Lewis Warns Demands Stand Looks to Ickes
United Mine Workers leader John L. Lewis, after a New York policy meeting, said the armistice does not end miners demands and pledged to seek $2 a day wage increases, underground travel pay, and unionization of minor bosses. He urged Secretary Ickes to take the initiative while noting the War Labor Board bears responsibility for wartime labor strain. The White House backs the board, which awaits normal coal production before resuming wage talks.
