Roane Waring, national American
Legion commander, suggested to

Japan and the other axis pow

In addition to raiding Balikpa-

The third Balikpapan raid was
made : despite bad weather. The
bombers ' swooped to masthead

.Two other ships were damaged
and the fires in the refining area
were started anew. As on the oth

on August 13, all the raiders got
safely home after flying over
waters dotted with fortified en
emy bases.
The navy battle, fought at
night, lasted a half hour, and was
precipitated by American inter
ception of an enemy force of four
destroyers escorting supply barges.
In addition to the destroyer
probably sunk, another was ser
iously damaged and a third was
hit. The American units also de
stroyed most of the barges.
The earlier naval battle in the

FDR Gives . :
Labor Borird
Bigger Qui)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 -UP)
President Roosevelt handed the
war labor ' board a big financial
club Wednesday with which to
enforce its orders against defiant
unions.
: But there was no Indication that
the' board would swing the new
weapon immediately in. the di
rection of J ohn L. : Lewis, whose
United Mine workers have staged
the most spectacular ' insurrection
against the WLB. Rather it was
expected that any. action on the
case of tho mine workers would
await return of the coal mines to
private operation. The miners
have been back in the pits without
a contract since Secretary of the
Interior Ickes took over the mines
as government administrator after
the strike shut-downs of early
summer.
f The presidential order gives the
WLB power to punish a recalci
trant union by withholding check
off dues until it comes into line,
or knock out other major con
tract benefits. ' ;v ::;;;' - ,
: Moving' quickly under portions
of i the new policy which affect
employers rather than workers,
the board directed two companies
on its non compliance list to ap
pear at hearings within the next
ten days and to show cause why
they should not comply with the
board's orders.
Officials of the Atlantic Basin
Iron Works, Inc-, Brooklyn, were
directed to appear on August 25.
The company has objected to
maintenance of membership : and
arbitration provisions of the WLB
order. ' . . . .t-'v-- .
The McGeorge Contracting com
pany. Bauxite, Ark, was directed
to appear on August 27. The or
der in the case requires main
tenance of union membership.
The return of the mines to pri
vate ownership appeared to be the
"zero1 hour for possible WLB ac
tion on union sanctions because
the UMW policy committee had
said its agreement to work until
October. 31 would "automatically
terminate' if government custody
of the mines is withdrawn." ?
Such an eventuality, under the
new compliance program, would
require Ickes to ask the board for
an order withholding "the bene
fits; privileges or rights accru
ing to the union. Specifically,
union dues collected by deduc
tions from pay rolls would be held
in escrow until compliance was
obtained. The government also
could drop enforcement of ' the
union shop in the mines pending
compliance. , : ,
A back-log of more than doz
en non-compliance cases has de
veloped since Lewis defiance; all
are employer defiances. Hitherto
the WLB has enforced its orders
against recalcitrant employers by
referring the cases to the presi
dent' who ordered plants . seized
If the employers rejected his ap
peal,: . Lewis defiance put a differ
ent slant on the subject Al
though the coal operators obeyed
the board, their properties were
seized and no penalties were ap
plied against the UMW. The
board was so critical of this pol
icy that it declined to ask sanc
tions against employers while
there was no weapon to deal with
union defiance; It worked out and
submitted to the White House a
comprehensive policy.

prime minister, W. L. Mackenzie
King, has bumped Into some po
litical setbacks of late. .
Persons close to Mr. Roosevelt
said that aside from ar personal
friendship dating back to under
graduate days at Harvard univer
sity, the president feels that the
present administration in Canada
is making a : real contribution to
the allied cause and would dislike
to see any upset which could
change the situation. Mackenzie
King's liberal party still Is dom
inant In the dominion parliament
but has lost four recent by-elec
tions.
Furthermore, liberals In the do
minion house of commons from
Quebec province sometimes jump
party lines. The choice of Quebec
as the scene of the allied war par
ley could be significant from that
point of view.
Parliament Is not in session now
in Ottawa , but members might be
invited to return informally 4o
hear an address by the American
chief executive.
. Today Mr. Roosevelt and
Churchill were hard at the job
of formulating war strategy in the
citadel on the cliffs above the St
Lawrence. Members of the British
and American chiefs of staff and
their subordinate experts came

The estimate of 25,000 allied

- The Germans, Eisenhower said
in a summary of the campaign,
lost at least 30,000 troops includ
ing 6.000 to 7.000 killed and In
jured of the 70,000 to 75,000 men
they poured into the island's; de
fense. Their casualties in the short
ferry-haul across Messina strait
probably never will be known,
the general said, adding that he
personally regretted that any 'na-
zis were able to make a getaway,
But they did suffer big losses in
heavy equipment he said.
