Cooling Off Recess
Sought as Deadlock
Ties Up Coal Farley
By jones Y. Newton

Unemployment in the steel indus
try and fuel-carrying railroads was
spreading today because of the strike
of 100000 soft coal miners as the
possibility arose that deadlocked
negotiations for a new mine work
contract would be recessed for a
few days to allow both sides
cooling off" period.
The question of a recess in the
wage conference John L. Lewis
United Mine Workers and the coal
operators are holding at the Shcre-
ham Hotel apparently depended on
the attitude of the Government.
TIE disputants said it was up to
Paul w. Fuller, special Federal
conclllator in the conference.
whether the recess would be called.
An answer to the recess question
was expected early in the day. Both
the miners and operators were
agreed on the point that so far prac-
tically no headway has been made
toward agreement on new contract
that would end the four day strike.
Miners Plan Defeated.
The mine workers twice have at
tempted to have the Negotiating
Committee report inability to agree
to the full National Bituminous Coal
Wage Conference. Operators voted
down the proposition both times.
They contend the action would break
off wage talks entirely. Mr.. Lewis
says it would mean that future ne
gotiations would be open which
would give the public opportunity to
judge who is right in the arguments
over contract terms.
Mr.. Lewis has stated emphaticallv
that there will be no serious consid-
Grafton of wages and other issues
until the operators have made a sat-
isfactory proposal to his demands
for union health and welfare"
fund and improved safety measures
about the mines.
Despite that position, the joint
negotiating committee, with Mr.
Lewis absent, discussed the question
Of unionization of mine supervisory
personnel at length yesterday. Mr..
Fuller said he believed agreement
could be reached on that issue, but
the mine workers voted down a

Mr.. Clubb still awaits final ap-

was that the ship was so fast
