Woman Deputy Raid Warden
Mother Of Six,
Two in Service,
Veteran in OCD

Appointment of the first woman
deputy air raid warden for the
District was announced last night
by William j. Mileham, chief
air raid warden. She is Mrs. Cor
della L. Mikules of 2O3 D street
N.W-a grandmother-who has
served as zone warden for Zones 3
and in the Municipal Center area.
Mrs. Mikules was named Munich
pal Center deputy air raid warden
to succeed T. j. Casey, who resigned
the post upon moving his residence
to another area.
The District Civilian Defense De-
partment said Mrs. Mikules had
made an outstanding record as a
Red Cross instructor in first aid
and also as an instructor in bombs
and gases. She wears two stars
for sons in the armed services. one
a lieutenant in the Naval Reserves,
the other a captain in the Army.
She is the mother of six children,
the grandmother Of seven
Also, said Mr. Mileham, she holds
the mine country in the great Con-
nellsville coke field of Pennsylvania.
From the ovens the coke is sped to
the mills to produce pig iron.
Meantime, the return of virtually
all miners to the pits Monday was
regarded as a certainty after the
rank and file received notification
OF agreement to do so from the
UNIV Policy Committee in Wash
ington.

Might Ignore Deadline.
While the possibility remained
that the board might simply ignore
the June 20 deadline. it appeared
it could not do so without losing
prestige in view of its statement of
last Wednesday.
In that statement, explaining its
order that negotiations cease in
view of the work stoppage. the WLB
reviewed the coal controversy's his
tory of extensions of agreements.
short truces and stoppages, and
declared:
These tactics add up TO an in
sistence that the provisions of
contract be determined only on
the basis Of what is necessary to
avoid a strike or to obtain the
calling off of a strike in wartime.
The continuance of negotiations
under such conditions could well
result in a resort to similar forms
of coercive collective bargaining in
other vital industries This would
completely nullify the no-strike
agreement upon which the country
depends for an uninterrupted flow
Of war goods and would shatter the
basis upon which our wartime labor
policy exists"
Portal Pay Big Issue.
The principal issue for negotia-
ton between the union and the
mine operators is the question of
portal-to-portal underground trav-
ell pay. They were reported to be
close to an agreement Wednesday,
when the WLB directed that nego-
tiations cease. The union has scaled
demand for 50 a day down to
$3.50. and the Northern operators
had tentatively offered ST and the
Southern operators 80 cents.
At the Capitol some legislators
said privately that the setting of
| the June 20 deadline undoubtedly
would spur enactment of the anti
strike legislation and, providing Mr..
Roosevelt will sign it, such a meas
ure may be on the books before
that date.
Senator Connally said he would
insist on reinsertion in the bill of
clause approved by the Senate and
apparently lost by the wayside
when the House substituted its own
version of the measure. This clause
would specifically empower the
President to take over struck mines
and war plants.
Wants Powers Stated.
Senator Connally said he was in
formed the House was acting on
the assumption that the President
now has authority to take over
mines and plants in outlawing
strikes in war industries, but per-
sonally believed this power should
be stated specifically as in the
Senate version of the bill.
There were indications that some
other sections of the House version,

dealing with war industries where
the Government has not taken over
the plants, would face a fight in
conference.
Those include provisions which
bar strikes in those industries until
after a 30-day notice and secret
ballot approved by majority of
the workers involved: require unions
to register. give a financial account
ing and bar them from making con-
tributiOns to political campaigns;
make violators CT the act subject
to civil damages and withdraw from
them for one year their rights
under the National Labor Relations
Act.
While Senator Connally said he
was being besieged by kilograms to
accept the terms of the House bill.
he is not inclined to take this
course. believing that temperate
action by the conferees will produce
an improved measure.

Speedy Unloading Of Coal
From Cars Urged by 0DT
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Office of Defense Transporta-
ton yesterday urged the speedy un-
loading of all coal held in cars at
delivery points. so the cars can be
returned to the mines promptly for
reloading.
About $4,000 cars Of coal were
frozen in transit by order of Fuel
Administrator Ickes at the start of
the coal strike, in order to divert
the fuel to consumers who had less
than 10 days supply on hand. The
freeze orders, lifted Friday night,
had the effect in some cases of ac-
cumulating cars at destination
points in such numbers as to tax
unloading facilities.

Ready to Negotiate.
Before the union announced the
June 20 deadline, the board had
refused to approve renewed nego-

Both sides declared their readi-

met yesterday morning. But Ezra

lachian coal conference, announced
he had solicited information from
the WLB on procedure and was ad-
vised that the board would not
recognize the negotiations until coal

Hike Collection
Of Kitchen Fats

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(SNS)-
Collection of waste kitchen fats
from American homes increased in
January by $4,000 pounds over
the 5,031 900 pounds Of the previous
month, according to figures re-
leased by the Salvage division of
the War Production Board.
But with such small increases it
would take IL months to bring COL
lectlonS up to the monthly quota
needed right now to balance gly-
cerine production against war;
time consumption, the Office of
War Information pointed out. A
monthly quota of 1857 600 pounds
has been set because that much
waste fat will produce some
1,666,70O pounds of glycerine-the
amount which now has to come
out OF dWindling reserves instead
OF new supply.
The 5,967 ,000-pound total collec-
ton in January represents per-
centage increase of Sc over Deem

collections have to go up faster
than that because glycerine from
