INTENSITY CAMPAIGN
IN WARDS
The Wagonloads we're dumped
every afternoon in the shops and
yards Of junk dealers who had the
facilities for sorting the scrap and
shipping 1t to the appropriate indus
tries. This eliminated backlogs OF
scrap and complaints from some
plants that materials were arriving
In miscellaneous piles, requiring ex-
ira labor TO discard the useless and
sort out the useful
The plan reaped dividends In in
creased returns and In public good
will to the junkies, but the news
paper decided one major improve
ment could be made in the pro-
gram.
Beginning in February, the first
OF the ward drives under the New
Bedford Plan was launched. Under
this system, ward or group Of
wards Is selected for an intensive
campaign once a month, the re-
naming weeks Of the month to be
devoted to ordinary collections
throughout the city.
The citizens Of New Bedford are
proud OF their Secords proud
enough to tell every other commun-
ity In America to go ahead and
borrow the window card idea, Or
ganize its junkies to get going with
a program TO make scrap salvage a
permanent and continuous process

A spokesman for Giraud's press
bureau said that Peyrouton's letter
to Giraud did not arrive until a,
m, and could offer no explanation
for the apparent delay.
The spokesman insisted that Gil
raud Is the "only legal authority
in French North Africa and implied
that De Gaulle had no right to ac-
cept Peyroutons resignation since
the executive committe has not Or
ganized officially.
1.-THE entire mix-up Is being in
.vestigated and we hope TO clarity
who Is responsible" he said. action
will be taken"
Meantime, DeGaullist press Of
ficer protested that French morn
ing newspapers published only the
texts of the letters exchanged by
Peyrouton and Giraud and barred
those between Peyrouton and De-
Gaulle
The DeGaullist spokesman said
they checked with Giraud's head
quarters last night to ascertain
that Giraud had not received let
ter from Peyrouton before issuing
the letters to and from DeGaulle.
Reports that Peyrouton had Of
fered his resignation only to De-
Gaulle had bewildered French OBJ
servers here, who pointed out that
Peyrouton normally should have
written Giraud, who appointed him.
Peyrouton, as interior minister in
the Vichy government in l940-4l,
denounced DeGaulle as traitor to
France.
A further complication was Of
fered by the fact that Peyrouton
addressed both DeGaulle and Gil
raud as president Of the executive
council" although authoritative
named. In both letters, he asked to
be permitted to serve as q captain
In the colonial infantry.
Peyhouton's resignation raised the
question of whether resident Gen
eral Auguste Nogues Of Morocco and
resident General Pierre Boisson, al
so under fire OF DeGaulle also
would quit their posts.
| DeGaulle's enmity toward Bois-
son dates from the EATERS repulse
of q fighting French landing at
tempt at Dakar in September, 1910.
Nogues' Moroccan forces put up the
most serious opposition encountered
by American troops during their
landing In North Africa last Novem-
Der and he has been criticized as
an inefficient administrator
The insistence OF DeGaulle that
Giraud remove Peyrouton Nogues
and Boisson was one OF the princi-
pal reasons for the postponement
Of yesterdays session OF the CEN
trail executive committee. Gen.
Georges CatrouX resuming his role
as peace-maker, prevailed upon De-
Gaulle to visit Giraud at his villa
yesterday and 1t later was an
nounced that the committee would
meet today.
1t was understood that an at
tempt would be made TO postpone
discussion of controversial issues
until the organization OF the COM
mittee has been completed, but Pey-
routon's subsequent resignation and
DeGaulles bid for power may pro-
vide new complications.
Peyrouton's letter was addressed
To DeGaulle as president OF the ex-
ecutive committee even though
authoritative sources reported that
no officers had been chose.

home fleet in the areas around the
main Japanese islands. The loss of
Attu, observers believe, may mean
that units of the fleet will have to
diverted to protect the northern
islands.
What the next American move
will be is known only to the high
command. However. it would appear
logical that very effort will be made
to Gust the Japanese from Kiska
their main base in the Aleutians.
Kiska undoubtedly is more strong
ly defended than was Attu. The
Japanese are believed to have at
least 10000 men there and substan-
tial shore defenses. Kiska would be
tough nut to crack, most military
experts agree, but it might be pos
sible to starve the garrison and to
soften up the defenses with aerial
bombardment.
American forces on Attu slowly
are anihilating the last small rem
nants of the Japanese garrison
there. Over the weekend, more
than 400 Japanese were killed as
three separate U. S. army columns
swept forward to unite on the shores
Of Chichagof Harbor.
Informed quarters here anticipate
a tough job in roofing out the last
of the Japanese. The enemy, COM
pletely cleaned out Of positions
alon the beaches, now Is believed to
have sought the safety Of the hills.

Allid and Nazi planes are lined up
on the Lisbon airfleld within a few
yards Of each other and the repre-
sentatives of each company are

The British planes, including some
British flying boats, did not follow
a direct line route between Lisbon
and the British Isles, but normally
flew well out to sea and frequently
took advantage of whatever cloud
cover was available. They sometimes
sighted enemy warplanes but both
sides appeared to be willing to avoid
interference with passenger traffic
to Lisbon.

ment. Lewis commented that the

adjustments would be retroactive.
The union proposal was submit
ted as substitute for one offered
by the operators. When 1t was
rejected, the UNIV refused the OPP
orators proposal that the olyd con-
tract be extended as was done three
times before.
Lewis said the union offer "paveS
the way to complete settlement and
to putting the mines back to work. "
Edward r. Burke, southern oper-
ators' chairman, confirmed that the
operators had submitted no concrete
proposal for portal to portal pay.
1ckes criticized both the union
and the operators. He charged
that the miners had struck against
the government and that "a few
powerful operators" deliberately
were resisting compromises.
1ckes' Telegram said Lewis could
not escape responsibility" for war;
time posts of duty"
Ickes also moved to minimize the
effect Of the mine stoppage on war
industries and other essential users.
He signed an order barring railroad
delivery of coal to consumers who
have more than a To-day supply Of
bituminous coal or flve-day sup
ply Of anthracite.

tween the parties on the issues re-
ferred to them by the boards direc-
tive order Of May Is, 1913, In this
case shall cease Immediately until
the mine workers return to work in
compliance with the boards direc-
tive order of May 25, 1913.
1.-THE board further notifies the
parties that any agreement on the
issues reached by the parties while
the workers are on strike and under
the pressure OF this strike coercion
will not be considered or approved
by the board.
"The board is referring this case
to the president for such action as
he deems appropriate"
The telegram was signed by
Wayne L. Morse, public member and
compliance officer of the board.
1t was recalled that when the
board last month ordered mine oper-
ators not to negotiate with the UNIV
while strike was In progress, the
union gave serious consideration to
legal action against the board on
grounds It's no-negotiations order
violated the Wagner Labor Rela-
tons Act. There was speculation
that the miners might resort to such
action now.
Legal action, II taken, would be
based on the theory that the boards
order against direct negotiations
violates the Wagner Acts clause
guaranteeing labor's right TO bar
gain collectively with employers.
The mine workers left their Jobs
despite telegram from solid fuels
Administrator Harold L. Ickes which
said that without coal In adequate
quantities we cannot win the war"
Ickes is operating the mines for
the government.
The operators appealed to the
War Labor Board--an agency which
Lewis had flouted consistently to
intervene again. They rejected a
union proposal, based on formula
suggested by 1ckes, for temporary
settlement Of the dispute.
The proposal called for payment
OF $3.50 u day to each miner In
portal 10 portal pay. The operators
said IN a telegram to the Labor
Board that the UNIV had violated
a board order by permitting a work
stoppage and by making Its portal

for general wage increase of So a

mine workers and denied by the
board"
The settlement formula embodit 4

Ing equal representation to miners
and operators, investigated to deter

miner In underground travel. The
commissions findings would be used

The UNIV, In accepting the for
mula, proposed that portal to portal
pay be fixed at $3.50 daily In tenn
porary agreement. Commenting on
the operators statement that the
UNIV would not yield in Its demand
for So a day, Lewis cited the $1.50
offer and called the operators as
sertion fragrant Misrepresentation. /"
Charles ONeill, spokesman for
the northern operators, said Ickes'
formula would be acceptable to the
operators only If 1t permitted them
to settle their retroactive obliga-
lions Immediately. Under terms
of the old contract, extended through

sions in the new contract were to
