legislative program.
The mammoth affair described
as the largest dinner ever held
under one roof will be staged at
the National Guard armory. It
has been a sell-out since Monday.
. More than 5,200 persons from all
over the country and the terri
tories will attend.
Each has pledged a $100 contri
bution to party war chest for the
privilege of hearing the President
and dining on broiled filet mig
non. This meant that the Washing
ton dinner alone will raise around
S5.10.000 for the 1950 campaign.
Other dinners for $50 on down
have been and will continue to be
held over the next few weeks here
and there. The cost of the din
ners, of course, is only a small
part of the contribution.
In sounding the keynote for the
Democrats in thia congressional
election year, the President was
described by National Chairman
William Boyle as prepared to call
for full speed ahead on his ad
ministration program.
The President will speak from
10:30 to 11 p. m., EST, and the
speech will be broadcast over four
networks. On a pool basis, CBS
and NBC television networks will
cover the event from the banquet
floor and balcony, starling at 10:15

Ltwis To Hike Demands
On Coal Industry
(Continued from page One)
ertl court order from insisting that
miners work only when "able and
willing" and that they may take
long "memorial period holidays."
These clauses had been bitterly
opposed by the industry.
Previously Lewis has Indicated
he would settle for a $15 daily
wage for miners, compared with
the present $14.05 rate, and a 35
cent tonnage royalty for the wel
fare fund for miners' pensioni
and other benefits in place of the
present 20 cent royalty.
Now Lewis may insist on a pay
increase to $15 50 and a 40-cent
royalty, with a seven-hour work
day instead of an eight-hour day,
along with assurances that older
miners will retain their jobs if
there it any firing.
Bargaining Returned
The union thop, under which
only union members mty be hired,
and other contract clauses Iewia
had asked now have been declar
ed probably illegal by federal
Judge Richmond B. Keech. The
same judge directed an end of the
strike an order the miners have
so far ignored.
Court - ordered bargaining be
tween I-ewit' United mine workers
union and the operator! resumed
today in spile of the continuing
strike.
A presidential adviser, John D.
Clark, warned, of "terrible" demor
alization in industry if the strike
continuei two or three more
months, with "teriout unemploy
ment." Steel plants and railroads have
suffered most to far. Most other
plants depending upon electric en
ergy were getting by.
Controls In Effect
In New York State tight controls
on sale and use of cosl were be
ing readied for probable applica
tion Friday. -A voluntary control
system was invoked here in Wash
ington. In some treat rurfewt on
using electricity made from coal,
were in effect. Some schools were
ordered closed for lack of heat.
In Virginia, the Legislature com
pleted action on a measure per
mitting the governor to seize and
operate coal mines in an emer
gency if the welfare of the people
so requires. Gov. John S Battle,
saying he will sign the bill, plann
ed no immediate action under its
terms.
In Congress today Senator Ro
bertson (D-Va) called today for
speedy enactment of a bill which
he said would curb the "monopolis
tic powers" of John L. Iewit.
The measure would make labor
unions subject to the Anti-Trust
laws if they restrained trade un
reasonably in industries affecting
the national health and safety.
