No one had refused the post of
Government manager among the
hundreds of responses received thus
far, Mr.. 1ckes said.
Mr.. Ickes' announcement said
that more than a score of mines,
although accepting the terms of the
Governments telegraphic seizure,
petitioned Immediately for release,
saying that their production had not
been stopped and that they foresaw
no strike"
Mr.. Ickes, who had provided for
filing of these petitions in such in

managers should wire tomorrow
the extent to which employees have
returned to work"
"As soon as these petitions can be
processed and conclusions reached,
the releases from Government seiz-
ure will begin going out" the an
nouncement said.
Prior to the truce Mr.. Ickes tele-
graphed Governors of % States, sug-
gesting they communicate with him
before taking any action In mine
areas to protect working miners,
aside from ordinary policing. Mr..
1ckes explained that the President
and Secretary Of War have arranged
that all requests for armed inter-
kvention be channeled direct to him
by his regional coal managers. He
suggested each Governor designate q

CEILING ON WOMEN'S
WORK HRS. SHELVED

Hartford, Conn, April 28-(Up =
The house today adhered to Its for.
mer action and refused to consider
the senate amended bill to place q
ceiling Of IS hours a week on women
employed In industry.
This attitude Of the house, In de-
clining to accept the senate annend-
ments, was believed to have shelved
the bill for this session.
The senate amendments proposed
that women not be allowed to leave
or report for work between ! and 8
q. m, unless transportation was pro-
vlded, and allowed for one day on
out Of every seven.
The house version imposed the
ceiling to legalize an emergency war
