Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO DRDER m HALTS THIRD COALSTRIKE (Continued From Page One) and others to protest that the main Issue a new contract em bracing portal to portal pay was merely postponed, not set tled. Partial Return Except for the Captive mines, few pits returned immediately to production as local unions awaited receipt of the formal or der to go back to work. Partial crews showed up at some shafts, but operations were far from normal. Despite some expressions from union leaders of dissatisfaction with the settlement, an early check indicated no move to dis regard the policy committee's order. Threat Removed Resumed production for the steel plants although on a re duced scale removed the im mediate threat to war produc tion and led steel company of ficials to cancel plans for furth er curtailment of operations. In addition to specifying that the government must not restore direction of the mines to their owners, the union's back to work order carried a broad indication that the miners would resort to the courts to obtain the under ground travel pay denied them by the WLB. A statement issued in behalf of the Appalachian operators de clared the action of the UMW policy committee "is in direct violation of the war labor board's (WLB) directive of June IS. Issue Unsolved "If the president," said the operators, referring to Mr. Roose velt, "permits the mines to be operated under the terms laid down by John L. Lewis, the main issue goes unresolved. Nothing is settled. The present strike is merely postponed. The main question now is, can Mr. Lewis continue to defy the sole agency designated by the United States government to make final deter minations in labor disputes." The immediate reaction of WLB Chairman William H. Davis to the miners' decision was ex pressed in these words: l "I take Mr. Lewis' statement to mean that the production of coal will be resumed under the conditions, ordered by the war labor board, and I think thats all the country is interested in. It appears that the new deadline is Hallowe'en, when pumpkins frighten children." Claim Uncertain Whether this victory claim was shared by a majority of the board was uncertain. Technical ly Lewis was still in defiance of the board. He refused to sign the contract as directed, calling it "an infamous yellow-dog con tract," even though it appeared he was accepting the wage terms of tha contract. Whether this means the min ers, contrary to traditional pol icy, agreed to work without a contract is a matter of inter pretation. It was possible the WLB might yet protest to the president against Lewis' condition that the government must retain direc tion of the mines.

Since the allies wrested tne Papuan peninsula from the Jap anese last January, their Jungle fighters have infiltrated north west toward the Huon Gulf enemy bases of Salmaua and Lae but little progress has been re ported since it was disclosed on April 26 that the allies command ed ridgetops overlooking jap- anese-held Mubo. Many strafing attacks in the area on enemy positions by allied planes have been made but ground fighting has been virtually at a stand still for many weeks. Today's communique also told of a raid by American Liberator bombers and Australian Beau fighters on the Japanese float plane base of Tabertane on tne Aroe islands, above Darwin. Some of the floatplanes attempt ed to intercept the daylight raid ers. One floatplane was report ed shot down, four others dam aged in the air and two at their base moorings.

Companion Measure Meanwhile Senator Lodge CD- Mass.) introduced a companion measure to one offered in the house Saturday by Rep.

(R-Vt), and Gillette (D- Iowa) who reported it had the backing of the National Grange and virtually all other farm organizations. In effect, the measure would prohibit payment of funds to decrease the retail prices of meats, butter and coffee or any other dairy product unless au thorized by congress.

Sabotage, Air Raids Wreck French Trains (Continued From Page One) behind enemy lines concentrate to crippling transportation, a headquarters spokesman said to day, particularly by putting rail way locomotives out of commis sion. Many locomotives beyond range of the marauding flyers succumbed to the boiler-wreck ing tactics of the saboteurs or are wrecked in derailments en gineered by the guerillas. One of the most successful de railment Jobs recently was car ried out by guerillas on the line between Nevers and Chagny, in central France. Fifty-two Ger mans were killed and 150 in jured in this wreck and traffic was blocked for several days. Another derailment on the same line, the reports said, upset a troop train- moving soldiers to the Russian front The guerillas also have been active in the wrecking of power plants, waterworks and factories. From March 15 to April 15, the reports said, there werejio fewer than 122 acts of sabotage in Savoy, chiefly in power plants.

Fuller Shows Normal Improvement From African Wounds Good news was received Wed nesday by Mr. and Mrs. Walter L. Fuller of 2252 Vine street, when the mailman brought a let ter from Adjutant-General Ulio stating that their son, Sgt. Ray mond E. Fuller is now showing normal improvement from wounds received In action two months ago in the North African area. Previously the family had had word that Raymond was not re covering satisfactorily from his injuries. (Continued From Page One) any difficulty which has present ed itself in an effort to have the plant ' underway here by fall harvest. Potatoes, onions and carrots will probably be the vegetables to be considered for dehydration. The potato acreage is thought to be over the 23,000 acres an nounced earlier in the season and County Agricultural Agent C. A. Henderson said Wednesday that onion acreage was upped from last year's 500 acres to somewhere around 1200 or 1500 acres in the Klamath basin. Although potatoes are consid ered principally at this time, it is quite possible that onions and carrots will prove an even more important dehydrated product from this area. Several companies have con sidered the basin for a dehydra tion plant, but in a few instances the labor question caused inter ested firms to abandon plans. L. Orth Sisemore, chairman of the national affairs and legisla tion committee, reported on a re cent session of his group and there was general roundtable dis cussion. Members of the retail trade committee were announced by C. S. Elliot, chairman. They will include Roy Carter, Elmer Ham den, Dick Nowell, Louis Mar gulis, Innis Roberts, Rex Hiatt, Earl Isaac and Robert Sproat Sr. Rudy Jacobs is vice chairman of this committee. Elliot also urged all members to turn out for the election June 28, at which time the question of purchasing the Butler plunge for the high school will be decided. Final Rites Held For Crash Victim Final rites for Rose Emma Kerrigan. 12-year-old Ashland girl killed with two other young people in an automobile wreck in the Siskiyou mountain area this past weekend, were held from the Williamson River church Sunday afternoon with Rev. Lynn E. Hodges officiating. Interment took place In the Williamson River cemetery. Pall bearers were Hans Anderson, Harold Wright, Jesse Wright Eddie Portras, Charles Fiddler and Martin Lotches.

It had voted against both parity payments and crop Insur ance when it passed the agri culture department appropria tion bill on April 20, but the senate restored the parity pro vision and put into the bill -$7,818,748 for continuance of the crop insurance program. The house refused to accept the changes today. It approved, however, an al lotment of $3,500,000 for liqui dation of the crop insurance program, which Representative Dirksen (R-Ill.) contended' has resulted in losses of $41,000,000 to the government since the program was inaugurated. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) dition that the GOVERNMENT operate the mines. The technical point. Is that he has inus Dy passed the war labor board, which had ordered him to sign a contract with the operators. We outsiders have the uneasy feeling that those handling the coal situation are more concerned with who wins the coal war than with the winning of the war against the Japs and the Ger mans. . TVE'RE fighting hard to break the morale of the Germans at home. The daily cost of this fight IN LIVES is heavy. The lives lost are those of British and American boys. Here on the home front, de velopments such as the coal strike, the zoot-suit war in Los Angeles and the race riots in De troit are STEADILY STIFFEN ING the morale of the German people. If you doubt that statement, check the eagerness with which lyou read reports of civil dis orders in Germany, Italy, etc. You read of them PRAYER FULLY, hoping they are surface indications of deep-seated dis orders that will surely upset the axis apple-cart and bring us vic tory without disastrous cost in lives. We must face flatly the FACT that the versions of our home- front disorders that are reaching the Germans through their prop aganda channels must be giving them enormous encouragement.

Commenting on the commit tee decision, Jean Monnet, min ister of armaments and acting information commissioner, said: "This is unity. Anything else would be unthinkable. The troops will be paid from a com mon treasury. They are al ready one army In fact. Their commanders are responsible to the French committoe of na tional liberation." The decision was "absolutely unanimous In the committee," he said, and added that "it is a practical and realistic method of bringing about a unified, sin gle French army, which is so essential." i E IN PAY SET ASIDE (Continued From Page One dum opinion which will be filed by me within the next 10 days." Vinson did not state whether his forthcoming opinion would have the effect of increasing or decreasing the net pay of rail workers, or whether he was mo tivated by some other consider ation. Workers AMtcUd The non-operating workers affected, members of 15 rail way labor organizations, are employed by class one railroads, railway express agencies, re frigerator car companies, and stockyard -firms which operate railroads. Vinson's order does not mean necessarily tha workers would not get any Increase. While a downward revision of the S cent recommendation was intended by Vinson, it also was possible that the employes would get a further Increase In earnings through time and a half after 40 hours. Presidential Favor . President Roosevelt has said he favored giving such benefits of the wage and hour law to these railway workers, who are now on a 48-hour week. This would mean an average in crease of more than 6 cents an hour in their earnings, aside from any change In basic rates. Thus, it was even possible that the employes would emerge with a net gain of more than 8 cents. -. The 8-cent recommendation was not based on the little steel formula. As a whole, the mil lion employes had received an increase of about 16 per cent. The emergency board, however. made the award "to correct gross inequities and to aid in the effective prosecution of the war." On Business Mrs. Dolly Nan ney, formerly of Klamath Falls, has been spending a few days here on business. She is now western manager of the Farm Journal. sV u'sr.e' bond -I 1 All AD 10 AIIESP1.S PLOWED OPEN The Fort Klamath road to Crulcr Luko national park has been plowed .to A mile Springs and up to government headquar ters' at the park, according to As sistant Superintendent Thomas C.
