Coal Workers Strike
Is Virtually Ended;
Only 1900 Idle
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, July 6.-The Ma
tion's third big coal strike, which
started on June 20, virtually ended
TODAY as United Mine Workers
leaders reported less than 5000 OF
the 521, 900 diggers remained idle.
They predicted these men would
be back in the pits by nightfall or
tomorrow.
Most Of the holdouts were in
UNIV District of Eastern Penn
sylvania,s anthracite belt, where
eight collerieS, totaling about $500
men, were still out Of production.
UNIV leaders reported only eight
mines were down in the bituminous
fields of Central and Western Penn
sylvania, where production today
was nearing normal.
Two Pits Down in District 2.
Everything seems to be normal
here, with only two pits down." said
Don Gingery, Federal co-ordinator
for District 2. This had been the
biggest holdout spot in the bitum-
inous districts. Only 10000 OF 10000
had worked Saturday.
The other idle pits today were In
Districts and 5 in Pennsylvania,
the largest being the Maxwell mine
of the United States Steel Corp.
This employs 900 men.
John P. Busarello, president OF
District 3, said three idle mines In
his district had called meetings this
afternoon and tonight.
Get Time and Half.
Reports from the far-hung fields
showed mines employing approx
mately 47o,000 men operated yester-
day-the first time the men had
worked on a July holiday. They
received time and one half pay and
will get the same rate Saturday if
they work every day this week.
Quickly rejecting the increased
activity in the coal pits was the
firing of two more blast furnaces by
the United States Steel Corp, leav-
ing six still down. A week ago the
corporation had closed IA, giving the
coal shortage as the reason.
PfOQuCClOn increased LII IIle Fellu-

Office of J. j. Forbes, Federal ad-
ministrator of the mines, estimated
$4,000 of the regions $4,000 miners
worked yesterday, making approxi-
mately 81 per cent of normal days
tonnage.
A break occurred also in the steel
company owned captive" mine
region of Southwestern Pennsyl-
vania where two of the four Vesta
mines of the Jones g. Laughlin Steel
Corp resumed production yesterday
for the first time since the strike
began in mid-June.

Farm Help
Continued From FIRST PageD

agricultural labor shortage persists
in most States, and that many of
them expect crisis at harvest time.
For instance, California, source of
one-tenth of the Nations food, wants
more than 100000 laborers for the
big uly-to-October push. Across
the continent, New York figures it
could use an extra 100000 during the
September peak. Demands vary in
other sections.
Some Meet Minimum Needs.
A half dozen States report their
minimum needs have been or will be
met. Among them are two where
the harvest is under way. In Kan
saS, hundreds of children-from 10
up-White collar folk and others,
enlisted through an organized re-
cruiting program, have gone into
The fields. In Oklahoma the gaps
were filled by volunteers, including a
victory corps" of high school boys
and 300 former farmhands fur
ioughed from the Oklahoma Ord
nance Works.
These eXpedients may outline the
shadow of things to come in other
regions as the harvest fans out over
rural territory which already has
formed the background for strange
Spectacles.
One hundred and thirty troops
from Camp Grant plucked peas, on
voluntary basis, in Illinois. Sol
dlers from Truax Field gave similar
aid in Wisconsin. In Iowa. they re-
late that lads of 8, 8 and 10 jockeyed
tractors during the day-and-night
blowing jam caused by a tardy
spring. Urbanites on vacation-girl
them-turned out in considerable
numbers in New York. Conscienti-
Gus objectors furnished helping
hands in Massachusetts.
Thousands Imported.
Thlrty-eight thousand foreign
farm workers have been imported,
and $4,000 others are expected. Ba-
hamans, Jamaicans and Mexicans
have been employed widely Their
bosses agreed they were satisfac-
tory. Italian prisoners of war were
put to work in Georgia and Ari-
zona. Representations from re-
location centers got jobs in the
Western Mountain States, South
Dakota and Nebraska.
The Nationwide inquiry among
farmers, far reorganization leaders,
State and Government agencies and
others concerned established that
labor supply has increased since ex-
pressions of alarm from the country
sectors focused attention on the
farm manpoWer problem last winter.

leads westward to the sea is known
as Blackett Strait The deep chan
mel there separate Kolombangara
from Wanawana and Arundel Is
lands. The latter island stands like
a backstop at the southern end OF
the bay while Wanawana is to the
south and west.
The channel is only a half mile
wide as 1t leaves the gulf, gradually
opening after it passes the western
extremity of Arundel Island. Ves-
sells seeking to get from the south
ern end Of the gulf to Munda or
Rendova Island would have to round
both Arundel and Wanawana.
There are several fine anchorages
on the eastern side of the gulf on
the. beach of New Guinea Island.
One of these is Rice Anchorage,
about three-quarters of the distance
south from the northern entrance
to the gulf. 1t is about quarter
of mile in width, with a shore that
is densely wooded. The Wharton
River discharging on the eastern
side Is fronted by bank of sand
and mud. Vessels can anchor to a
depth of 20 fathoms l20 feet.
Koleiuro Inlet, another anchorage,
is 3 miles southwark Of Rice Point.
1t Is larger, being about 2 miles in
length and $50 yards wide between
the entrance points.
Both of these anchorages would
offer ideal points for the landing of
American troops and supplies over
smooth waters in land-locked har-
bors, but once ashore the land
forces would be in the dense tropical
country placing them from 10 to IL
miles from Munda. the longer dis
tance being from Rice Anchorage.
The landing forces successfully
put ashore there would join the
American force which is working
its way up the coast from the land
ing point established last week at
Viru Harbor while to the east and
five miles away is Rendova Island,
from which the Munda air base has
been shelled by land artillery.
Because Of the small area within
Kula Gulf there is not much maneu-
vering room for any decisive battle
between any sizable force of sur
face naval units. For that reason,
it is believed that any decisive naval
engagement which might take place
In this area as part OF the japanese
efforts to recover the territory now
occupied by the Americans would
have to be outside of the gulf.

|0PA Raises Prices
On Three Types Of
Canned Vegetables
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Pless.
New prices for canned asparagus,
mustard greens and turnip greens
have been set by the Once OF Price
Administration.
This was the last of a series of
orders covering the various kinds Of
vegetables in the 1943 pack.
With allowances for increased la
Dor and material costs, the new reg
ulation will eventually increase re-
tall prices of a No. can Of aspara-
gus by cents and the same size
can OF mustard and turnip greens
an average of IL cents. Allowance
also was made for adding on the
cost of canned spinach a AZ per
cent increase in wages.
Yesterdays order applied specif1-
cally to the prices Gamers may
charge, but these prices automati-
cally determine ultimate retail
prices under OPAs pricing formu-
las.
The OPA also set maximum prices
which Gamers and other professors
may pay for certain types OF cher
ries and berries.
The regulation, effective immedi-
ately, does not affect prices of cher
ries and berries sold for table use in
their natural form. A later regula-
ton is expected to regulate those
prices.
The new prices limiting what
professors may pay growers:
Red sour-pitted cherries, 8l2 cents
a pound; black raspberries, Is cents;
youngberries, 13 cents; boysenber-
ries, II cents; loganberres. II cents;
blackberries, II cents, and goose
berries, 8 cents.
OPA officials said these prices
were generally lower than prices re-
Gently charged professors, but. loca,
prices varied so much that no pre-.
else comparison is possible. They
said q similar control method may
be expected for other fresh fruits
berries and vegetables.
Primary purpose OF yesterdays
order, the ofncials said, is to hold
down the prices which professors
have to pay so that the latter will
not be forced to ask increased prices
of the public.

In a fancy led by women, it is a
policy that must be changed. Prob
ably so per cent of all kennel club
members are women. A larger pro-
portion than that of breeders and
kennel owners are women. Women
are the most successful breeders in
almost all breeds, including some
such typicaily masculine dogs as
bull terriers. Mrs. z. Platt Ben
net and Mrs. Helen Gogarty are
acknowledged leaders here.
Mrs. Florence B. Itch, Mrs. William
H. Long, jr.; Mrs. A. Lunt are lead
ers in the collie field. Mrs. Bondy
leads in wirehair terriers. Hardly
a breed that does not acknowledge a
woman as master. And as for out
standing show personalities, exhib-
itors, hackers, judges and all-around
sportswomen, nobody can hold a
candle to Mrs. M. Hartley Dodge,
Mrs. Sherman Hoyt and one or two
other women. There is no man in
the field who has done as much for
the sport as these women. To deny
women like these equitable repre-
sentation in their own governing

Eagles Go Info Lead
In Closing Stages
Of Hectic Battle

American University's basket ball
Eagles, playing at home, turned
in their second Mason-Dixon Con-
ference victory last night, nosing out
Johns Hopkins, 46-42.
The game was much closer than
expected with the underdog Hop
kins quint taking slim lead early
in the second half that held until
shortly before the end.
Bob Nelson finally turned the
tide in A. us favor, dribbling the
length of the floor and sinking
snowbird to give the Eagles 4l-40
edge with only two minutes to go.
He added a foul shot and another
one-handed snoWbird to ice the
game.
American controlled the back
board during the early part of the
game but missed frequent shots
while slowly moving ahead to-
1873 edge in the first period. Bob
Miller and Bob Hayes did most of
the A. U. scoring as its margin in
creased to 20-15 halfway through
the second period. The Blue Jays
then began to click and on shots
by Dick Borcherding tied the score
at 21-21 and 1928 before Miller
dropped in a couple more to aid
A. U. to its 27-24 halftime margin.
Both teams uncovered'a fast break
In the second half and by dint of
some excellent floor play and shoot
ing by Jerry Cooper the Jays were
ahead, 1888, going into the last
period.
Defenses on both sides then tight
ened. Cooper dropped charity toss,
but Miller tailed and Franny Drake
made good with two free tosses that
had A. U. ahead, 1886
Frank Rudo hit from outside and
Borcherding added a corner shot
to put Hopkins in front again. Foul
tosses by Ralph Vow and Bud Glover

Jump-SnOOtug waterfowl isn't
new. In some areas it is as old as
the use of blinds, or perhaps older,
for in the dim past, when shooting
was a means to an end and not
sport. hunters were prone to take
the easiest way. Then it was posi-
BILE to kick up any kind of bird or
game with little or no trouble.
Now. due to the encroachment of
civilization, you've got to fool your
birds. Therefore the growing popu-
,larity of blinds, with the result that
jump-shooting has become the hard
way. 1t is interesting, however, and
apparently growing in favor up the
Potomac, where both terrain and
Maryland law make it possible and
attractive.
In the Everglades section of
Southern Florida jump-shooting is
practiced both through use of skif
and by wading. The latter way,
most popular by far, is sporting

accomplishment, even though his
bag usually is far under the limit of

any we have ever experienced else
where
Up the Potomac one Just buys a
sneak-boat license and drifts the
current with any means at hand.
Sounds simple, although the shots
are long and difficult but. neverthe-
less, satisfying. And here, too. the
bags aren't large, although the in
crease in native mallards has made
this form of Waterfowling pretty
attractive in the past three years.
- The average bag never will approach
limit proportions. The going. too. is
easy when compared to Florida or
Jump-shooting as practiced in other
areas.
One reason why this shooting has
met with increased favor on the
river is due to the Maryland law
which prohibits the retrieving of
birds from 2 shore blind without a
sneak-boat license. Just another
oddlty Of the statutes on the Mary
land books regarding shooting and.
fishing. 1t leads to law-breaking in
many instances, but in most event.
kually leads to jump-shooting and
better sport with less loss in the
actual number of birds killed.
1t is hoped the sport will increase
and that at the same time Mary
land will understand the need for
different rules to govern it.
Col Ed w. Startling finally has
