for his United Mine Workers.
An operator disclosed that the
producers had agreed unanimously
TO tell Lewis that they would
grant, with notifications, only his
demands for increased Vacation
pay, shift dfferentials and portal

Among the demands rejected was
Lewis request for a 10 cents a ton

backs down considerably in the

The producers reply was SEIZED
uled to be given at the resumption
of joint wage negotiations. The
present contract expires March 81.
TIL 100000 bituminous miners will
be polled March % on whether
they want to strike TO enforce
their demands.
The operators agreed TO grant in
creased vacation pay and shift diff
ferentials Hp to the limits estab-
lished for such fringe wage awards
by Fred NJ Vinson. former econ
omic sterilization director. This
would mean two weeks vacation
for miners with five years service
and premium pay Of four cents an
hour for second shift work and
eight cents for the third shift.
Lewis asked 500 vacation pay
for all his miners who now re-
ceive $50 in lieu OF one week S
