10000 to 10000
Anthracite Miners
Refuse to Work

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Jan. 16
- (H0 - Thirty-eight hundred
men hitherto not on strike join
ed the 18-day-old wildcat walk
out of Pennsylvania anthracite
miners today, despite a war la
Dor board ultimatum directing
1000 to 1900 other strikers
to return to Their jobs immedi-
ately.
The new strikers, members Of
three insurgent locals of the
United Mine Workers, adopted
resolution four days ago de-
claring they would 60 out I'M
less a 50-cents a month increase
in the unions dues were elimi-
mated by January Is.
Earlier today UNIV leaders
both insurgents and loyal-had
said they anticipated the strikers
would 60 back to work Monday
in compliance with the War La
Dor Board ultimatum, which di-
rected them to su b m / t their
grievances - including a de-
mand for So a day wage bonus
to processes provided in their
working contract.
The War Labor Board said
earlier this week that unless the
wa..1out ended it would use all
the power at its command to
compel resumption of produc-
ton.
The statement was taken as
strong indication that if nec-
essary the board would ask
President Roosevelt to seize the
strike-bound mines in the name
of the government.
WLB said the walkout had
endangered the prosecution of
the war by creating hard coal
shortage throughout the north
east.

they expected the other strik-
ers to return would not author

Russians Move
Steadily Ahead
Reeopture Towns;
Approach Rostov
BY HENRY G. CASSIDY

MOSCOW, Jan. Is - (P) -
The Red Army has swept into 80
more towns, Soviet leaders an
nounced today, and the whole
vast south Russian front was
reported alive with fresh sue
cesses which carried the Winter
offensive nearer the gates OF
Rostov, notably in the Donets
River Valley north of that city.
The forward sweep was inn
portant not so much for the
number of places taken as for
the strategical significance of
most of them. Most vital of the
towns listed as newly occupied
were:
Glubokaya, on the Rostov-
Moscow railway IA miles north
of Kamensk-S hakhtinsky.
Litvinovka, where the Middle
Don army crossed the Kalitva
River in its westward thrust
into the Donets basin.
Diadin, southwest of Litvin-
ovka and close to the shores of
the winding Donets River.
Kurenny, 38 miles southwest
of Zimovniki on the Stalingrad-
Tikhoretsk railway and little
more than 40 miles from Salsk.
Blagodaroye, at the head of
a rail spur that connects with
the Divnoe- Kropotkin main line
through the Caucasus.
Alexandrovskoye, 35 m S
north of Mineralyne Vody and
about the same distance south
west of Blagodarnoye.
Nogutskoye. Is miles west of
Mineralyne Vody on the main
railway to Rostov.
Bekeshevskaya. south of the
main Baku-RoStov railway.
The Soviet early communicate,
reporting the recapture of all of
these cities, also named places
taken behind those positions by
the Middle Don army of Col.
Gen. Nikolai +. Vatutin and by
the forces of Col. Gen. Yere-
menko which travelled southwest
along the railroad from Stain
grad
1t was the first specific news
of Vatutin's troops in days. Be-
tween his columns and those of
Yeremenko, the army command
ed by Lieut.. Gen. Constantin Ro-
kossovsky made slow Roadway
in the Lower Don region about
so miles from Rostov against
intensive counter attacks.

Milk CEILINGS
Seiin.South,
-
Six-Stote Test
Gets Underway

DALLAS, Texas, Jan. 16 -
(P) - The Office of Price Ad-
ministration today set flat price
ceilings on wholesale and retail
milk sales in six southwestern
states-and then sat back to see
how this completely new plan
worked.
If successful, it may be given
nationwide trial.
Previously milk prices have
been tied in with ceiling prices
in effect March /, 1912. Regional
Director Max Mccullough ex-
plains these ceilings produced
many Inequalities.
Some examples: The milk
would flow where the money
was, leaving cities with a low
ceiling staring at possible
shortage. Manufacturing plants,
producing butter, cheese and
condensed and evaporated milk,
had an advantage since they
were not subject to price regula-
ton prior to last October.
AS a result of these and other
inequalities, all of the bawling
around the daily barns has not
been produced by the COWS.
Protests from dairymen have
been loud and desperate, McCul-
Tough found some towns, with
dairymen squeezed b e tween
higher production costs and in
flexible ceilings, were threaten
ed with discontinuance of deliv-
cries altogether.
Other dairymen have been
selling their cows for beef. And

COMMUNITY PROJECT
The campaign, which had to
be organized in a short time in
order to be completed by Jan.
80, is receiving a splendid sup
port from clubs. The committee
is attempting to reach every club
in Mount Clemens, but due to
the fact that some have already
held their meetings, some may
not be reached. All are urged to
call the Board of Commerce for
their quota of bonds to sell dur
ing the drive. The project is
community wide, and the sup
port of all is needed to put IL
over the top.
Those clubs which have al
ready accepted their quota are
Kiwanis, with Lawrence Schott,
chairman, $4,000; Lions, with
George Mccoy, chairman, $25,-
600 voluntarily rasied from $15,-
600; Rotary, with a committee
of three, Bert Nunneley, Theo-

Mother Of Six
Found StronsIed

DETROIT, Jan. 16- (R "A
coroner's decision that Mrs. Sy-
billa McGrath, 26, mother of six
children, met her death at the
hands of an assailant spurred
the police investigation today.
The young mother, unclad ex-
cept for stockings rolled to her
ankles, was found dead on a
davenport in her Cass avenue
apartment Friday morning. Her
silk nightgown was knotted
around her neck.
Cries of the six children, who
range in age from four months
to seven years, aroused neigh
bors.
Coroner Edmund j. Knobloch,
who said death was caused by
strangulation, declared he was
convinced that Mrs. McGrath
could not have taken her own
life.
Police continued questioning
of several persons, including the
husband, Harold, d, and a
friend, Melvin Childress, 36.
Childress said he had visited the
apartment at 4 a. m. to get
tools he had loaned McGrath
and saw nothing wrong at the
time.
McGrath, who appeared VOL
UNFAIRLY at headquarters, said he
had spent Friday night with
another friend. He said he had
fallen behind in his rent while
out of job and that his land
lady had asked him to live else
