Con r ss ut l>n no today, and th tar • s Jo n .u. L wis. This h u t in to do ith the ~upreme Court deci 1un a a1n t ~ewis and the United ' in e or~ers yesterday. Today's ~ vent had been scheduled some hie ago - an appe ranee of the mine union boas before the ~enate ~abor Committee on the subject of anti-stri~e la a. It was a draaatic coincidence tbat the date for this hap ened to • the day after the court decision, and the hearin& attracted the biggebt crowd since the••• Pearl Harbor investigation ■■ a year ago. ln his testimony ~e•i• pro ounded the question: ••hat's the ma~ter with the cokl induatry•~ Tb# he ana ered it himself. He declared that there as notbing tne matter with the coal industry except the ill-treatment of its employees, which, he maintain~d • ~s a pr~vate matter bet1een the coal operators and the United ine or~ers of ~merica. The miners, he continued, could iron out their disa~reements with the employers any time, if the ov rnment ou d only uit int rf rin , 4 to . ng the 1n rs into s bm ' a in ile the t t t f . t ,, t' r or t1 e ne ro 1 , - - s uewis expressed it. ile gave a lesture on what he called - "recent intrusions by the gov rnaent". These intrusion•, he complain d, have put a sto to collective bar~ainio1 in the coal industry. Be told the committee that there have been no negotiations bet een the miners and the owners of any cnaracter whatsoever, since a short meeting l a t ~eptember. ~e•is decl red that he had announced in December that the United ine workers ere prepared to negotiate, at any time, with either the mine -G __ ,;,t operators or the government. To that offer~he baa received no respvose hatsoever. ~art of his testimony as a prep~red statement, com only ADO n as a handout. ln that, ue is urged that if you take away the workers right to strike, you chan6e the for~ of government in America. The right of vo unteer contract is the only if r nc t e~n s rf o an freedom. lie ar ued that if la s are ssed controllin and re imenting 1 bor, i ey ould ventu y ead to bur aucratic contro not only of labor but business• also, and ould destroy our sy~te11 of private enterprise. Lewis pointed out the simple truth that, no matter ho u ny las are passed forbidding strike, there is no formula fo~ compelling men to go down into the mines if they don't ant to. Even supposing 7ou force them into the cages and the stopea, you can't compell them to work. ~enator Ball of ' Minnesota agreed with the••* beetle-browed mine c ief that outlawin& the right free soci to strike was utter s ..... ~ ty. But, aij added t ~ ~nco11patible YAX■J ■■Jali ■i, with a t some remedy must be found so that t e country il not be left at the mercy of mine ut-downs. ithout such remed, there ill be eith r compuls ry arbitration or nationalizatio _ _,_._;;,f ~. .
