The silence that prevailed during the reading of the terms on which Mr. Wilson hoped to settle the strike was rudely broken by a quick demand from John L, Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of. America, that fhe secretary explain what, he meant In the opening paragraph of his statement concerning "expiration ot the present contract." Thex secretary, bearing in mind that this was one of the principal issues 4n dispute, said it would be a matter" for negotiation.
