MEN GIVEN TO MONDAY
 TO RETURN
President May Resort to Various Atfs for Re-
 suming Mining

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Presi- dent Roosevelt has ordered the striking soft coal miners to return to their jobs by next Monday.
 The White House statement says the President has also instructed Fuel Administrator Harold L. Ickes to proceed to reopen the mines closed since last Tuesday on re- fusal of John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers, to work the men without contracts.
 The President said: Just as soon as the miners return to work, dis position of the dispute between the miners and the operators will forthwith proceed under the juris- diction of the War Labor Board in accordance with customary and established procedures of the Gov ernment in all cases of this sort"
 Back to Work Order
 Late yesterday afternoon in- formed quarters said the President was prepared to issue a back to work order by Monday and pro- gram Of more drastic action was being held in reserve if the first demand goes unheeded
 It was said the President would use his wartime power, his author ity under the Selective Service Act and literal enforcement of all laws governing aliens of whom there are thousands among the mine workers, and the use of troops finally if necessary.
 The President has called AFL and CIO leaders, also the full membership of the War Labor Board for a conference at which many issues regarding the walkout of the miners will be taken up
 WASHINGTON, June Presi~ dent Roosevelt this afternoon said striking coal miners and others who have stopped essential war work, are subject to induction where they have been given occu- pational deferments.
 The President declined to answer query at todays conference with the newsmen if troops would be provided for the miners who obey his order and return to work Mon- day.
 Commenting without questioning, the President said there is nothing startling or new about inducting miners or others who are no longer working essentially for the Nation.

GinlIel Eye for 0Wl; Tough, Smart Ex-topy
 Reader Is Now on Job
Bv HACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, June Work ing newspapermen are betting that most future mistakes at the Office of War Information will be killed before they happen. Reason: ED Hoyt, the new domestic director, is a tough, smart ex-copy reader
 Copy desk men are the unsung editors who make newspapers make sense. They edit the copy turned in by reporters and merclessly whack out errors and personal opin- ions.
 It's been the consensus of capital scribes that OWI's releases were long on enthusiasm and opinion, and short on tight editing by a tough copy reader like ED Hoyt. West Coast neWspapermen who know Hoyt say the pamphlet Bat tie Stations for All" for which OWI apologized, would never have passed his gimlet eye.
 Hoyt is now publisher of the Portland Morning Oregonian, one of the top dailies on the Pacific slope. He skyrocketed to the top job on that venerable paper twelve years after he was hired as a copy reader in 1926. In the time it took him to reach the pub fishers office, Ep was reporter, drama editor, night city editor, ex- ecutiye news editor and managing editor.
 He's still close to the copy desk, though. Ever since he began to make policy as an Oregonian exc outive, Hoyt has insisted on cracking good copy desk.
 When Ep took over as one of the editorial chiefs, the Oregonian was known to Portland press club wags as The old Lady of Sixth and Alder streets" F'ront-page makeup was inviolate hv long tradition. old fashioned lengthy headlines and stories that stopped over" inside to run three or four columns had made it respectable but very dull

Goss Urges Grange
10 Hold Line Against
subsidies, High Prices
By he Associated Press.

BY ne ASSOCIATED Press.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Nov. TO-
Albert S. Goss, master of the Ma
tional Grange, called on farmers
today to stand fast not only against
Government food subsidies but
against excessive farm prices as we'll
because both would lead the Nation
to economic suicide.
Striking at food and tax policies
of the Roosevelt administration and
at wage demands of some groups of
organized labor, the farm leader de-
clared civilians must accept some
cuts in living standards during the
war or face disastrous imitation.
18th Convention Opens.
In a speech at the opening session
, OF the 77th annual convention of the
Grange, Mr.. Goss said farmers must
accept and seek either rationing or
price ceilings which will prevent
farm prices from rising too high"
I'VE must be content" he said,
with margins very little above cost.
for we, too, must accept cuts in our
accustomed standards if imitation is
to be licked
Most farm prices are high enough
Mr.. Goss said. adding, however.
that some adjustments among COM
modities are badly needed
Economic Chaos" Seen.
The administrations program for
giving farmers part of their return
in Gov nment subsidies so AS to be
able to roll back consumer prices
was characterized by Mr.. GoSs as a
way to economic chaos" because.
he said, subsidies add to a mounting
public debt at time when most
consumers have more money than
they can spend.
The greatest threat of initiation,
Mr.. GoSs said, is to be found in
surplus spending power. He urged
adoption of an income tax and saw
ings program to drain off extra
money.
Mr.. Goss asserted that industry
and labor-and not agriculture
have led the wartime upward swing
IN price and wages.
The effort to lay the whole blame
on the farmer is not only viciouslv
unfair, but it is flagrantly mislead-
ing. 1t causes people to reach wrong
conclusions and seek abortive
remedies"
