S. Bid for Coal Peace Reported Continued from Page 1 a director of the Chesapeake Ohio Railroad. Eaton would be interested in a settlement because the C. O. earns about 80 percent of its freight revenue hauling coal.

Neither Lewis nor Eaton would reveal anything about their meeting. It was indicated, however, that Eaton also was contacting some Government officials. One Government official said Government's first hope was that Lewis would retreat if and when he loses the court battle now in progress before Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough. At a preliminary hearing yesterGoldsborough ordered Lewis brought to trial tomorrow on a tempt of court charge.

The charge was made by the Government last Thursday after Lewis had failed to obey a temporary restraining order requiring him to withdraw a contract termination notice. After deciding the contempt case Goldsborough must rule on the Government petition for an injunction to prevent the union from terminating Its wage contract with the Government. The Justice Department hoped that the both cases could be completed in one or two days.
