May Be Agreed On
Early Next Week
BY the Associated Press.

oy inc AosoSlhtcu Freeb.
The United Mine Workers and
operators representing about ST per
cent Of the soft coal industry, in
cluding captive mines, are on tho
verge of an agreement and only
details remain to be worked out.
Conceivably these details might
require many more conferences. but
at least some Of the conferees agree
that so much controversy is out of
the way that the signing of con-
tract is probable early next week.
Operators insist that price in
creases thus far granted are made
quate and want protective clav5e
in the contract on that point before
guaranteeing any wage terms.
UNIV President John L. Lewis and
a union committee left a confer
ence with the operators Wednesday
to meet with an American Fedora
ton OF Labor committee. but the
second meeting ended without ap-
parent progress on his application
to rejoin the Federation.
The AFL charter is almost imme-
diately available to the miners il
they agree to return as they left,
but Mr.. Lewis has declined to dis
member District so, the UMWs
catch-all which crosses the juris-
dictional lines of many AFL unions.
The International Typographical
Union also was reported to have
rejected proposal to rejoin the
AFL.
The typographical union held a
referendum on the issue recently.
The count is close and incomplete,
but Federation officials said they
were advised that the final result
probably would be rejection. The
printers left the AFL in 1899.

in forging for refugees way out
Iof the inferno Hitler has made of
their homelands
approximately 10000 persons have
come through Spain, Mr.. Long said
and all but 200 have been moved
along to other places where better
food and shelter is available.

maintaining all those who fled to
her territory, and refused American

sidered it her duty to give all the
help she could About 5000 Danes
escaped to Sweden, which opened

If there are only words and not
deeds, professions and not perform
ance, the peoples of the world will
quickly lose their confidence and
trust in the present world leader

The West must prove to the East
that they want freedom not only
for themselves, but also for others
Only thus can We find the world
that We seek"
Declares Asia Awoke.
DR.. Hsia said there has emerged
almost overnight a militant, free
dom-seeking Asia. This is no mir
age, no fairy tale from the East, but
solid fact, the key to all under

the South Pacific OF the English

that II had declared war formally
he said:
I'VE Of the Americas have evolved
