LEWIS TIGHTENS CRIP ON U. M. W. CINCINNATI. Sept. 18. — (/P) — John L. Lewis tightened his hold op the leadership of the United Mine Workers today when he rul ed his only opponent for the presi dency was ineligible and the con vention approved an extension of the new terms of office from two to four years. Another proposed amendment backed by the Lewis forces would provide for constitutional conven tions every four years instead of at two-year intervals. The same number of conventions would be held but the UMW’s basic law could not be changed at the interim meetings.

A committee is inves.igat ing whether the autonomy cam paign he led was a dual movement. The penalty for conviction is ex pulsion. The first strike on Edmundson in the UMW convention was the denial of a delegate seat on grounds he was not in good stand ing and was not employed in or ■'.round the mines as required by he constitution. Lewis ruled at the opening of the convendon today that the same conditions which he said made Ed mundson ineligible as a delegate made him ineligible as a candidate. He asked whether anyone wished io appeal the ruling. No one arose, and a motion to sustain his ruling was carried. Some observers saw one delegate cast a dissenting vote. The miners will choose their of ficers for the four-year terms at a referendum in December.
