The- government presumably would try to block it with, a new Injunction. In his notice to the to the present contract, Lewis quoted the section under which- all agreed to meet in Washington to negotiate new agreement. Under the terms of. contract, Lewis must give only 30 days notice to the operators to end the agreement. But the Taft-Hartley Act requires the longer 60-day period.

Under the present agreement, 400,000 soft coal miners begin their annual 10-day on June -25. Thus, when the contract ends, the miners will be in the middle of their vacation. In 1947 they did. not return from their vacation until a new contract was signed. Lewis has hinted that his new demands will include an increase in the royalty for the welfare and retirement fund, higher wages, and more vacation pay.

At present the operators pay a 10 cent a ton levy into the UMW welfare fund. Operators have indicated that a settlement of -the present dispute over the payment pensions from the' welfare and retirement fund will be one of the issues to be settled. The 'welfare fund now has approximately 534,000,000. A pension plan providing for payment of a month to miners aged 62 and older settled the recent soft coal strike. But the operators have taken the pension dispute to the courts.

Ezra Van Horn, trustee on the welfare fund, has asked for a court order to" prevent the plan from being put into operation. Van Horn also has the banks in which the welfare fund is deposited that they honor checks drawn on it at their "own ristf."
