A board panel arranged to confer today with renresentatlves of the CIO United Mine Workers and the southern Appalachian opera tors, and tomorrow with the uni on and northern operators. After a mine tleun which last ed throughout April the north ern owners acceded to the union's demands for a $1 raise to $7 a day while the southern operators entered a tentative agreement to Increase their scale from $5.60 to $6.60. However, the southern group declined to eliminate the sectional differential and meet the $7 northern scale. UMW Presi dent John L. Lewis has Insisted that the same scale be paid throughout the industry. The southerners also object to the union's proferred contract be cause it provides for a 10-day vacation shut down of all mines once a year with $20 vacation money for each miner, and fur ther because the contract reserves to the union the right to strike any time, and place to maintain "the integrity and competitive parity of the contract." Coal experts said there Is only 10 or 15 days coal supply above ground.
