Lewis Says "Let
Labor, Employer
Battle It Out"
WASHINGTON, (AP) - John L. Lewis says any new labor law ought to cover only a few fundamentals--leaving labor and management free to battle out their problems as best they can.
In a copyrighted interview published by U. S. News and World Report, the weekly news magazine,
Lewis said he would prefer no replacement for the Taft-Hartley law if it is repealed.
But if there has to be a labor law, the United Mine Workers chief said it should be a miniature of the old Wagner Act: It should bar only a few unfair labor practices like (a) interference with the right of workers to organize unions, (b) "the use of privately armed forces to enforce policies." and (c) use of court injunctions in labor disputes.
