this was reservation, not threat,
and furthermore they emphasize
that it was an official Policy Com
mittee statement and not a per-
sonal commitment by Mr.. Lewis.
They say, in effect, that no general
work stoppage is contemplated, at
least for the present.
The WLB's refusal to approve
portal-to-portal pay of SIPS day
in a proposed agreement between
the UNIV and the Illinois Coal
Operators Association pointed up
the boards reasoning on the under
ground travel pay question.
Called Hidden" Wage Raise.
WLB Chairman William H. Davis
told a press conference yesterday
that the $l.25 was hidden" wage
increase that was mot very we'll
hidden" He said no wage increase
was due the miners under the wage
stabilization policy, and therefore
the board could not approve any
sum except what might be recov-
cred under the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act (wage and hour law. In
other words. 1t did not constitute a
genuine settlement of claims arising
under that act"
Then he added, "No claim arises
under the Fair Labor Standards Act
unless the miners working time
underground-productive time and
trn
week"
Mr.. Davis then pointed out that
the miners basic work week was 35
hours productive time) and that
this was not increased until last
January when it was raised to ~.
Points Way for Increase.
The WLB decision, however,
pointed the way for the miners to
increase their earnings by doing
eight hours of productive work a
day, instead of seven, with time and
Q half for the eighth hour.
The board took the position that
time and half after the seventh
hour is not wage increase requir-
ing board approval. For years, the
mine workers contracts have pro-
vided for time and a half for all
time in excess of seven hours in a
day.
An eight-hour day would add
$50 a day and upward to the
miners pay envelopes, but there was
.no assurance it would 60 in effect
as a result of the boards ruling.
The decision does not require the
parties to sign any contract.
The Illinois contract submitted for
board approval was voluntary, and
the parties may now discard it. One
Of its clauses, in fact, makes all pro-
visions interdependent and there
fore, imperative unless all pro-
visions are approved. Furthermore,

Lewis on Defensive
As Setbacks Force
Change in Strategy
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
Aggressive John L. Lewis Is on
the defensive.
On successive days the Govern
ment turned back SO mines to their
owners, in disregard of his unions
terms, then refused for second
time to approve portal-to portal
pay for the miners.
But the United Mine Workers
president. with a reputation for
making and exploiting opportuni-
ties, is keeping every one guessing
about his next move.
While Mr.. Lewis was silent, a
philosophical acceptance of devel-
opments was nevertheless discern
ible today among his associates.
The possibility of the United Mine
Workers Policy Committee meeting
soon was given no support, though
that has been the usual step when
Mr.. Lewis was planning new ex-
ploits.
The statutory status given the
War Labor Board, which he once
defied, the penalties for striking un-
der the new Antistrike Act and the
WLB compliance sanctions ap-
proved by the President apparently
have forced Mr., Lewis to revamp
his entire strategy. He may await
the WLB's decision on the anthra-
cite wage dispute before determin-
ing on his next move.
; The Interpretation that a turn
back of the mines to private owner
ship automatically meant a strike is
unofhcially disclaimed in UNIV cir
cles. The Policy Committees state
ment in June directed the miners
to return to work until October 81
with the proyiso that this arrange
ment would automatically termi-
nate" if the Government relin-
quished its custody of the mines be-
fore then. UNIV sources now say

there will be no recurrence of the
ice shortage unless something un-
usual happens"
Major factor in ending the short
age, dealers agreed, was cool weather
which reduced the demand and thus
permitted the manufacture OF
greater quantities.
The cool weather also improved
ice supplies in Philadelphia and
other points in the East, with the
result that quantities of ice from
out-of town now are being shipped
here. The drying-up of out-of town
sources of supply was an important
reason for the critical shortage here
in late July and early this month
since plants in the District normally
produce only about go or IS per cent
of the local demand.
Conservation Plan Helped.
Another factor in ending the
shortage here was the saving of ice
that resulted from a conservation
drive among restaurants and other
large commercial users, dealers said
The District Health Department,
meanwhile, announced today that
effective September l customers
buying crushed ice here will have
to supply their. own containers.
AS a health measure, dealers will
be forbidden to leave the ice in de-
livery bags, DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger,
acting health officer, said. All bags
must be emptied at the time of de-
livery and retained by the dealer.

Ice supplies were greatly increased
here during the cool days of last

weather dealers today expressed a
belief that the Washington area will
not again suffer from an ice short
age this year.
All the major ice companies in the
District, which since late July have
been rationing ice to their custom

have lifted the restrictions on pur-
chases. whether large
commercial or small home users
now can get all the ice they want, a
survey of dealers showed today.
THE situation is greatly improved

to stay that way until next sum-

of the American Ice Co., which pro-
duces about so per cent of all the ice
manufactured here.
Supply Is Assured.

Co., Inc, another laarge manufac-
turer, expressed the opinion that

Unconditional surrender is a
slogan whose impressive sound fails
to do away with the realities that
persist behind it." Mr. Borgese said.

King and an old soldier and their

power to an invading army and ad-

come to an unconditional surrender,
