Lewis Hits Roosevelt
Treatment Of Miners;

HAZLETON, Pa, June 16.-John
l.. Lewis. international president of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, said today miners are contribut-
they are entitled to something bet
ter than the shabby treatment
handed out to them by the PreSi-
dent of the United States and his
administration.
Here to address UNIV delegates
called to ratify the new anthracite
wage agreement. Mr. Lewis, however
urged immediate ratification, saying
I'VE got all there was to be Sc
cured. there isn't any more-the
Government has spoken"
Signed Under Pressure.
"The operators have been re-
luctant to sign even this agreement
and did sign only because of the
pressure brought about by the Gov
ernment."
He said operators had refused to
grant single concession because
they knew they would be backed by
the Government.
Increased coal production is pri-
marily matter of manpower, he
asserted, and low wages paid miners
during the early years of the wal
resulted in many leaving the indus
try to take more lucrative jobs in
war plants.
Mr.. Lewis said the miners pro-
duction record is unprecedented in
the history of the industry
He refused to comment on the
presidential election saying only:
There are many problems I would
like to discuss today, but will await
the international convention ir
Cleveland in September to do So"
Some Opposition Expected.
Some opposition to the wage
contract-notably from a Shenan-
doah (Pa) group-was anticipated
but UNIV leaders said they were
confident delegates would follow Mr.
Lewis advice in the ratification
which would open the way for re-
turn of Government-seized hard
coal mines to their owners.
Formal signing of the contract
which affects more than 10000
miners in UNIV Districts /, 7 and 9
is expected tomorrow. Average wage
increase provided under the con-
tract it $102l2 day, including to-
tai allowances and $50 annual va
cation pay.
A UNIV spokesman. meanwhile
hastened to dispel any idea thai Mr.
Lewis plans to relinquish the unions
international presidency because OF
his age.
