Lewis executed some fast footwork a few . hours before he pulled his nation- wide strike in sympathy with the ,l Centralia, Ill, mine victims. Before risking the possible wrath of the U. S. Supreme Court, Lewis quietly sent a letter by messenger to Dr. R. R. Sayers, Director of the Bureau of Mines, asking four point- ed questions regarding the enforce- \1 ment éf Federal mine inspection. 1 It happens that Dr. Sayers and ! | |John Lewis are bosom friends. Thntl 'is one reason Lewis is so . vigor- | /lously opposing James Boyd, Dean |lof the Colorado Schgol of Mines, | as Sayer’s successor. And it looked | as if Lewis had inside advance; knowledge as to the exact rour‘ ! questions he should 'ask Dr. Say- ers. At any rate, Dr. Sayers, who is' retiring this week, answered I.nwls’: | i | | | !| questions immediately.

But the Bureau of Mines | || Director sent Lewis a reply by! /|| special messenger within one hour— | without first showing it to his boss, " | Secretary of the Interior Krug. | The letter to Lewis gave some devastating figures, but it did not tell all the story. It reported that though there were 3,345 mine in- spections by the Bureau of Mines in 1946, only two mines had com- plied with the recommendations to insure mine safety. It also re- ported that the dverage number of violations of the Federal Saféty (Continued on Page Four) \ i 1 ! i | i CALCUTTA — Dispatches from ‘Lahore said today the official casu- alty tally showed 2,090 persons kill- {ed and 1,100 injured in disturbances [wllicl] began among Hindus, Sikhs ,and Moslems of the Punjab March 14 after resignation of the province’s | !coamion ministry.
