LEWIS IS PEEVED
 < AT OPERATORS
Doesn't Think They Want to
 Avert WalkOut

Atlantic City. \. J.. Aug tPl- Calling for an end to three weeks of Shadow boxing" and 10 "pleading 6 case before a jury of supernumer- aries" John L. Lewis, president of tho United Mine Workers demands that the principal anthracite mine operators meet him in conference next Tuesday to negotiate new working agreement.
 The virtual ultimatum was served by letter yesterday on Samuel D.. Warriner. chairman of the anthra- cite operators conference. R. Lewis demanded that Mir. Warriner, a vet eran negotiator, and w. J. Richards, president of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron corporation. attend the conferences because the present operators committee with one exception was composed Of "les- ser executives" with no power to act.
 Mir. Lewis statement was taken 10 mean that If the recognized operat- ors' leaders failed to appear Tues day, the mine workers would break off negotiations with the possibility of a suspension of works September 1.
 [ At Lancaster, Pa, Mir. Warriner, commenting on the letter of Mir. Lewis said the personnel of the oper- ators' committee would not be changed. It had full power to sign any contract, he said, implying that 1t was not for Mir. Lewis 10 pick the operators committee.
 "The atmosphere of indifference and mystery at Atlantic City has Justly been criticized by the metro poltan press" Mir. Lewis wrote. "1t has also caused the miners repre- sentatives to believe that the opera tors are not desirous of concluding ton of operations September 1. but gre engaged In form of shadow boxing.
 'I should be pleased indeed If you and Mir. Richards would deign 10 be present when the conference recon yenes Tuesday. It would give the mine workers reasonable assurance that they were not pleading their case before a jury of supernumerar- les. The action might also go far to convince the public that 1t was not being gulled by being compelled to witness a dress rehearsal of an amateur theatrical,
 "If 1t should then develop that the lesser executives have correctly set forth the position of the opera tors, # would the more quickly en- able the miners representatives to effect a discontinuance of the farce"
 W. ". Inslis president ot the Glen Alden Coal company the ex- ception on the operators commit tee mentioned by Mir. Lewis. placed the blame for the delay In negoti- ations on the mine workers, because Of the deliberateness with which they presented their case and the irrelevant matter introduced by them.
