New Effort On To Prevent Coal Strike Renewal WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. UP) John L. Lewis had the govern ment and soft coal operators guessing Monday about his next move, with the deadline for l new mine strike less than U hours away. The truce which Lewis called on Nov. 9 is due to expire at midnight Wednesday. The United Mine Workers'- 200-man policy committee which authorized the three week back-to-work order, was assembling in New York to day. . , " Any decision to extend the truce another 30 days or so would be a matter tor the policy com mittee to approve. Why Lewis called the group to New York City was hard tor operators or federal labor ad visers to figure out. The mine leader has been avoiding Washington. Since last m tarn Rorida Crops Damaged By Wintry Visitation MIAMI. Fla., Nov. 29. UP Old man winter made a hurried departure from South Florida Monday, leaving extensive crop damage in his wake. He rode in Saturday on a brisk northwest wind, sending temper atures to as low ns 25 degrees in some sections. ... The valuable bean crop in the lade Okeechobee region was es pecially hard hit. The Miami Herald said the total crop loss might reach $5,000,000. Corn, potato and sugar cane crops also suffered although it was too early to estimate dam age. . Citrus fruits and hardy veget ables such as onions, lettuce, ea carole and cabbage apparently escaped with minor damage.' May he has kept the negotiations out of the national capital where they had been held in re-' cent years and called off his strike Nov. 9 from a policy meet ing in Chicago. Last Friday Lewis held a hush hush session with U. S. Concilia tion Director Cyrus S. Ching and coal operator George H, Love at Winchester, Va. Most observers in and out of the industry think Lewis wants to keep the government out of his maneuvers with the opera tors as long as possible and meet ing away from the capital may help to acompllsh that. But if he calls on the 380,000 soft coal miners east of the Mis sissippi river to resume their strike on Thursday, the govern ment will be back in the dispute again whether Lewis likes it or not. President Truman has said he will use the Taft-Hartley act to stop a strike if an emergency is created. Just how soon an emer gency would be caused by shut ting off coal mining was a guess for anybody. If Mr. Truman uses the Taft-Hartley act, which he Is pledged to repeal, it could lead to an 80-day court injunction against continuing the strike.

The board ruled that the un ions engaged in illegal coercion of AFL sawmill workers by "as saults upon employes, stoning and clubbing automobiles of em ployes, obstructing the entrance to employes into the plant, . . . and by erecting barriers at the plant entrances?' The unions found guilty of vio lating the law because of picket line violence are the CIO's Na tional Union of Marine Cooks and Stewards, the Pacific Coast Marine Firemen's union (Ind.), and local 12 of the CIO's Long shoremen's union. The CIO picketing was done at the lumber mill of the Irwin Lyons Lumber Company, at Coos Bay, Ore., August 27 and 28, 1948. The unions were trying to com pel the company to hire mem bers of the cooks' and firemen's unions to displace members of the AFL's Sailors Union of the Pacific on a lumber ship oper ated by the company. While its local 12 was found guilty of picket line violence, tne International Longshoremen's un ion (CIO,) itself was absolved of blame in this regard. No Secondary Boycott The board also dismissed sec ondary boycott charges gainst the unions. These charges weie based on picketing of itie Coos River Boom company, a firm en baged in transporting logs from forest to mill. . The NLRB ruled that the boom company was too closely allied with the Irwin-Lyons firm, be ing owned by the same indlvid. uals, to be a "neutral or wholly unconcerned employer" such as the law's secondary boycott ban was designed ,to protect. The wnole controversy arose over an argument between CIQ and AFL unions for jobs aboard a logging vessel. Picket line vio lence grew so widespread out side the Irwin-Lyons lumber mill that state police had to be called at one point to keep order. (The mill, idled for 10 weeks by the dispute, has been operat ing normaly for a year now. Pickets, were withdrawn -in No vember of 1948, pending the out come of the NLRB hearings. (At one time, the NLRB asked for an injunction against the picketing, but withdrew the re quest when the pickets were called off.) . Truman Goes To Florida For Rest . And Some Toiling WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. m President Truman left Monday for Key West, Fla., where he will spend the next three weeks rest ing and working. Virtually the full White House staff was aboard the presiden tial plane, "Independence," as it took off at 8:31 a. m. (EST for the four-hour flight to Boca Chi ca airport. . The president and his party will drive the eight and a half miles from the airport to the Key West naval subamrlne sta tion where tie will make his headquarters for the seventh time. The "Little White House" there was shined up for his ar rival. Presidential Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said In advance that Mr. Truman expected to "carry on business as usual" at Key West. Margaret In Concert The president was" delighted by the warm reception given his daughter, Margaret, at her eon cert performance in Constitution hall yesterday. The 25-year-old singer had both her parents and her grandmother, 89-year old Mrs. David Wallace of Indepen dence, Mo., in the sell-out audi ence. Tears of fatherly pride glis tened In the president's eyes when his daughter concluded her first number and the audience broke out into applause. She sang one encore nnmhai- "Cmiu..' Through," apparently especially fnr hor rlari " 1 "I almost tore up two pro grams in the excitement," he confided afterwards. The musie critics were not so enthusiastic. Alice Eversman of the Evening Star said of Mar garet's voice: "In spite of its sweet quality ... it just isn't the type for serious concert work." Dr. Glen Dillard Gunn of the Times-Herald said her voice had developed "a warmth and depth of tone that the music lovers found exciting." Paul Hume of the Post said "Mies Truman is still too much of a vocal beginner." The three Pacific coast states Oregon, Washington and Cali forniaproduce 34 per cent of the nation's lumber supply. Friendship is the only cement that will hold the world together. (.

Wuh saieiy patrols operating In nearly every community where serious traffic danger exists at school crossings, their cross belts, helmets, and flags should be a fa miliar signt to every driver, me division pointed out. . Officials emphasized that suc cess of a safety patrol depends entirely on cooperation of motor ists since the youngsters have no authority under the law. They ex plained that patrol members ex ercise control over children rath er than vehicles, holding a group on the curb until a lull In traffic permits starting them across. It is at this point that drivers must cooperate by recognizing the pa trol signal at they approach, slow ing down and stopping if neces sary, Patrol members are simply remlndlne drivers of the law re quiring them to stop for pedes- Tum., Nor. 29, 1949 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 3 trians In a crosswalk.
