-THE OWENSBORO, SOFT COAL STRIKE ENDED BY LEWIS IN SURPRISE MOVE (Continued from Page One) Justice Vinson privately just three hours before Lewis called off the srtike. They would not disclose what took place, but presumably the conference involved the government's plea for suspension of rules to speed the case. The court may announce Monday whether it will hear the appeal, and with the strike off now, there would be no necessity for unhaste. "Lewis announced he took his action in order that the highe court might pass on the issues from "public pressure superinduced by the hysteria and frenzy of an economic crisis" Invites Negotiations He invited negotiations for a new working agreement with either the government or the private operators, depending upon what the Supreme Court decides in regard to the status of the government contract and the federal operation of the mines. The wording Lewis' letter may point to an early return of the coal mines to their owners from government possession and contract negotiations with the operators.

The mines have been under federal seizure since last May's strike.

Lewis' letter started off with a description of the litigation over the strike "the administration's 'yellow dog' injunction" and advised UMW members the case has reached the supreme court. It continued: "The Supreme Court is, and we believe will ever be, the protector of American liberties and the rightful privileges of individual citzens.

The issues before the court are fateful for our republic. It may be presumed that the verdict of the court, when rendered, will affect the life of every citizen. "These weighty considerations and the fitting respect due the dignity of this high tribunal imperatively reuire that, during its period of deliberation, the court be free from public pressure superinduced by the hysteria and frenzy of an economic crisis. "In addition, public necessity; requires the quantitative production of coal during such period." To Return To Work Monday Then followed his instructions to the miners to go back to work "immediately," which in effect means Monday morning since most mines do not work on Sundays, and his stipulation that the order is fective until midnight, March 31." Lewis emphasized his instructions to the miners with he admoniion: "Let there be no hesitation upon the part of any individual member with respect to the effectuation of the policy herein defined. Complete unity of action is our sole source of strength." Lewis' announcement capped a rapid-fire legal campaign that had seen this developments in the past week: Lewis fined $10,000 and the union $3,500,000 amounting to $250,000 a day for contempt of court in fourteen days' disregard of Federal Judge T.

Alan Goldsborough's preliminary restraining against termination of the contract with the government. The isuance of a temporary injunction to the same end as the preliminary restraining order. An appeal by Lewis and the UMW to the federal circuit court of appeals in the contempt case and un- HOTEL OWENSBORO COFFEE SHOP The Chef Says: We Strive To make our customers satisfied -and our food So-0-o Good You'll come back. "Noe" Better Food Anywhere ion notice of appeal from the temporary injunction. A government application to the Supreme Court to decide contempt appeal, bypassing the intermediate court.

By calling his men back into the mines while the high court deliberates, Lewis lifted from himself and the union the implied threat of further contempt court action which might have eaten further into the $13,500,000 union treasury and possibly subjected Lewis himself to danger of jail.

The railroads lifted the embargo on freight and express and the L. announced the resumption of all" passenger train schedules Monday. It was announced in Lexington that the burley tobacco market, which earlier Saturday it had been decided to close indefinitely, would reopen Wednesday.

And at the request of C. W. Maloney, president of the Stemming District Tobacco Association, the Owensboro Tobacco Board of Trade was summoned to meet here at 11 a. m. Monday by Ben C.

Martin, president. meeting is for the purpose of discussing reopening of the dark market, which was closed here Thursday, due to the mine shutdown. The one Owensboro plant which had been compelled to curtail operations week due to the freight and express embargo- the wholesale division of Tapscott's will resume operations normal basis Monday, other Murphy Chair company had expected to close momentarily due to lack of storage space, will continue normal operations, Gleeson Murphy, president, said Thursday night. The V. E.

Anderson Manufacturing company laid off thirty employes last week, but this was due to a shortage of glass which Mr. Anderson said last night would not be overcome until about February 1, when he hopes to resume normal operations. If the strike had continued thirty days longer, Owensboro would have been seriously affected with a number of local industries being forced to close. However, up until Saturday night, this community was virtually unaffected aside from the stoppage of dark tobacco sales on the Owensboro market and inconveniences caused by the embargo on freight and express, the reduction in passenger train service and the restrictions on mailing. The municipal light and water plant was never in danger of a coal shortage.

At the strike's end, approximately 9,000 tons of coal-a fifty-day supply--was on hand at the municipal plant and there had been no interruption in the supply from local mines which continued operation. Owensboro schools and public institutions also had plenty of coal on hand or were able to supply their from local mines. The supply was adequate for needs, the domestic demand. The light plant operated at capacity throughout the strike, furnishing the Kentucky Utilities company with approximately 120,000 KW of electricity, daily which was used in of industries on the KU and TVA systems hit by the coal shortage.

A spokesman for UMW District 19, which embraces the Harlan coal field, said miners there were ready to return to work but would not until official word was received from Lewis. Official notice of the strike's end had not reached him Saturday night, he added. Union representatives were not available immediately for comment in all the other Kentucky fields but reports from Western Kentucky said that virtually all the mines in that area would be back in operation by Monday. The Western Kentucky field was less affected by the strike than any other in the state.

Many of the operations employ independent miners or non-union workers. An official of the Louisville and Nashville railroad said in Louisville that it was expected normal rail schedules would be reached by Monday. All railroads in the state have curtailed operations sharply during the coal strike and all had planned further cuts today and Monday. "We can start our freight trains right away," the L. N.

office reported, "but it will take longer to get our passenger operations underway." All the other six railroads operating in the state were expected to resume normal operations as fast as possible. At Chicago, a spokesman for the Illinois Central railroad said it would be Monday or later before a date could be set for reopening the road's shops at Paducah. He said the men had been told not to report Monday and that this order had not been rescinded. The shops worked this week getting out needed locomotives after a two Business shutdown. leaders in Harlan, Hazard, Pikeville, Middlesboro, Pineville, Madisonville and other coal centers welcomed the end of the strike.

They had reported a heavy curtailment of retail trade, particularly in the Harlan area. There were reports, too, that miners welcomed the news much as business and industrial leaders. E. S. Price, superintendent of Inland Steel corporation's big mine at Wheelwright, said the miners in that area were "quite relieved" at the "In turn my of events.

they the strike in the first opinion, didn't want place," Price said. "They felt there was no justification in it, but could say nothing." Price said the Wheelwright mine, the largest in Eastern Kentucky, was ready to operate and that "we should start out almost in high gear." Reports from Whitesburg said there was "rejoicing" there over the strike termination. In Frankfort, Gov. Simeon Willis said he was "happy to learn that mines will be reopened and coal produced."
