Lewis planned to submit their answer to a meeting of his 200-man wage policy comrniUee this afternoon (1 p.m.

CST). immediately after the meeting, Lewis and the operators were to report to President Truman's board of inquiry whether they can reach an agreement or are willing to extend the current con tract until a new pact. is signed. The board cave the parties until 3 p.m., CST, to settle their dispute. Otherwise, it is prepared to report to the White House that expiration of the current contract next Wednesday threatens to imperil the national health and safety.

The miner will begin their vacation Saturday. The 10-day holiday already has caused some steel mills to bank ovens to avoid dipping into mea ger stockpiles. Lewis reportedly placed only three "money" demands before the operators yesterday in nego tiations which broke the deadlock on a 1948 contract.
