"Unless this threat to the safety of our nation is immediately terminated," the board said in telegrams to John L. Lewis, pres ident of the United Mine Workers, and heads of five companies, "the board will exercise all powers within its jurisdiction to fulfill its obligations to the country.' The statement was regarded as a strong indication that the board would, if necessary, recommend that President Roosevelt take over the Pennsylvania mines in the name of the government.

This took the form of an opinion by Wayne L. Morse, nuh- lic member of the board, in a case involving the United Mine Work ers, district 50, and Miles Labor stories, Inc., pharmaceutical man ufacturers of Elkhart, Ind. morse said that those who challenge the mandate that in dustrial disputes must be settled by peaceful procedures "chal lenge In fact, the right and duty of our government in time of war to prosecute the war to victory, unhampered in its effort by recal citrant employers or workers."
