Mine Talks in Recess
While Lewis Makes
Mystery Trip Here
BY the kssoeiofsd Press

BLUEFIEID, w. Va, June A.
Contract talks between John L.
Lewis and the Southern Coal
Producers Association were in
week end recess today, while the
United Mine Workers leader re-
turned to Washington for unex-
planned business.
Mr.. Lewis permitted the South
ern operators and reporters. to
guess whether he meant to see
representatives of the Northern
or other segments Of the industry
in Washington.
He would not say whether he
intends to return to BlueAeld
when the Southern negotiations
resume Monday afternoon.
The conference yesterday was
enlivened by an outburst from Mr..
Lewis over a statement the opera
tors announced they were making
public. 1t said in effect that MIR.
Lewis was stalling for time and
called on him to get down to
bargaining on the contract.
Quotes From Declaration.
1t quoted from a declaration by
Mr.. Lewis to the National Labor
Relations Board last September IN
which he recognized the Southern
Coal Producers Association as a
bargaining agent for part OF the
coal industry.
Mr.. Lewis roared with anger,
conferees reported later. But the
operator statement was made pub
lie and Mr.. Lewis refused to COM
ment on it to reporters.
Some operators now think Mr..
Lewis will have to bargain serious
ly with the Southern representa-
tives or face possible court action
again under the Taft-Hartley Act.
Such a legal move would delay
the Southern talks. however. and
that might fit into Mr.. Lewis
strategy, too.
Joseph E. Moody, president Of
the Southern Association left also
for a week end in Washington. He
said that the opening day Of nego-
tiations yesterday had been taken
up with more questions from Mr..
Lewis to the Southern Association,
challenging the associations au-
thority to bargain.
Couldn't Get Proposals In.
Mr.. Moody said he never had
q chance to place the operators
bargaining proposals on the table.
They are said to include requests
that the clause permitting miners
to work only when "able and will
ing" be dropped. and that one
allowing memorial" shutdowns
of the mines be clarified SO Nation
wide strikes cannot be called
under that provision.
He accused Mr.. Lewis of using
the same delaying questions which
held up the start of negotiations
for nearly two weeks here.
I'VE must insist that the work
of the negotiating conference 60
forward" Mr.. Moody said in his
formal statement.
He pointed out that Mr.. Lewis
and the UNIV were required by
law to engage in good faith
bargaining.
THE present contract expires
as to all producers throughout
the United States on June 30.
Under the established policy Of
United Mine Workers. If there Is
no contract the country knows
what to expect" he said.

During the first three months

U. s. Recession . Factor.
Economists. business men and
politicians saw several factors be-

reason for II was:
The United States. No. ] tar
get for the British export trade,
is suffering an economic reces-
sion. Buyers are harder TO sell.
They shop around more for lower
prices. And prices Of many Brit
ish manufacturers are higher than
those OF some other countries.
According TO this line OF rea-
soning. prices must be brought
down. Here Is where talk OF
cheapening the pound comes in.
Britain says the pound is worth
$4.03 and backs 1t UP with strict
controls. British exports are
priced in pounds. Now. suppose
q British manufacturer Is selling
q car for $500 $4,000 and a
continental manufacturer Is sell
ing one for the equivalent In his
currency of f4S0 Isl 300.
There are two ways TO get the
British producer out Of this Ak,
One is to cut his production costs.
But these are hard to cut. Britain
cannot by herself bring down
world market prices Of raw mate
rials she buys abroad. She Is
meeting pressure from her own
workers for high wages TO meet
higher living costs.
Could Cheaper Pound.
The second way Is to cheaper
the pound. That would get the
British car manufacturer out from
under In this way:
His $500 car costs $4,000 In the
United States. The competitor S
car costs 81. 800. But II the pound
is devalued from $4.03 to 50. say,
the British automobile would cost
only $500. Theoretically. the
British manufacturer then could
undersell the other man. and his
export trade would rise.

 Foster returned afoard Pan Am erican from Seattle from attending committee hearings in the nations capital on appropriations for the 1850 biennium for ANS. Appropria- tions committees were sympathetic with the needs of the Alaska Native Service, according to Foster, who was enthusiastic about the appro- priation picture for the coming year.
 Before returning to the West Coast Foster spent five days at Taxco, Mexico, visiting the Spratling craft shop where six Eskimo youths are under the guidance of skilled Mexican craftsmen as part of an arts and crafts program to be fos- tered by the ANS.

POLIO HITS E5kIk05 IN
 FAR NORTH
Doetors Blame Habit of Multiple Naked Sleeping
 for Spread of Disease

OTTAWA, Mar. 10.-iR- Two health experts say the first polio epidemic to strike Canada's 5000 Es- kimos originated with . Native named Tutu and was aided by the Eskimo habit of naked, multiple sleeping.
 Dr. P. E. Moore, director of h. dian and Eskimo health services of the National Health Depart ment, and Dr. F. A. w. Peart, the departments chief of Epldemology, made the statements at news con- ference.
 They said the epidemic started last September when Tctu left the army base in Churchill, Man. A case of poliomyelitis had appeared in Churchill a month before 1utu started his northward trek
 The doctors explained that the Eskimos travel a lot and call on their friends. They all sleep to- gether naked under the same fur. Efforts of whites to discourage this practice have not worked out.
 The epidemic has taken 13 lives and led to quarantine of 10000 square miles. It struck hardest at and around Chesterfield Inlet, ROC miles north of Churchill. Eventually 60 of the PTS Eski- mos within a 100-mile radius of Chesterfield showed signs of the disease and 36 were paraIyzed.
 Tutu never did come town wi7h the disease.
