In a labor union, the same principle applies. Workers need to know the facts before they vote.” Judge Sharp made the statement during arguments by attorneys yes terday afternoon of a motion brought by Emil Reive and the Tex tile Workers Union of America for access to the union records they claim James Gamer m, A.

TUESDAY AFTERNON, SEPTEMBER 30, 1952 Southern Soft Coal Contract Ends Tonight WASHINGTON HP) Southern soft coal operators ( today faced the alternative of bowing to John L. Lewis’! steep contract demands or being closed down by a stri- ] ke at midnight. Joseph E. Moody, president of the Southern Coal Producers’ As sociation, scheduled a meeting of his 29-man Board of Directors to make the decision. Some 100.000 southern diggers were poised to walk out at 12:01 a. m. Wednesday—the moment their contract ends—unless the Moody group signs with the United Mine Workers chief. RUGGED MEETING Moody warned it would be a “rugged’’ meeting and the de cision was still up in the air. He said he did not think the operators could “live with" the terms laid down by Lewis. The miners’ boss was insiting | on the same terms he won from the northern producers in a con tract formally ratified Monday. This provided for a $1.90-day wage boost and a 10-cent-a-ton increase in welfare fund payments. Lewis advised the southern oper ators to “acquiesce” to his terms and the odds favored their doing so. The cold Acts were against the Moody group. Markets for coal have been declining for several years in the highly competitive in dustry. Should the southern opera tors be closed down by a strike while northern mines continued production, the Dixie group would be certain to lose sorely needed customers. Judge To Issue Statement V CHty Judge H. Paul Strickland to day declined comment on announ cement of District Solicitor Jack Hooks that he won't appeal to the Supreme Court a case testing the validity of jrtry trials in the Dunn Recorder’s Court. The local judge promised, how ever, that he will issue a state ment within the next few days to clarify his position. He didn’t lay what day he will release the Statement. ; CONFERENCE REPORTED Judge Strickland and City Solic itor J. Shepard Bryan are report ed to have held a lengthy confer ence yesterday. Solicitor Bryan has made it clear, however, that he is taking no part in the jury trial furor, that it is a decision strictly for the judge. Judge Strickland started the fu ror sometime ago when he decided not to allow jury trials In his court. The last session of the Legislature passed a law allowing jury trials. Two Superior Court judges have already reversed Judge Strickland, who wants the issue tested in Su preme Court.
