CUP - Government action
to try to get the nations coal
mines back to operation be-
fore war production is Grip
pied appeared imminent to-
day With 100000 hard and
soft coal miners on strike,
coal administrator Harold L.
Ickes conferred with his aides,
Later Undersecretary of Interior
Abe Fortas and Assistant Secretary
Michael Strauss we're closeted with
william Warren, public relations
Official.
1t appeared probable that an an
nouncement might be Forthcoming
during the day-probably from
Ickes, possibly from the White
House.
Meanwhile, Deputy Coal Admins
traitor Harold A, Gray told 1.-The
House Ways and Means Committee
that interruption of fuel production
for even few weeks would 1mperll
operation of many railroads, public
utilities, and war industries.
Reports from the major coal-pro-
ducing states indicated the stoppage
in organized mines was complete.
Wildcat strikes which started last
Friday developed into general
walkout when UNIV President John
L. Lewis and the Unions Policy
Committee failed to extend a truce
under which miners had been
working since the last general strike
ended June 7.
Lewis Awaits Ickes Move
Lewis left the next move in his
nearly three months wage dispute
with the operators up to Solid Fuels
Coordinator Harold l.. Ickes, the
governments custodian of the
mines. In rejecting the War Labor
Boards proposed pact as "a yellow
dog contract" Lewis gave the
UMW's unconditional offer to work
for the government ITSELF
Ickes, who cancelled scheruled
trip to Columbus, O., to address the
governors conference, is expected to
try to reopen the mines at once.
Failing that, President Roosevelt's
intervention is strong probability.
During the last strike he threat
ened to cancel the Miners draft &C.
cupational deferments. This time he
has on his desk a congressional-ap-
proved anti-strike bill giving the
government power to fine and jail
Lewis. Mr.. Roosevelt must sign, veto
or allow that bill to become law this
week
Lewis rejection of the WLB pro-
posed contract and the miners fail
ure to extend their old contract
touched off an automatic strike at
midnight-the true deadline set by
Lewis. No public notice was sent to
the miners. They merely followed
traditional policy-no contract, no
work.
See Plant Shutdown
Sufficient coal is above ground to
keep war plants going for a while.
but the uneven distribution of 1t Is
expected to be felt soon with notices
of steel furnaces shutting down.
The only apparent avenue of
breaking the impasse lay in the
government retaining control for
duration of the mines that were
saized by Ickes on May l.
Should the miners return to work
under an agreement with the gov
eminent and without further wage
however, the outcome
of the long dispute would represent
a defeat for Lewis.

Then came the building Of the
Burma road, and across the border
in China, in nearby Lowing, an
American-operated aircraft factory.
In addition to working at his own
hospital, DR.. Seagrave undertook to
superintend the new one at the
factory. Then came epidemics of
cholera, malaria and blackwater
fever. Not only did the mosquitoes
and flies have to be fought, but there
was native fear and prejudice
against NEGOTIATIONS to be overcome.
And always there was the battle for
enough medicine.
When the Japs came, DR.. Seagrave
organized medical unit for the
British Army. His task was the
treatment of casualties along the
300-mile Chinese front. They arrived
by the hundreds. Under lombard
ment, in terrific heat, constantly
shifting from one improvised shelter
to another, DR.. Seagrave and his
nurses operated until they dropped
from utter exhaustion.
In India now, the doctor is trying
to recover from malaria and is max
ing plans for a hospital to care for
Burmese refugees.

their trials and their triumphs, Is
told in all humility and with good
humor DR.. Seagrave and his wife
Tiny settled in the North Shan
States wilderness, under the spon-
sorship of the American Baptist
Foreign Mission. Their first hospital
was termite-infested building with
20 equally termite-ridden beds. The
doctors only equipment was a waste
basketful of broken-down surgical
instruments salvaged from Johns
Hopkins Hospital.
The first night, he and his wife
Wept in each others arms. But the
days and years that followed were
much too busy for weeping. The
jungle lay all about them. teeming
with the diseased and manned. The
author first trained nurses from
among tribes of different tempera-
ment and language, a task requiring
delicate understanding and patience.
Then he began building his hospital,
wing by wing, every stone and board
of which he, his wife, nurses and a
miscellaneous crew of coerced help
ers had to haul and pound person.

pital. And from it other hospitals

present propinquity of these por-
traits, here in the National Gallery,
recalls, by accident, the fact that,
oddly enough, while Harding and
Elliott may not have known each
other, it was Frederic Delano's ma
ternal grandfather, Judge Lyman of
Northampton, Mass, who was Hard
lng's most stanch friend and patron
and Harding was, during Elliott's
young years, the painter to whom he
especially looked up to and followed.
The Lawrence portrait appears to
excellent advantage as now hung,
and gives, as ever, occasion for pride
among Americans and increased de-
termination to retain those princi-
pies for which the Lawrences and
the Delanos have always stood. A
visitor making the rounds of the
gallery recently was seen to pause
before Harding's work, and looking
up into Lawrence's face, heard to
exclaim-"What a wise, kind mani"
Thus it is that, through these
painters, our American tradition is
upheld and standard set for all
tlme-one of which we may we'll be
proud.

Otamps
By James Waldo Fa,OceH,

A propaganda for the propaganda
stamps of the United States soon
will be launched by the Once of
War Information.
The adhesives now being issued
to puhlicize the so-called com
quered' countries of Europe obvi-
ously should have been pushed
by all the educational agencies of
the Government from the start.
Why they were neglected is a mys-
terry which neither Post Office De-
partment nor owl officials can
solve.
Short wave broadcasts and
handouts" to foreign language
newspapers mentioning the series,
1t Is said. have been included in
owl procedure; but more impor-s
tant facilities have been ignored.
The SC Netherlands stamp, for ex-
ample, went on sale in the Office OF
Postmaster Vincent C. Burke on
Tuesday. Deputy Third Assistant
Postmaster General Roy M. North
and DR.. Alexander Loudon, Ambas-,
sador of the Netherlands, were
photographed with a sheet of the
new issues in their hands. The In
formation Service of the Post ONCE !
Department then distributed pub
hcity release Of is lines. Nothing
else happened.
But suppose the Netherlands
stamp had been put on sale an
town with symbolic name
Orange, N. j., for example-and the
first sheet sold to the Crown Princess
Juliana in the course of a ceremony
covered" by the press, the radio
and the movies as an event of inn
portance ought to be: suppose Queen
Wilhelmina and President Roose-
welt had sent personal messages to
be read at such ceremony and that
representatives of the Dutch-Ameri-
cans Of Colonial ancestry and
spokesman for the legitimate gov
eminent of the Netherlands-say,,
members of the Dutch Parliament
had participated in the program,
and suppose delegates from the diff
ferent philatelic societies, men and
women who helped to design and to
print the stamp, Dutch and Arneri-'
can veterans of the war in Europe
and the other, more distant war In
the Orient-in short, suppose the
Netherlands adhesive had been
dramatized, then it would have
been worth issuing.
Four such occasions have been
missed, but at least seven-possibly
10 or dozen-still may be utilized
to full effect If owl gets busy
promptly. 49,
Forest Hall, administrative as
sistant to the Postmaster General,
has promised to take the matter up
with owl constructively, and Leo
Pineus of owl headquarters has
pledged his cooperation.

Fine Exhibits of Islamic Art

In the Howard University exhibition.
One of the most impressive pieces
OF Rhages ware is large cream
colored bowl with a blue rope de-
sign, inside the loops of which are
human figures and human-headed
birds and gold scroll design over
the background.
The metalwork, because of its dark
bronze color, and the textiles, small
fragments framed under glass, are
less interesting from the popular
standpoint. But they should be val
liable to students of design.
Commission to SaIvaae Art
Every one who loves and admires
Europe's art treasures, from Gothic
cathedrals to miniatures, must have
reJoiced at the announcement of the
State Department eight days ago
published in The Star for August
I'D that an American commission
had been established for the protec-
ton and salvage of artistic and his
torlc monuments In Europe. It will
work with similar commissions in
other countries,
1t is matter for local pride that
half the members of the commits
sion are Westinghouse: Justice
Roberts of the Supreme Court
chairman, Mr.. Finley and Mr.
Cairns of the National Gallery and
Mr.. MacLeish. librarian of Congress
There are so many appalling as
poets to the present war that un-
precedented destruction OF Europe's
art heritage has probably been mini
mixed in comparison with the I'D
roofing of whole populations, sys-
tematic starvation and massacre of
millions. Space does not permit
mention here of the colossal thievery
OF art treasures carried on by the
Germans, but much of it must be
a familiar story to persons who read
the art press. Restoration of works
of art to their rightful owners Cn
many instances nations, as well as
individually is but one Of the Her
culean tasks awaiting the new COM
mission.
