Volume MANY LAWSUITS III STRIKE DAMAGES Four Teams Fighting FATHERS IN EAST ENTANGLE BOTH LEWIS, OPERATORS For Top Position In CARBON TO BE ing with coal production in nonunion mines. Actions initiated by coal operators against Lewis include various damage claims filed against the union in Virginia, Alabama, Ohio and Kentucky seeking millions of dollars. Most of these damage suits, filed both in the state and federal courts, claim losses because of the three-da- y week. Beyond all this litigation is a series of suits pending in the federal courts here based on administration of the unions welfare fund. Payments out of the one-ti$100,000,000 fund have been suspended since September when the fund ran short of money. One of these is a suit by a former union member, G. H. Liven-goo- d, asking for removal of Lewis and other trustees over the fund and for restoration of any money found to have been unlawfully dissipated. A retired miner in Kentucky, John Preston Hickey, has sued there to direct the trustees to pay him a pension. The trustees themselves have sued a number of coal firms claimup. At least four state courts in ing they refused to pay the 20 West Virginia, Kentucky and Ar- cent tonnage royalty on coal prokansas have issued injunctions duction required by the former against the union from interfer union contract.

Per Copy 5c Dragerton, Utah, Tuesday, January 24, 1950 John L. Lewis and his lawyers are deep in lawsuits largely based on their miner unions tactics in the tangled coal dispute. The list of legal actions against Lewis and the United Mine Workers unions ranges from multimillion dollar damage claims to injunction pleas. Topping the numerous separate suits is one brought here by Robert N. Denham, general counsel of the National Labor Relations board, seeking to stop the current week. mine strikes and three-da- y This proceeding is due to be heard Thursday. Lewis and his union are charged with making demands illegal under the law on coal operators. Denham claims the work stoppages and shortened work week are devices by which Lewis seeks to club mine owners into acillegal contracts. cepting The present coal controversy is nearly eight months old. Lewis, seeking a 95 cent daily pay boost for the miners and a 15 cent crease in the tonnage royalty for thhe miners welfare fund, has succeeded in getting only a few small operators to agree.
