items would be so controlled.
He said that OPA had simplified
the system of marginal control and
soon would extend 1t to items other
than foodstuffs.
"Generalizing" Deplored.
j. D. Runkle. general manager OF
Crowley, Miner d Co. Of Detroit
said that one of the dangers in
business today was the habit OF
"generalizing" freely from one sit
uation to another.
"A true merchant" said Mr.
Runkle, never forgets that he is in
business to buy and sell goods and
he always has plenty. Dollars to
doughnuts, the best stores in each
city have the best assortments-
that's why they're the best stores.
Now, in order to make sure that
our buyers really do have proper
assortmentS in stock, we in manage
ment must show some of the ear
marks of the merchant, and throw
away some of the rule books-maybe
all of them before we are through.
Certainly no buyer will buy and
operate in the market today as he
did two years ago. Methods of even
six months ago are obsolete, and
management must make q change
just as will the buyer"

Tighter OPA Controls Due.
DR.. J. Kenneth Galbraith, deputy
administrator of the OPA, said that
the OPA was "over the hump" in
organizing price controls, and that
1943 would bring tighter, and not
lighter, direction.
DR.. Merle Fainsod, director of the

OF the ONCE of Price Administra-

did not plan ANY basic retreat
from its present program.
In special meeting of the Ma

there would be any laxity of price

Logic said the measure would
earmark the entire sum for
salaries and that any unspent
amount at the end of the year
would revert to the general fund
of the state.
The bill repeatedly had been
prepared and ready for intro
duction as soon as an educa-

Kruger President
Comments on Case
Confident Company
viii be Absolved

c. M. Robertson, president of
the Kroger Grocery and Baking
om pany, was asked for his
comments about the indictment
of the Kroger Grocery and Bak-
ing company by a Federal grand
jury in Kansas on charges of vio-
lating the Antitrust Laws.
Mr.. Robertson said, Il prob
ably should not comment on the
indictment as it has not as yet
been served upon the company.
My information in regards to it
is gained mostly from newspa-
per information. The United
States Attorney-Generals staff
submitted the m ter to the
grand jury. and the indictment
is the result.
The law and the facts of the
case have yet to be passed up
on by a Federal Judge and Fed
eral petit jury in Kansas, and
we feel confident that our side
will win.
Il am given the impression
that the real problem or object
i've which is involved is a the
DRY in economics, that bigness
in itself in food distribution as
exemplified by Kroger is eco
nomically unsound. In essence,
the Government wishes us to un-
scramble our eggs and become
$500 (store) units, which i'm
plies that mass buying, mass
distribution, and the large econ
omies in operation which are
passed on to the buying public,
are less important than their
theory Of economics. Another
arm OF our Government is at
this time endeavoring TO rec
ommend the very things that
Kroger is and has been doing for
many years, that is, providing
low cost food to consumers by
buying direct from the farmer
and producer and effecting the
maximum of economies in the
distribution of same"

2,400 Miners
Still on Strike
Bulk of Workers
Obey President

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Jan. %
-(P)-- Only 2,400 miners still
were committed to stay on strike
in the anthracite fields today
after the nations costliest walk
out in man hours lost since Pearl
Harbor, and each of the two To-
cal unions still out had sched-
uled meetings TO consider re-
turning.
A United Mine Workers To-
cal representing 1000 in the
S us quehanna Galleries Com
pany's No. 7 mine arranged a
meeting later today and the
Payne Coal Company Exeter
Colleriery local, with 500 mem
bers, announced it would meet
Sunday.
Thousands ended their part in
h three weeks old wildcat
strike yesterday a few hours
before a deadline set by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who had said
the stoppage was endangering
the war effort.
There was no indication that
the President would take, i'm
mediately, his promised 'neces-
sary steps to reopen mines
whose workers disobeyed his
order, and the UNIV did not i'm
mediately carry out its announc-
ed plan of dishonorably eXpel-
ling any hold-outs.
The Exeter Local voted to
continue the strike only until
the Presidents back to work
command, telegraphed Tuesday,
is delivered in form bearing
Mr.. Roosevelt's signature. Strike
leaders said they hoped to re-
ceive it by Sunday.
The White House said yester-
day the President had learned
of the general compliance with
the order and was confident
that the comparatively few who

associates in the mines"
More than $4,000 of the esti-
mated $4,000 workers in the
mine fields were out at one time
during the walkout, which be-
gan Dec. 80, but only 5000 were
idle on the eve of Mr.. Roose-
velt's back to = work deadline.
Others needed earlier pleas from
the War Labor Board, which
said critical coal shortage was
developing.
Spokesman said the strikers
who returned yesterday did so
as "a courtesy to the President
and that they would not drop
their demands for a 81 day
cost-of-living bonus and So
cent cut in union dues.
Estimates of average m ! n e
wages vary from $3.50 to $3.50
a day. The UNIV dues were in
creased from 81 to l50 month
last October at a UNIV conven-
ton at which strikers said BIZ
luminous coal delegates held UNI
fair power.

II is possible that the wage

placing the one that expires on
April 80. At last weeks hear
ing John l.. Lewis, chief of the
UNIV, said he would join with
the anthracite miners in q de.
mand for wholesale in

Underlying the dues dispute
is the question of whether the
present anthracite agreement, In
providing for a 81 a month de-
duction, actually limits the de-
duction to 81 or whether that
is an expository phrase applying
10 such monthly dues as fixed
by the union.
The UNIV contends that only
another UNIV convention can
revise the dues and thai the un-
ion leaders and executive board
are powerless to make a change.
Lewis warned at the hearing
that every UNIV member must
pay the dues II he wants to re-
main a member.

posed to force the state highway
department to turn over to
county road commissions the
task of maintaining trunkline
highways if the counties desire
it and can meet certain stand
ards.

cations which predominantly are
