President Harry S. Truman, hand in pocket, smiles as newsmen fire questions at him about tonight's White House conference with United Mine Workers President John L. Lewis and others. The President called the conference to make a personal appeal to Lewis to end the soft coal strike and later said the mine workers head "has assured me of his cooperation." Lewis commented "obviously whatever the president said is right." However, at the station where Truman boards his train for another campaign tour, he said he had nothing further to say. The man at right is unidentified.
