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.

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.

PARITY ISSUE
WASHINGTON, June 23 (P)
The house refused today to back
down from its Insistence that
parity payments be withheld
from 1943 and 1944 crops and
that the agriculture depart
ment's crop insurance program
be abandoned.
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.

The non-operating workers

he favored giving such benefits

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.
