COAL OPERAIORSI SUE MINE UNION ON TRADE STOPPAGE CAMBRIDGE, O, Jan. 6—®— Five Ohio coal mining companies today filed five suits in common pleas court asking nearly $8,000,000 damages from John L. Lewis and other United Mine Workers union leaders individually, and the union treasury. The same companies filed com- panion suits against the members of the union asking court injunc- tions to kar them from abiding by Lewis’ three-day work week. Filing the suits were the Pitts- burgh Consolidated Coal Co., the Warner Colleries Co., the Y. and O. Coal Co., the Jefferson Coal Co and the Cadiz Mining Co., all of eastern Ohio. The firms asked damages on the basis of tonnage lost by various miner strikes and work stoppages. They estimated the loss in 1949 at 7,000,000 tons. The suits were filed under Ohio’s Valentine Act, which prohibits re- straint of trade. Ohio’s Valentine Act is more than a score of years old. It, in effect is a state-wide anti-trust act.
