WASHINGTON, April 2 -lR-
John L. Lewis and, bituminous coal
operators, with another month S
grace for writing new contract,
resumed their negotiations today.
The oil contract, due to expire
last Saturday night, was extended
until May / by agreement of the
operators ard Lewis yesterday at
the direction of the War Labor
Board.
Today was virtually a holiday in
the mines in observance of the an
niversary of the first contract pro-
viding an eight hour day, but the
diggers were expected back in the
pits tomorrow.
The mine leader imposed the 80.
day limit and thus did not comply
fully with the WLB directive, as
the operators nave done, but, tbs
board did not bubble. A possibl:
strike was averted for a month il
their opinion, and that was the
main objective for the moment
The mine workers by overwhelm
ing vote had authorized Lewis te
order a strike if he saw fit.
The negotiating committees ar;
to report to the board by Saturday
on the status of discussions. The
fact that they did not decide today

Resume NEGOTIATIONS

to abandon collective bargaining
and hasten board hearings on the
whole dispute was indication OF
the desire of both sides for a ne
gotiated contract, or at least for
narrowed differences before the
board.
While conference Chairman Ezra
Van Horn, the only official spokes-
man for both sides, said merely
that the meetings will resume in
the morning as usual, it was learn
ed that few figures on Lewis
wage demands were introduced.
Some sources said a little pro-
gress was made today and others
were non-committal.
The mine leaders demand for
ten cent a ton royalty, which the
operators contend has blocked the
regulations during the month OF
March, was not discussed today,
some of these sources said. The
principal wage demand by Lewis
| is for return to the IS hour basic
work-week, with overtime for all
time in excess.
Negotiations for new anthracite
agreement will begin in New York
on Wednesday and strike poll
among the $4,000 hard coal work
ers has been set for April rs.

BY HIGH WATER

NEW ORLEANS, April 2.-R-
The U. S. Army Engineers set
about in earnest today with plans
to open the Morganza floodWay on
the Mississippi river north of Ba-
ton Rouge, to divert additional
water to the Gulf and ease the
flood strain on the seriously men
aced lower valley levees, where
breaks might cause great dam
age.
Colonel George H. Hudson,
district engineer, announced that
water now in sight indicated use
of the floodway within the next
two weeks.
This move, it was explained,
would tend to control the river
at Baton Rouge where the swollen
stream is expected to rise nearly
ten feet above flood stag on Ap.
ril IS and 10.
When all preparations are com
p1eted, the fuse plug levee in a
six-mile strip ON the Mississippi.
will be blown and water diverted
from Morganza to Klotz Springs,
La, and down the Atchafalaya ba
sin to the Gulf of Mexico.
The Engineers have been hold
ing the river level to around Is
feet. two feet above flood stage.
at New Orleans, by use of the Bon
net Care spillway which was
placed in operation ten days ago.
This takes water into Lake Pont
chartrain.
On the heels Of high winds ano
heavy precipitation over the week
end, backwaters from the Missis.
sippi and it's tributaries were in
undating additional lowlands. Res
idents and their cattle were being
removed.
The Red Cross at Vicksburg an
nounced today plans for evacuat.
ing approximately 300 families
from the northern part of Warren
county, Miss, because of backwa'
tiers from the junction of the Mis-
sissippi and Yazoo rivers.
l. VI IllO N1lo
sissippi State Guard were called
into service to aid in the. evacua-
tons and Army tents were re-
quested for the refugees.
Governor James H. Davis of Luo-
isiana, advised that extremely
high water was in store. called a
meeting of the state board of liqui-
dalton for Wednesday to provide
$780, 600 for levee patrol, sand
bagging ard other levee mainten-
ance against high water.
Dewitt Pyburn, state director of
the Department of PublicWorks
predicted the worst flood since 1927
in the extreme lower valley. He
advised Louisiana 1evee boards to
maintain vigil on the Mississippi
and its tributaries day and night.
Meantime, clear skies brought
hope for relief in the upper Red
River Basin and it's tributaries in

Los ANGELES. Feb. T.-Henry
Armstrong, the hardy Los Angeles
veteran who once held three ring
titles simultaneously. battled Tor 10
strenuous rounds last night and
finally came out with q unanimous
decision over Geraro Rojo, a local
fighter. A capacity crowd Of 10000
was on hand.
The Mexican boy circled and
jabbcd and kept the 33-year-
Hammerin' Henry at bay until the
eighth when Armstrong walloped
him all over the ring with short,
solid hooks to the head.
In the 10th Henry caught the tir-
ing Rojo with q left hook to the
jaw that sent him rocking and
|teetering to the. corner. This was
the closest thing to a knockdown.
AL three officials tabled the fight
so to 50 for Armstrong. Henry out
weighed his rival, IN to 1401a.
