Coal Negotiators See
Agreement Possible
By Tomorrow Night
Mine Seizures Delayed
As WLB Is Advised of
Settlement Prospects
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Soft coal operators and John
L. Lewis United Mine Workers
notified the War Labor Board
late yesterday that agreement,
"at least in principle" on a new
mine work contract may be
reached by tomorrow night.
This sudden turn Of events in the
situation led WLB to call off a meet
ing with the miners and operators
after which the board had expected
to take direct charge of contract
negotiations, and forestalled. at least
for the time being. Federal seizure
of mines closed the past week oy
wildcat" strikes.
We have the belief that a con-
tract will be negotiated and COM
pleted." Chairman Ezra Van Horn
of the joint wage conference optim-
istically told reporters after leng-
thy negotiating session at the
Shoreham Hotel
Lewis SnareS OptlmlSm.
K C. Adams, spokesman for the
UNIV, Immediately commented on
the new developments in behalf Of
Mr.. Lewis. He said:
Mr.. Lewis shares in common with
Mr.. Van Horn the optimistic pro-
phesies given the press this after
noon. He feels, like Mr.. Van Horn,
that the industry should, of its own
accord, adjudicate the controversy
and he has joined Fundamentally
in extending the negotiations that
will promote peace and progress in
the industry
While official announcements re-
hected nothing but optimism. there
we're some officials on both sides at
the conference who did not have as
cheerful an outlook on the prospect
for early contract agreement. One
official told The Star he did not be-
lieve there was any possibility OF a
contract being reached tomorrow

operators actually were still far
apart"
Mr. Lewis would write down one
of the greatest victories of his long
and successful career as labor
leader should the contract be signed
because representative of the oper-
ators said discussions centered
around SIPS a day pay raise for the
miners. The recent proposal of Sec
retary of Labor Perkins, which op-
orators and miners estimated, re-
spectively, would add S158 and 81
to the daily wage. was being used as
basis for agreement.
Hours Work Added.
Mr.. Lewis got no such wage con-
cessions in his generally accepted
triumph over operators and the Gov
ernment in the strike-torn 1943 ne
gotiations. Extra pay received by
the miners as a result of the old
agreement is estimated variously at
between SIPS and SITS day. but

The American delegation to
the United Nations Security Con-
ference in San Francisco will
begin a week of daily meetings
here tomorrow in an effort to- de-
velop a "one-team" policy on
details of the world peace or
ganization to be set up at the
San Francisco parley.
Before starting their policy ses-
sions. the delegates are expected to
attend the opening of a preliminary
meeting of United Nations COM
mittee of jurists, which will convene
at II am. in the Departmental
Auditorium to draft the statute of
an International Court of Justice
to become part Of the projected
world organization.

peace and security are expected to
be discussed freely by the bipartisan
group of delegates in their meetings
this week, with the aim of ironing
out any controversies before the San
Francisco conference opens April 25
Senator Bushfield. Republican, of
Daly lo
had urged members of the Amer
ican delegation to sponsor an
amendment leaving to Congress all
decisions as to when to send this
country's military forces into ac-
ton. Senator Bushfield said he
opposed giving an American dele
gate advance authorization to COM
NIT these forces.
If there can be clear-cut
amendment or reservation to that
effect, think the treaty would get
almost unanimous support in the
Senate he said. If it is not
adopted at San Francisco, 1 shall
offer it in the Senate"
Stettinius Sees Unity.
Secretary of State Stettinius has
expressed confidence that the dele
gates shall be able to work as one
team" although free in persuing
our personal views and convictions. =
The major issues to be tackled by
the delegates are the exact rela-
| tionship of the Inter- American re-
gional security system with the
Security Council of the world Or
ganization. and proposals by Sen
ator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan, a member of the dele
cation, that the security council be
| given specific authority to review
and seek to correct any injustices
that may occur in peace settlements
following this war.
The delegates also may be ex-
pected to decide how far to 60 in
supporting a Soviet Union proposal
for separate membership for two of
its constituent republics in the
world organization assembly. The
delegates feel bound by President
Roosevelt's commitment to support
the Soviet request if it actually is
made at San Francisco, but they
may decide that this promise can
be fulfilled merely by casting the
American vote for the Soviet pro-
posal without any campaign on its
behalf.
Secretary Stettinius will deliver
an address of welcome at the first
session Of the meeting of jurists to-
morrow. which will be open to the
