p- 19 fl \v LEWIS’ STAND Truman Group Critical of Comment on ‘No Strike’

" Promise.

WASHINGTON, April 2 (U. P.).— The senate Truman committee investigating the war effort today called for the co-ordination of all governmental labor agencies under one responsible head and condemned John L. Lewis for asserting ‘|that his no-strike promise to the president. is not now “necessarily

binding.” “Lewis has hinted but not quite said that he reserves the right. to |determine whether government has performed its full duty to labor and that in the event he should determine that it has not, he is free to lead the coal miners to a strike,” the committee said in a special report. “No citizen has the right to jeopardize the nation’s existence in wartime. The national need must be recognized as paramount.”

‘Labor Has Come of Age’

Lewis appeared before the cemmittee last week and protested the “little steel” wage ceiling formula as a violation of labor's no-strike pledge to the president. “In the last analysis,” the committee said, “the leaders of labor must now demonstrate that they are statesmen and patriots as well as paid ‘advocates for worthy causes. * “Labor has come of age, and the country expects these leaders to recognize that labor has duties as well as “rights. Labor must not repeat the mistake of arrogant cap-

that now restrict its every act. Urge Uniform Policies

“spor. these reasons the committee condemns Lewis’ attitude. . . . The obligation which. rests upon Lewis is not an oMigation arising by contract with the president. It is an obligation to. the. United States arising out of the war emergency. | “It is. based upon. his duty as a citizen to a country which enabled him to exchange the sweat and physical toil of a. miner for the comforts and privileges of a labor

‘The committee deplored. that labor is split “into several bitterly antagonistic camps” and admitted that the present situation is made much more difficult by the existence of several separate governmental

with each other” “These various agencies and policies should be co-ordinated and stabilized under one competent, experiented and responsible head in order that the policies may be uniform throughout the United States,” the committee said. * The report said that the committee did not consider the “little steel” formula sacred, but warned that the danger of inflation is real and called for “judicial and realistic” treatment of the problem. It recalled that Lewis, while testifying, “sought to create the impression that widespread hunger

‘wages some consideration be given

“The evidence shows coal miners now working six days a week at increased wages and with overtime for the sixth day are earning 50 per cent more in dollars than they were earning two years ago when they worked only five days a week,” the committee said. The committee criticized the practice of labor leaders in citing increases in prices without recognizing the increases in wages by, reason of the longer work week and the payment of time and a half, and proposed that in determining

to the total wages received, “for they are the true measure of labor's

purchasing power.”
