Mine Supervisors
 In Wage Agreement; Lewis Geis [oeho!d

WASHINGTON, July 18.-A gov crnment-granted wage agreement covering 136 mine supervisors gave John L. Lewis a new toehold to- day in the soft coal industry.
 It means that Lewis and his United Mine Works (AFL) have won the first contract specifying supervisors wages and working con- ditions ever negotiated in the in- dustry's history.
 Mine owners for years have re- sisted all attempts to enter into union contracts applicable to su- pervisors on the contention that supervisors represent management.
 In recent weeks the operators sought unsuccessfully to restrain the government from entering into such an agreement. The mines still are under Federal ownership as a result of the seizure order which grew out of the tWo-month bitum- inous strike this spring.
