NLRb Weighs Plea
By Operators 10 Bar
Vote on Coal Strike
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The National Labor Relations
Board today is considering the petit
ton Of Southern coal producers to
call Off plans for a strike vote re-
quested by John L. Lewis for his
400, 900 bituminous miners.
There was fear among Govern
ment labor officials that the action
OF Edward r. Burke, president Of
the Southern Coal Producers As
sociation, might touch off an already
explosive mine situation. The as
sociation represents employers Of
135, 900 miners.
Mr.. Lewis withheld public COM
ment, but it was obvious from re-
marks made privately by other
United Mine Workers officials that
they were angered by the move Mr..
Burke's action was described by one
official as an attempt to "goad" the
miners to strike and torpedo" the
contract conference being held at
the Shoreham Hotel.
Hearing Expected.
At the NLRB it was said Mr..
Burke's request for a hearing on
the validity of the miners claim of
10 days ago that a dispute" with
mine operators existed probably
would be honored. 1t was expected
the board, which had been proceed
ing with plans to poll the miners
under the Smith Connally Act,
would set the hearing for next Mon
day or Tuesday.
/ Southern opef4t0fs contend1d
there should be no election for the
miners-to determine whether they
want to strike in event a new work
contract is lacking April 1--because
no labor dispute" under terms Of
the act actually exists. Mr.. Lewis
filed his claim three days before the
start of the contract conference,
charging that inspired" Govern
ment statements had prejudiced the
miners case.
The operators said mo matter
how controversial" the miners 18
contract demands may be, these fail
to meet Smith Connally dispute"
ulCdSuTCluclltS.
Ready to Seek Court Order.
Mr.. Burke indicated that should
NLRB turn him down, he would seek
a court order to restrain the board
from polling the miners.
A spokesman for the soft coal
operators said all we're sympathetic
with Mr.. Burke's position and that
others of the operators would have
Joined in the petition to NLRB had
they been asked. r.--..
The new issue was scheduled for
heated discussion today when the
miners and operators renew their
talks over Mr.. Lewis contract de-
mands. The conference, endeavor-
ing to draft a new agreement before
the present contract expires March
81, yesterday completed preliminary
discussions of all 18 demands.

single objective Of this organization
must be the preservation Of peace.
