The miners answer was that OPP
orators should desist in their con-
tinual rejection of mine workers
proposals and initiate counterpro-
posals covering the major points
involved
The operators asked an indem-
nifty against strikes unauthorized by
the international UNIV board. Be-
sides four proposals to which they
might accede lin substance" oper-
ators added they might be able to
adjust to three other miners de-
mands, but contended any other
concessions would completely de-
stroy the anthracite industry and
the national economy"
The four demands they referred
to included elimination of the pres
ent six-day week until the end of
the war emergency; bringing rate
sheets up to date with supplement
tai agreements recorded therein
concluding the agreement for a
one-year period, without, however,
a thirty-day termination clause;
writing in of a new section cover
ing dues collection.
The three demands which opera
tors said might be adjusted involve
ablishment of minimum shift
rates for all classifications of en-
ployees, continuous shift operations,
and vacations.
Rejecting all other demands, OPP
orators said wage rates today equal
or exceed the Presidents directive
limiting increase in wages" adding
that increased earnings have
greatly exceeded the increase III
cost of living"
Replying, the miners contended
that position was no different from
that which they submitted on
April 90 when the UNIV held
the miners were entitled to in
creases, and that no counterpro-
posals had been made to the major
demands.

Jeffers Wins Fight
For Full Control Of
Civilian Rubber
New Nelson Directive
Ends Jurisdiction Held
By Whiteside's Office

Rubber Director William M. JET
fers retained complete control today
over civilian supplies of rubber, hav-
ing received from War Production
Chief Donald Nelson a directive re-
moving from the reorganized Office
of Civilian Requirements any juris-
diction over rubber.
Mr.. Jeffers testified recently be-
fore the Truman Committee that he
felt the office would interfere with
his program If it tried to regulate
civilian supplies of rubber.
Mr.. Nelson settled the matter by
notifying Mr.. Jeffers and Arthur D.
Whiteside, head of the Office of
Civilian Requirements, that author
ity over civilian rubber would re-
main with the rubber director.
The civilian office of the War Pro-
duction Board itself is In jeopardy
because of bill, which has passed
the Senate and is pending in the
House, establishing a civilian supply
Office as an independent agency. Mr..
Nelson opposed the change, contend
ing the WPB should be the final ar
bitter in the division of supplies
among the armed forces and civil
ians. A group of Senators urged the
legislation on the ground that a
civilian representative should have
an equal voice with the Army and
Navy in demanding essentials.
