MINE WAGE SEALE - REFERENDUM FALS International President Quot- ed as Refusing Another Vote. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, May 16.—The Globe- Democrat said last night that John L. Lewis, international president of the United Mine Workers, declined at an executive hearing before the Social Justice Commission of St. Louis, to sub- mit another referendum on the con- troversial wage scale paid Illinols miners. Lewis and Claude Pearcy, president | of the Progressive Miners Union, in- surgent organization, were members of committees representing the warring factions at the hearing The commit- tees came to St. Louis at the invitation of the Social Justice Commission, which annourced a desire to attempt to bring about pcace. To Decide Visit. No formal statement was issued at the close of the conference, which continued through the afternoon until early last night. A member of the com- mittee said, however, that the commit- tee would decide later whether to make a visit to the mine areas in southern and central Illinols. ‘The progressive organization was formed following the disappearance of tally sheets on a wage scale referendum. ‘The current basic United Mine workers' scale calls for 85 a day. Lewis was sald to have told the commission mem- bers that the tally sheets were lost be- cause of confusion surrounding the referendum. Since the referendum numerous other issues have arisen between the unions and picketing and other attendant dis- orders have resulted in numerous deaths. Asks Reason for Guard. Pearcy, in speaking before the com- mission, was quoted by the Globe- Democrat as asking why, if Lewis really was the head of Illinois mine men, “did he come to Benton accompanied by 500 deputies for his protection?” A representative of the American ' Ctvil Liberties Union, recently advised | by Southern Illinois authorities that a series of mass meetings planned to dis- cuss the union disagreement would not be encouraged, attended yesterday's meeting.
