Asks Study' O'Neill proposed that a com pact negotiating committee of the miners be formed "and that an immediate study of the miners' demands be undertak en." Earlier, John L. Lewis denied that his principal proposal calling for a 10-cent royalty on each ton of coal mined would cost the operators S60,000,000. He asserted that tax adjust ments could cut this $24,000, 000 and that amount could be passed on to the consumer. He said it would cost 4 cents a ton to pay for it on that basis and added "It won't cost the operators a single,- solitary cent." Increase In Cost" "A cursory study of Mr. Lewis' demands indicates an in crease in the cost of production of approximately $400,000,000 per year, or oa cents per ion, O'Neill said. 'This means a daily increase to each mine worker of $3.30 per day. Some items are impos sible of calculation and would further increase the cost of pro duction." O'Neill criticized the UMWA for notifying the government that a . dispute exists unacr t e r.m s of the Smith-Connally act. " " "- "" -' BEES EXPECTED TO ARRIVE IN STATES Cant. Denton J.
