To Settle Coal Dispute

soon, throwing thousands out of
work. In many cities, coal supplies
Jor-nome heating are snort.
Mrr- Truman's order creating
the board of inquiry said the dis
pute between the United Mine
Workers and the soft coal Indus
try "has resulted or threatens to
result In a strike nr lockout af
fecting a substantial part of the
bituminous coal industry" and
that the "strike or lockout, If per
mitted to occur or to continue, will
imperil the national health and
safety." -
Wage Hike Or Benefits Cut
Mr. Truman's action points to
some climax soon in the struggle
that has gone .an between Lewis
and his miners, on the one hand,
and the coal Interests on the other
since last June when the old min
ing contract expired.
The stakes are tremendous and
touch thousands besides the prin
cipals. For Lewis, a big point Is
whet'ier he can get 15 cents a ton
additional "royalty" for his min
ers' welfare fund. Under the old
contract, the royalty has been
20 cents. But the millions It pro
duced have not been enough to fi
nance the benefits Lewis has
handed out to aged and injured
miners. Lew's must get more
money-or-cut down the benefits.
Lewis' other main demand Is
for 95 cents a dav wage rise for
the miners whose basic dally wage
Js now $14.05.
The operators contend that coal
cannot stand a price hike that
It is already in a precarious com
petitive situation due to Increas
ing use of gas and oil as substi
tutes. On the outcome of the struggle
may hinge, also, the future course
of labor law in this country.
Since :tb coal situation devel
oped, there have been Increasing
cries In Congress that big labor
unions should be made subject to
anti-trust laws.
The President's actions and the
Taft-Hartley iaw Itself will surely,
too, be debated as Issues In the
coming congressional camoaiens.
The presidential executive or
der itself said nothing about a na
tional emergency in ao many
words.
But Presidential Secretary Ross
said that its issuance means that
M". Truman now considers such
an emergency exists.
That the miners might defy an
Injunction was hinted at In
Lewis's rejection of the White
House peace plan Saturday, He
said: -

It also was doubtful that Lewis
would cooperate with a board of
inquiry without a court subpoena.
That was necessary In 1948 to
bring him before a Taft-Hartley
board.
Heavy Fines Recalled
Once the board reports, the
President can ask the attorney
general to go to a federal court
and seek a 80-day injunction
against a further strike.
If the miners should not obey
it, the government . might seek
penalties for contempt of court.
In 1946 a court slapped the min
ers with a $700,000 fine for con
tempt and uewis with a $10,000
one personally, in 1948, in another
contempt case, those f'nea were
doubled $1,400,000 on the union
and $20,000 on Lewis.
Lewis suggestion that the min
ers might not pay any attention
to a "stop strike" order was on
Saturday when he turned down
Mr, Truman's proposal for a 70
day strike trice while a fact-finding
board, appointed outside the
Taft-Hartley law, looked into the
dispute tnat has plagued coal pro
duction for eight months.
Lewis said the miners did not
want "three strangers" meaning
the board Mr. Truman proposed
to appoint settling their econ
omic prooiems.
me umw enters attitude leit
tio President little choice exceot
to turn to the labor-hated Taft-
Hartley act which his administra
tion is pledged to re-al.
It has taken Lewis most of the
?iast year to reduce coal stocks
rom a 75-day over-all supply to
about 15 days.
During much of that time there
have been miners at work, despite
their traditional "no contract, no
work" policy.
"For seven months since the ex
piration of the agreement, the
mine workers have made personal
sacrifices to Insure the countr'
sufficient coal," Lewis wrote the
presld- nr.
"It Is a travesty upon justice
that they should now be slugged
by a legal blackjack to satisfy the
overwhelming avarice of their re
actionary employers."

NEW YORK, Feb. 8-m-Fed-eral
mediation efforts to prevent
a nationwide telephone strike
reached a crucial stage today
with the deadline less than 48
hours away.
Cyrus S. Chlng, head of the
U.S. mediation and conciliation
service, said his staff would be
able to tell by this afternoon
"whether we are getting any
where." A union attorney said on the
eve of today's meeting that "at
the moment there is no indication
of any change in the . . . situa
tion." The meeting was between rep
resentatives of the Western Elec
tric company, manufacturing
and Installing subsidiary of the
American Telephone and Tele
graph company, and the CIO
communications workers of Am
erica. A strike is threatened for 6
a.m. Wednesday in a dispute
over wages, hours, vacations,
pensions, training periods and
other issues.
Truce Requeet Mulled
In Washington, the government
was reported considering a re
quest for a truce to avoid a
strike. A too government official
said the union may be asked to
aeiay strme action lr no substan
tial progress toward settlement
of the dispute Is reported short
ly. He said the request, If made,
would seek a truce of at least
two weeks.
The strike threat aeainst A.T.
and T., and the Bell system di
rectly involves 100.000 emoloves
of the Western Electric company
and five other A. T. and T. sub
sidiaries. The union, however,
expects 220,000 other members
to refuse to cross picket lines.
The result would be a nationwide
strike, union president Joseph A.
Beirne says.
Company Says Wages Good
A company spokesman said
last night a strike would be
completely unjustified" In view
of the prevailing pay scales and
benefits.
The statement, Issued by the
long lines department of A. T.
and T., said ''certain union lead
ers have tried to "run down tele
phone wages and working condi
tions." Figures of the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, the mmnanv
declared, show telephone work
ers get an average of $70.30 a
week and rank ninth in a list of
200 Industries.
Also, the company spokesman

more than 400,000 women office

Mayer, criticized the Bell tele
phone company of New Jersev
in hi statement which reported
no change In the strike picture.
He said the New Jersey Bell
Telephone companv, which em
ploys 13,000 operators in that
slate, has refused to arbitrate
the dispute.
The company's alleged refusal
to arbitrate, he said, "is one
more proof of the Jealousy with
which it looks upon power not

BOYLE
we do with the American farmer?
lot attendant?
between the city and the country
suburban lawns and billboards,
This will give everyone room
to park his car, and the farmer
can make more money renting
his acres as garage space than
ne can growing unnecessary po
tatoes. At first glance this may seem
a far-fetched solution of the pres
ent parking and traffic problem.
Dut is It: Mot if tne present popU'
lation and way-of-living trends
keep up.
In 1820, the year Daniel Boone
died, there were 5.5. persons to
the square mile, and the old
frontiersman felt the country was
too crowded to live in. What
would he think today when there
are 50 to the square mile?
The population doubled from
75,000,000 in 1900 to 150,000,000
by 1950. And there are also some
50,000,000 autos and trucks cruis
ing over the trails along which
the buffaloes used to lope. Ani
thousands more are being built
every week.
For decades the rural areas
have been losing to the city in
terms of percentage of total pop
ulation. For a long time country
people complained about this.
They said the cities weren't real
ly self-sustaining in population
their bright lights Just lured the
boys off the farms.
Tractors vs. Children
This may have been true
once, but you know what the Cen
sus bureau has Just discovered?
It has found out that, man for
man, the city dweller is now hav
ing more children than his coun
try cousin. The farmer today Is
going in for large tractors In
stead of large families. He has
learned that one good machine
is more of an economic help
around the farm than five strap
ping sons used to be.
What does this mean? It means
that instead of the farm boys
going to the cities, the city boys
are going to move out deeper
and deeper into the countryside.
But the water mains, the elec
tric light lines, and the bus routes
are going right along with them
The cities are on tne marcn,
too back to the countryside.
There used to be a pretty sharp
line between cities. There isn't
any more. The city slicker and
the hayseed are neighbors. Often
they are the same guy this is
the fellow who has a day job In
the city but goes home at nignt
to an acre or two In the country.
Or it Is the suburban farmer who
wheels five miles into town to
sell his produce. '
Gradually tne cities are
spreading like pools of water fhat
eventually will unite into one
vast American municipal lake.
What about food? Oh, the sci
entists are learning to grow that
in the laboratores. And when
thev do, then the cities will only
mushroom faster as the amount
of food available Is the only real
check on population.
So someday tne wnoie wme
countryside will be paved, the
mountains levelled, the deserts
gone, and only a little bush grass
left here and there to keep the
cricket's chirp alive, and a tree
in each community io welcome a
robin each spring.
There'll be no tramc proDiem,
as there will no longer be much
need for streets. You can drive
anywhere except across an air
field. But you n sun pay io par.
I only wish I could live long

Armed Services Soored
The committee was especially
critical of the armed services.
It accused them of apparently
"padding" procurement reports,
which ''strangely enough'' list
"many giants on the small busi
ness side of the ledger."
"The committee staff has not
found an Instance of a small
business institution being included
in the large-business category,"
the report said.
The committee said the armed
services "are apparently not con
cerned with the consideration
that, if small business is elimi
nated from the American picture,
we have lost the over-all fight for
the American system even with
out a battle, much less a war."
Trade Board Rapped
The House group, which is
headed by Rep. Patman (D-Tex)
saved some of its heaviest fire for
the FTC.
It said the agency was estab
lished to curb monopoly, but
added that "it has not accom
plished its full objectives, and
small business finds itself today,
after 35 years of FTC operation,
in greater peril than ever before."
The report said the FTC is sub
ject to "Rip Van Winkle somno
lence" in investigating complaints,
and concluded:
"The committee must know, and
the people of the United States
must know, whether or not Con-
fress is justified in suppotring the
ederal Trade commission in Its
present circumstances and
whether or not a reorganization
of the commission from top to
bottom should be recommended
to Congress for approval."
Reservation Offer
Rejected By Eskimos
BARROW, Alaska, Feb. 6 (JP)
Eskimos here want no part of

here Saturday.
L. B. Williams, 'Alaska native

Relnholt Brust, assistant ANS di
rector at Juneau today, that na
tives objected to the failure to

Williams said, was the require
ment that the Eskimos relinquish
all claims to possessory right In

new channel, to be used for load
ing and unloading purposes.
Howard Hinsdale, member of
the port commission, reported
that three of the five commis
sioners had tentatively approved
an appropriation of $10,000 to do
the proposed work and that the
commission would be ready to
proceed with the construction
work, providing the other two
members would concur in the
proposal.
Work Tentatlvoly Outlined
Douglas county will be asked
to purchase riparian rights to
bay front property to supplement
the existing dedication of tide
lands to the public for recrea
tional purposes. It is then hoped
that during the 50-51 season it
will be possible to widen the new
channel and during the dredging
operation use the material to
build a one-acre parking area.
An existing trestle, once used by
a logging railroad, could be uti
lized as the foundation for a sea
wall. Watersoaked hemlock logs,
now resting on the beach, would
be sunk between pilings to help
in retaining the fill.
More extensive development
projects call for construction of
a seawall from the mouth of Win
chester creek at an angle to the
end of the Marks cannery dock
together with dredging and fill
ing to build about eight acres of
parking. Another bulkhead is
proposed from the reef at the
bay entrance to the south shore,
thereby creating a large, shelter
ed yacht basin. .
The county court is being urg
ed to improve the road to the
Coast Guard property and to con
struct parking space for approx
imately 300 vehicles. Unless this
is done, it was stated, the Coast
Guard will be compelled to close
the existing one-way road, be
cause congestion interferes with
launching of rescue equipment.
Saturday's meeting was at
tended by representatives of
sportsmen's organizations, civic
clubs, resort owners, the county
court and others Interested in the
Winchester Bay recreational de
velopment. Following the dinner, served
by ladies of the grange, the meet
ing was opened and conducted by
Leonard Tolman, chairman.
Needs Are Emphasized
Frank L. Taylor, Reedsport
hardware merchant, reported
that 18,600 angler-days were re
corded last year, with 25,000 angler-days
anticipated this year.
Boat-days last year were 7,400
with more than 10,000 expected
during the coming season.
Pointing out that the Winches
ter Bay resort area is '74 per
cent short on accommodations,"
Taylor said that more than $241,
000 went into new accommoda
tions last year. Taxes from this1
investment, he said, will more
than offset the $10,000 appropri
ated In last year's county budget
for acquisition of recreational
lands, thus proving that money
spent by the county for recrea
tional purposes is more than off
set by increased assessed valua
tions, making the recreational
program self-sustaining from a
tax standpoint.
The meeting was informed that
the Umpqua Basin Conservation
council, through its land acquisi
tion committee, headed by Tay
lor, had recommended an appro
priation of $5,000 from the $10,
000 fund for purchase of land In
the Winchester Bay development
area. It was recommended by
the meeting that this money be
spent in purchasing riparian
rights to the bay shore. Through
purchase of bay shore rights, tiie
county wU have title to all land
bunt up by dredging and lining
operations.
Another project proposed is
that of extending the existing
county dock a distance of 100 feet
and building a ramp to a float
ing dock, 150 by 15 feet to be
used for boat moorage.
A proposal to dredge a chan
nel through the tideflat to the end
of 6th street, with construction
of a concrete loading ramp, was
not approved.
Among speakers explaining the
various projects and discussing
phases of the development pro
gram were Claude Saunders, op
erator of Winchester Bay auto
court; Byron Serf ling, represent
ing the Southwestern Oregon
Sportsmen's association; Crag
Povey, representing the Lower
Umpqua Chamber of Commerce;
Howard Hinsdale, speaking for
the Port of Umpqua commission;
Charles V. Stanton, representing
the UmDaua Basin Conservation
council; County Judge D. N. Bu
senbark; County Surveyor B. B.
Irving: County Commissioners
Lynn V. Beckley and R. G. Bak
er; Jack Diehl and George Grat
ke. president and secretary of
the Lower Umpqua Chamber of
Commerce.
Speakers urged Immediate ac
tion on plans for improvements

City Government Goes
Into Boy Scout Hands
The dream of "armchair" city
officials came true today for local
Boy Scouts, who highlighted the

city hall.
For this one day of the year,
Roseburg's Junior citizens run the
city from the mayor and city
manager to fire and poKce chiefs.
All city officials, Including the
councilmen, were relieved from
duty today by local scouts, sworn
in offic'ally at 11:30 this morning.l
Station KRNR will transcribe the
