Speed in Negotiating
Coal Wage Contract
Is Urged by |ckes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
urged speed on soft coal opera
tors and miners today in their
negotiations for a wage contract
Appearing before a joint meeting
of union and management repre-
sentatives, the Government Gus
todian of the seized mines made q
vigorous appeal for a national con-
tract to assure peace in the industry
and bring about restoration of the
mines to their owners.
Mr.. Ickes' call for action came
while John L. Lewis maneuvered tc
overcome the opposition of Southern
operators to portal-to-portal con.
tract, or to split their forces
1873 More Mines Released.
Secretary Ickes also announced
termination of Government posses
sion and control Of the mines of 13e
additional bituminous producing
companies.
The action was taken, Mr.. Ickes
said. on advice that no strikes OF
Istoppages have occurred in the
mines since October Is and that
none is threatened. The mines were
seized November /.
Earlier the mines of 43 other COM
panies were released.
Representatives of about 100000
900 tons out of a 600000,000 annua
potential are ready to do business
with Mr.. Lewis on the basis of his
agreement with Secretary -Ickes
Mr.. Lewis wants larger proportion
to join up and to make virtually ar
industry wide agreement.
Burke Objects to Method.
Edward R. Burke, president of the
Southern Coal Producers Associa
ton, apparently holds the key to
about 160,000,000 tons, the only ma
jor group still resisting the portal.
to-portal form of agreement. Tht
former Nebraska Senator proposes
an immediate contract which will
not reduce the miners present earn.
ings, but he objects to the present
method of assuming certain trave
time figures.
The union leadership has opened
an attack on Mr. Burke and is trying
to convert some of his following and
to leave him isolated with a rela-
lively small tonnage. Pressure or
Mr.. Burke may take other forms
such as strikes or slowdowns.
Willing to Pay Flat Sum.
The present nine-hour portal-to-
portal (underground) day permits
Is minutes for lunch and assumes
an average of As minutes travelling
leaving eight hours for production
Wherever travel time exceeds Al
minutes, production declines in di-
rect proportion. Mr.. Burke proposes
an assured eight hours production
instead Of any assumed figure and Is
willing to pay fiat sum for travel
ing as working condition to match
the miners present earnings under
the Ickes-Lewis agreement.
Over the week end Sterilization
Director Fred M. Vinson authorized
soft coal price increases averaging
II cents a ton and Mr.. Ickes an
nounced production in the week
ended November 20 was the greatest
in 16 years. The total output was
II, ,700, 900 tons. That mark was last
exceeded in March, 1927, when 49,
320, 900 tons were mined in one week
The all-time high was 1851 900
recorded In December, 1926.

Stiff Policy for Nazis
Outlined as Relief
Farley Nears Close
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 9th.
United Nations Relief and Rehabili.
tation Administration moved today
toward the close OF its first confer.
ence with four provisions writer
into its plans pointing to a stiff
peace policy for Germany.
The Polish delegation started /,
of by suggesting both in committee
and to the press that at the wars
end the Axis will have surplus sup
plies which can be appropriated fol
use in building up plundered coun-
tries.
In substance, the Polish suggestion
was accepted for adoption by the
council.
1t has been recognized here that
some relief work will have to be
done in Germany and her satellites
for the purpose of keeping United
Nations military lines open.
PhrasinE Restricted.
The Committee on Scope was
ready to adopt the principle that
the Axis should carry the burden
of relief COSTS" when health authori-
ties said that enemy countries might
not have the wherewithal to finance
health work done in its territory,
should epidemics spread. So the
clause was suggested: Should carry
relief costs to the fullest extent pos
sible."
The European delegates stood to-
gether in solid bloc to veto the
phrase. 1t implied a loophole for
Germany, it was said, and they
feared the reaction of their peoples,
still under the Axis yoke, should
they hear the provision over short
wave radio.
The phrase was killed. leaving
the implication that the European
delegation intends to make the
Axis pay, and without reservation.
Then Norwegian Ambassador
Wilhelm Munthe de Morgenstierne
discussing the future Of his country,
stated that he hoped to see Ger
many pay in kind" from the out
set. He said he would consider it
entirely fair if Germany replaced
the Norwegian shipping she has
sunk, estimated at 100000 tons, or
slightly more than half of the Nor
wegian merchant marine.
Will Retrieve Loot.
Committee reports already had
been approved yesterday when the
European delegates injected
further Interpretation. for the
record, of the principle that the
Axis give up its surplus supplies.
They wanted it made clear that
member governments of the United
Nations be left a free hand to re-
trieve the loot which Germany has
removed from their countries.
The provision was requested pri-
marily to permit nations to retrieve
their artistic treasures, it was re-
ported, but it was understood to
apply to machinery as well.
At a press conference the Neither
lands delegate, p A. Kerstens, said,
1T is my definite belief that Ger
many must never again be restored
to her position as major industrial
power"
Would Bypass Nazis.
Kerstens said that, as minister OF
economics, he already has had con-
versations with officials of the exiled
governments Of Czechoslovakia. Po-
land and Belgium looking toward a
production system in which the in
vaded countries can buy and sell
among themselves. thereby by
passing Germany from whom they
have traditionally bought a great
deal of manufactured products.
Committee reports. except for a
few changes, are ready for adoption
by the full council today, and the
session is scheduled to end Wednes-
day.

ton, a committee member.
Declaring that the investigation

He said that if his investigation
substantiated reports that the COM

gotten off the track" he would
recommend the committee make its
report to Congress or alter its
pattern.
Mr.. Magnuson asserted that no

the committee two months ago to

pointed out that it was his under

He said that after he had made
other plans and had left for his

notified by telegram that the inquiry
would continue. AS result, he was
unable to attend subsequent hear
ings. he said.
II am seriously concerned about
