President John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers refused to
day to order striking mineis
back to work at the demand of
soft coal operators.

Lewis and soft coal operators to
a conference today in an effort
to settle the dispute over union
recognition for 60,000 mine
supervisory employes. The dis
pute has shut down mines cm
ploying 160,000.
Spokesmen for the operators
told Schwellenbach that they
would not discuss the merits of
the case unless the strikers re
turned to work.
After two sessions with the
union ' and management repre
sentatives, Schwellenbach '.old
reporters that Lewis had said he
was not responsible for the
walkouts, that the men had left
their jobs voluntarily and that
it was not his business to order
them back to work.
The operators, Schwellenbach
said, asserted that the UMW was
responsible and that Lewis
should move to reopen the mines
before the dispute was submitted
to negotiations.
Schwellenbach said that he
had made no recommendation of
his own but had emphasized
that the strikes were viewed as
serious because a coal shortage

the meeting a "typical first day"
of discussion and announced the
conferees would meet again

He said the government would
make its position known when
it had heard full statements
from both parties.
Schwellenbach also told re
porters that the "general strike
situation is better today than it
has been for some time" but
added that he would not discount
its seriousness because it "might
very definitely interfere with
reconversion."
He said the labor outlook had
improved through settlement of
the Kelsey-Hayes company strike
at Detroit, government seizure
of the strikebound oil companies
and the reopening of other
struck plants. He does not want
to think about mine seizure, lie
