We have been told that the Taft-Hartley bill is a means by which
the country can be protected from nation-wide strikes in vital industries.
The terms of the bill do not support this claim.
Many people are under the impression that this bill would prevent
or settle a strike in the coal industry. I sincerely trust that the coal
operators and miners will soon come to an agreement on the terms of a
of
contract and that there will be no interruption the coal mining. But if
the miners and the operators do not reach agreement, and if this bill
should
it is likely that the most that could be
were to become law, the most probable result of the complicated procedures
accemplated
of the bill, would be to postpone a strike from July until October.
menior
Under this bill a work stoppage in the coal mines might be
prevented for eighty days and then, if agreement had not been reached,
the miners would be froe to strike and it would be mandatory for the
President to refer the whole matter to the Congress, even if it were
not in session.
Postponing a strike in the coal industry until the approach of
winter, when our need for coal is acute, is certainly not the way to
protect the Nation against the dangers of a shortage of coal!
The bill would not aid fair and early settlements of disputes
in vital industries.

We have been told, by the supporters of the Taft-Hartley bill,
that it would reduce industrial strife.
