LEWIS CALLS FUND TRUSTEES INTO SESSION
UNION MINE BOSS STEPS t P WAR OF NERVES WITH COAL OPERATORS WASHINGTON. Sept. 10 iUP) John L. Lewis stepped up his war of nerves today but coal operators voiced cautious hopes that he will delay his threatemsl call for a general mine strike. Latest move of the closcmouthed United Mine Workers chief in his contract battle with mine owners was a reported call for a meeting here later today of trustees of I hi $100.000,000-n-year union welfare fund. Such a meeting could bring i new blast from lauvis against operators who, he claims, are sabotaging the fund by failing to keep up their 20-rents-per-tou
contributions.
The fund, which finances $100 monthly pensions and other benefits for miners and their families, has been depleted by these "defaults'' a', well as by a slowdown in coal production lm posed by l/cwls himself. Benefits from the fund sr" running to more than $8,000,000 | a niunth. Receipts since July 1. when Lewis put most of the industry on a three-day week, have been less than $5,000,000 a month. Some industry sources •said the fund is almost banknip*. I> wis has demanded that the non-paying mine owners ‘’remit’* at once. He has threatened to strike if they don’t. Must, mine operators have thought Ui • strike might start Moldin'. They noted however that in calling off contract, talks yesterday at White Sulphur Springs and Bluefleld. W. Va on the ground that he had to attend a Important meeting in Washington—Lewis agreed to resume th'
talks next week.
No progress was reported a yesterday's White Sulphur Springs session. Lewis repon cdly pressed without success his tietifaiul fn^ a .«hf»i*t4r-xvv>rk flu,'
with no cut in pay.
However Is'wls said he would re-open the discussions with northern and western operate at White Sulphur Springs Wednesday and with southern operators at Bluefleld on Tuesday. Some of the operators said this
was a hopeful sign.
Some union sources hinted al the same time Hud Is'Wis .;li!l may not he ready In n lum to bis traditional poliey of nu-eont rai i no-work a poliey lie suspended when his old contrnel inn uiil ini

They pointed out that Lew, has been directing his criticnl rhetoric lately not at the indust ry generally but nl a few firm: which have held thai expiration Of the old ci i tract relieved them of further obligations to mak' payments to the welfare fund. Lewis was close-mouthed in discussing the meeting he had 1" attend here today. Other UMW sources said, however, they understood he had called a meeting of the welfare fund irustecLewis would imt confirm or den”
this.

He said, “The foundation of the Riley Hospital for Children, and the Riley Research Foundation was not by accident or chance.
