Mayor Knox later announced there

month.
John Quimby, secretary of the

fled rent increases would mean de-
mands for wage increases, higher
building costs, a drop in buying

John 1. Lewis Asks Operators TO
PorIey Same Doy Court Action Due

Washington (LPA) - When the
general counsel of the Natl Labor
Relations Board goes before fed
eral Judge here to ask for an in
junction against John l.. Lewis anC
the United Mine Workers he. will
have tough time contending the
UNIV refuses to bargain collec,
lively in good faith.
Late on Jan. 26 Lewis wiret
George H. Love, chairman of the
negotiators for northern and west
ern bituminous operators, that
UNIV representatives would meet
with industry spokesmen Feb. / in
the Statler Hotel here at 10 a. m.
Actually, many observers here
thought that NLRB general coun-
sci Bob Denham would have a
tough time proving his point any
way, since the union contends the
northern and western operators
walked out of negotiations Oct. 21
and the southern operators walked
out Nov. 2. Denham is acting at
the request of both groups of BIZ
luminous operators.
What prompted Lewis telegram
were newspaper reports that Love
had made a public offer to the
miners. Love proposed that the
miners go on a full five-day week
at last years wage scale, and agree
to elimination of the UMW's famed
willing and able" clause and men,
orial periods. He also offered the
present employer-paid 20 cents a
ton for the UNIV welfare fund and
agreed to limit payments to miners
and their families. Love proposed
that the agreement run two and a
half years.
Lewis is demanding a flat 95-
cents a day increase and 35-cents
a ton for the welfare fund. In his
telegram to Love he said the UNIV
would enter negotiations without
stipulation, qualification or COM
mitment."
When Lewis made his offer,
about 10000 UNIV members were
on strike in the bituminous fields
although the union president had
suggested they return to work.
The rest were working three-day
week except for few who were
working five days in mines whose
owners had agreed to union terms.
Anthracite miners were also work
ing three days while anthracite
negotiations were in progress in
New York. The UNIV has been
trying to obtain a new agreement
since June 80.
Denham is trying to have Lewis
enjoined from allegedly violating
the aft-Hartley act by refusing
to bargain collectively and from
using the three-day week and
other devices to force a closed shop
contract on the operators. The an
thracite operators are not a party
to Denham's suit.
