Sing Me a New Song


BY John Henrik Clarke For AMP
Sing me new song, young black
singer,
Sing me a song with some thunder
in it,
And challenge that will
Drive fear into the hearts of those
people
Who think God has given them,
The right to call you their slave.
Sing me a new song of strong men
growing stronger
And bold youth facing the sun and
marching.
Sing me a song of an angry share
cropper,
Who is not satisfied with his meager
share
OF the products that he squeezed
from the earth

Lewis Proposes
Separate Peace
PACT for Illinois
Acts as u. S. Moves
To Call All Owners
Here for Conference
By james Y. Newton

John l.. Lewis today offered to
make a strike-ending contract
with Illinois soft-coal operators
independent Of the rest of the IN
dustry and suggested that nego-
tiations be started tomorrow.
His offer was in response to an
appeal from Gov. Stevenson Of
Illinois, who said in a letter that
because Of the 47-day strike Of
the United Mine Workers, soft
coal supplies in his State "are 50
low that the health of thousands
of citizens is imperiled."
The Governor had addressed
urgent letters seeking an end Of
the strike to Mr.. Lewis, T. J.
Gerow, president of the Illinois
Coal Operators Association, and
John D. Battle, executive secre-
tary of the National Coal Associ-
alton here.
U. S. Plans to Call Operators.
Mr.. Lewis proposal for separate
negotiations with the Illinois oper-
ators came as the Government was
preparing to call representatives
|of all the Nations mine owners
here, probably today, for a strike
mediation conference. It was
learned that Cyrus Ching, Federal
mediation chief, planned to see
Mr.. Lewis this afternoon.
The miners chief twice had ap-
pealed to the operators in Indiana
to negotiate separately with the
UNIV, but his efforts were re-
buffed. Gov. Schricker of Indiana
had issued an appeal similar to
that issued by Gov. Stevenson.
In a telegraphed reply to the
Illinois governor, Mr.. Lewis said
he had every desire to cooperate
with you constructively and in
behalf of the United Mine Work.
ers." He then made the following
suggestions:
Representatives of the United
Mine Workers will meet forth
with with representatives of the
Illinois Coal Operators Association
and negotiate a wage agreement
for the State of Illinois, alone and
independent of any other State,
with the expectation that tenta-
tive agreements thus negotiated
can be approved by the mine
workers Policy Committee Mon
day afternoon in Chicago and the
miners of the State resume work
next Tuesday. .....
Suggests Two-State Agreement.
Second: If your excellency and
Gov. Schricker would desire, our
representatives will meet jointly
at once with the representatives
of the Illinois coal operators and
The Indiana operators and attempt
to execute two-State agreement.
with the same procedure and with
the hope that work could be re-
sumed Tuesday"
Mr.. Lewis added that the nego-
tiations could be started tomor-
row afternoon "and the parties
could work intensively over the
week end in an attempt to ac-
complish the desired results"
The UNIV chief then suggested
that both Gov. Stevenson and
Gov. Scbricker should sit in on
the negotiations and "act as mod
orators and representatives of the
public interests"
In his letter to the coal indus
try officials, Gov. Stevenson said:
I'm many private homes coal bins
are entirely empty, causing actual
physical suffering and distress in
some instances. Coal reserves at
many public institutions are run
