Industry and government officials expected the mines to reach normal production levels by mid-week The government last night established a priority system to insure coal for most essential users until production does reach normal, On resumption of coal production, steel workers pressed to restore production, slashed heavily by the strike. Some reported pre-strike rates could be reached within a few days. Still Before Court Railroads believed it would be at least four or five days before they could untangle the mass of unfinished- and finished products going to and from yarious industries. When the freight embargo was lifted the railroads immediately called back all workers who had been laid off. The request for a supreme court | review came from the government last Friday.

torneys expressed Tonfidence of a supreme court reversal of Judge Goldsborough’'s contempt verdict. Whatever the decision, it may be significant in showing congress and the administration what steps can be taken to cope with labor disputes construed to be jeopardizing the public welfare. While Mr. Lewis’ back-to-work order was welcomed in congress, it did not soften demands for new legislation to {impose curbs on strikes. It did remave the coal strike as a factor, which might create pressure for immediate action after congress convenes Jan. 3. By setting a March 31 expiration on his order, Mr, Lewis raised the threat of a new strike April 1, when congress will be in session. But until then, Mr, Lewis will be pressing for a new agreement. He has lost battles before and fought on to win the war,

Has Three Choices Here are the avenues open to him: ONE: If the courts should uphold his right to terminate the government agreement, he could demand that the government negotiate a new one,

TWO: Under the Smith-Connally act, he can ask the wage stabiliza(tion board any time to order a {change in wages and working conditions, THREE: He can renew efforts to negotiate a contract with the mine owners, Unless the courts held that Mr. Lewis could terminate his agreement with the government, he had no basis for hope that the government would negotiate with him, The present court battle developed from the administration's refusal to do so, Negotiations Complicated
