BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, July IA
back -to-work movement appar-
emily was under way today in
the Southwestern Pennsylvania
soft coal fields where insurgent
strikes last week prevented more
than 1000 diggers from going
to their jobs.
Four major steel company owned
captive pits employing about
5000 men resumed operations, and
. half dozen smaller mines in the
area were reported partially operat-
ing. About $4,000 men still were
absent from the mines. %
Rowing, pickets who last week
forced an almost complete shut
down of the pits which supply
metallurgical coal to Pittsburgh dis
trict steel mills virtually disappeared
today.
Miners Ignore Plea.
But despite the lack of pickets,
miners at the big Gates operation
of the H. C. Prick Coke Co., a
United States Steel subsidiary, re-
fused to work. 1t was at this mine
on Saturday that nearly 200 pickets
blocked the way of 500 diggers.
The Gates miners ignored a plea
by Mine Supt. H. E. Mason, who told
them:
Boys, this is test Of your Amer
icanism. There are no pickets here
this morning. If you are real
Americans you'll go to work.
But after milling around the pit
entrance for more than an hour,
the men went nome.

Three Way Controls
Adopted 10 Prevent
Needless Job 5hiftinc
NonessentioI Workers
Must File Statements
With New Employers
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

New controls over workers at
tempting to leave Washington
or moving from one nonessen-
'tial activity to another were an
nounced today as amendments
to the Districts employment
stabilization plan.
The new regulations, which be-
come effective July 10, require that
workers must have a statement of
availability from the washington
United States Employment Service
office before they can leave town and
that employers in activities "other
than essential" must have a record
OF previous employment" from new
workers before they car hire them
Other Cities Bring Pressure.
Fred Hetzel. whose appointment as
permanent Washington area director
of the War ManpoWer Commission Is
now pending, explained that at the
time the stabiliZation plan for the
District was written the emphasis
was laid on workers coming into
Washington and it was thought that
out migration would be. no problem
Now most cities throughout the
country have stabilization plans
which require that workers entering
them must have a statement OF
availability from the USES in the
town they left.
Mr.. Hetzel said he is continually
getting wires from other cities about
Washington workers which indi-
Gates that out-migrant control is
needed here.
Three-Way Statement.
Under the amendment a worker
who has a job lined up in another
! city must have three statements OF
availability-one from his previous
employer, one from the Washington
USES and one from the USES In
the town to which he goes.
He said that even though an en-
ployer gives worker a statement
of availability, the USES will not
do likewise unless there are nc
other jobs here requiring q worker
of that type. He indicated that the
new regulations would have the
effect of making an employer hest.
tate to give statement of available
ity just because a worker is dis.
gruntled and tries to high-pressure
the employer into releasing him. Ar
employer might find after giving q
statement of availability that the
USES would not allow the worker
to leave town and the employer
would have lost a needed worker
to another employer in the same
town.
The amendment reads:
mo worker employed in this ares
and desiring to seek employment OF
who is offered employment outside
of this area shall accept such en-
ployment without q statement ol

GUADALCANAL, July 10 de-
layed) The zero hour for the final
drive to push the Japanese from
Munda Point appeared near tonight,
with the United States Army's New
Georgia invasion troops sweeping
through the jungle less than two
miles from the enemy's painstak-
ingly built but little used Munda
landing strip.
Opposed by only a few rounds of
antiaircraft fire. Navy dive and tor
pedo bombers supporting the ground
forces today blasted the enemy's
defensive strong points northeast of
the airfield with merciless precision
for the second straight day. All the
bombers returned to their base with
out scratch.
On the Kula Gulf side of New
Georgia's blunt western peninsula
marine raiders blockaded the
Bairoko- Munda road-the last re-
naming supply route by land to
Munda's beleaguered Nipponese gar
rison, which now is helplessly alb
sorbing the same kind of punish
ment that japanese bombers in
flicted on Bataan.

main American army force closing
In on Munda from the east had
knocked out an enemy strong point
at the junction of the Barike River

tlemen of Elala.
These troops crossed from pre-
viously occupied Rendova Island
by way of Onavisi Inlet to make
landings since July on Roviana
Beach. Our line now extends from
the beach deep into open jungle"
Pushing the front steadily ahead
with the help of mortar and rifle
fire, the doughboys have advanced
considerably from the original land
ing point east of the Barike River.
The commander of the Rendova
troops advised amphibious force
headquarters that his casualties in
