reorganization program-granting

ecutive assistants to aid him in
keeping in close touch with the
far-flung Government establish

Meanwhile, in Washington,
Lewis declared: .
"The strike Is 100 per cent

Suddenly revealing a trump
card in his contest with two union
defiant steel empires, John L.
Lewis today moved to close the
companies plants by shutting off
their coal supply.
The chief Of the Committee for

simultaneously Lewis called on
the Federal Government to close
