labor's viewpoint on the unsuccess-
full conferences with steel officials.
Mr.. Grace, Mr.. Fairless and Mr.
Purnell made ne comment as they
reached the White House today,
though a spokesman said when
negotiations were broken of yester-
day that they were still undivided"
in their opposition to a closed or
union shop.
The White House indicated there
would be no immediate presidential
Intervention in the strike pending
study Of the reports from the
union and the steel companies and
receipt of further information on
developments in the struck mines.
President Roosevelt has said that
production of coal for the steel in
dustry must not be interrupted and
1t is understood that the War De-
partment plans to use troops to keep
the mines open have been drafted.
Fever Than 1000 At Work.
Mr.. Lewis told reporters after the
Policy Committee meeting that the
body had taken no action toward
calling out the $4,000 U. M. w.
workers in commercial mines in
support OF the miners in the captive
pits.
There was an indication that Mr..
Lewis expected further rapid fire
developments in Washington, for
he told questioners that he would
remain in the Capital instead of
going to Detroit, where the ma
tional C. I. o. convention opened
today. The Policy Committee after
a brief closed session. broke up but
remained within call, to be ready
for any developments which might
necessitate re-convening.
AS the day wore on, a survey of
strategic areas in Western Pennsyl-
vania's captive mine territory showed
that fewer than 1000 miners re-
ported for work at am Mines in
that area employ about $4,000. At
most mines U. M. w. committees
stood at the gates and notified men
who showed up that the strike was
on. Few miners entered the pits.
Police at Johnstown, Pa. esti-
mated that 325 of the 500 on the day
shift at the Rosedale mine of Beth
lehem Steel Co. went through a
picket line. Last month the same
number defied the strike order.
About 400 employees Of the United
States Coal & Coke Co., a subsidiary
Of United States Steel. stayed away
from work at Lynch. KY, but there
was no picketing there.
During his opening remarks to
members Of the Policy Committee
Mr.. Lewis touched on reports Of pos
sible congressional action in the way
Of anti-strike legislation.
Then why should . Connally of

Il laugh at such q charge and I

The meeting exploded in roar Of
cheers and applause. some members
rising to their feet and calling:
That goes for us, too. John"
Mr.. Lewis also was roundly
cheered by members OF the Policy
Committee when he declared that
"the fight of the U. M. w. Is with
the steel companies and not with
our Government as some would say"

United Mine Workers District 81
representative at Fairmont, W. Va,
asserted union leaders had sought

work but they refused.
Asked If he thought the sympathy
wa,kout would spread to other Sec
tions, Mr. Urbaniak replied:
From the wave Of protests we
have been getting I would say yes.
The situation seems to be getting
out of hand"
Some of the miners voted to walk
out in sympathy yesterday at meet
ings of local unions. Mr.. Urbaniak
said. while others made the decision
when they gathered at the pits this
morning.

The union Official said the Fair

edge of the sympathy strike until
this morning. when it received noti-
fications from some operators and
several local unions.

protests from commercial mine en-
ployes against working while the
captives struck was strongest in

. McKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ

BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America'S Card Authority

The New York Metropolitan is one of the most difficult contests of the year to win. New York has so many fine players that the caliber of play is very high. Therefore, one of the outstanding victories of 194O was that of William O. Warren and James Greenwood, who won the Metropolitan open pair champion ship.
 They took the lead in the first session and many thought they were just lucky. At the end of the sec ond session they were the high qualifying pair, still out in front of the field. When the finals were over, they were announced the winners, then mistake was discovered in the score and it looked as if they would lose the championship by the tiny fraction of 8 of a point.
 But another mistake was found on the score sheet, and these two boys won the championship by 1.2 points.
 You will hear more of these young players in 194l. Here is an example of their skill.
 The boys got to four spades as a save against four hearts, which, in fact, could be made. Two rounds of hearts opened and declarer ruffed the second. He cashed the ace and king of diamonds and ruffed a third, establishing his two long cards.
 Now Greenwood made a brilliant play. The effort to take out trUmps would come to grief if all four ad-

verse trumps were in one hand. The block in trumps, plus the heart or club forces, would kill the long dia- mondS. So Greenwood simply led the ten of hearts from dummy and discarded the ten of clubs!
 This play set the stage for a cross-ruf. If the defenders returned a club or heart, Greenwood would ruff and proceed to cross-ruff equal trumps. If they led trumps to fore stall the cross-ruff, declarer was shaved one force and could then take out trumps to cash the long diamonds, in spite of any trump break,
