LEWIS CONTINUES
 HIS INDICTMENTS
Insists Conspiracy Has De-
 pressed Mine Industry

Washington. March R - Con- tinuing hts scorching indictment of the bituminous coal industry. John L. Lewis. president of the United Mine Workers. today again attrt- buted conditions in the coal fields to q conspiracy among the railroads to depress miners wages. Testifying before the senate interstate con- merce committee. he said. ''the walls and lamentations that rise from the women and children Of the fields seem to have no effect on the leaders who direct the policy of the railroads" Lewis submitted to Chairman Watson. for the record. an original copy of the Jacksonville wage agreement between miners and operators. saying:
 This ts the contract which was violated. abrogated and trampled upon by the Pittsburgh Coal com- pany and others in that region"
 The union leader also entered sta tistics of declines in coal prices paid by railroads, which he said was a result of the railroads cam- paign to depress wages at will"
 ''The story of their success if written in the degradation in the coal fields of Ohio. Pennsylvania and West Virginia" Lewis declared. Answering Senator Wheeler. dem- ocrat Montana. the miners execu- tive said he understood that the Pittsburgh Coal company was a Mellon concern" Lewis mentioned Secretary Mellon as a former di- rector" of the company and said that he understood interests were also held by R. B. Mellon. the Mel lon National bank and the Union Trust company. the latter Mellon concerns"
 Lewis told Senator Gooding. re- publican, Idaho. that the methods of mining in America were wasteful and constituted q great handicap to the industry.
 Lewis gave a picture of "pauper- ized conditions" among miners in Pennsylvania and West Virginia fields, citing the company stores" as places where wives of miners often spend the money earned by their husbands as fast as it is made. In the West Virginia field Lewis said wives have stood beside the place where coal is hoisted. to wait until load mined by their hus- bands or sons comes up, so that credit for the work might be enter ed on the record.
 "They then go to the store and spend those wages for beans and bacon and coffee,' he added.
 Lewis said that W. C. Warden. chairman of the board Of directors of the Pittsburgh Coal company. had told him in 1925 that he want cd to make good record on his job and the best way to do it would be to get a wage reduction, which action. Lewis said. meant ito ex- tort from the wages of miners ad- ditional profits for the Pittsburgh Coal company"
 Lewis said Warden told him R. B. Mellon had had q bad year in 1924" and that Warden wanted to help make up for that after having been elected chairman of the boar6
 Denial of Lewis charges was made by C. F. Lester. vice president of the Pittsburgh Coal company.
 Senator Wheeler, democrat, Mon tana. asked Lester who held stock in the Pittsburgh Coal company, but the witness said he was unfa- miliar with those records He as- sured the committee that he would get the records at it's disposal
