'The labor dispute in this case,
like all other labor disputes, is
within tho jurisdiction of the na
tional labor board under execu
tive order 90X7 of January 1942.
Under the national policy of
economic stabilization by the act
of congress of October 2, 1942
and the president's executive
order of October 3 and its sup
plements, issued in accordance
with that act of congress, if any
wage adjustment is justifiable on
the merits it must be approved
by the national war labor board;
and if it is such as to require au
increase in the price of the pro
duct produced, it could not be
put into effect until it is also
approved by the director of eco
nomic stabilization. .
"This law applies to the coal
miners and coal operators as
well as to every other citizen of
the United States.
"In demanding a wage in
crease and at the same time re
fusing to seek the approval of
the national war labor board,
Mr. Lewis is defying the lawfully
established procedures of the
government of the United States.
Df ianc of Law
'This is not only a defiance
of our laws, but it is also the
only thing that stands in the way
of the working out of a new con

orderly . peaceful procedure in
accordance with the order of the
national war labor board of May
14, 1943 and the national stab

After WPB Ban Off
WASHINGTON, May 17 VP)
Due to the fact that practically
all construction work on recla
mation projects had been stopped
by the war production board, the
house appropriations committee,
in the interior department bill
introduced today, included funds
for only one project, on which
the WPB recently lifted its ban.
This was the Central valley
project in California, for which
the committee allowed $11,500,
000 but recommended that no
funds be expended for construc
tion of a proposed transmission
line from the Shasta substation
to Orovllle. It proposed that the
$400,000 or $500,000 heretofore

swirled against the sluice gates.
"No doubt some means was
employed to float the mines (ad
just the depth) so that they hit
the most vital part," he said.
To hnve attempted to demol
ish the dams with bombs would
have necessitated the use of a
far greater number of aircraft
than was employed and skilful
precision work at the sights, it
was added.
Sir Archibald Sinclair, air
minister, said walls of the Mor
ne and Eder dams were broken.
One backed up 134,000,000 tons
of water and the other 202,
000,000 tons, ho said. Their de
struction constituted a power
ful blow to industrial Germany,
he added.
Heavy Toll
The Germans themselves re
ported officially on the Berlin
radio that the floodtide took a
heavy toll ot casualties.
Both dams produced hydro
electric power for Ruhr valley
industries. The German year
book lists only 30 dams, so the
RAF's night work probably was
a great blow to German indus
tries, it was stated. Repairing
dams is a lengthy task.
Mohn Breached
Subsequently, an air ministry
communique said tho Mohne
dam had been breached for 100
yards and the power station be
yond was swept away by result
ing floods. The dams were at
tacked with mines.
The Eder dam, controlling
the headwaters of the Weser
and Fulda valleys, also was
breached and "photographs
show the river below the dam
in full flood," the ministry said.
The communique said the two
dams controlled two-thirds of
the water storage capacity of
the Ruhr basin.
"The attacks were pressed
home from very low level with
great determination and cool
ness in the face of fierce resist
ance," It said.

Food Ssrious
Grovcr B, Hill, under secre
tary of agriculture, testified at
hearings on the bill that the
food shortage was serious and
the committee said it was
"deeply Impressed by the frank
statement.
"Regardless of how much
food we will produce, it will
not be enough," Hill told the
committee. "Even though we
could produce twice as much
food as we will be able to pro
duce we could use It all. How
ever, I don't think we are going
to go hungry. We will conserve
our food. We will only divide
with our allies to the extent
that we can still have food to
eat; but, for the prosecution of
the war ft would be impossible
for us in this country to pro
duce as much food as we could
use In this war."
Acute in W.t
Hill told the committee the
food shortage was possibly more
acute on the west coast due to
the Influx of war industries and
workers.
The committee said that In
view of Hill's statement It
hoped the WPB would "rein
vestigate and seriously consider
allowing priorities to pormlt re
sumption of work on the 23
reclamation projects."
