: Mr.. Roosevelt directed Secretary
OF Interior Harold L. Ickes to take
over and operate the mines, with
the army providing protection.
Then in a formal statement the
President declared that "the ma
tional interest is in grave peril" be-
cause except in a few mines the
production of coal has virtually
ceased" More than half a million
miners were idle today.
CALLS UPON MINERS
II now call upon all miners who
may have abandoned their work to
return Immediately to the mines
and work for their government"
the President said. Their country
needs their services as much as
those of the members of the armed
! forces"
Mr.. Roosevelt will talk directly to
the miners, via radio, tomorrow at
7 pm, PVT.
Ickes sent kilograms to 3400 soft
coal companies directing them to
assume operation of their mines as
operating manager" for the gov
ernment
The soft-coal companies which
Ickes took over own every btu
minouS mine that produces so or
more tons a day. These mines ac-
count for 95 per cent of the ma
tional output.
Ickes prepared similar orders for
dispatch to 450 anthracite compa-
nies in Pennsylvania.
Military protection of the mines
will occur only where the mine
managers request it,
Army officers will be stationed in
each of the regional offices of the
federal bituminouS coal division.
and Brig. Gen. David McCoach, Jr..
assistant chief of army engineers of
the War Department, has been as
signed to serve with Ickes during
the emergency.
REQUEST TROOPS
Should any act require mainte-
nance of order by use of military
force, the coal mine manager would
make a request for troops to the
nearest regional office. The army
officers there would then commu-
nicate with McCoach who would
take immediate steps for assign
ment of troops.
The Presidents statement noted
that the cost of living in the min
! ing areas is under investigation
and that the government will cor
rect any price violations.
He again urged the United Mine
Workers to rest their $2-a-day wage
increase demand with the War La
Dor Board and promised that the
case would be determined prompt
ly, fairly, and in accordance with
| the procedure and law applicable
to all labor disputes" with any
wage adjustments applied retroac-
lively.
Lewis refusal to deal with the
board brought on the final crisis
that caused the mine shutdown to-
day in defiance of an ultimatum
by the President.
The production of coal must and
shall continue" Mr.. Roosevelt said,
reiterating that the strike is "di-

Reporter Tells About Army Meeting Coast Guards
 men at Ket(hikan

There have been any number ot stories and versions about the Ju- neau Army Boxing Team matches against the Coastguardsmen at Ketchikan on May 3. Your reporter after interviewing the fighters managers and a number of specta- tors will give you the real lowdown without benefit of prejudice. We will start with the first fight and end with the main attraction.
 The opener saw Arnold Slessinger better known as Bug Bite, a tiny atom weighing 121 pounds and fighting as bantamweight, against Ketchikans pride of the same class Joe Kirschke. The bout was called a draw, it was just decision, neith- CT fighter had a decided edge, nor was ever open for a KO wallop, Both boys displayed lot of class.
 The second bout between Matt Trevino and Erwin Cape, feather weights ended in disaster for the Army. Cape caught Trevino with right to the chin, which floored him early in the first round. The soldier forgot his training and got up without a count, before he could again get his bearings the Coast Guardsman swarmed all over him

that nothing was settled. The fight proved that both had trained reli- giously for this epic struggle as attested by the fact that at the end of six 3-minute rounds of fur ious fighting, both were raring to continue. Both showed conclusively that they knew what it was all about. The only damaging blow was one by Majcher in the fourth round, a solid right to the chin which floored his opponent. Red" howev- CT got up without a count which testified to his superb condition.
 Hank" was handicapped in that he was unaware until he stepped in- to the ring that the Kutie from Ketchikan leads with his right hand and his Sunday punches originate from the fist dangling from his left side. The fight ended in a draw with both sides yelling We wuz robbed"
 We will let you readers in on a little secret. These two may fight again and of all places in Juneau,

TorMen Who Shave >Dai!y~
Special Preparation Soofhes Skin, Saves Time
Needs No Brush

For men who must shave every day doctors, lawyers, businessmen and others = Glider Is invaluable. It is a special cream for daily shaw CTS. It is neither sticky nor greasy.
 To use Glider, first wash your face with hot water and soap to remove grit and oily sebum that collect on whiskers every "A hours. Then spread on Glider quickly and easily with your fingers. Never . brush.
 Glider jnsfonsiy smoofhs down the flaky top layer of your skin. It enables the razor's sharp edge to glide over your skin, cutting your whiskers close and clean without seropins or iuifofins your skin. Glider eliminates much of the irritation that frequent shaving may have for the tender face, and leaves your skin smoother, cleaner.
 Glider is made by the 1OO-year- old J. B. Williams Company. Try itl

and knocked him down several more times. Travino was never able to get started, the referee stopped the fight in the second round. The concenSuS was that he used good judgment, although Matt was not hurt. A rematch will be discussed at later date.
 Next on the card was Juneaus combination of musician and pugil- ist Ed Pinelli against a left handler named Jim Taylor Both were in good shape and. it was a hard fast fight. It could have been called a draw, the decision was however giv- en to the boy in blue. The fact that Taylor fought from the port side, was disadvantage to Ed as he did not know of that fact until he got into the ring and of course had no training against that type of fighter.
 Red Knox of the Ketchikan Team won clear cut decision over our Roy Brown, who was outweigh ed and a little outclassed. He did not have enough experience for the Redhead, however Roy never let his opponent land a solid punch.
 Odin Stutrud and Billy LaDusua fought slam bang fight from the opening gong to the end of the fight. It was bruising battle, both boys landing number of solid punches. Only clean living and su- perb condition kept these boys on their feet, in fact the spectators winced from some of the blows struck The fight was called draw and justly so. If these boys are ever matched again it will be well worth going long way to see.
 Two. heavyweights from Juneau fought an exhibition, as there were no opponents available among the Roy Wilfred and War ren Cooper, who put on good per formance. No decision was ren- dered.
 The main attraction and much publicized bout between the idol of Juneau, Hank Majcher and the pride of Ketchikan, Red Rassmus- sen,s was a disappointment only in

TALK OF THE TOWN" IS FINE FILM COMING
Capitol Theatre Presents One of Years Best
 Beginning Sunday

Cary Grant, Jean Arthur and Ronald Colman are starred in Col umbia's highly successful new TO- mantle comedy The Talk of the Town" which opens Sunday at the Capitol Theatre. The film was produced and directed by George Stevens, maker of Woman of the Year and Penny Serenade" Irwin Shaw and Sidney Buchanan. author of Here Comes MT Jordan" and other sensationally successful films, penned the screen play for The Talk of the Town" whose support ing cast includes Edgar Buchanan, Glenda Farrell and Tom Tyler.
 The Talk of the Town pre- senting it's star trio with roles of equal and valuable merit, is report ed to be a motion picture made for laughter and for excitement. Grant is seen as a likable guy whose zeal for his fellow-man sets the otficialdom of his town against him, so that he is unjustly accused of arson and murder, Escaping from jail he takes refuge in the country cottage rented by Colman, who is cast as a bearded law school dean, dignified and impractical, a man convinced that the theory of the law is of sole importance; its prac- tice is not his concern. Miss Arthur is the town gossips' favorite tar get, a warm m-hearted lovable young woman who aids Grant in his re- fuge, and joins with him in at tempting to convince Colman that the theory and the practice must go hand in hand When that idea finally is realized, Colman swings into determined action in his eff fort to prevent a miscarriage of justice.
