NEW YORK, April 5-Operators

ordered the drafting today of a
contract designed to end work
stoppage which for nearly a week
paralyzed production Of the Ma
tons soft coal and made 100000
miners idle q
However. Southern coal operators
said there was no possibility of their
becoming a party to the contract,
since it would be unfair to their
employees. their communities and
financially disastrous to their oper-
ating companies"

tract would provide basic wage

Informed sources also said that
Northern operators were prepared
to sign the agreement Monday, at
the risk, if necessary, of causing
a schism in the Appalachian con-
ference.
The proposed contract, according
to D. H Morton. president of the
Kanawha Operators Association,
would increase the basic day wage
in the South from 9 per cent to
II per cent more than the pro-
posed increase in the North. This
would inevitably result in loss of
tonnage for the South with all of
the attendant results"
The statement said that the 13
Southern fields produce approx
mately 100000 tons of coal per
month, and this proposed wage in

to grant an II per cent advance

PITTSBURGH, April 5. The
CT. Steel Workers Organizing
Committee tonight ordered it's
members in all steel mills of the
giant United States Steel Corp,
employing more than 100000
wage earners, to stop work at
midnight next Tuesday.
The union disclosed negotla-
tions for wage increase and
other benefits have collapsed.
Philip Murray, c. I, o. president
and chairman of the Steel Workers
Organizing Committee, telegraphed
instructions to local union units Of
the corporation to establish con-
tinuous picket lines at all plant
gates.
The company produces more than
one-third of Americas steel, an
amount exceeding all of that made
in England. 1t holds millions OF
dollars in defense contracts.
Mr.. Murray termed the cessation
of work a lockout" rather than a
strike, on the grounds the company
had rejected his suggestion 1t con-
tinue negotiations, which began
March 20, another week, with any
agreement to be retroactive to April
!. The company was said to be
willing to make the agreement re-
troactive only to April 8.
Local Union Leaders Called.
The sudden development, threat
ening to spread the Nations strike
area to the vital steel industry,
came during an interim of wage
negotiations, which still are sched-
uled to be resumed Monday at
10 am The Labor Department i'm
mediately assigned DR.. John r.
Steelman, who has been working in
New York on the soft coal negotla-
tions. to the steel dispute.
Mr.. Murray called in 100 local
union leaders today for conference.
It was the third such meeting since
the union made known its nine
point demands, which included a
wage boost of 10 cents an hour, a
closed shop, check-off of union dues
by the company, liberalized vaca-
tions and establishment OF seniority
rights.
The company's minimum pay, es-
tabliShed in 1887, is 62l2 cents an
hour, with the average pay OF wage
earners about 81 cents an hour.
This contract expired April l and
was extended to April 3.
The companys original counter
offer of a 212 -cents-an-hour wage
raise was rejected by Mr.. Murray.
Tonight it was learned this offer
had been raised to five cents an hour
but again was refused by the union.
Peaceful Picketing Ordered.
The company contended it made
but S60,000,000 of its S102, 900 600
profit last year in its steel plants.
The other profits came from coal,
cement shipping and other subsldl-
aries. The company has insisted 1t
cannot increase wages without in
Creasing the price of steel. The
Government has firmly refused to
sanction any such price boost.
In his instructions to local unions,
Mr.. Murray said:

mitted unsatisfactory counter pro-
posals with respect to each of the

vigorously waved by the Gridiron

arms.
The dinner closed on strong
note of British-American unity typi-
flying the complete change in re-
lationS between the two countries
from 1776 down to ''1776 H. R." A
chorus of British redcoats and an
