Jones announced today. Washington. (UP)—Pres. John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers (AFL) today ordered soft coal miners back to work for two weeks beginning Monday. His only condition was that the mine operators agree to pay retroactively any wage increase that is eventually negotiated. Lewis said in a telegram to all local union heads: "This action is the contribution of the UMW to our nation's economy, which is being imperiled by the stupidity and selfish greed of the coal operators and associated financial interests and by demogues who have tried to lash the public mind into a state of hysteria rather than grant justice and fair treatment to the men who mine the nation's coal." Lewis' surprise announcement came shortly after President Truman summoned the mine leader and a representative of the operators to meet with him in the White House later today. Both sides accepted the invitation. Lewis gave copies of the telegram to reporters in the presence of the 200-man policy committee, which he said had approved the truce. "The coal to be mined during this two-week period can be utilized for consumption by essential facilities and the nation's health and security thus safeguarded while efforts to negotiate a contract continue." Lewis said in his telegram. House Group Extends Draft To July 1 Washington. (UP) — The house military affairs committee today approved legislation to extend the draft law until July 1.
