He said other unions might also want to join. The UMW leader suggested it in a letter to CIO President Philip Murray. He returned to Murray uncashed a $500,000 check which Murray had sent Lewis as help during the coal strike. Since their strike settlement, the coal miners have offered to lend $1,000,000 of union funds to the CIO Automobile Workers Union, now engaged in a strike at Chrysler plants.
