LEWIS SAYS NOT WORRIED
 NEW YORK, July 26.-President John H. Lewis of the United Mine Workers expressed himself today as not at all worried over the attempts of consummers to relieve the coal shortage by importations from the British Isles. He asserted that no ap preciable amount of coal could be brought into the United States in such manner, and as far as affecting adversely the chances of the miners winning in the present struggle it would be an abortive effort. In his statement he said: "The importation of British coal to avert a fuel famine in America is so apparently futile and absurd as to constitute a huge joke" Lewis pointed out that the unloading capacity of all docks on the American seacoast in a year is far less than the monthly production of coal in the United States under normal conditions.
