' Lewis in Pittsburgh To Defend Separate District Contracts PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 15,—~ While the United Mine Worker dis- trict officials in his home town, Springfield, Ill, are carrying on nego- tiations with the employers for a sep- arate agreement for Illinois, thus per- manently breaking the solidarity of the miners’ union and its ability to strike as a unit, International Presi- dent John L. Lewis has arrived here to make a series of four speeches. The policy of separate agreements is defended by Lewis. He promises the workers in this rather radical sec- tion of the country that they will re- ceive all the support of the union in their struggle with the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal and the Pittsburgh Coal companies, both of which are trying to run open shop, without any union agreement at all. Lewis, in an interview, stated that “the strike is progressing satisfac- torily.” Chi Sends 2 Delegates To Workers Health Meet CHICAGO, June 15 (FP).—John Clay of the laundry drivers and Char- les F.
