Byrnes Warns Of Days to
Come: Tells P reduction

WASHINGTON, June l GUP) -
James F. Byrnes, the man President
Roosevelt selected to boss the
American war effort and the civilian
economy, served notice today that
the critical period of war had ar
rived and that America henceforth
must be prepared to assume major
role in military operations against
the Axis.
In a speech last night before
hometown audience at Spartanburg,
S. c., Byrnes showed the full au-
thority of his new post as director
of the Office of War Mobilization
by making disclosures about the
wars progress which usually would
have been reserved for an important
"fireside chat" by Mr.. Roosevelt.
GIVES WARNING
He tempered LIS 'rtimistic report
on the progress Of production,
however, by warning that in the
future production will be but one
part of the broad picture.
I'VE must keep up our all out
production at the same time that
millions of our men are engaged in
all-out attacks" he said. This
will put stresses and strains on our
military machine, on our civilian
economy, on our private lives. .

Undersecretary of Interior Abe For
tas conferred last night with Lewis
and Charles ONeill, spokesman for
northern operators.
1t was understood that Lewis had
proposed agreement on a tentative
contract, presumably embodying his
demand for 50 daily portal-to-portal
pay. The operators were said to
have found the proposal unaccepta-
BILE.
Should no other solution be
found, the government was expected
to take immediate, perhaps drastic
action. If appeals fail. troops may
be sent TO the coal fields.
President Roosevelt told the min
ers a month ago when the govern
ment seized the mines that the gov
ernment would not tolerate a work
stoppage. Later he made it clear
that he expected no second stop
page because the miners were en-
ployees of the government and he
could recall no strike against the
governmnt.
NO FORMAL CALL
The UNIV issued no formal strike
call. But it failed to renew the
working truce which has kept the
mines going since April l. Members
of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and
the outlying states responded by
following the unions traditional
policy: NO contract, no work"
Operators and union officials
agreed to resume negotiations today
and it was possible that those con-
ferences might produce at least
temporary settlement.
Reports from the coal states in
dicated that the bulk of the ma
tons $4,000 UNIV soft and hard
coal miners would be idle by night

The leading coal areas and the
number of miners affected include:

The work stoppage affected the
UMW's 10000 antracite miners as
well as the 45O.000 miners in the
bituminous fields. A bargaining
conference with anthracite operators
was cancelled at Philadelphia late
yesterday, but Ralph E. Taggart,
operators spokesman, said the ne
gotiations would be resumed at New
York today.
