Lewis, dictatorial boss of the United Mine Workers, has backtracked from his indefensible and unreasonable defiance of the government, and thus brought to a happy conclusion the captive mine strike, which had outraged public opinion more alarmingly perhaps than any other industrial dispute since the start of the defense emergency. It remains to be seen whether or not Lewis’ yielding came in time to stave off the anti-strike legislation and other retaljatory measures for which his strike against national defense so obviously was paving the way. Probably no such action will be taken now until the outbreak of another major defense strike adds new fuel to the already inflamed sentiment of congress and the public. : Most puzzling thing about the sudden end of the strike, of course, is the unexplained flip-flop Lewis took between last Wednesday, when he flatly and defiantly rejected the president's arbitration proposal, and Saturday, when he told the president that his UMW policy committee had unanimously accepted the same proposal. There would seem to be three possible explanations of this strange behavior on the part of this labor czar who ‘‘never let any man stand in his way.” 1—Lewis himself may have seen how ominously public opinion was re-acting against him, and resolved to change his tactics from.demanding to bargaining. 2—Lewis’ henchmen on the UMW policy committee, less stubborn in their refusal to see the handwriting’ on the wall, may have talked the chief out of his ‘all-or-nothing attitude—or they may even have simply outvoted him, although . his control of the union is generally believed to be so great that opposition votes are as rare as they are in the German reichstag. 3—Lewis may have reason to feel that John R.
