Interesting Booklet on ReQuest · Mine Operators Fear Strike Threat in Lewis Welfare Fund Plans ly the Associated Press The fuel-conscious Nation faces a possible threat from John L. Lewis today of a Nation-wide soft coal strike by spring. Mr. Lewis told the industry yester day he feels free to "take any in dependent action necessary" to start benefit payment to miners out of their untapped,. $50,000,000 welfare fund. His cryptic note yesterday puzzled the mine operators. Some said they fear it may mean an April 1 strike by the 400,000 mem bers of the United Mine Workers' Union headed by Mr. Lewis. Lewis Has No Comment. Reached at his home, the UMW chief said only: "I wouldn't have any comment at all." The welfare fund was established in the 1947 coal agreement worked out by the Government. The oper ators agreed to finance medical, hos pital, injury, disability, death and retirement benefits from a 10-cent royalty payment on every ton of coal produced. But the fund's trustees—Mr. Lewis for the union, Ezra Van Horn for the operators and Thomas Murray of New York as a "neutral"—never have agreed on a plan to start pay ing out the money.' Situation Constitutes Dispute. Mr. Lewis is said to have urged a broad benefit plan including $100 monthly pensions for miners 60 or older. All the trustee sessions have been secret but Mr. Van Horn Is reported to have argued that Mr Lewis' proposals might cost the mine owners 40 cents a ton even tually. In his "notice" Mr. Lewis said the situation "now constitutes an out standing, unresolved dispute, na tional in scope and character, af fecting the integrity of the contract and impeding its fulfillment." This resembles wording in the contract providing for settlement ol disputes "if national In character by the full use of free collective bargaining machinery." Fails to Ask Bargaining Session. But Mr. Lewis called for no bar gauixug ocociuii. He said, instead, the union "re serves the right to take any inde pendent action necessary to the en forcement of the contract." Some operators guessed that the Lewis notice, partly because of iU timing and wording. Is intended tc meet a Taft-Hartley law require ment. That law says an employer must be given 60 days' notice be fore a labor contract can be ter minated. The present bituminous contract extends through next June, but can be opened by either party at will. If these operators are right it means that Mr. Lewis has declared the contract ended as of April 1. CAN BE FAR BEHIND!

The brief charges that the sec tion (10-J) of the law which gives the National Labor Relations Board the right to ask Federal Courts for injunctions is "repugnant to the due process clause of the Federal Constitution." It was filed yesterday in answer to a suit filed January 16 in which the NLRB asked an injunction to prevent the ITU from violating the Taft-Hartley law.

The ITU asked for a preliminary hearing on its brief. Judge Luther M. Swygert had set February 9 for a hearing on the NLRB injunction suit. Judge Swygert has not indicated when a hearing on the ITU brief will be granted. A preliminary hearing on the union's brief was asked on the grounds that "the issues may be de termined separately from other is sues in the case and that if said Issues are decided adversely to the petitioner it will make unnecessary an extensive and burdensome trial « * Φ " i racTory «urnoniea Sheaffer—Parker Eversharp—Waterman PENS REPAIRED while you wait jgfiigaÈE D.
