Lewis and Operators
10 Begin Negotiating
Mine Pact Tomorrow
BY the Associated Pres.

John L. Lewis and soft coal oper-
ators will open talks on a new
work contract tomorrow-with an.
other mine strike possibly h:nging
on the outcome.
The conference was arranged by
the Government to get the United
Mine Workers chieftain and the
mine owners together on an agree
ment before the June 80 deadline
for the return of the Government
controlled pits to private operation.
But there is little hope on any
side that new pact will be negoa-
ated quickly. If no agreement Is
reached by July /, miners are en-
pected to observe their policy Of
mo contract, no work" and leave
their jobs.
Obstacles F0reseen.
It will be the first meeting Of
Mr.. Lewis and the operators since
last September, and the same
obstacles probably will come up
again. These involve principally
the UMW's demands for an indus
try-wide safety code and royalty
on coal to support welfare fund
for the miners.
The present union contract with
the Government, signed last May to
end 59-day strike, provides for the
safety code and 5-cents-a- ton levy
on coal to finance the welfare fund.
However, on the basis of recent ut
terances. Mr.. Lewis is expected to
try to increase the royalty to 10
cents ton.
Industry observers also expect the
UNIV boss to demand the same pay
for an 8-hour day as miners now
receive for nine hours in the mines
$1185. This would be equivalert
to a wage increase of S1.85 day
Compfttee Broken Up. (
The September negotiations cob
lapsed after the southern coal pro-
ducers baked at accepting the Wet
fare royalty and safety provisions
of the UNIV Government contract
Since then, the operators National
Bargaining Committee has broken
up.
Whether Mr.. Lewis might negott.
ate separate contract with norths
ern operators and steel interests Is
one Of the questions that may be
answered at the sessions beginning
tomorrow. Government officials ia.
miliar with the problem think that
he will refrain from doing so-at
least for long time.

Democratic Leaders Map Drive
|ToRecupture Senate in 1913

and New Mexico elected Democratic
senators in 1916 despite the Repub-
ncan trend elsewhere. Colorado
elected a Democratic Governor, re.
placing Republican. In Montans
a Republican replaced Democrat
in the Senate.
On the Republican front, only
eight States now are counted mod.
erately safe for incumbent GOF
Senators. These include Minnesota
New Hampshire. South Dakota
Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, Maine
and Iowa.
In all these there will be Demo-
cratic opposition. with the attendant
possibility that If the national trend
favors that party in 1948 the COP
may suffer some losses even among
these
Several States Doubtful.
In the doubtful category, where
the Democrats are certain to make
strong bids to break through are
Illinois, Delaware, Kentucky, Ore
gon, Idaho, New Jersey, Oklahoma,
West Virginia, wyoming and Massa-
chusetts.
Democrats content that a situa-
ton might arise in a close presi-
dental election where, even if they
lost the presidency and the House
they might regain the Senate.
However. Republicans reply that
the outcome of senatorial races
usually follows the presidential
trend If their presidential candi-
date wins, they argue, he will have
to carry the doubtful" States to do
it and probably would pull the SEN
atorial candidates along.
Democratic chances in the House
would be comparatively simmer in
close presidential contest, since
the party must overcome 81
margin now held by the Republicans
there.

Provide Schools in Time

Coram and Martin City resi-
dents have just completed the cir
culating of petitions asking for a
special school election.
Both communities want four
room schools, and request voters
to approve a bond issue of $72,848.
This will not be an election
to bond the district for the pur-
pose of providing anything fancy.
1t just calls for the building of
two ordinary four room grade
schools with heating plants.
For the past months some stu
dents from the present inadequate
Coram school have been using the
dingy basement of the commun-
ity church. There is no alterna-
tive for Coram, but to ask for
construction of new building to
provide for present and expected
enrolment of the coming two
years.
Martin City has now an estim-
ated 100 families. Building of
school there will serve the pur-
pose of providing facilities in
their own town, and reduce the

burden on the Columbia Falls
grade school. In the local first
grade, Mrs. Carlson now has 43
pupils.
1t is probable that without Mar
tin City enrollments, the present
Columbia Falls grade school can
provide for a student influx that
will come when up to 100 new
families move here. After that
Columbia Falls must ask district
voters (including Coram and Mar
tin City, to approve new build
ing here. Bolton, likewise, in the
future will need a larger build
ing.
When considering the Coram
and Martin City requests, voters
should keep in mind that the
towns are asking for simple grade
schools. In sponsoring the petit
tons, the two communities have
revised their earlier estimates of
requiring two eight-room schools
However, they earnestly believe
that they will need two four-room
schools to take care of the immed-
late problem. MIR
