"No. Mo.” Lewi* replied. "Again the rule of reasoning enters Into it.

"Cither Lewis didn't mean what he said before the committee or he is deliberately calling a strike lu violation of the injunction. Tbe responsibility clearly lies with the government io charge him with viol it Ion." Hut the government seems to be powerless. At least it has made no move to check a stoppage which clipped better than 70 percent from union soft coal production yesterday. What the government apparently is unable to do is to compel or persuade Lewis Io observe the spirit of his contract with the I'nited States coal administration. Lewis and secretary of Interior I. A Ktug signed that contract last May. It provides a speedy method to check mine safety and permit the opening of mines which

are fit to re-open. At Lewis' Ini sistT-nce the contract contained a mine safety section. It provided for selection of safety committees from among the members of local unions. These committee* were authorized to inspect mines and equipment to determine code compliance, or lack of It. — 0 ‘ Robert Heller Named On Dinner Committee Appointment of Roller!
