orators negotiating committee
which signed a contract with
Lewis last spring.
The agreement is for at least
one year, although it has a clause
permitting it be reopened in the
event of a change in government
wage policy.
That policy has been changed
with the end of the war, and Lewis
could call for new negotiations or
10 days notice. He has given no
indication he will do that, but it
was considered as a lever by
which he might ultimately force
the operators to bargain on the
foremen issue.
Lewis told Schwellenbach he
was not considering reopening the
contract on the question Of wages.
Last spring he had demanded
that the supervisory workers be
made eligible for membership in
the union, but he dropped the de-
mand at the last moment in o-oer
to reach agreement on the new
contract.
Neither operators nor Lewis
would comment on the chances Of
reaching an understanding with
Schwellenbach.
With the oil strikes now prob.
lem of the U. S. Navy, Schwellen-
bach's path was clear to deal with
the coal crisis, which now has
spread into six big coal p-oduc-
ton states and closed down more
than 600 mines.

HOST TO TRUMAN
Start, Weekend Holiday
With Old Friends OF
Southeast Missouri

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Mo-, Oct. 6
-U.H-President Truman settled
down here tonight at the Majestic
hotel. 43 rooms, 10 with bath, for
a weekend holiday with old friends
Of southeast Missouri.
Paying the first visit TO the
BOOT Hill'' country Of his home
state since becoming president,
Mr.. Truman was given a tunul-
tous, typical small-town welcome
when he arrived.
There were flags and bunting
in abundance, a dinner waiting
for him at the hotel, prepared by
the church ladies Of this town OF
$500.
Tomorrow the President will
worship at the First Baptist
church. In the afternoon he will
visit the Pemiscot county fair on
the outskirts of town. It will be a
typical southern county fair COM
plete with a carnival midway OF
sideshows and amateur horse
races with equally amateur bookies
hiding from police under the grand
stand.
The feature race tomorrow will
be the $3.50 Harry S. Truman derby.
Mr.. Truman landed at 6 p. m.
(CST) at the Blytheville, Ark,
Army air base where he was met
by Governor Phil M. Donnelly OF
Missouri. The official Arkansas
delegation was headed by Rep.
Took Gathings, D., Ark. Gov. Ben
Laney of Arkansas was on a hunt
ing trip in Wyoming.
His first stop was at the Blythe
vile home of ]. A. Leach, a rela-
tive of Mrs. John Snyder, wife Of
the reconversion director. A ma
tive Arkansan, Snyder accom-
panied the President from Wash
ington along with another Arkan-
sas native, Senate Secretary Leslie
Biffle, and Sen. Frank Briggs, D.,
Mo.
Then there was parade through
Blytheville and out onto the road
to Charlottesville. The route took
the party through Steele, Mo-,
where Snyder once worked in the
bank. The town movie house had
this sign on the rnarque: Hail
to the chief-we still think he is
blowing a straight furrow."
The President will make an ex-
temporaneous speech at the fair
grounds about 4:30 p. m. (CST)
tomorrow.
The reception in Charlottesville
was a louder, more enthusiastic
version of the Blytheville welcome.
Thousands of outsiders came into
town for what promised TO be an
historic weekend. The President
rode in an open car, waving his
hat to the crows.
Some $4,000 to $4,000 persons
are expected to converge on this
little city tomorrow. The town
already is overrun. The few res.
taurants and the five bars are
doing land-office business
The Majestic hotel regularly does
