TAILINGS BILL

LEASING PLAN
MEETING TOPIC
is WAGE-H0UR

An informal fact-finding confer
ence on leasing systems in the
metal-mining industry will be held
March IS. 1871, at Salt Lake City,
Colonel Philip B. Fleming, Admins
traitor of the Wage and Hour Divi-
sion, U. S. Department Of Labor,
announces. The conference will be
before Dorothy M. Williams, Re
gional Attorney for the Division in
San Francisco.
The conference is being held on
the question of whether lessees of
mine operators are employees I'M
der the Fair Labor Standards Act.
An opinion on this question was
expressed by Colonel Fleming in
July. 1910. at the request OF metal
mine operators and lessees of such
operators in the intermountain
states Colonel Fleming stated that
if under the lease agreement con-
troll and supervision over the opera
tons Of the so-called lessee are re-
served to the lessor, such lease a
greement embodies the normal in
cidents of the emplOyer-employee
relationship and the so-called les
sees will be considered as employees
under the Fair Labor Standards
Act. On the other hand, Colonel
Fleming further stated, if a par
ticular lessee is operating mining
property which is not a part of the
property currently being operated
by the mining company with regu-
lar employees, and if in the lease
agreement the mining company does
not have the right to control the
/ lessee in his operation of the min
ing property it may well be that
the lessee is not an employee of
the mine owner but is in fact an
Independent operator of such pro-
pe,ty.
At the conclusion of the coming
conference the Administrator will
announce a further Interpretation
on the question Of the existence of
the employer-employee relationship
between mine operators and social
ed mining lessees.

u. 5. Requisitioning
Some Cargo Ships;
Britain May GET Them
Four Vessels Already
Taken or Discussed;
List Expected to Grow
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Maritime Commission dis
closed today it had requisitioned
some" American cargo ships for
use in connection with the defense
program.
While officials declined to elabo-
rate, authoritative sources said it was
likely. the ships eventually would be
turned over to Great Britain.
So far, the commission either has
requisitioned or begun discussions
for the requisition of four freight ,rs.
The list, however, is expected TO
grow. ...
1t was thought possible the ships
would be turned over to Britain
as soon as Congress had enacted
legislation giving President Roose-
welt authority to take over foreign
ships now tied up in United States
ports. The ships turned over to
Britain then would be replaced in
the United States merchant marine
by the acquired foreign tonnage.
Freighter Suddenly Diverted.
One of the ships thus far requi-
sitioned is the 6,000-ton freighter
Exemplar of the American Export
Line, which reached New York last
night and is being unloaded on a
night-and-day schedule. This fast
and modern vessel, only a few
months old, was en- route to Boston
from Colombo, Ceylon, when it sud-
denly was diverted to New York un-
der a Government request for all
possible speed in taking it over.
The Robin Doncaster of the Robin
Line also is being taken over by
the commission, it was disclosed.
One Grace Line and one Lykes
Bros. freighter also are expected to
be taken over, but the names of
these ships were not revealed.
Ships in Philippines Questionable.
Gross tonnage of the 81 foreign
vessels tied up in this country and
eligible for requisitioning aggre-
gates 473,762 tons. This does not
include four Danish vessels tied up
in Philippine ports. Some officials
have expressed doubt these four
ships could be requisitioned under
the pending legislation.
Foreign ships tied up in this coun-
try include:
French, IL, 146,541 gross tons;
German, 2, 8,999 gross tons; italian,
rs, 140.450 gross tons; Danish lex
elusive of four in Philippine ports,
IS, 117,076 gross tons; Greek, 2,
6,819 gross tons; Lithuanian, 1, 1855
gross tons; Belgian, 4, 29,603 gross
tons; Estonian, /, 802 gross tons;

London Under Raid
Became Sheer He'll;
Whole Capital Hit
German Assault Described
As Greatest Air Attack
Of All Time
By WILLIAM H. sTONEMAN.

By WILLIAM HI. STONEMAN,
Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
LONDON, April 17-London has
just passed through night of sheer
hell.
From early last night until dawn
this morning, an incessant stream
of German bombers attacked 1t in
the greatest air raid Of all time.
They attacked from great height
and from low down and occasionally
they swooped down through the
balloon barrage to get their shots
home.
They dropped everything you can
imagine and they did not play
favorites among the different parts
of London. They seemed to be at
tacking the whole London area, all
at once, and in practically every
case it was the toughest night any
neighborhood had. They hammered
Southwest London and they plaster
ed the West End. They blew down
buildings in the west central section
and they gave the West End a heavy
dose of fire and INT throughout
the night.
Everybody you met downtown to-
day brought the same story from his
own neighborhood--sheer hell.
1t was officially admitted today
that casualties would be heavy and
that much damage was done.
Chelsea Badly Hammered.
Chelsea, where I live, was badly
knocked about and even the hard
bitten auxiliary firemen admitted II
was the worst night they had ever
seen.
The alarm went just after dinner
and almost at once we could hear
the bombers coming over. There
was a chatter of machine guns as
the British night fighters went tc
work, and far off in the distance q
German machine suddenly took
flame and glided earthward. Thou
sands of incendiaries began to fall
in the distance and soon there were
two big fires which silhouettec
buildings against the glowing sky.
For an hour or so they did moi
drop anything near us, but ther
they started as though they were
out to win the war overnight. FRS
they dropped showers of incen'
diaries; then there came a series OF
bone-shaking crunches as heavy
bombs landed. A window went. We
piled out into the street and triec
to deal with incendiaries. First We
poured sand on them and when the
sand gave out and the incendiaries
kept on falling, We took doormats

Roosevelt Calls
Escort Story
.De|iberateLie
Neutrality Patrols
Weather Reports
In Plain English
By JOHN C. HENRY.

President Roosevelt today classi-'
fed as a deliberate lie a report
published this morning that United
States Navy and Coast Guard ships
are escorting British ships from
United States ports to a convoy
rendezvous in midocean.
The Presidents denial of the story
was given to the press by White
House Secretary Stephen T. Early
in the following statement:
The President of the United
States said this morning that
he thought the author of the story
had very cleverly woven the long
time historic policy of the United
States into a story which is a
deliberate lie"
Patrol Messages Uncoded.
The secretary disclosed at the
same time, however, that the So
called neutrality patrol of Coast
Guard and Navy ships Is making
regular radio reports to the Govern
ment here in uncoded messages
which may be picked up by any
other interested parties, British or
otherwise.
Mr.. Early's first comment on the
morning story was to refer his press
conference to a published denial by
Secretary of the Navy Knox, in
which the cabinet officer declared
there sis not a syllable of truth" in
the report.
Questioned about historic policy
in the statement attributed to the
President, Mr.. Early said it was a
policy of protecting American ship
ping on the high seas. In fact. he
added, this determination led orig
inally to creation of the Navy De-
partment and the employment of
Navy ships and facilities in protect
ing American maritime interests
Patrol Keeps War Away.
The White House secretary's dis
closure about the neutrality patrol
came in response to questioning on
the activities of this ocean outpost.
THE purpose of the patrol" Mr.
Early said, lis to keep the war away
from our front doors-well out. 1t
has been doing that for more than
year, ever since the German in
vasion of Poland"
Asked just what the patrol does
to carry out this function, the sec
retary said 1t observed and reported
to the Navy Department here. To a
question as to whether these reports
might be relayed or passed on to
the British for guidance of their
munitions-laden ships, Mr.. Early re-
piled:
1T isn't necessary to relay them
to anybody. The reports come in by
radio in plain English and any
body can pick them up"
Still Hopes for Georgia Trip.
Mr.. Early also told his press con-
ference this morning that the Presi-
dent still has hopes of going to
Warm Springs, Ga. next week, con-
ttngent on the clearing up of a
measles epidemic at the infantile
paralysis foundation and on the
pressure of business here. Mean
while, it was believed likely the Chief
Executive would spend this week end
in his family home at Hyde Park,
