OFFICIAL FIGHT FILMS
Coal - Steel Pact
Odds Rated Even
WASHINGTON, July 2—(AP)--The odds appeared
about even today that the steel industry would accept
John L. Lewis' contract terms for operating its own coal
mines,
Well posted industry sources said there is an equal
chance that steel would buck the deal made by the rest
of the soft coal industry. :
If that were to happen, the steel
industry has indicated it may sue
Lewis’ United Mine Workers union
in the National Labor Relations
Board for demanding a union shop
without a prior NLRB election.
The decision must come soon be
cause the nation’s coal miners,
now on their régular vacation, are
due to return to work next Tues
day.
Lewis’ union newspaper has
broadly hinted that the 30,000 to
40,000 miners in the steel-owned
mines may not return if the so
called “captive” pits haven’t been
signed to the new coal agreement
by then.
Such a strike would shut down
mines capable of turning out some
$60,000,000 tons of coal a year for
fueling steel mills. The industry
probably could get partial supplies
elsewhere, but coal stocks are still
short because of the six-week mine
strike last spring. ’
One reason for steel's delay in
making known its decision on the
Lewis contract seemed to be that‘
it is negotiating new wage terms
with the CIO steelworkers. There
have been reports of industry talks'
this week with CIO President
Philip Murray in Pittsburgh.
Earlier this year steel generally
adopted a policy of no wage in
creases and no price increases. It
rejected a pay boost for steelwork
ers for that reason.
But the new agreement Lewis
signed with the Commercial Coal
Producers calls for asl daily hike
in wages for coal miners, plus a
doubling of the miners’ welfare

| fund royalty to 20 cents a ton.
| Steel trade journals now are
|predicting a steel price increase,

Iworking out a wage deal of its
own,
| Shop Clause
| The “captive” mine people re
| jected the Lewis contract because
| their negotiator, Harry Moses, said
! he could not accept the union shop
clause.
Under the Taft-Hartley act a
union shop requiring compulsory
union membership is legal only
when the workers involved have
given prior consent at an NLRB
election.
But Lewis is barred from ob
taining such an election in the
mines, even though nobody doubts
he could win one, because his
failure to file a non-Communist
affidavit bars him from using
NLRB’s facilities.
The rest of the coal industry
gave Lewis this union shop with
out an NLRB election, spokesmen
saying it was the only way to keep
labor peace in the industry.
A steel decision to fight Lewis,
would put it up to the Truman ad
ministration to ‘decide whether to
seek a Taft-Hartley act injunction
lagainst a strike in the “captive”
mines. This involves the question
whether such a strike would im
peril the nation’s health or safety.
On the one hand is the need for
steel for defense and essential
civilian production. On the other
is the fact that the bulk of the coal
industry will be in full production.

Press reports to Copenhagen

Marshal Tito’s brigade.*
Western diplomais here said
they believe Tito may be play

They said he may keep Rus
sia so busy straightening him
out that she will have to ease
her pressure on the West and
the world’'s fear of war there

Belgrade dispatches to Rome
newspapers said yesterday the
Greek Guerrilla radio of Markos
Vafiades had sided with the
Cominform. They said it broad
cast a charge that the Yugoslav
Communist Party was trying to
“upset Balkan Equilibrium” by
proposing a Balkan bloc.
United - Nations commissions
have accused Yugoslavia of
helping the guerrilla fight
against the Greek government.
The Hungarian, Austrian and
British Communist parties, like
Russia’s, endorsed the Comin
form attack. All three said they
hoped the Yugoslav Communists
would correct the errors alleged.

pared text. “It is utter folly for
them to attempt to buy the peo
ple with their own tax money.”
Talmadge's attack abruptly tei
minated a 15-months “cold war”l
in which Georgia’s arch foes only
sniped at each other through the
press. Their hundreds of public
speeches were ‘‘non-political.”
“Blistering Barrage”
Today, however, Talmadge
laid down a barrage of charges
that cleared the way for
a no-holds-barred battle for the
governorship in the September &
priinary.
Talmadge is expected to an
nounce formally against Thomp
gon tomorrow.
Talmadge lashed at Thompson
as a tool and puppet of “discred
ited politicians.”
Obviously striking at former
Governor Ed Rivers, the youth
ful heir of Eugene Talmadge
shouted, to his followers:
“Never before have we seen a
private citizen take charge of the
Governor's office and operate it
for his personal gain .. .”
Hitting indirectiy at the recent
coalition of Rivers and former
Governor Ellis Arnall behind
Thompsen, Talmadge said they
“unfortunately exercise absolute
control over the present Chief
Executive of this state, but they
will see that they cannot dictale
to Georgia’s stalwart sons and
daughters.”
“Pouble-Crossing”
On highways, a perennial is~
sue, Talmadge accused Thomp
son of “deplorable and shameful”
neglect of promises to build
rural roads ‘“with this crying
need staring them in the face,”
he said; “this administration has
brazenly and impudently traded
and bartered for hundreds of
miles of short paved stretches
that start nowhere and end no
where.”
Talmadge said Thompson was
guilty of flagrantly doubie
crossing voters on virtually every
plank in the 1946 Demccratic
platform, including repeated
‘pledges to support a “white pri
mary.” Talmadge proposed tight
qualifications as his answer lo
negro voting.
He said purchase of JekyH Is
land at the “sacrifice and capri-~
cious whims” of Thompson
eventually would cost the state
$25,000,000. Then he pointedly
listed all the services which he
caid Thompson had failed to de
liver because of Jekyll: rural
roads and hospitals, old age pen
sions, expansion of the state
tubercular hospital, higher pay
for 'teachers and school bus driv
ers, and services to veterans.

every year averages about 2.9

But a Yugoslav army division

A Belgrade broadcast picked up

were demonstrating for Tito and

Democrats
Clamor For
Extra Session
| By The Associated Press
Some highly placed Democrats
began beating the drums today
for a special session of Congress
this summer — and a presiden
tial challenge to the Republicans
to deliver on their 1948 platform
promises.
GOP lawmakers generally were
cool to the idea of getting back
into harness any time sogn.
President Truman himself de
clined to comment.
Senator McGrath of Rhode Is
land, chairman of the Demo
cratic Nationla Committee, told
reporters pressure is coming from
many people for Mr. Truman to
call Congress back soon after the
Democratic Convention opening
in Philadelphia July 12.
McGrath had just issued a for=
mal blast at what he called the
“dismal failure” of the GOP
controlled 80th Congress. He said
the people will remember Con
gress’ record when they vote in
November.
Rep. Pence of Kentucky, rank
ing Democrat on the House
Banking Committee, said he is
one of those in favor of a spec
ial session call.
Favors Challenge
Declaring that “the Republiéan
platform reads like an indict
ment of the Republican Con
gress,” Spence added to news
men: |
“The President should call
Congress back and challenge the
Republicans to make good on
their platform. He should call
upon the Republicans to do
something about the high cost of
living and about housing.”
Senator Sparkman (D.-Ala.)
commented: “It would be rather
interesting to see the Republi
cans challenged to deliver on
their platforin promises which
are completely inconsistent with
the record of the 80th Congress.”
But ' Chairman Knutson (R.-
Minn.) of the House Ways and
Means Committee had this to
say:
“Nothing could be accomplish
ed by a special session, because
we rresicent would be sure te
veto anything we did. The Amer
ican people will just have to
wait until Dewey gets into the
White House.”
Governor Thomas E. Dewey,
the @OP presidential nominee,
said after last month’s Republi
can Convention he believes it
would be gn imposition on Con
gress members to call them back
at this time.
Own Problem
But McGrath said .a special
session “is not outside the realm
of possibility — it is up to the
President to do it.”
The Democrats are due to get
down to the job of writing their
owh platform next week.
Senator Francis J. Myers of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the
preliminary drafting committee,
announced that public hearnigs
will open in Philadelphia on
Wednesday. He added:
“The Democratic platform will
be a platorm of performance,
not one of mere promises.”
Mygas' announcement said the
committee’s sessions will be held
in the Rose Room of the Belle
vue-Stratford Hotel. But the
color scheme is likely ot be the
only thing rosy when the plat
form framers get around to the
subjert of a civil rightg plank.
The Dixie rebellion against Mr.
Truman for his espousal of anti
lvneh, anti-poll tax and anti-Jim
Crow legislation has led to &
wave of Southern sentiment for
