orators encountered difficulty reach
ing agreement on counterpropos-
ais to John l.. Lewis Is contract
demands.
The postponement came as the
National Labor Relations Board an
nounced plans to poll 400, 900 bitumi-
nous mine employees March % In
the largest strike vote ever taken.
Operators spokesman promised a
full slate of counterproposals by to-
morrow as some friction between

United Mine Workers new demands
might be set aside finally by the
operators.
The two groups are endeavoring

expires March 81 -
Undecided on Action.
NLRB announced plans for the
Nation wide poll after formally
turning down petition OF Southern
operators to call off the strike vote
requested by Mr.. Lewis February &c

Southern group still was undecided
whether to seek court action to halt
the poll on grounds that no dis
pute" exists with the miners.
The board estimated at $500, 00C
the costs of the miners poll on the
question; do you wish to permit
an interruption of war production in
wartime as result Of this dispute?'
The Government will pay the bill.
Approximately 1000 special agents
will be hired for at least three days
at $l180 a day to handle the vote.
NLRB promised that results would
be announced March 20.
Vote on Own Time.
The board said arrangements are
being made so there will be no
stoppage of coal production while
the vote Is taken, and miners are
expected to vote on their own time,
either before or after working
hours
Unless the operators successfully
carry the matter to court. only Mr..
Lewis can call of the poll. Edward
r. Burke. president of the South
ern Coal Producers Association, has
said, however. that he fully ex-
poets" Government seizure of all
soft call mines in advance of the
strike vote unless some means was
