Lewis, emerging from a White House conference that Included operator representatives and the senate and house authors of the coal bill, told newspapermen: "The President after canvassing the legislative situation said that in the public interest be would re quest the operators and miners to extend the status quo of the wage agreements In the bituminous industry until June 30 and save the country the expense and inconvenience of a suspension. "The President expressed hope for early enactment of the Guffey bill.

D. C. Kennedy (chairman of the Appalachian joint wage conference) and I agreed with the President that we would recommend to our respective interests acceptance of the President's suggestions." "I agree with everything Mr. Lewis has said," added Kennedy to the reporters around them. Lewis ordered the strike two weeks ago after the collapse of negotiations between Appalachian operators and the union on terms for new wage and hour contracts to replaoe those expiring Sunday.

A large group of operators maintained they could not make new wage and hour commitments without assurances that they could fix coal prices at a level high enough to guarantee sufficient income to pay the wages called for by the contracts. These operators said that only the Guffey bill, to create a "lit tle NRA" for the soft coal indus try, could give them this assurance. Another group of producers op' posed the regulation the Guffey bill would impose, offered to renew their contracts with union with "certain adjustments," and urged the extension of the mar keting agency plan to Insure the industry against competition that eventually might depress wages. This group, mostly from the south and west, plans to test the constitutionality of the Guffey bill in the courts as soon as it is enacted. Nevertheless, the bill is on Mr.

Roosevelt's list of "must" legislation, and Lewis quoted him today as expressing hope that it would be enacted before June 30. With Lewis and Kennedy at the White House were Senator Guf fey (D-Pa) and Representative Snyder (D-Pa) who introduced the bill in senate and house. Henry Warrum, counsel for the United Mine workers, wrote the first draft of the measure, but it has been amended considerably by the legislative committee of the operators favoring the bill. Guffey expressed confidence that the senate would favor the bill, while Snyder said he was sure the house would approve it. A hearing before a house ways and means subcommittee will start Monday.

The senate interstate commerce commission already has approved the measure. Eleven Applicants Granted Licenses (From Page 1) monstrance against the licensing of the Hi-De-Ho contained 30 names, but seven of these had been removed during the past several days.

Heading the protestants repre sented at the appeal hearing was Thomas B. Maddocks, who resides at 518 Logan avenue.

His home is nearest to the cabaret. He said conditions existing by virtue of the operation of the cafe are detrimental to his lights to the enjoyment of peace and quiet and also that he considered some of the entertainment furnished in the lafe was not of the proper sort. Attorney Muuen, alter complimenting council for passing the ordinance, which he said would have a very salutary effect upon regulating entertainment in the various establishments, said that his client should have an opportunity to prove his willingness to abide by the statute's regulations. He called attention to a clause of the ordinance which gives the mayor the authority to revoke any license where there is an infraction of the new' statute. A lengthy argument arose over the question of the distance some of the signers of the protest petition resided from the cafe seeking a license.

Under the terms of the ordinance persons residing within 300 feet of any establishment seeking a license have a right to protest. The part of the large building at the Plank road, in which the cafe is operated, was taken into consideration. It was shown that some of the protestants did reside withing 300 feet of the large building but not within 300 feet cf the particular section of that building where the cafe is located. Council deferred action until actual measurements could be made. Mayor McMurray during the conference informed council that the charter under which the Souare Deal club is operating In the Venetian Gardens was properly transferred by the court and properly transferred by the office of the register and recorder.
