HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 2S.-
Technical experts of the British and
American conference seeking a So
luton of the European refugee

report today which was believed to
leave still unsettled the question of
what areas In Africa would be
o-'cned to receive victims of the
Il conquest of Europe.
While the delegations of both
countries refused to comment it was
understood a compromise decision
had been scrapped at the last
minute, leaving the question OF
African havens for later decisions.

1943 production to December / by
5 per cent.
1T the coal industry as q whole
had shown similar increase we
would now have about as ,000. 900 tons
of coal which we do not have. For
this deficiency Secretary Ickes must
accept his share Of the blame for
the manner in which he has han
died the coal controversy.
I'VE agree with the position taken
by the Southern Producers Associa-
ton that an attempt to apply the

mines would be violation Of the

Coal Group Charges
|lckes Would Violate
Little Steel Formula
BY the Associated Press.

Fuel Administrator Ickes has ac-
cused Southern coal operators of
"sit-down strike" against negotiation
lof new wage contract and
promptly drew the retort that he
lis trying to force War Labor Board
approval of a wage scale violating
the Little Steel formula.
The long-range exchange with
Edward r. Burke, spokesman for
Southern operators, yesterday
marked another round in efforts by
Mr.. Ickes to get the entire coal in
dustry to sign contract with the
United Mine Workers based on the
agreement he worked out with John
L. Lewis, UNIV president, for Gov
eminent operation of the mines.
Southern operators have refused
to negotiate on that basis. though
offering to pay the Ickes-Lewis wage
scale for a guaranteed eight hour
production day. The Ickes-Lewis
agreement calls for the miners to
spend nine hours day in the mine,
allowing IS minutes for travel in the
mine and IS minutes for lunch.
Base pay would be $3.50 a day.
Mr.. Burke contends travel time
actually exceeds IS minutes in some
pits and hence eight hours of pro-
duction is not assured.
Assails Francis.
Mr.. 1ckes, at a press conference,
applied the Shutdown strike" charge
specifically to Mr.. Burke. But Mr..
Ickes commented, Mr.. Burke does
what James D. Francis, president of
the Island Creek Coal Co. Of West
Virginia, tells him to do" and he
described Mr.. Francis as the "prin-
cipal devil in the Southern opera
tors machinery"
Mr.. Ickes said ST per cent of the
industry is negotiating for an agree
ment and that the Southern group
will have to sign contracts in the
end anyhow"
Mr.. Burke said he had not seen
Mr.. Francis for several weeks and
implied he believed Mr.. Ickes hoped
the WLB would approve a contract
based on the Ickes-Lewis formula If
the industry lined up sohdly for it.
I'VE are not joining with you, Mr.
Ickes," Mr.. Burke said, in bringing
pressure on the duly established
Government agency to do what it
knows it cannot do without violating
the wage stabilization program"
Draft Submitted.
The operators engaged in negotia-
tions submitted a preliminary draft
Of proposed contract to UNIV
Representatives yesterday. A cursory
study showed some Objectionable
points, from the miners point of
view, but nothing considered insur-
mountable. Some operators believed
the conferences could be concluded
this week, but this optimism was not
shared by all.
In Huntington, w. Va, Mr.. Fran
els, on being told of Mr.. Ickes' re-
marks, said in statement that
