Miners Union Leader Urges Postponement of Wage Demands
INDIANAPOLIS Sept 21 President Lewis told the United Mine Workers convention to postpone definite wage demands until next February. He urged sustaining the current wage agreement expiring March 31 1922 and asked the body to rebuke critics, back the international board in Kansas and maintain a nationalization stance for coal mines. The proposal would convene a scale committee to report next February and avoid giving operators six months to counter.
