Strike Initialed
49 Member Union Policy
Committee to Vote
Within Few Hours
Washington, April 10 (U.R)
Representatives of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co. and
the American Union of Tele
phone Workers (NFTW) today
completed a tentative "under
standing" for settlement of the
long lines dispute in the four
day telephone strike.
Union President John J. Mo
ran emphasized, however, that
the agreement must bo approved
by the top policy committee of
the National Federation of Tel
ephone Workers before it can be
signed in contract form.
Given Committee
v Moran took the "understand
ing" before the 49-member un
ion policy committee. A vote
VTwas expected wnmn a lew
"hours.
'I Moran said the tentative
agreement contained "no provi
sion" that the company's pro
posals to the long lines would be
offered to the other striking
NFTW affiliates.
Government conciliators hop
ed a long lino agreement might
set the pattern for a national
settlement.
Moran said he would "make
no recommendation" to the pol
icy committee about accepting or
. rejecting the proposal.
He said it represented the
company's "final offer" on the
union's 10 major demands.
Arbitration Proposed
It was understood that the
company proposal includes na
tional arbitration of the long
distance workers' four money
demands and a settlement of the
union's six other demands.
The money demands involved
are (1) a $12 weekly general
wage increase; (2) elimination
of area differentials; (3) reduc
tion of the promotion schedule
from eight to five years for the
top brackets; and, (4) town
classifications.
G. S. Dring. assistant vice
president of A. T. & T., said the
'tentative agreement" applies
only to the long lines dispute
and does not cover the other 48
unions.
Local Settlements
Issues which he said would be
left to settlement by local units
of the long distance workers are
vacations, leaves of absence for
ties of assistants to traffic opera
tor, pensionsvuinidn shop and
check-off, and jurisdiction over
work.
Acceptance could lead to a
general break in the deadlocked
negotiations to end the commu
nications tieup.
Agree to French
Claims to Saar
Moscow, April 10 yPj The
United States and Britain
agreed tonight to French de
mands for detachment of the
Saar from Germany and eco
nomic integration of the Saar
area with France.
U.S. Secretary of -State Mar
shall proposed that initial steps
to that end be taken by the
council of foreign ministers im
mediately. Both Marshall and British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bev
in opposed, however, a French
proposal that the industrial
Ruhr be detached from Germa
ny. They also rejected the idea
of creating special regimes, in
ternational ownership or inter
national management of basic
German resources in the area.
French Foreign Minister
George Bidault also asked for
the political and economic sep
aration of the Rhineland from
Jpermany. He said "adequate
military forces should be sta
tioned there permanently " add
ing that the Rhineland might
be organized politically as one
or several states enjoying com
plete autonomy."
Although Marshall did not
touch particularly on the pro
posal for autonomy in the
Rhineland, American opposition
could be implied from what he
did say. Bevin, however, spoke
out specifically against that pro
posal. Only Soviet Foreign Minister
V. M. Molotov was silent on
these key issues and he held
what amounted to the right to
approve or to veto immediate
action on the Saar.

Court Asserts
Good Faith Not
Shown by Lewis
Washington, April 10 iPi
Federal Judge T. Alan Golds
borough today postponed for
two weeks a decision on whe
ther to refund to the United
Mine Workers $2,800,000 of the
S3, 500, 000 fine he imposed on
the union for contempt.
In doing so. the judge said "I
regret exceedingly that there
hasn't been good faith" on the
part of the union and its presi
dent, John L. Lewis, in com
plying with a supreme court
mandate.
The supreme court had or
dered the $2,800,000 refund pro
vided Lewis canceled a notice
terminating the UMW contract
with the government. Lewis had
done that.
Goldsborough said he thought
the matter of returning the $2,
800,000 should be put off until
July 1, the date on which the
soft coal mines will be back in
private possession.
But he granted a government
request for the two week delay
with this comment:
No Good Faith
"This court doesn't sec that
good faith can be established in
two weeks."
UMW lawyers had asked for
the refund immediately, con
lending that Lewis and the
UMW had complied with court
orders. The government, how
ver, said it wanted time to de
termine whether there had been
compliance in view of the cur
rent "safety shutdowns" in some
mines.
Secretary of Interior J. A.
Krug declared today that the
record of John L. Lewis' United
Mine Workers on safety in the
coal pits is one of "almost un
broken neglect."
He told a senate public lands
subcommittee the union had
failed to take advantage of the
creation of mine safety commit
tees under the Krug-Lewis coal
contract.
Connally Urges
Aid to Greece
Washington. April 10 &
Senator Tom Connally (D-Tex),
told the senate today that Rus
sian expansion must be stopped
short of Greece and Turkey be
cause the Soviets are aiming for
world domination."
The Texas senator, lop demo
cratic member of the foreign re
lations committee, opened the
senate's third day of debate on
President Truman's proposal to
extend $400,000,000 in financial
and limited military aid to the
two countries with a blunt dec
laration that Russia wants to
"control the destiny of Europe."
"Soviet Russia, by her system
of spreading creeping paralysis
among smaller and weaker na
tions, hopes to bring about world
domination and to control the
destiny of Europe," Connally
said in a prepared address:
"She hungers for 'all the land
that joins me.' "
The former chairman of the
foreign relations committee said
it is his view that the United
States must be frank with Rus
sia and must demand frankness
in return.

President Says Prices Must
Come Down to Stop Wage Rise
' Washington, April 10 (Pi President Truman said today that
unless prices come down wage increases will be justified. The
president told a news conference the justice department is study
ing tnc question of whether
manufacturing concerns can
combine to lower prices without
running afoul of the anti-trust
laws.
Under one supreme court de
cision, Mr. Truman said, it would
be unlawful to combine to cut
prices just as it would be to
group together to raise them.
The president said this survey
is being conducted as one means
of getting prices down since the
government's power over prices
ended last year and it would be
impractical to reinstitute price
controls.

SZZS'.ilSSft&'S; Salem,
Stiif New Bill
On Strikes Gets
GOP Approval
Washington, April 10 tA'i A
stiff new bill to put the brakes
on strikes and unions reached
the voting stage in the house
labor committee today.
Traces of opposition to it still
smouldered among some repub
lican members. Several demo
crats, getting their first look
at the terms, were ready to
swing on it with all their power,
The bill, with a couple of
changes, got the approval yes
terday of republican leaders and
the policy-shaping GOP steering
committee.
Mediation Period
One change would provide a
period of mediation and arbi
tration for settling strikes, such
as the telephone row, which the
bill defines as affecting the na
tional health, welfare and safe
ty. The other would remove a
proposed ban on the union shop
if both management and labor
want one.
The bill still would forbid the
closed shop, under which an
employer may hire only union
members. Under the union shop,
non-union men may be hired,
but they must join the union
soon after going on the payroll.
A strike affecting the national
interest would be handled by
giving the attorney general the
right to ask for a court order to
stave off or stop the tie-up.
Injunctions Validated
The injunction would be good
for 75 to 90 days. During thai
time, mediation and arbitration
would be tried. If that failed
the union still could strike, bul
the government could also get
another injunction and try
again.
A new. independent adminis
trator of the labor relations law
would investigate cases, present
them to the board, and take de
cisions into court for enforce
ment, it necessary.
Across the capitol, indications
were that a milder bill before
the senate labor committee
probably will be toned down
even more when , the members
start voting on it Friday.
As it stands, the preliminary
senate draft outlaws the closed
shop, authorizes temporary in
junctions to block serious
strikes, prohibits secondary boy-
and makes numerous Wagner
iact changes designed to "restore
justice in relations between em
ployers and employes."
Morse (booses
Senate Labor Bill
Washington, April 10 (Pi An
nouncing his own opposition to
the omnibus labor bill on which
senate committee action is due
tomorrow, Senator Morse (R
Ore.) today said he thinks "ev
ery employer in America" should
oppose it.
Morse said he believed con
gress should pass separate bills
dealing with individual aspects
of labor relations.
A former member of the na
tional war labor board, Morse
said in a statement:
"I strongly favor the passage
of labor bills dealing with indi
vidual issues such as amending
the Wagner act to hold unions
responsible for unfair labor acts
and responsible for breach of
their contracts."
Other bills, he said, should be
passed to:
(1) Regulate checkoff of dues;
(2) to provide an independent
mediation, conciliation and arbi
tration service; and (3) to pro
vide a board of inquiry to make
public its findings prior to cessa
tion of work in so-called "na
tional paralysis cases."
there is no necessity for a re
cession.
He plans no message to con
gress on the situation, Mr. Tru
man said. Then he added with
a smile that congress is getting
plenty on this from the general
public.
When informed lhat many
companies are afraid of violat
ing the anti-trust laws if they
combine to cut prices, the presi
dent replied that the department
of justice could prosecute under
the law, but if consulted about
it there would be no prosecution.
