Lewis Says Miners May Not Work
NEW YORK, May 16. Mr. John L. Lewis announced that the United Mineworkers’ Union would not be represented at a meeting called by the War Labour Board at Washington tomorrow to discuss miners’ wages. Mr. Lewis declined to say whether the miners would continue working after midnight next Tuesday, when the 15-day truce expires. “The War Labour Board has demonstrated the malignity of its purpose to block a new wage agreement,” said Mr. Lewis. “The miners feel their case is now outside the board's jurisdiction. We believe jurisdiction and responsibility rest with the agents of the Government now in charge of the coal mines."
