AMERICAN COALMINES
ABOUT 16,000 NOT WORKING (Rec. 10.10) NEW YQRK, Jan. 3.

Rumours circulated over the holiday week-end that Mr John L. Lewis (United Mineworkers Union chief) might stop work again to support his struggle for a new contract. This afternoon the Miners’ Union ordered the strikers to resume work next Monday.
