LEWIS KEEPS SILENT OVER
 GOAL STRIKE
DeadIine for Action Ex- pires al Midnighi-6reen
 Attacks Government

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-De- notlncing the governments policy, AFL President William Green today said the miners who have volun- tarily walked out will not return until new soft coal contract is signed
 Green in statement vigorously backing up the now silent John l.. Lewis, declared:
 Tt is my opinion the govern f11ent's resort to the injunctive pro- cess with it's enslaving and incrim- mating effects, will have the op- posite result of that intended
 Instead of returning to work, the miners who have voluntarily walked out will voluntarily refuse to return until a new contract be- come seffective"
 Green spoke out as Lewis gave no public sign of what course he will pursue in his present collis- ion with the government.
 Lewis has served notice that his United Mine Workers contract with the government ends at mid night tonight. Miners have been leaving the pits by the thousands, with the midday total reported above 127000.
 The Federal District Court here has ordered Lewis to recall the con- tract termination notice.
 Referring to this order, Greens statement said: 4-s. .s.,
 The government representatives, adding insult to injury to the workers of the nation, have re- sorted to the use of injunction process and as a result have made an extremely bad situation much worse. Labor regards this step on the part of the government as Act. It represents force, violence and the threat of punishment on the part of the government.
 Greens statement attacking the BCVeiIuiltllt ; uSc Ol bllc iilJutlCllOl followed by several hours a similar denunciation by the CIO convention at Atlantic City.
 The AFL leader added:
 Neither troops with bayonets, nor court injunctions, nor incar- ceration of miners or their repre- sentatives in jail, can serve to pro- duce one single ton of coal. Only the skilled, trained. courageous free mine workers who are willing to risk their lives in the coal mines each day, can do this
 The government appears to be on a hot seat.
 If the government puts Lewis in jail-that might start not only a miners strike but perhaps even Iarge-scale walkout of organized la Dor.
 But if Lewis fails to obey the in- junction against him, the law re- quires that he be punished
 Then the government also must decide what to do if there is a complete coal shutdown. Shall the Army run the mines? The men in ,he pits say you can't dig coal with bayonets or injunctions.
