FDR ARGUMENT
REJECTED BY
'HOUSE, SENATE
(Continued From Page One)
John L. Lewli of the United Mine
Worker.
It provides Jail termi and fines
for. persons, instigating a strike
In a plant or mine taken over
by the government.
The chief executive said in a
message to the senate that the
measure had an entirely praise
worthy purpose but that he was
convinced it would in some cases
produce strikes "in vital war
plants which otherwise woum
not occur."
. . .Recommends Induction
Declaring he intended to use
the powers of government to pre
vent the interruption of war pro
duction by strikes, Mr. Roose
velt formally recommended
amendment of the selective serv
ice act so that persons between
45 and 65 years may be induct
ed into non-combat military serv
ice. "This will enable us," he said,
"to induct into military service
all persons who engage in
strikes, stoppages, or other in
terruptions of work in plants in
the possession of the United
States.
"Seen necessary
This direct approach is neces
sary to insure the continuity of
war work. The only alternative
would be to extend the principle
of selective service and make it
universal in character."
He said he would approve leg
islation which would truly
strengthen the hands of the gov
ernment in dealing with strikes
harming the war effort and
which would prevent defiance of
decisions of the war labor board.
Hits Secret Ballot
The president struck heavily
at a section of the bill which
would make it mandatory for the
national labor relations board to
take a secret strike ballot among
employes in plants, mines and
other facilities 30 days after no
tic of an intention to strike.
This section, he said, "will pro
duce strikes in vital war plants
which otherwise would not oc
cur." He said it ignores completely
labor's no strike pledge and pro
vides in effect for strike notices
and strike1 ballots. These pro
visions, . he contended, "would
stimulate 4abor unrest and give
government sanction to strike
agitations."
The veto came as no surprise
at the capital, since the chief
executive had said in a statement
Tuesday he intended to ask con
gress to authorize the use of the
selective service act as a club
against strikes in war industries.
His proposal to use the draft
in this manner met with a cool
reception In both the senate and
house, and, even before the veto
message arrived, there was talk
of immediate attempts to over
ride the president's action and
write the proposal into law.

plan to attack Russia again this
summer. It is believed that our
sustained bombing has some
thing to do with the loose screw.
AN "unofficial source" In Lon
don says the Germans are
PULLING IN some of their
Mediterranean garrisons, notably
those in Sicily, Sardinia and Cor
sica, where only Italians are left.
He says the axis has 75 divisions
(about 1.125,000 men) in Yugo
slavia, Greece, Crete and some
of the larger Aegean islands.
That suggests that the Ger
mans think the big push from
the south will come by way of
the Balkans.
Bolstering this idea, 50 Amer
ican Liberators, operating from
bases somewhere at the east end
of the Mediterranean, hit Salon
ika, which is the entrance to the
Vardar-Struma gate into the
European fortress.
TN the news from the Mediter
ranean today, this signif
icant sentence occurs: "Once
again allied planes RULED THE
AIR." Getting complete com
mand of the air will be the
FIRST step to be taken before
there is ANY invasion of Europe.

"Strong fighter oposition was.
encountered and many of the en
emy were destroyed by the
bombers, which were unescort
ed. 'Eighteen bombers are miss
ing." (end text)
Mine-laying was included In
RAF operations last night.
The RAF attack was concen
trated on the industrial area of
Elberfeld, the western section of
Wuppertal, the air ministry said.
The attack was nearly as
heavy as that recently made on
Barmen, the eastern half of Wup
pertal, and from preliminary re
ports great damage appears to
have been done," a communique
declared.'
Heavy defensive activity was
reported by the fliers who re
turned from the area, which Hit'
ler has packed with anti-aircraft
guns, searchlight batteries and
fighter planes in an effort to
stave off the battering being
given his heavy industries in the
region.
The German communique said
"losses among the populations of
the towns attacked are heavy."
The communique, broadcast by
Berlin and recorded by The As
sociated Press, said several
towns were hit, "in particular
Wuppertal-Elberfeld and Rems
cheid." Remscheid, near Wup
pertal, is a center of the Ger
man tool industry and has im
portant railway repair shops.
The Barmen area of Wud-
pertal got a heavy saturation at
tack May 29 when 1500 tons or
more of. bombs were laid on the
sprawling industrial area which
occupies both sides of the Wup
per river.

END OF COAL REVOLT
(Continued From Page One)
mediately of the effect of the
latest statement by the war
labor board, indicating it con
sidered the coal case now mere
ly one in which the union
should obey its decision of last
June '18 and sign the contract
the WLB dictated. Few of the
miners knew of this develop
ment until today.
The eastern Pennsylvania an
thracite region reported that
6500 men in collieries of the
Shenandoah, Pa., area who
worked yesterday voted to stay
out today. This was offset by
the vote of the three largest
locals in Lackawanna county
to return to work. An Associat
ed Press survey indicated 39,
000 of the 83.000 hard coal
miners were Idle yesterday.
West Virginia estimated about
25 per cent of its 130,000 min
ers remained on strike.
Return
In the Pennsylvania soft coal
fields, where an estimated 60,
000 of the 117,000 miners re
mained idle, a break occurred
last night in the ranks of the
strikers when locals of the
Gates and Palmer mines of the
H. C. Frick Coke company, em
ploying 2100 men near Union
town, voted to return to work.
Operators estimated about 40
per cent of the 36,000 miners in
Pittsburgh's district 5 worked
yesterday.
HALT OPERATIONS
WILKES BARRE, Pa., June
25 (IP) All 30 mines in the

halted operations today as ap
proximately 11,000 more work
ers joined a revolt in the an
thracite field against a back to
work order of the UMWi na-
tional policy committee.
The action swelled the num
ber Idle to approximately two-
thirds of the 83,000 men em
ployed in the industry.

DADS DOOMED
TD LIFE Of
WASHINGTON, June 25 W
Despite public and congressional
pressure, don't expect the offi
cial cards to be laid on the table
any time soon as far as drafting
the nation's pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers Is concerned.
That was the comment today
of D. C. Speaker, unofficial but
well Informed capital news
source, who noted the demand of
the house military committee
that the country's dads be re
lieved of their uncertainty.
"Of course, I'm no official."
said D. C, mythical District of
Columbia observer who repre
sents authentic but unquotable
sources, "and personally, I stand
by my prediction last week that,
barring a major military upset,
the general drafting of fathers
will be postponed again and
again and perhaps 1 n d e f I
nitely." However, he continued, the of
ficials themselves are not likely
to make any such predictions
one way or the other.
"In the first place." Speaker
explained, "most of the demands
have been aimed at Selective
Service Director Hershey, and,
despite his authoritatlv position,
his hands are tied."
He stressed that Hershey is
unanswerable to the army and
navy, and that their attitude on
thee subject Is ote of traditional
reticence, for number of rea
sons. King George

The smile disappeared when

While luggage was being un
loaded from the plane, tho king
chatted with Churchill about
his experiences. Then the two

The king's pilot, who flew
the plane on the entire 5800
mile journey, said the trip home
was completely uneventful and
that the monarch spent most of

board would have little stand
ing, for It was set up only by
executive order not legislation
and has no plenary power
except what President Roose
velt would exercise for it.
John L. Lewis and his United
Mine Workers (UMW) however,
reckon they're working for the
government, not the operators.
Under the government's condi
tions, Lewis said the men would
work until October 31, though
the back-to-work movement hns
been slow and production still
is spotty.
Those same conditions, as ex
tended by the operators, con
stituted a "yellow dog con
tract," in Lewis' words.
This set up facts raised a
mighty Question as to whether
Lewis would put his signature
to tho same document that bears
the names of the operators.
The WLB In a brief state
ment late yesterday, said the
labor dispute had been determ
ined finally when it directed
the 521,000 strikers to accept
substantially tho terms of the
1941-1942 contract, plus a few
WLB concessions that sdded up
to pay raises of about 20 cents
a day. Hence, the board fig
ured that a new contract on
that basis should be signed.
This stand was announced
after Interior Secretary Ickcs,
government operator of the
mines, had referred in sum
moning owners to a conference
today to "the controversy be
tween the mine workers and
the operators," and expressing
hope it would be settled speed
ily. Immediately the WLB shot
back that it had made the final
determination of the dispute and
as far as it was concerned, there
wasn't any controversy.
Meantime thousands still re
mained away from their jobs
but predictions were plenty that
the rank and file would be
digging coal shortly.
About half of Pennsylvania's
200,000 miners, including the
anthracite belt, still were ab
sent. Absenteeism averaged
about 25 per cent In West Vir
ginia, 50 per cent in Ohio. Al
most all of Alabama's 26,000
were still out snd little more
than half of Kentucky's work
ers returned.
