Lewis Says Roosevelt
Order Leaves Miners
Plight Unchanged
New York PorIey Stymied
As Conferees Awoit
WlB Action Today
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 9.-John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, declared today that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's hold the line" or
der against imitation left the problem
OF the mine industry unchanged, and
left "the mine workers still hungry
and resentful in having their de-
mands for bread made a political
pawn"
AS negotiations were resumed here
for a new contract in the Appala-
chan bituminous coal fields, which
would cover 100000 union members,
Mr.. Lewis issued a formal statement
in which he said miners, wages were
"substandard."
The Presidents order would hold
wages to the little steel" formula
and authorize no increases except
where clearly necessary to correct
substandards of living"
The union seeks a S2-a-day wage
increase and minimum of So a
day for all who work in the coal
fields-which would be in excess
Of the IS per cent wage increase
/ which the "little steel" formula per-
mits to compensate for increased
living costs between January /, 194l,
and May, 1912.
The Lewis statement, issued at a
general press conference, said:
THE problem of the mining in
dustry remains unchanged. It's
contracts are expiring on April 30.
The mine workers desire to utilize
the intervening time in negotia-
tions. The issuance of the Pres
ident's statement yesterday leaves
the mine workers still hungry and
resentful in having their demands
for bread made a political pawn"
Mr.. Lewis said further:
Their wages are still substand-
ard. The cost of food in mining
| communities has gone up 124.6 per
cent since August, 1899. The decree
of the Fifth Circuit Court of Ap-
peals dated March 16 remains un-
changed by the Presidents executive
order, and constitutes an illegal
estoppel against the mine workers
executing an agreement that does
not conform with the Federal statute
| and the courts decree.
There is an increasing obligation
on this collective bargaining confer
ence to work out an agreement, rep
resenting the requirements of this
basic and essential industry and rec
ommending Its acceptance by the
Government"

WLB Refers Coal Dispute
Back 10 Labor Secretary
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board refused
today to take immediate jurisdiction
of the Southern soft coal wage dis
pute by referring to Secretary of
Labor Perkins a telegram from the
Southern operators requesting in
tervention.
The board sent the telegram to
the Secretary with letter of trans
initial which said, There is trans
mitted to you herewith for your con-
sideration a telegram received from
the Operators Negotiating Com
mittee of the Southern Appalachian
Joint Wage Conference.
The effect of the boards action. at
least for the present, was to leave
to Miss Perkins the question of
whether the dispute is to be certified
to the board. That is the customary
procedure for all dispute cases, but

Heavy RAF Attack
On Ruhr Resumes
Aerial Offensive
Weather Prevents Full
Observance of Results;
2l Bombers Lost
BY the Associated Press,

LONDON, April 9.-The Raj,
resuming the Allied aerial often
sive against Western Europe
after lapse of three nights, at
tackled targets in the industrial
Ruhr Valley last night in a raid
from which 81 bombers failed to
return, the Air Ministry an
nounced today.
The attack, in which some of
Britain's biggest bombers partici-
pated, was described officially as
heavy" but the weather over Ger
many was bad and 1t was difficult
to observe full results, communi-
que said.
An enemy plane which took ad-
vantage Of high cloud to cross
the coast and head for London
caused AFRAID warnings to sound in
the capital before noon today, but
the al-clear was declared shortly
afterWard without any report of
bomos dropped
Specific targets in the Ruhr raid
last night were not disclosed OBJ
jectives in previous raids on this
oft-bombed area have included the
great manufacturing centers Of Es-
sen and Duisburg.
Ruhr Defenses Strong.
The Ruhr was last bombed the
night of April when a great feet
of four-engined British Warplanes
unloaded 900-ton cargo of expao-
sives on Essen, home of the giant
Krupp armament works, which was
raided twice in March. Twenty-one
bombers also were lost in that as
sault.
The anti-aircraft defenses of the
Ruhr are regarded here as the
strongest in Nazi-dominated Europe.
According to the best information
available in Raj quarters in London,
more than 1000 heavy guns are con-
centrated in that area, including 300
at Essen alone. For every heavy
gun there are reported to be at least
two light ones. More than 500
searchlights also are located there.
In addition to stabbing at the Ruhr
last night the RAF laid mines in
enemy waters, the Air Ministry said.
- The Berlin radio said merely that
British bombers had attacked West
ern Germany and reported "a con-
siderable number" of the raiders had
been shot down.
Wireless Station Shot Up.
The night raid followed series of
RAF fighter forays over Northern
France yesterday, during which a
wireless station near Ushant was
reported shot up.
Fight bombers escorted by Ty-
phoon and Spitfire fighters also
bombed an enemy airfield at Trique-
vile near LIE Havre last evening.
Two RAF planes were reported miss
ing in these sweeps.
The RATS last major raid on the
continent was Sunday nights heavy
attack on Kiel. Four -motored Amer
ican bombers blasted the Erla air.
craft works at Antwerp, Belgium, the
following day, but since then Allied
air activity has been on compara-
lively minor scale.
Meanwhile the Air Ministry news
service disclosed that a Polish air
squadron operating with the coastal
command of the Raj had sunk two
German submarines in two days in
daring low-level attacks launched
from bases in Britain.
The date of these successes was not
given.
