Secret Signals
Charge in Coal
Dispute Probed
Washington, March 21 (U1) The
FBI today was investigating
charges that John L. Lewis used
a secret set of signals to keep
miners out of the pus (luring the,
recent coal strike.
Assistant attorney general H.
Graham Morison said he ordered
the FBI inquiry last Saturday af
ter readihg about the charges
against Lewis by Lloyd M. Siden
er, ousted president of a United
Mine Workers local in Canton, 111.
"I've told the FBI to make a
thorough Investigation of every
thing that has come up in the
case," Morison said.
According to published reports,
Sidener accused Lewis of using
intricate signals to countermand
the two back-to-work orders he is
sued when Federal Judge Rich
mond B. Keech told him to get the
mines back in production.
1 . Whistle Symbol
He said that after Lewis issued
his order, Bernard J. Beasley, a
UMW district board member tele
phoned him and said, "the whis
tle blew one." Beasley explained,
he said, that this meant the min
ers were to stay out of the pits.
If Lewis actually had wanted
the miners to return to work, Sid
ener said, the signal would have
been: "The whistle blew three."
Beasley has denied Sldener's
statement. Morison said he has
had no information other than
the data contained in newspaper
stories of Sldener's charge.
Morison, head of the justice de
partment's claims division, was
the government's chief attorney
in its attempt to persuade Keech
that the UMW was in contempt
of coijix for failing to obey his
order.
Keech acquitted the union of
both civil and criminal contempt.
He said the government failed to
prove the UMW had deliberately
defied his temporary restraining
order. '
The justice department Is ap
pealing the civil contempt acquit
al. It told the U. S. Court of ap
peals in a brief filed by Morison
yesterday that Lewis' orders were
a "sham and pretense and that
they "could not have been ex
pected to bring about a return to
work."
It warned that failure to punish
the union would hamstring future
court efforts to halt strikes affect
ing the national safety.

Threatening
Coal in U.S.
By Robert E. Lee
(United Prewi Suff Correspondent)
Washington, March 21 (lit Two
"laborless" fuels are threatening
to gobble up markets of the soft
coal industry, which blames its
poor competitive position on John
L. Lewis.
Operators say their future de
pends on their ability to control
production costs.
But they have a problem not
found. in the competing oil and
natural gas industries: labor rep
resents 60 per cent of coal pro
duction costs, and its price is go
ing higher and higher. Pumps
and pipes do most of the work
in gas and oil production.
Cost control is impossible with
out "free collective bargaining"
and that, coal operators say, is
impossible with Lewis at the helm
of the United Mine Workers.
Pipelines Extended
While the industry struggles to
hang on to customers, pipelines
carrying other fuels burrow deep
er into traditional coal markets.
Today, every section of the coun
try but the extreme Pacific north
west is served, in some degree,
by the spreading underground
network.
The government reports that
29,000 miles of natural gas lines
were built between 1942 and last
November. It says the gas indus
try win spend more than 53.000,
000,000 for expansion by 1952, 80
per cent of it for natural gas fa
cilities. Meanwhile, huge imports of
middle eastern and Caribbean oil
flood Atlantic seaboard markets,
driving down prices.
The interior department's bitu
minous coal advisory council con
tends that increased imports
since last 1948 have caused "sig
nificant damage" to the nation's
fuel economy.
The council says 1,000.000 bar
rels of oil displace 250,000 tons
of coal production, 250 miners and
250 railroad and other transport
workers.
