President Roosevelt, one Official
stated, seems to be building up a
record patiently in the public's eye,
so that when showdown comes
whether 1t be using troops 10 offer
protection to any miners desiring
to work, or legislation restricting de-
fense strikes-he can point to that
record and say that he has ex-
hausted all reasonable methods.
President Urged to Act.
Mr.. Roosevelt was said to be I'M
der terrific pressure from his ad-
visers to act soon, but no step was
considered likely until after the c.
l. o. policy meeting Saturday.
Army and Navy officials. reliable
sources reported, were in favor Of
using troops Immediately, but cau-
ton is being urged by some who be-
lieve that employment of the Army
would only serve TO unity the miners.
The fact that today was a legal
holiday in four Of the five States af-
fected by the captive mine dispute
obscured to some extent the exact
degree of work stoppage. Thanks
giving was celebrated today in West
Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama and
Illinois, but Pennsylvanians will take
their holiday next Thursday.
Nevertheless, a rough survey yes
terday showed that at least 10000
miners were out on sympathy strikes
in commercial mines. and the strike
was generally effective in the cap
tive pits, although some were op-
Grating on partial basis.
In the Western Pennsylvania
bituminous area, u. NJ w. officials
predicted-and some operators con-
ceded-that all the mines, captive
and commercial, would be shut
down by the end of the week.
President Roosevelt called an
other White House conference for
tomorrow on the threatened strike
of 350.000 railroad men, members
of five operating brotherhoods They
have announced they plan to walk
out December 7 to enforce their de-
mand for a 80 per cent wage in

Formula Supported.
There was almost universal ap-
proval in Congress for the formula
which Mr. Roosevelt advanced yes
terday to get the idle mines back in
production.
The President recommended that
further discussion of the one point
at issue-the closed shop, in his
words-be deferred until the ma
tional emergency is over or that this
question be submitted to arbitration.
with the union and mine operators
agreeing in advance to abide by the
result.
Mr.. Lewis. the field marshal of
: U. NJ. W's fight to win union shop,
replied that officers of the union
had no authority from the men,
bership to agree to anything save
union Shop"-a system under which
all miners would have to join the
union after a probationary employ
ment period.
Turning to the arbitration pro-
posal, he said that he considered
Mr. Roosevelt's recent statements
in the controversy so ''prejudicial"
to the unions claims that he
doubted whether an impartial ar
bitter could be found.
U. S. Steel's View Conflicts.
One of the biggest operators In
the dispute, the United States Steel
Corp, took the opposite position. 1t
announced its readiness to pursue
either of the methods proposed in
the White House formula. The
big steel companies own the captive
mines and use the output of the
pits instead of marketing it COM
mercially as the other soft coal
mines do.
Mr.. Lewis prompt rejection of the
formula on his own behalf was in
terpreted in some quarters as
move that blocked any other action
by the Policy Committee, although
the committee can be counted on
to support him stanchly.

the jump on Philip Murray, national
president of the G. l. o. and vice
president of the u M. w. Mr.. Muir
ray strongly approves of the admin
istration's foreign policy, although
he has been in the opposite camp on

Major Test Of Strength
Comes as CIimux Of
Years Of Litigation
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
QUINCY, Mass, Nov. 20.-The c.
I. 0. lost major test OF strength at
the Fore River Shipyard yesterday
when workers of the Bethlehem
Steel Co.'S biggest shipbuilding
plant, which holds 5000 900 900 in de-
fense contracts. voted 1891 to 1854
against having the c. I. o. represent
them for collective bargaining.
1t was the first defeat suffered in
the Bethlehem chain by the c. I. O.,
which has either won elections or
has majority representation in 10
other of the company's yards on the
East Coast, and which still is nego-
tiating for a master contract" to
embrace all yards.
The C. l. O.'s Industrial Union
of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers
of America, Local 5, was the only
one listed on the ballot. The cleo
ton. conducted by the National La
Dor Relations Board, climaXed years
of litigation between the board and
the company and of intense rivalry
between the c. l. O. and other
unions of Fore River workers.
DR.. A Howard Myers, New Eng
land regional director of the N l..
r. B., said the election was the
largest single plant election ever
conducted by his board and that
the litigation over 2 period of years
since 1894 was the longest in which
his board was concerned.
Attorney Robert Zottoli, counsel
for the Independent Union of Fore
River Workers, which was officially
recognized by the company last
February. said the result was tanta-
mount to victory Tor tnat union
and was "a stepping stone toward
the return OF independent unlonlSm
to power in the United States"
Elnar Edwards, a field representa-
tive for the c. l. O.'s union at Fore
River, said the result would not
alter plans to seek a master con-
tract in other Bethlehem shlpyards
and declared the c. / 0. might
petition for another election at Fore
River at a future date.
