WASHINGTON, May 10 (U. P.),~President John L. | Lewis of the United Mine Workers (A. F. of L.) today | ordered soft coal miners back to work for two weeks be- | ginning Monday. b His only condition was that the mine operators agree | to pay retroactively any wage increase that. is eventually | negotiated. Lewis said in a telegram to all local union heads: ay “This action is the contribution of the U. M, W, to our nation’s economy, which is being imperiled by the stu. pidity and selfish greed of the coal operators and assoeiated financial interests and by demagogues who have tried to lash the public mind into a state of hysteria rather than grant justice and fair treatment to the men who mine the nation’s coal.”
