Women Put

en-, who have been Enrol Flynn's
greatest fans, who have written
him more than 5000 letters of
sympathy. and who cluster around
him daily in court. apparently will
have most of the say In deciding
whether he is guilty OF the statu-
tory rape of two teen age girls.
When the third day OF his trial
opened this morning, there were
nine women and three men seated
temporarily in the jurors box
This ratio between the sexes will
remain about the same-if Flynn's
lawyers have their way-when the
jury is confirmed, probably late to-
day.

apples, and bananas. with an oc-

eating their lunches in court to

Coal Miners

Wilkes-Barre. Pa, Jan. 10 UP
Eighteen thousand anthracite min
ers vote today on the War Labor
Boards demand to end their strike
against the nation at war.
Their leaders, at least. welcomed
government Intervention. when the
boards order was read last night
at meeting Of local officers OF the
United Mine Workers OF America
and a special grievance committee
appointed at the behest Of the war
Department, strike leaders shouted:
That's what we want! Let the gov
eminent settle It!
The WLB ordered the strike

certification OF the dispute from
Secretary OF Labor Frances Perk-
ms. Acting WLB Chairman George
w. Taylor warned that unless the
miners return Immediately. the
WL8 was prepared to exercise al!
powers within its jurisdiction TO

try"
Taylor pointed out in Washing
ton that the strike was a direct
violation of union labors no
strikes-for-the-d pledge and
had disrupted hard coal production
and reduced anthracite reserves to
dangerously low levels.
A copy of the order was sent to
John l.. Lewis. president OF the
UMWA. in Washington, but he de
clined comment.
The strike. which had closed 20
mines. was called Is days ago, In
protest OF a UMWA assessment OF

Labor Board
to
.Reorganize
Regional Groups
to Have Say in
Labor Disputes

Washington, Jan. ZAP The
War Labor Board. 1t was learned
today, has decided on a drastic re-
organization OF procedure calling
for the creation OF IL to IA region
al boards with power TO rule finally
in labor disputes ana voluntary
wage and salary agreements.
The regional boards will be set
up in the ten cities in which the
WLB now has regional offices, with
two others located in Detroit and
Seattle. Two more may be estab-
lished later. Details Of the plan
probably will be announced in a
week and the boards will start
functioning as quickly as the neces-
sary personnel can be obtained and
the machinery organized.
A growing backlog OF cases and
complaints of delay which some
times manifest themselves in
"quickie' work stoppages led the
board TO decide on this virtual all
out decentralization and delegation
Of authority.
Previously the WLB had planned
TO establish so or more permanent
panels throughout the country and
to give certain review powers to
the existing regional advisory
boards, but found that plan was not
far-reaching enough to keep abreast
OF the heavy case load.
Instead, these advisory boards
will be reconstructed into regional
war labor boards. The regional
boards will be almost exact coun-
terparts OF the WLB in Washing
ton. They will have 12 members
each, four representing industry.
four labor, and four public men,
bers. II is possible, however, that
only half that number will serve
on a full-time basis at first. The
present regional director In each
case will become one OF the public
members as we'll as chairman.
Each board will have its own
staff of mediators. panel assistants,
referees, and research and review
analysts. Their work will be more
closely tied than ever to the activi.
ties Of the U. S. Cancellation serv-
ice.
BY this method the WLB hopes
to speed up greatly the disposition
OF disputes and TO reduce to a mere
trickle the volume OF cases COM
ing to Washington. In effect, the
WLB will constitute itself a "su.
preme court" in its field, deciding
those cases which affect basic poll
ey. Cases may be appeslsAi to Wash
ington in certain circumstances
and the WLB will retain its right
to call up a case and review It on
its own motion.
