mining industry found unusually
large coal stocks above ground in
West Virginia today and comfort
able savings laid away by most of
the States 100000 miners.

fects on general business if the

coal was estimated to be on hand

Saar Rule Must Await
Decision on German
Regime, France Told
By Helen Kirkpotrick
Foreign Correspondent Of The Sfor ond
Chieoao Daily Ns,xx Eoreion Sarxiea

Foreign Correspondent OF The Stor ond
chieoao Dolly News foreign Service
PARIS, Mar. 27.-France's claim
to the Saar territory will not be
considered by the United States
until after Capitalization Of Ger
many has been decided.
This was indicated In a note re-
ceived here yesterday from Secretary
of State Byrnes, addressed to For
eign Minister Georges Bidault.
The United States appears, how
ever, to favor the French demand
that the Saar should remain under
French economic control.
Some months ago the French gov
ernment requested American, Brit
ish and Russian approval for incor-
poration of the Saar so far as its
economy is concerned.
The Russians ar studying the
question. The British have not yet
replied, but have intimated that
they would follow American policy.
The United States view, as ex-
pressed in the Byrnes communica-
ton, appears to be that until four
power conference has ironed out the
question of German administration
the status of the Saar must remain
a temporary one.
The French are no less eager
than the Americans and British to
settle Germany's future. But for
them the only possible solution is
federation of autonomous Ger
man states with the Ruhr under
international supervision and the
Saar under French protection.
The United States has not yet
replied to the French request for
a change in zone boundaries. The
French wish to exchange the area
OF Wurttemburg, now occupied by
their troops, for that portion Of
Baden held by the Americans In
that way each province would be
under single jurisdiction, instead
OF being divided, as is now the case.
The portion of Baden held by
the Americans extends from Karls-
ruhr to Mannheim and includes the
rich Neckar Valley. The Wurttem-
burg area, which the French would
give in exchange, is the larger of
the two sections.

Lewis Comedies Point
As New Work Contract
Conference Fails
By james Y. Newton

Soft coal wage negotiators re-
ported no progress in working out a
new contract at today's session after
John L. Lewis had agreed to allow
maintenance men to continue work
ing in the mines while the Nation
wide shutdown set for Monday is
in progress.
The mine operators and the United
Mine Workers, attempting to draft
new work contract before the
Sunday midnight deadline set by Mr..
Lewis, met for three hours at the
Shoreham Hotel today. They re-
cessed negotiations until tomorrow
morning, reporting that no new pro-
posals for agreement were presented
by either side. Most of the time
was spent discussing grievances
which have arisen under the present
contract.
Douglas Byrd, Labor Department
conciliator, entered the conference
room for brief period. Howard
Colvin, assistant director of the
Cancellation Service, said Mr.. Byrd
was seeking information on a minor
point of the negotiations and denied
that the Government was inter-
vening.
The resolution agreed to by Mr..
Lewis, which will enable MAIN
tenance men to enter the mine after
the walkout is under way, provided
that the men shall be paid their
present wages plus any increases
which are allowed in the contract
the industry will work out event.

Administrator j. A. Krug today

an order that will freeze deliveries

said. This will be followed by an

the most essential users, such as
public utilities, of an adequate sup
ply of coal.
Officials said the steel industry
will Immediately feel effects of the
coal walkout and predicted that
some mills, with only To-day supply
OF fuel, will be forced to close
quickly.
The Government could intervene,
although just what could be done to
prevent the work stoppage was not
clear. There was some indication
that fact-finding board might
be appointed in the controversy.
Neither side was sure, however, that
such a step would accomplish any
thing. Then, there always is the
possibility of Federal seizure, but
Mr.. Lewis gave little attention to
seizure of the anthracite mines last
spring.
In notifying union locals that the
miners were to stay home next week,
Mr.. Lewis rejected counter proposals
of the operators calling for an esti-
mated 1872 cents an hour wage in
crease, plus considerable concessions
on the UNIV demand for a health
and welfare" fund and improved
mine safety measures.
The operators offered to turn over
to the union all medical care, health
and disqualification, burial and other
funds which they now operate
through deductions from pay en-
velopes. They also said they were
