SIGNS UP
COAL OWNERS
By KENNETH CLARK

John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, reported to
Labor Department officials today
that he was making substantial
contracts with soft coal operators
outside the central competitive field
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
Western Pennsylvania.
Operators who sign these con-
tracts will be permitted to run their
mines after April 1 pending nego-
tiation of a wage agreement for
the central field. Lewis already had
signed up q number of outlying
operators, and hopes to have a big
majority in line when the present
agreement expires on midnight
March 81.
The big fight in the central com.
petitive field will center in western
Pennsylvania, where some opera
tors, under the leadership of the
Pittsburgh Coal Company, in which
Secretary of Treasury Mellon has
large interests, are determined upon
a finish fight. Because of the nam.
moth stocks of coal above ground,
estimated at 10000, 900 tons. oper.
ators in Illinois. Indiana, and Ohio
are planning to close down, their
mines to watch the outcome of the
battle in Pennsylvania.
The present stocks. augmented by
the coal to be produced in the out
lying fields and in the nonunion
sections Of West Virginia and Ken
lucky, viii be ample to care for
the country's needs for four or five
months, or perhaps longer, Govern.
ment officials believe.
Illinois. Indiana and Ohio oper.
ators declare that a suspension In
April is inevitable because thew
cannot operate under the union
wage rate, while nonunion mines
south of the Ohio River are having
about $3.50 a day less in wages.
