MINE OWNERS
WEAKEN IN WAR
AGAINST UNIONS
Surrender by Bitter Foes of
Labor Forecast in
NRA Conference.
BY II. O. THOMPSON.
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-Issue
Of the complete unionization Of the
country's coal mines was injected
today into the NRA code discussions
between non-union operators and
labor leaders There were indica-
tons that operators would have 10
surrender in their traditional stand
against unioniSm.
John L. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers OF America.
raised the issue at the second day
Of conferences arranged by Presi-
dent Roo2velt in the adminiStra-
tons effort 10 arrive at a code for
the harassed bituminous coal in
dustry
There was definite absence Of
antagonism 10 Lewis proposals.
While the conferences were only III
the preliminary stage. the absence
of a quick bareback indicated that
Lewis had a good chance Of winning
recognition of his organization
throughout the industry
Attitude Is Reversed
Operators meeting with Lewis and
other officials OF the U. NJ. w. rep
resented more than half the indus
trys annual tonnage. Hitherto they
have fought vigorously against deal
ing with Lewis union.
The conferences themselves rep
resent a sharp reversal Of the OPP
orators defiant attitude when they
first brought to Washington an NRA
code with a clause for continuance
of the company union as means
of collective bargaining.
Lewis brought in the unionization
question during a discussion of min
imum wages and maximum hours.
He told the operators that any such
arrangements would be predicated
upon guarantee Of recognition Of the
u NJ. w. He cited past experiences
where agreements on wages were
followed by populations under cir
cumstances which the United Mine
Workers were powerless TO prevent.
Insists on Agreement
The new wage schedules. Lewis
insisted. should be backed by an
agreement that any adjustments
would be made only through bar
gaining with the organization which
he represents.
Another cause of encouragement
TO labor leaders was a plea Of Ad-
miniStrator Hugh s johnson to
southern operators. The southerners
seek to preserve wage differentials.
and retain an advantage over the
northern operators in competitive
marketing.
Johnson, reciting Mr. RooSevelt'S
wishes for early agreement in the
highly controversial coal situation
asked the southern operators TO do
everything in their power to hasten
satisfactory settlement.
Johnson asserted prolonged wran-
Cling would not be tolerated and
indicated progress was being made
