MADRID, Feb. government defenders of Madrid struck back at Insurgent armies in two violent offensive Waves today, determined desperately to hold communication artries on the Jarama front, southeast of the city. The dual push signalized the closing hours of the seventh month of Spanish civil war.

He indicated, at-the same time, an insurgent drive at Perales De Ta- juna, 20 miles southeast of Madrid, had been halted well short of the Valencia-Madrid highway, on which Madrid largely depends for its supplies. From the start of the government's offensive operations at 5 a. m. it was evident General Miaja did not hope merely to advance a few miles or take only a couple of trenches. "Things have changed," he said.

"The enemy now must defend themselves against our attack." Reports of strong insurgent resistance were substantiated by the general's remark that a great victory should not be expected in a few hours, but that the advance was going on "slowly but surely." "The enemy isn't throwing candy afc us," he said. The shift in government strategy was designed to offset enemy penetrations deep in to territory east of the capital where a web of side roads connect with the trunk Guadalajara and Valencia highways.

Lewis demand for a 30-hour work and a-15 per cent pay raise for hi 400,000 bituminous coal miners. After thus bluntly rejecting th United Mine Workers' proposals the coal operators demanded tha the present work be increased from 35 to 40 hours and that hourl; pay rates be cut 15 per cent. With this exchange, negotiation toward a new wage and hour agree ment got under way.

The presen contract expires at midnight, 31. Both Lewis and Charles P. O'Neill spokesman for the operators, ex pressed hope the new agrecmen could be reached without a strike but Lewis warned the operator that the miners would not work April 1 without a contract. The miners and operators stated their demands at the opening session of the Appalachian joinb conference. Technically, this con- Terence fixes wages and hours only for the commercial mines in tin vast Appalachian fields, reaching from central Pennsylvania to Tennessee.

All other mine wages and hours however, are based on the Appalachian standard. The increase the miners askec would amount to 50 cents a day for those men hired by the day, bringing the basic daily wage from $5.50 to $6 in the north and from $5,10 to $5.60 in the south.
