A Sixth Army spokesman said (Friday the delay was granted to give the former American soldier a chance to confer with his civil ian attorney, Donald A. Clark of Monticello, Ark. To Determine Evidence A pretrial hearing is similar to a civilian grand Jury hearing hold to determine if there is enough evidence to warrant an (indictment.

(International) John L Lewis Obtains IMty Wage Boost for Coal Miners Pair Uninjured in Unusual Accident o Q o o o No one was injured and a house sustained minor damage early Saturday morning when a car ran off the road and into the side of an unoccupied building. State police said Vernal Gar- dell Richards, 53, of 211 West Main st. was driving on Berry Q dale ave. His car sideswiped a main box, the door swung open and Richards' wife Mabel fell ,0 out of the car onto the road. 1 Richards turned to look and the G car swerved off the road and ran Washington (U.R) John L. Lewis has won a hefty $2-a-day pay hike for his soft coal miners in a secret agreement with Northern coal producers, in formed sources said Saturday. These sources said the agree ment was reached between Lewis and top-level officials of the Bituminous Coal Operators Assn. which bargains for the major segment of the soft coal industry, including the so-called "captive", mines owned by the big steel companies. Officials of both sides, however, refused to comment on the report. Informed sources said Lewis might be expected in the near future to serve a similar pay in crease demand on the southern gains for most Southern coal pro Coal Operators Assn., which bar-ducers. The sources said the new agreement provides for a $1.20-per-day increase on Sept. 1 and another 80 cents on April 1. 1956, boosting the UMW . basic wage to $20.25 a day. The agree ment, they said, also provides other contract improvements. Spectacular Comeback The increase would mean a spectacular comeback on the wage front for Lewis and his United Mine Workers. Their last wage increase was in 1952 $1.90 but their pay still ranks with wage rates in the auto and steel industries. The $1.20 increase alone would be the equivalent of the 15-cent hourly pay increase won by the CIO Steelworkers in a pace-setting settlement last July 1. The agreement also was said to call for improved vacation pay and for overtime pay for Saturday work and double time pay for Sunday work. It was said to run to Aug. 31, 1956. Same Strategy The sources said Lewis appar ently is using the same strategy he succeeded with in 1951. That year, he also secretly negotiated an agreement with the Northern producers and then used it to get Southern producers to fall in line. The UMW contract has been subject to re-opening since Aug. 1, 1953. But neither side made any public move to do so. Lewis "sat out" the round of. wage in creases in 1953 and 1954, appar ently because of the coal indus try depression. But soft coal production has picked up this year, particularly the nation's steel mills. In the first 7V'2 months of this year, total production was 21 per cent above that for the same period last year.
