10 Map New Demand,
On Mine Operators
Controet Negotiations
Moy Set ls49 Pottern
For Other Industries
By Jones Y. Newton

John L. Lewis met with the top
officials OF his United Mine Work
ers today to map new contract de-
mands on the soft coal industry.
The 200 members OF the UNIV
Policy Committee from all coal
producing areas gathered early at
union headquarters for the i'm
portant session. Business Of the
day was to plan strategy for forth
coming negotiations.
Il was expected that Mr.. Lewis
would serve notice on the opera
tors OF the reopening OF the con-
tract which expires June 80. Fol-
lowing custom Of other years. the
new contract talks with the mine
owners would begin here In about
two weeks.
The miners demands may set
the io4e pattern for bargaining In
other big industries.
The miners are expected 10
emphasize ways OF spreading EN-
ployment In an industry which
already has shown indications OF
entering . slack period. There
almost surely will be o demand
for . shorter work week. perhaps
coupled with other schemes for
spreading work.
Another major demand. II Is
indicated. will be for an increase
In the 20-cent per ton payments
on coal for support OF the UNIV
welfare and retirement fund. Mr..
Lewis has said the present $780,
oo0. 900 d year fund is inadequate.
There are signs the welfare money
Is being spent faster than II u
coming In.
Amy new demand Ia expected TO
be resisted strongly by the oper-
ators who. In the last year. have
seen their high postwar profits
dwinde. Industry spokesmen
predict . rough road ahead In
arriving at q new contract agree
ment.

president. outlined three major
union aims. They are n siaortrr
