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
