Hence, the Americans (even the

Reopening of Contract

enveloped the strike-harassed
Government yesterday as he re-
opened the soft coal work con-
tract and served notice his 400
600 bituminous miners would
strike if necessary in support OF
new demands.
Mr.. Lewis did not say what his
new wage demands would be, but
Federal and industry officials alike
expected them to be spectacularly
high. He gave notice of the con-
tract reopening in a letter to Ezra
Van Horn, chairman of the Coal
Operators Negotiating Committee
in which he suggested convening
of the National Bituminous Coal
Wage Conference here March u

the miners may strike after 80 days

pauIey Fight Started
By Republican Ickes
Johnston Charges
South CoroIiniun Backs
Nominee, Saying He
Is Qualified for Job
By J. A. Oleoy

Senator Johnston, Democrat,
of South Carolina charged last
night that the main fight
against Edwin w. Pauley to be
Undersecretary of the Navy was
started by former Secretary of
the Interior Ickes.
In announcing he is for Mr..
Pauley's confirmation, Senator
Johnston described Mr.. Ickes as "a
Republican from the word CO." and
added:
"The only criticism I could have
of President Truman, if any, in
this whole controversy, is allowing
Mr.. Ickes to remain in office as
long as he did"
Assisted in Raising Funds.
In statement, Senator Johnston
pointed out that as national Demo-
cratic committeeman from South
Carolina, he worked in Democratic
headquarters in New York during
the 1914 campaign and assisted in
raising funds for the party.
Mr.. Ickes testified early in the
hearings that Mr.. Pauley told him
