Mine Shutdown Starts Monday;
Railroads to Lay Off IS 900
Lewis Action Brings
Renewed Call for
Tougher Labor Ldws
By james Y. Newton

A two-week shutdown of soft
and hard coal mines east of the
Mississippi will start Monday as a
result of a call by John l.. Lewis
for 100000 miners to lay down
their tools in renewed protest
against President Truman's two
year-old selection of James Boyd
as head of the Federal Bureau of
Mines.
Mr.. Lewis took advantage of a
provision of his United Mine
Workers contract with the mine
operators which allows for the
calling of memorial" stoppages
of work on due notice. In a bitter
attack on Mr.. Boyd, who. lacking
Senate confirmation for the. job,
has served mostly without pay as
director of the mines bureau, Mr..
Lewis told the miners they would
mourn the unnecessary slaugh-
ter of 55,1l5 men killed and in
jured in the pits last year.
Outside of the layoffs at the
mines and on coal-carrying rail-
roads. the latest mine shutdown
will have little effect on the coun-
try. Supplies of coal on hand are
abnormally large. partly because
of the mild winter throughout the
East. Federal officials estimated
