SOFT COAL STRIKE
THREAT CANCELLED
Miners and Operators Agree
to Continue Present Wage
Until June is.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government wiped soft coal
from the list Of threatened breaches
Of President Roosevelt's industrial
truce yesterday. and Immediately set
to work on the troubled rubber labor
situation.
The United Mine Workers and Ap-
palachian Soft Coal Operators agreed
with the N r. A. Governing Board to
continue their present wage and hour
contracts until June Is unless they
reach a new agreement meantime
This action averted a walk-out OF
nearly half a million miners the
United Mine. Workers had threatened
to call tomorrow unless new contracts
were signed by them. The miners
and operators had been deadlocked
in negotiations toward these contracts.
Get Report From Akron.
The National Labor Relations Board
meanwhile received confidential re-
port" on the threatened Akron. Ohio,
rubber workers strike from Ralph A.
Lind. regional director at Cleveland.
At the same time the board ruled that
the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co.
had violated the recovery act in fos-
tering an employees representation
plan at Akron and ordered the COM
pany not to recognize the plan for
collective bargaining until its en-
ployes had decided by board elec-
tion whether they wanted it for their
agent.
The federation's members at the
Goodyear plant are to vote today
whether they want to strike. Fire
stone and Goodrich members are to
vote April Z.
The rubber companies refusal to
recognize the A. F. Of L. unit IS their

agent is the primary issue.
Added to this, talk of strikes in the
automobile and cotton textile indus
tries continued to be heard in labor
circles, but there were no indications
of concrete developments yesterday.

to John L. Lewis, chief of the mine
union, after the union granted N. r.

pitching to get the advantage
over Cronin's men in the impend-
ing series. Earl Whitehill., ace left
handler of the staff, is in trim to
tackle the Red Sox in the opener.
For the games following the Nationals
have Monte Weaver and Hadley
lined up.

somewhat unimpressive, and in justice
to the professor it must be written
that he did not have a really fair
chance in being opposed to Jack

Weaver in his lone time out this
season was nicked for three earned
runs over a five-inning stretch But
Whitehill, with an even break for two
starts, has yielded just five earned
tallies in IS innings.
Hadley, twice winner, has pitched
171s innings, in which the opposition
earned four runs. That is giving up
an average of only 2O3 earned runs per
nine innings; handsome hurting in any
league.
There has been a pickup all along
the line at bat, too, since the Nationals
got away FROM home. In both games
here the Washington club has hit in
double figures. The neW-found punch
got an average of run every two
innings in the two tilts with the AS in
