Tie-Up
WASHINGTON,
D.C.
W
John
L.
Lewis,
president
of
the
United
Mine
Workers
of
America,
tossed
the
threat
of
a
new
soft
coal
strike
at
the
government
today.
Hinting
broadly
at
new
wage
demands
and
charging
the
government
with
breach
of
con-
tract,
Lewis
moved
to
reopen
the
whole
question
of
wages,
hours
and
a
host
of
other
matters.
Unless
the
government,
which
has
been
operating
the
mints
since
last
spring's
strike,
agrees
to
a
new
contract,
a
new
walkout
could
start
November
20.
Lewis
accuses
the
government
of
breaches
of
contract
result
ing
in
"loss
of
millions
of
dol
lars
due
the
workers."
