Lewis Wins Much For Miners But Coal er Pn. Rap ran.
F hiom, "Dirty" N. Y.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 21 UP
Loses Ground To Competing Fuels
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
Since 1M0 there have been 17 strikes in the coal Industry. As
many as four have occurred in one year. What has been the overall
effect of this series of walkouts?
John L. Lewis claims that in that span miners' wage rates have
risen from 88 cents an hour to $195 an hour. He points also to a
take-home pay of $73 week this year as compared with $24.71
In im
In addition, miners are now
promised $100 a month retire
ment pensions and are entitlei
to health and hospital benefits.
They get paid vacations that add
about $100 to their individual an
nual Income.
Unquestionably the miners
have outstripped other industrial
workers in benefits gained dur
ing this interval. For example,
the average hourly pay boost for
all factory employes from 1940 to
1949 is about 30" cents less than
the hike won by miners.
But there's another side to the
story. Both the Wall Street Jour
nal and the United Slates News
recently have analyzed what is
happening to the coal business as
result of its labor difficulties.
That coal has long been losing
ground to competing fuels like
oil and natural gas has of course
long been known. Probably a con
siderable part of this market loss
was inevitable.
Yet much of coal's decline in
the fuel market especially In re
cent years can be attributed di
rectly to the powerful Impact of
the United Mine Workers on the
industry. The price of coal to the
consumer is now double that of
1940. The labor cost that goes into
the mining of coal is nearly twice
that of 1942.
Although price rises have been
general in the war and postwar
period, coal has tended to race
ahead of other products. Thus
hitherto more expensive compet
ing fuels have come to look stead
ily more attractive.
There is more to it, however,
than Just higher costs. The Wall
Street Journal finds the big fac
tor these days is uncertainty over
coal supplies. Utilities, railroads,
big industrial users simply don't
wish to risk any more the pros
pect that their fuel will suddenly
be shut off.
The constant refrain: "I'm fed
up with the uncertainty of de
pending on a fuel the flow of
which John L. Lewis turns on and
off like a water faucet."
One industrialist says 90 per
cent of today's big construction
jobs call for installation of oil
burner equipment, as against 30
percent in 1939. Coal men say oil
electric diesel locomotives have
killed a market for 25.000.000 tons
of coal a year. Oil use by utilities,
though still far below coal. Jump
ed 73 peroent in the past yar.
Gas and oil are heavy favorites
as home fuels.
Coal still furnishes roughly half
the energy requirements of the
U.S. economy. But the deep In
roads of other fuels have slashed
demand for coal seriously. Lewis
found that even dropping to a
three-day work week did not cut
sharply into stockpiles. Only now
that he has gone onto a "no day"
work week are Industries begin
ning to feel a pinch.
No one is likely to suggest that
minets should have been denied
reasonable benefits while other
segments of labor were gaining.
But the facts raise the question
whether Lewis may not have act
ed from too narrow motives
without due regard for the future
of the industry that must support
his men. He has tried to move
fast, to lead the pack.
In so doing, he may have so
harmed the coal business com
petitively that the miners in the
end may not realize the full value
of the benefits they have gained.
