(Pieturss on Pages 4, I'D

Identified through fingerprints
as a shoplifter with long Grim
inal record, Mrs. Leola Lees, AZ,
was being questioned Saturday
afternoon by police and federal
agents about bookkeeping activ-
tiles which led TO a police raid
on her 10-room house at 1042
Helen and the removal OF six chill
dren, ranging in age from a
months to 5 years.
Mrs. Lees is also known as Leila
Rose, Gertie Petit. Leona Petit
and Leola Miller, Prosecutor
Bowling announced.
Efforts were being made 10
establish the parentage of the
children Mrs. Lees had been
keeping.
DENIES IDENTIFICATION
Frank Saska, a war worker who
lives in a hotel, admitted that one
OF the children, previously identi-
fled as Barbara Stark, ia months
old. was his daughter. whom he
had placed with Mrs. Lees in the
belief that she was operating a
legitimate boarding house for in
fants.
When first interviewed by police
Saska denied all knowledge of the
child.
Mrs. Lees, whose record of ar
rests goes back to 1916 when she
was given a sentence of go DAYS
or a $50 fine for shoplifting, de-
MED the proof of Identification
even after being confronted with
the photograph of her finger
prints.
She was arrested five times in
Detroit and once in Hamilton,
Ont, between 1916 and 1888.
Unable TO furnish the $1,000
bond demanded by Recorders
Judge Stein when she sought re-
lease on a habeas corpus writ,
Mrs. Lees made many conflicting
statements about the children,
variously describing them as rela-
tives and the flotsam of homes
wrecked by the war.
TWO OTHERS ARRESTED
Mrs. Lees was arrested late Fri
day night when she returned TO
her house after having left five of
the children locked inside for at
least three hours and another
locked out.

been posted in the place took into

Roosevelt Sets
Coal Deadline
Striking Miners Get
Monday TO Decide
By International New. Service

The coal crisis moved swiftly
toward a climax Saturday night
as more than 100000 miners were
idle in IL states in defiance of the
government and their own
leaders.
United Mine Workers headquar-
ters maintained a hands Off
policy with the prospect of a
spontaneous general walkout after
the mine truce expires Sunday
midnight.
A UNIV spokesman in Wash
ington said no action was con-
templated to supplement the min
ers' instructions of last summer
when they were told TO return to
work under their old contract
until Oct. 81.
NOW UP TO MINERS
The union was thus apparently
leaving il up 10 the miners in
dividually TO determine If they
would walk out or wait for a de-
cision from the UNIV policy COM
mittee.
President Roosevelt announced
he would withhold direct govern
ment intervention 10 end the
strikes until after the scheduled
meeting Monday of the United
Mine Workers 200-man policy
committee, called into session by
UNIV Chief John L. Lewis.
The President expressed con-
fidence the committee will accept
the WLB wage proposals for the
industry but" the Chief Execu-
tive warned. "if 1 am mistaken
and the miners do not accept the
boards proposals, i shall take de-
cisive action to see that coal Is
mined"
PRESIDENT ADAMANT
President Roosevelt added that
the nation must have more coal to
meet its war needs, and that he
would take whatever steps neces-
sary 10 insure its production.
r. w. Weir, assistant Illinois
director of mines and minerals,
forecast the possibility of federal
rationing of coal, a forecast
strengthened by the action of
Solid Fuels Administrators Harold
L. Ickes in freezing" coal sup
plies now on hand at all mines for
speedy distribution in the event of
local shortages.
Ickes also announced that de-
liveries of anthracite coal to con-
sumers may be no larger than
half a ton and that no domestic
user of hard coal may get any of
the fuel if he has more than 10
days supply on hand.
In Pennsylvania alone, $4,000
miners were on strike, and. the
u. s. Bureau of Mines reported,
coal production was but So per
cent of normal.
In that state, as in others af-
fected by the walkout, plants
manufacturing materials of war
were forced to curtail production
because of the shortage of fuel.

10000 miners were idle. open
