. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1943 ' PAGE THREE BACKGROUND FOR 1 , By United Pint Nineteen thousand coal min ers on strike in Alabama pro vided a background of unrest today for three important con ferences at Washington whicn may bring a showdown on la bor's criticism of the wage sta bilization program. A survey of Alabama coal fields showed that 19,000 miners were idle in the seventh day of their strike, and it appeared the government again might assume control of the mines. At Washington, President Roosevelt summoned his advis ory labor group, headed by Presidents William Green of the FL and Philip Muray of the "CIO, to a conference tomorrow. ' Meanwhile, the WLB prepared for a hearing tomorrow which is certain to affect the Alabama coal strike. The hearing was called at the request of Appa lachian coal operators. Leaders of 15 non-operating railroad unions met at Washing ton to determine their next move in seeking wage increases. At Chicago, chieftains of five op erating railway unions prepared for a three-day meeting Friday to press demands for a $3 per day raise. Observers believed the coal and railroad, disputes were head ing for a crisis, with railroad leaders contemplating a possible strike vote.

Only if congressional commit tees start pursuing inept offi cials may the truth be known. With taxes nearing the en durable limit and repeated bond drives necessary to raise money for the vast expenditures (amounting to $277,400,000 a day in September), the necessi ties of economy assume an im portance beyond any other pend ing subject. The appropriations commit tees have hired additional cler ical help to sift expenditures for waste, but the drive for econ omy has lacked the energy neces sary to make it mean something substantial. This is a job not for one committee or clerks, but for the whole congress represented on every committee, dealing with civilian as well as military ex penditures.
