DR.. Dawson took issue with

the separation of church and

"Our Roman Catholic brethren
have said, through Cardinal Spell

for auxiliary services" DR.. Daw-

Mr.. Perry called the Barden bill

it would leave the way open to

Committee members said that
the meeting scheduled for 10 am

Lewis Is Expected
To Rejoin Talks on
Coal Contract Today
sy the Associated Press

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS.
W Va. Aug. 23.-John L. Lewis,
head of the United Mine Workers,
made ready today to take per-
sonaI charge of contract negotia-
tions with the soft coal industry.
Mr.. Lewis, who has not attend
ed the recent sessions with the
Northern and Western operators
here, spent the night in Clarks-
burg. He left there this morning
without saying where he was 60
ing. However, he had a reserva-
ton here at the Greenbrier Hotel.
where negotiations are scheduled
to resume this afternoon.
Whether Mr.. Lewis would make
any definite proposals toward
ending the stalemate over a new
working agreement was any ones
guess. With Mr.. Lewis on the
scene, developments might come
quickly.
Terms Have Been General.
To date, his wishes have been
expressed only in general terms
q shorter work week, more pay
and an increase in the 20-cents-a-
ton royalty on coal now paid into
the unions welfare fund.
For more than six weeks, soft
coal miners east of the Mississippi
have worked only on Mondays,
Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This
was at Mr.. Lewis direction.
Meanwhile, Southern coal pro-
ducers and union representatives
prepared to resume their discus
sions at Bluefield, 80 miles away.
There was no indication whether
MIR. Lewis intended to take any
part in these sessions.
The operators and union nego-
tiators resumed their sessions with
one eye on the dwindling stock
piles Of soft coal.
Stock Piles Whitfield.
Under the three-day week. pro-
duction has averaged slightly bet
ter than 100000 tons weekly, or
about 5,oo0,000 tons less than
normal.
This means loss of about 30,-
900 600 tons in the six weeks the
Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday"
week has been in force.
The existing stockpile (coal
above the groun6 is estimated at
between 40,000.000 and $4,000, 900
tons by various industry sources.
It is being whitfield down at the
rate of about 100000 tons a
week, as the country is now con-
suming about 100000 tons
weekly.
When the weather turns cool,
the rate will step up.
The smaller the stockpile, the
stronger Mr.. Lewis hand will be-
come.

appealed to Rent Control Admin
istrator Robert F. Cogswell against

Operators of the development,
the Realty Management Corp,
sought a 10 per cent raise. Ex-
aminer James G. Tyson recon-
mended that the lower percentage
be approved.
Under the rent act, the in
crease would have become effec-
tive today in case an appeal had
not been field within the To-day

Spokesman for tenants said the
appeal was based on the asserted
