Lewis Wins Again
The bitterly-fought soft coal strike
has ended at last (temporarily w-e
suspect) with formal approval of a
new contract which both boss John
L. Lewis and the mine operators ac
cepted. The triumphant Lewis then
sent his 372,000 miners back to the
| pits, saying that the “United Mine
Workers have again accomplished
the impossible’’. To the nation, the ;
pact meant the end of the months-
long struggle which in recent weeks
had put a severe crimp in basic in
dustry, especially steel and railroads.
' By the agreement the miners re-'
ceived an hourly wage increase and
t many other concessions. It will take
them years to recover w’hat they
lost in wages during the strike, and
there is no way to tell what it cost
the American public.
This means that Lewis wins again.
