated them in a highly cavilier fashion oftifnes in the past They appeat to feeLthat this time they are in better position to resist his demands The steel strike is estimated to have cost' average worker about $400 in wages but to have won a pension of at least $100 1 per month paid for by the steel companies and the government But full pensions of $100 per month are payable onlv to work ers who retire at 65 and who have had 25 years of service with the same employer Workers who shift jobs or who die be the retirement age will not receive full pensions The Steel Workers Union won more liberal insurance benefits butthe workers must help pay for" the premiums In figuring what he got the average steel workers set his $400 loss in his possible gain in pen sions Ana it is wortn consideration that if the workers contributed to the pension Sian a system could have been worked ut whereby he would have had some thing if he 'shifted employment as there "arecompanies with contributory pensionsplans which permit the worker in case of separation from the job to take with him what he had paid in and usually with interest The average coal miner lost approxi mately $1000 in wages and before the strike was called he was on a three day work" week and wages were less than normal They were out for 52 days and 'jbad been on short pay for a considerabletime before that and reports from many 1 minincr rnrnrvMTnitiAe wora in that money had run out and that bills for ifood and other supplies had been run up with the result that debts would require some time for payment at a time when 4 money would be short because of holiday and other demands In return the miners' have receivednothing definite The operators have not' to the demands of Lewis for a'seven hour which would mean a five and one half work and an in crease of ten cents per ton in royalties for the pension fund One of the reasons for the standout is the fact that they want to have something to say about the adrnini I stration of the pension fund which they 1 make possible and which has been depleted It had dropped to such a low figure that many miners in recent week have ance xmions from closing down entire indus tries and limit bargaining to individual companies or to regional areal Certainly it difficult to figure any real gain for the majority of wprk ers idled by these strikes or the overall effect on the business and economy of the nation In view of this it would appear that some measures should be taken for the benefit not only of labor and of man agement but for that of the millions who always are hurt by such disturbances at tu oniMT 1 WMAT 1 COULDN'T TELL I HAVE I ANY tSL I I tK I THZSsl YOU ad COULD
