Captive Mine Operators Urged to Assure
Workers of Union Safeguards

of the union and I have personally
Endorsed this suggestion.
The operators also have given to
the Mediation Board the assurance
in most positive terms that they are
not now opposed to, and do not in
tend to oppose, the voluntary growth
of union membership at their mines.
The issue in dispute. however
strong the feeling about it may be.

in a grave national crisis.
The protective wage clause of the
Appalachian agreement has no bear
ing on this controversy. If the
United Mine Workers sign with the
operators of the captive mines an
agreement which includes no pro-
vision for a closed shop, not single
miner will lose any benefit or ad-
vantage which he now enjoys under
the Appalachian agreement. The
closed shop contracts that have al
ready been signed will stand.

operators who have signed an agree

and the non-strike penalty clause

interest of national defense to con-
tinue to operate under those agree

t2) I am asking all the operators
of the captive mines to reafflrm
their assurances by notice to each
of their employees that they are not
opposed to union organization or
collective bargaining and that they
do not wish to discourage or stand
in the way Of any employe who

The tert OF the Presidents let
ter to Benjamin FdrleSS, Eugene
Grace, Frank PurneU and John
L. Le,Uis in the coal dispute tol-
lO7CS:
"Gentlemen:
AT my conference with you on
November 14th l asked you to con-
slider two suggestions. First, urged
that YOU continue negotiations and
that if you did not arrive at con-
clusion you submit the point or
points at issue to an arbitrator or
arbitrators or anybody else with a
different name, and that in the
meantime coal production in the
captive mines continue. Second. I
urged that you consider other
methods relating to employment, as
the wage question and check-of
were not involved.
You have now informed me that
the negotiations broke down without
| an agreement. The point in dispute
! has not been submitted to arbitra-
ton. Production of coal at the
captive mines has been interrupted
! by strike.
1T is. Of course, absolutely clear
that no one is asking the coal miners
| to give up their union recognition
or their union wage scales or their
union working conditions.
Under the auspices of the Ma
/ tional Defense Mediatio Board.
certain agreements were reached by
/ the coal operators and the United
/ Mine Workers of America, for the
Appalachian area and for other
areas.
Under these agreements the
United Mine Workers are recog-
nized as the sole bargaining agent
for all the workers in and about the
mines. The agreements fix the
highest basic daily wage and the
highest tonnage rates paid miners
anywhere in the world. They pro-
vide in many other ways for the
security of the mine worker under
union auspices. They include union
checkweightmen, union grievance
machinery and mine committees,
union participation in improved
safety practices in the mines and in
disqualification. They eliminate un-
fair deductions from tonnage
checked by the union checkWeight-
men. They eliminate scrip abuses.
They provide annual vacations with
pay and other benefits. The steel
companies have agreed to all these
provisions and are prepared to sign
the agreements.
Single Issue in Dispute.
"A single issue, that of the closed
shop, remains in dispute, but this
issue concerns only ) per cent Of the
mine workers employed in the cap
tive mines. which is one-half of l
per cent-one worker out of every
2OO-of all the mine workers in the
United States.
The National Defense Mediation
Board has recommended that these
non union workers voluntarily join
the United Mine Workers of America
and share with their fellow workers
the burdens as well as the benefits

see that this is done.
Alternative Offered.
Il am therefore asking all OF you,
as patriotic Americans, to accept
one or the other Of the following
alternatives:

On 7-BiIIion Bill,
Fearing Strike Riders
Leaders Hope to Avoid
Hosty, III-Considered
Amendments
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
House action was delayed yester-
day on President Roosevelt's request
for $7,O82, AIS, ,046 additional defense
funds.
Administration leaders decided to
postpone consideration OF the de-
fense bill, informed sources said,
lest it be made a vehicle for strike
curbing legislation.
The feeling of the leadership. it
was said, was that ill-considered
amendments might be hastily tackled
on the bill.
After a conference with Speaker
Rayburn, Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Committee
announced that the nuge new money
bill would not be brought before
the House until the first week of
December. In the meantime, 1t was
explained, the leadership hoped
that the question of curbing de-
fense strikes would be settled.

stafY, spent several hours with the
committee behind closed doors eX-
planning the need for the Army S

used for "a lot more tanks, a lot
more guns and lot more ammuni-

To Head Military
Mission 10 Russia
General, D. c. Native,
Called From Texas Post;
Officials Are Silent

War Department officials refused
today to confirm or deny reports
that Maj. Gen. John N. Greely of
Washington, who left his command
In Texas two weeks ago to come
here, is to head a special United
States military mission to Soviet
Russia.
Gen. Greely. according to reports,

Missions Task Important.
While Army officials here would
not comment on the reported mis-
sion to Russia, it is understood that

1t was reported. will be to consult
with the Soviet general staff on
military matters and supervise the
disposal Of lease-lend supplies
These supplies. chiefly tanks, air
planes and oil. will be sent to Russia
In greater quantities each month.
Whether the mission would mere
" enter Russia by way of Archangel
or make its headquarters there was
not known here. In all matters re-
lating to overseas duties, especially
those of a special nature, War De-
partment policy is to maintain the
utmost secrecy until it Is willing to
make its own announcement.

bv officials as IAN administrative

who now is on a mission in Iran.
Others on foreign missions have
passed through it.
