as he did on May 1 until the government took over the mines. If Mr. Lewis shows up tomorrow Jit will mean that he has decided to ficht out his quarrel with the national war labor board in person, rather than by long-range shelling. Developments in Washington make ft necessary for him to choose between submission to NWLEB or another attempt at use Jof the strike weapon, It was regarded likely here that Lewis would reach a decision afternoon in New York at a 1g of the union's policy committee, Harold L. Ickes, secretary of the interior and now federal custodian of the coal industry, took the wind out of widespread speculation that he had made a deal with Mr. Lewis as a bribe for calling off his strike; President Roosevelt backed up Mr. Ickes statement that there was no intention of appeasing Mr. Lewis by-passing NWLB, and that agency reiterated its policy of reating big unions as well as little i on the same basis of wage

stabilization

Bookkeeping Is Problem All this came just in time to stop a flood of speculation, founded on official silence, that Mr. Lewis was on his way toward another victory over official policies and a large volume of public opinion. Many here are Switching now toward a belief that Mr. Lewis could engineer another effective strike even if he so desired. His 530000 union members in the bituminous and anthracite fields are now working under the United States flag. and if they go out egain they will be striking directly against the government. Posters are plastered all over the coal mines proclaiming them ment property, and these along with the flags are reported to be exerting a strong influence among the Lewis followers. It is indicated that government control of the mines will not be relaxed until all ganger of a warcrippling shutdown is past. Mr >ekes'’ organization may have "many bookkeeping problems before it is over, and the longer his custodianship lasts the more intricate will be his problems of turning back to private control an industry in which financial reports indicate many units would prefer to have Uncle Sam hold the bag on their losses. Tomorrow's meeting will be a session of the war labor board panel to which NWLB has given the task of finding the factsin the coal controversy. It will hear from spokesmen for the two groups of bituminous operators, and from

Gave No Guarantee

Mr. Ickes’ order for a general six day week in coal mining, with time-and-a-half for the sixth day, was described by himself as not a concession to the Lewis demands. The government needs all the coal that can be produced, it was pointed out, and on the tonnage basis 95 per cent of coal mines were working six days a week before May 1. Mr. Ickes gave ne guarantee, such as Mr. Lewis has demanded of 52 full six-day weeks a year. Mr. Lewis, consistently branding

his powerful segment of it, ignored |

the board panel when it first went into operation. He may snub ft again; he may use another maneuver as startling as his attempt Sunday night to blanket the Presidents back-to-work appeal to miners; or he may recognize a skilful and determined effort among all official agencies to force his peaceful cbedience to wartime directions from the commander-in-chief.
