Presidents Wire to Lewis
Miners Warned to Return to Work
Before 10 O'Clock Saturday Morning

the coal industry that have oc-
CURED and are threatened are in
clear violation of the "no-strike"
pledge.
These are not mere strikes
against employers of this in
dustry to enforce collective bar
gaining demands. They are
strikes against the United States
Government itself.
These strikes are a direct in
reference with the prosecution
of the war. They challenge the
governmental machinery that has
been set up for the orderly and
peaceful settlement of all labor
disputes. They challenge the
power of the Government to
carry on the war.
Effect Same as Defeat.
The continuance and spread OF
these strikes would have the
same effect on the course of the
war as a Gripping defeat in the
field.
The production of coal must
continue. Without coal our war
industries cannot produce tanks,
guns and ammunition for our
armed forces. Without these
weapons our sailors on the high
seas and our armies in the field
will be helpless against our en-
emieS.
I am sure that the men who
work in the coal mines, whose
sons and brothers are in the
armed forces, do not want to re-
tard the war effort to which they
have contributed so Loyalty and
in which they with all other
Americans have so much at stake.
Not as President-not as Com
mander in Chief-but as the
friend of the men who work in
the coal mines, appeal to them
to resume work Immediately and
submit their case to the Ma
itonal War Labor Board for final
determination.
I have confidence in the pa
triotism of the miners. am
sure that when they realize the
effect that stopping work at this
time will have upon our boys at
the front, they will return to
their jobs.
The enemy will not wait while
strikes and stoppages run their
course. Therefore, if work at
the mines is not resumed by 10
o'clock Saturday morning I shall
use all the power vested in me
as President and as Commander
in Chief of the Army and Navy
to protect the national interest
and to prevent further interfer-
ence with the successful prosecu-
ton of the war.

By the Associated Press,

The teIt OF telegram Presi-
. dent Roosevelt sent today to John
L. LelUiS and Thomas Kennedy of
the United Mine Workers order
ing the idle soft coal miners to
return to work Immediately fol-
loaDs::
The controversy between the
United Mine Workers of Amer
lea and the operators of the coal
mines has been certified to the
National War Labor Board for
settlement.
The officials of the United Mine
Workers were invited by the
board to recommend a person
for appointment to the panel
charged with investigating the
facts. They ignored the invita-
ton. The board then appointed
Mr.. David B. Robertson of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen to represent
the employees; Mr.. Walter White
to represent the operators and
Mr.. Morris L. Cooke to represent
the public.
The personnel of this panel
assures an impartial investiga-
tion of the facts to be used by
the board in it's determination of
the controversy, in accordance
with the law.
Board Request Ignored.
The officials of the United
Mine Workers of America have
ignored the request of the board
that they present their case to
the National War Labor Board
panel and likewise have ignored
the request of the board that
the strikers be urged to return
to their work. I am advised that
many thousands of miners are
out on strike and strikes are
threatened at many other mines
which now are in operation.
The procedure that has been
followed in this case by the
board is, I am assured, in exact
accord with that followed in all
other controversies of this char
acter.
In view of the statements made
in kilograms to me from some
members of the United Mine
Workers that OPA price regula-
tions have been disregarded and
that the cost of living has gone
up disproportionately in mining
areas, I have directed OPA to
make an immediate investigation
of the facts and wherever a vio-
lation of the law is disclosed by
that investigation, to see that
the violators of the law are
prosecuted.

Musicians Uphold
 Fourteen Dismissals

NEW YORK.-The New York Philharmonic Symphony Societys dis missal of IA musicians at the request of the orchestra's new conductor, Dr. Artur Rodzinski, has been held valid by the American Federation of Mu- sicians executive board.
 The board upheld findings of A.F.M. Local 802 that the dismissals were legal under the union contract since the men had been given notice six weeks before the end of the season.
 Also turned down was the demand of Calmen Fleisig, spokesman for the dismissed musicians, for a membership meeting to consider impeachment pro ceedings against the local admins tration. Not a scintilla of evidence" had been produced to prove that the men were fired because of union ac- tivity, the board found.

Brands Story On CLIO. Conferences As 'Rank
 Falsehood'

The International Association of Machinists through its General ecretary-Treasurer E. C. Davison has issued the following statement denying that the LAM. has any in- tention of joining the C.I.O.:
 Official Circular No. 4Ol Subject: Exposing A Falsehood
 ''To the Order Everywhere,
 ''Ceetings
 ''An article appearing in the daily press of March 30 stated that, Negotiations have been going on for the last week on the West coast for a merger of the LAM. with the U.A.W.-C.I.O. and dis cussions were carried on by Harvey w Brown, Machinists International president, and Richard T. Franken- steen, vice-president of the Auto Workers
 s'In having this article called to our attention by reporters in Wash ington we promptly branded it for what it was-d deliberate tGLse- hood.
 "In checking with the editorial staff of the New York paper that pub lished this statement we learned that the story was based on statement all legedly made by national officer of the Auto Workers Union (C,LO), whose name they declined to disclose. "This is another example of the un- scrupulous propaganda and falsehoods resorted to by the C.I.O. and the pre- judiced public press for reasons best known to themselves.
 ''Our labelling of the story a rank falsehoOd' did not receive the same prominent mention in the daily press as did the original article; neither was there a retrac- ton by the New York paper ,al- though proof was submitted that President Brown was in the East at the time the discussions on the West Coast were allegedly taking place. It was, therefore, decided to issue this circular letter in order that our membership would have the correct information.
 Regardless of our differences with the A.F.L. Executive Council, the LAM. has no intention of deviating from the policy of recognizing and respecting the jurisdiction of trade unions that respect our jurisdiction.
 ssIt is our desire that this com munication be posted on bulletin boards or other public places and copies furnished to your local press.
 sWith best wishes,
 ''Fraternally yours''

 MARGARINE
 Margarine takes 5 ration points a pound, butter takes 8. Margarine costs under 30c, butter costs over Soc. Forti- fled margarine has the same food value as butter. Yet many housewives are afraid they won't like the taste of margarine.
 In controlled taste tests, GU has discovered that the average person is absolutely unable to tell the difference between butter and good brands of margarine. In test after test, persons who were sure they didn't like mar garine couldn't tell which was mar garine and which was butter. Chances are your family won't be able to tell the difference either, especially if you let them try it before you tell them it is margarine.
 As a concession to the dairy trust, margarine must be sold uncolored in most states, with coloring material in separate envelope. That means little extra trouble But the saving in points and pennies is worth it.

 OThis @ That
By ROBERT B. BICKEL

AN EXEMPLARY SPIRIT of labOr-management fair play was shown in the recent appearance of Charles Clark, comptroller, and Jack Whelan, treasurer of Jack the Tire Expert, Hartford, before the appeal committee of New England War Labor Board, in Boston. They joined Nick YanOne, business agent, and Frank Bausola, secretary-treas- urer of Local 59, Teamsters, in ask ing the Board to reconsider its refusal to OK. the contract with the union covering the cOmpany's employees. No little of the credit for the W.L.B.'s reversal of its stand goes to the appeal of Clark and Whelan.
 NOW COMES MORE news of that famous meeting of Mrs. Clare 5. Luce, representative from the Fourth Congressional District and her labor constituents. The daily press painted false picture of that session. It was no love feast. Labor did most of the talking. Like a good politician, Luce said ''nO" to nothing and above all she made no attack on Pres. Roosevelt or the Administration at her labor con- ference.
 ONE SIGNIFICANT thing she did say sVGs: COngressnen like everybody else ,Uanted to keep their jobs ard # they felt that organized labor s0as strong enough to defeai them, they sOOuId listen to ,UIat labor has to say.

CANDY PRICE CEILINGS
By CONSUMERS UNION

CANDY PRICE CEILINGS
 Candy bars-if you can get them still sell at Sc. But there has been a hidden price rise of up to 78%o, Consumers Union reports, after con- pairing present and pre-war weights of 20 brands.
 Forever Yours weighed 4 ounces in 1939. Now it weighs 214 ounces. Baby Ruth has slimmed from 21a to 2 ounces. Rockwood's Sweet Choco- late with Fruit & Nuts, which used to be 7 ounces for Sc, is just 5 ounces now. The one brand compared which has not changed in weight is Tootsie Rolls.
 O.P.A. has taken action against Mars Inc, manufacturers of Forever Yours, for reducing the size of its candy bars last May, without corre- spending reduction in price, after price ceilings had been set So far one judge has ruled against O.P.A. and in favor of Mars Inc. Unless this ruling is reversed on an appeal, price control will be seriously threatened, for other manufacturers will feel entitled to cut quantity without re- ducing price.
 VICTORY GARDENS
 If you've never grown a garden before, this is the year to start. You can do it, if you have piece of ground which gets six hours or more of sun day and is not full of tree roots. But it takes work, water and fer tilizer And it takes little planning
