Politicians recalled that the mine | workers supported President Rouse- | velt in the 1936 election as the j "greatest humanitarian of ourl times." They wondered whether i Lewis' invitation, in which he called j Wheeler "one of the most eminent j of our contemporary statesmen." i and asked him to speak "upon such I public questions as you may con- j sidcr germane'', might mean that the CIO .chieftain would back the! westerner this. year. Not all of the speculation was along this line, however. There was 1 talk in the capital also that the in- I vitation might bo intended to ex-1 press dissatisfaction with the re cent policies of the Roosevelt ad- i ministration. Lewis has been criti- ! cnl lately of some New Doal policies,! including the reduction of relief] outlays.
