 M earlier conversations, Eaton he'd not been abls lo win Lewis over to An ie-nlonth contract nor so 60 below 4e hours of pay for 70 hours Of work. ul
 M the Warrsntoh Eaik, however, Dason warned that the operators were setting tougher and were ready lo fight to finish With the Government of winning were getting simmer and simmer.

 Maton especially emphasized tho failacy of short contract and told Lewis that the steel industry would rather take nothing than q sixamOnth agreement The cost Of closing down and opening the steel mills was too great.
 Ealon's logio had ts effect. Lewis finally felented lie authorized Eaton to tell the operators he would agree to years contract and nine h0ufs Of pay for an elght.holr day Lewis insisted he had to get the miners worksweek cut down, since hours were longer in American mines than any place else n the world
 Eaton agreed to relay this proposal to the oper. ators; also said he would urge I'd Burke former Senator from Nebraska, and then head of the South. ern Coal Producers Association, to make deal with Lewis.
 1t was after this secret pasiey that Eaton per- suaded Burke to make his announcement calling for a resumption of direct negotiations
 in his eagerness to please Lewis, however, Eaton got Burke out on c limb. Burke didn't walt until he had lined Up enough of his coal operators. Thus some were opposed to any compromise but didn't like the fact that Burke gave the miners public encourage ment by announcing that he was ready to negotiate
 So Burke resigned-a significant indication of how strongly some of the operators feel about any compromise to John L. Lewis
 NOTE-WhIle many operators would 90 along with Lewis on c wage boost, probably would accept 46 hours of pay for 70 hours of work, they chiefly want an iS-month contract. They are bitterly op- posed to negotiating m the dead of Winter again when Lewis can SO easily get them over barrel
