Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1950 Truman's Hand May Be Forced In Coal Strike By Laurence Gondcr (United PrM Staff Corraiiondwt) Washington, Jan. 17 "One big Dllzzaru could force President Truman to seek a Taft-Hartley act Injunction against the wildcat coal strike and John L. Lewis' three-day work week, govern ment officials said today. Even under present conditions, they said, special reports from the bureau of mines show coal supplies are so low that President Truman may have to send the justice department into court for an injunction "at any moment." They said if the White House decides such a move is necessary, the Justice department will ask the court to force the 400,000 soft coal miners to work a full five day week. The bulk of the miners have been working only three days a week since December 5. But some 68,000 are now engaged in a full scale wildcat strike, despite Lewis suggestion that they re turn to their Jobs. Still Not Convinced ' Mr. Truman told Senate demo cratic leader Scott W. Lucas only yesterday that he Is still not con vinced the coal crisis is a nation al emergency as yet. Lucas and other legislators have demanded that the president take antl ' strike action under the "Taft Hartley law. General counsel Robert N. Den ham of the national labor rela tions board is also keeping a closs eye on the situation. Labor sources said Denham may decide in the next day or so if Lewis' three-day work week constitutes an unfair labor practice. If Denham decides that It does, they said, he will take advantage of the Taft-Hartley act to ask the courts to compel the miners to work a full five-day week. The coal operators have asked him to take such action. In a peti tion to the board, they accused Lewis of bargaining in bad faith, demanding an illegal contract, and using the short work week to coerce operators Into signing a contract they don't want. The coal operators long have contended thrt supplies have dwindled so low that an anti strike injunction under the emer gency provisions of the Taft Hartley law Is warranted. But officials of the federal bu reau of mines have Informed the White House only recently that there Is enough coal on hand to meet normal demands for a wesk or two.

Mississippi Now Threatens Flood Chicago, Jan. 17 mi The lower Mississippi valley mobilized to day to fight major floods as rain swollen Kentucky and Tennessee streams joined the rampaging Wabash and Ohio rivers In a low land onslaught. In the first major Mississippi rivet- alert since 1937, army en gineers warned 12,000 southeast ern Missouri residents that they may have to flee lor their lives. The order also alerted thou sands of residents of Kentucky, Illinois and Tennessee to prepare for high waters. Hundreds or lowland residents in the three states were evacu ated today. snow fell from the Great Lakes westward to the storm-weary Pa cific northwest, and localized bliz zards blasted some areas. Sub-zero cold gripped the north ern border states from Michigan westward to Washington, and the cold air mass rode eastward to the Atlantic seaboard on gusty winds. Warning Sounded Col. Louis H. Foote, district army engineer, warned southeast Missouri -residents from the Ar kansas line north to 29 miles abyve Cairo, 111., that they will have to abandon their homes in the Mississippi bottoms if the Big Birds Point fJew Madrid flood way has to be opened. Opening the lloodway Just be low -Cairo would flood 130,000 acres of farm and timberland, overrun a number of small com munities and effect un estimated 12,000 persons. But it would free much water from the Mississippi's main chan nel and reduce the pressure on the river's levee system. The weather bureau predicted a stage of 55 or 56 feel at Cairo bv Thursday. Flood stage there Is 40 feet. In Kentucky, the Tradewater, Cumberland and Green Rivers rushed toward a turbulent Junc tion with the Ohio. , The Ohio crested at Cincinnati and Its peak waters were rolling downstream toward oft flooded old Shawneetown, III., and the already hard-hit southern Illinois lowlands. At 55-Foot Murk The river nenrod the 55-foot mark on the battered levee that protects old Shawneetown, and engineers there refused to pre dict what the crest would be. The Wabash river pounded at the Vlncennes, Ind., seawall and 500 soldiers worked through the night to complete n m-foot mud- box extension atop the 2!ifoot barrier. A blizzard, riding fiOmilc-an- hour winds, whipped through up per Michigan yesterday and snow fell at an ineli-an-liour rale at Calumet. Thirty inches of the white stuff was on the ground there, and more than .JO schools were closed by the "worst storm in five years." The mercury dived to 30 below zero early today at international rails, Minn., 23 below at Pululli, Minn., and 19 below at Minol. N.D.

Deschutes Rail Work Nearly Done Gateway, Jan. 17 Rebuilding of the rail line from the Columbia river up the Deschutes gorge and across Jefferson county to Red mond and Bend, under way the past three years at a cost of more than $1,000,000, is nearing com pletion on both sides of this most northerly rail station of Jeffer son county. A crew of 65 Japanese has been stationed here, replacing the old rails with heavy steel for serv ing the huge freight trains of the Northern Pacific railway passing through between W i s h r a m, Wash., and Oakland, Calif.
