Ceed Davis,

Indiana politicians today discussed
the fact that John L. Lewis. presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers.
IS being considered a sa successor to
James J. Davis. secretary Of labor
IN the Coolidge cabinet.
Tt is understood that Davis will
resign to give mis- entire time to his
fraternal organizations.
Ellis Searles. editor Of the United
Mine Workers Journal, said that al
though he had heard nothing definite
on Lewis being selected for the Cabi-
net postfolio. he would not be sur
prised TO see Lewis named No
doubt the President will consider
suggestions from organized labor.
and If a labor representative IS Sc
lected Lewis would be a logical man.
Searles said.
Searles said Lewis had been
doomed for the position IN a recent
issue Of a mine workers magazine
Lewis is a member of the national
advisory committee of the Republic

compiled by the Indiana Trade Bu-
