Moves to Force Showdown With Lewis on ‘Little

Steel’ Issue.

WASHINGTON, March 17 (U. P)). —The government today is maneuvering to beat John L. Lewis to the

President Roosevelt. packed down under Lewis-called strikes in 1941. But this time the administration gives every evidence of digging its toes in to meet Lewis and to beat him—if possible. Chairman: William H. Davis of the war labor board, who has been licked by Lewis before, apparently intends to force a showdown on the issues involved in the United Mine Workers’ $2-a-day increase demand before it actually reaches his board.

A. F. of L. Foard to Meet

He announced last night that the board on next Monday would consider and probably vote upon A. F., of L. demands for an upward revi sion of the “little steel” formula’s 15 per cent wage ceiling and -on other adjustments proposed to establish a new wage Stabilization policy. : It is conceivable that ‘the board may be compelled to break through the ceiling to some extent. But all other evidence indicates that there will be no break-through sufficient to allow a $2-a-day hike for the miners when their case finally reaches the board.

Seek Compromise?

If the board decision Monday is to compromise just. sufficiently to maintain the support of A. F. of L. and C. I. O. members, it ‘would be in a strong position against. Lewis. He would find himself opposed, not

presumably by the two major labor organizations whose leadership he has equally-denounced and despised. Davis acknowledged that the

have ‘demanded upward revision of the formula charged in their petition for review that prices and liv-

as had wages. May Assail Lewis

night that he thought the effort to conirol prices and living costs had been “remarkably: successful—when you consider the overall: picture.” Meantime, Chairman Andrew May (D. Ky.) of the house military,

April 1, only one man will’ be responsible—John L.
