| Jenner Says Decision In Lewis Case Isn't Solution to Problem
Landis Blames Southern Operators For Failure to Get New Coal Contract By DANIEL M. KIDNEY

WASHINGTON, March 7.—Outlawing “paralysis strikes” still is No. 1 priority in the 80th congress and the supreme court decision in
FRIDAY, MAVCH a ne

the John L. Lewis coal case has not changed that fact.
That is the opinion today of Indiana members of -both the senate and house labor committees. These committees will draft the new
labor law.
Senator William BE. Jenner =| Ind) js a member of the sen labor committee before which a Lewis appeared today. He commented on the supreme court de-| cision by pointing out that congressional action still is imperative. Shared by Landis That viewpoint was shared also by Rep. Gerald W. Landis (R. Ind.),

Therefore, a similar situation of striking against the government could not se. It is up to us to act to "protect the public against strikes endangering health and security. © “It ‘would be wrong for public apathy to follow this court decision, based on the false idea that no congressional action is needed now. The Lewis case was one of contempt of court. It dealt with =a peculiar set of circumstances, unlikely to occur again.
Need New Laws
“It makes clear the fact that new|. labor laws are needed to keep 140]
million American people from being stymied by a well-organized few.” Mr. Lantis said that the court decision makes his proposed labor legislation “almost mandatory.” “He has a8 bill which would empower the President to seize mines, utilities or other industries, if strikebound, - after arbitration failed. Profits would be paid to owners except in the case of a lockout.
“This court decision clearly points}
out that when such properties are
seized for the public welfare the|c
strike is against the government,” Mr. Landis said. ‘Labor by Compulsion’ Both he and Senator Homer E. Capehart (R. Ind) have made speeches from the house and senate floor urging the United Mine Workers and operators to get together on a new contract and drop government operation, “1 think this advice is more to the point than ever right now,” Sengtor. Capehart said. Senator Capehart sald the decision means “we now have labor by compulsion and makes it more important than ever that the senate commerce committee hold nearings immediately to determine when the government will return the mines to their owners. “The situation now is that the government is operating the mines,
the operators are taking the profit|good
and the miners are compelled by the supreme court to work,” he said. - “They dare not strike.” Mr. Landis blames southern operators for failure to negotiate so far.
operating scab mines,” he said, “and they are depending on congress to help them do so. But in my opinion we will ‘never outlaw either the closed shop or industrywide bargaining.”

Suit floats at an angle of 10 degrees from the vertical and will be invaluable for injured or unconscious flyers, say officials at Wright Field, Dayton, O., where suit was designed.
