Lewis Offer Rejected by Illinois Governor
The Associated Press reports Governor Adlai Stevenson rejected Lewis proposal for a conference between Hingis coal operators and the United Mine Workers to settle the seven week old coal strike. Stevenson saw no purpose in such a meeting while operators insist negotiations proceed nationally. Lewis said he would meet under Stevenson’s sponsorship at any price. The UMW chief urged Stevenson to convene a conference addressing Illinois coal public requirements, but Illinois and Indiana operators prefer national talks. Lewis and the union policy committee, behind guarded doors at the Sherman House, discussed a modest agreement aiming to lift coal production by 30 to 35 percent per ton.
