Congressman Seeks Law to Restrict Payments - by

Employers to Amounts Due as Wages.

By PAUL R. LEACH Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, May 10.—To pay or not to pay royalties to labor { unions—that is one of the biggest questions in chaotic industrial relations today. : John L. Lewis has told the bituminous coal operators, the govern- | ment and the country that his paralyzing strike will continue until the | operators agree to pay his United Mine Workers 10 cents’ a ton TOyAlty. On the basis of 1945 production | ————— lot soft and hard coal, this would employers te the union,

Edward R. Burke, former, Ne- es braska senator, ‘president of the southern coal producers and principal spokesman for the industry, says the operators will never pay it. ‘They have offered higher wages shorter hours. Rep. Robertson (D. Va) has a bill before the house judiciary com- | mittee, which he believes will pass {the house, to outlaw all collections by unions from employers: other {than wages. Power to Tax Meanwhile, what Mr. Burke calls “the power to tax” and which he 'insists should be exercised only by government, is being applied to union-employer relations in a number of outstanding cases. All of these, Mr. Robertson says, would | be outlawed by his hill. | In first hearings on the Robertson bill representatives of the National Assbeiation of Manufacturers, ih U. 8. Chamber of Commeree andl other employing groups clear in their testimon: the coal royalty is paid. and held legal by the courts nothing] stands in the way of similar eollec- | tions in every other industry. This could be a political as well | as a welfare fund, they say. Royalty Agreement | The most outstanding royalty | agreement now in effect is that! i between James C. Petrillo’s Ameri- | can Federation of Musicians (A.} {P. of L) and manufacturers of | phonograph records | According to industry sources, that | will amount to about $1,500,000 this | year, The record companies are not paying royalties on disks recorded! prior to royalty agreements, How- | lever, as recordings under the] agreement increase, the Petgillo | {fund easily can amount to $3,000,000 | {or more a year, industry sources | say. According to Robert A. Wilson, | Washington attorney for the mu{siclans, the primary purpose of {this fund is to find employment {for musicians displaced from jobs {by mechanical devices. .One pro{posal is joint union and city financing of park concerts { The fund is administered entirely iby the union. Accounting is made to {the union membership. { { Decca, Capital and other smaller] {producers signed up almost three {years ago. Columbia ahd RCA Vic-. {tor signed up in November, 1944, {All pay from one-fourth of 1 per {cent to 2 per cent on records selling {retail up to $2. For records over $2 {list they pay 2! per cent. { The royalties are paid by the com{panies to the union twice a year. Statements are made and checks mailed, just as the companies pay {income tax to Uncle Sam.
