WLb Order
Await Possible
Government Seizure

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Jan. 10
- (P) Thousands of Pennsyl-
vanias striking anthracite min
ers awaited possible government
seizure of their closed collieries
today, flatly refusing to end
their 19-day old wildcat walkout
despite the war labor boar DIS
second back to- work ultimatum.
A total of 1880 in Is coll
lieries had voted to remain idle
and spokesman for another 900
in e 14th mine said they also
would not return.
Another $500 agreed, how
ever, to reopen nine collieries
today, thus ceasing their partici-
patton in what has been called
the costliest walkout in man
hours lost since Pearl Harbor.
Meanwhile William H. Davis,
chairman of the war labor
board, announced in Baltimore
that he would communicate with
other members of the board i'm

When the boards first back

last week, Davis said the agency
was determined to do every
thing in its power to see that
full production was resumed
without delay.
Strike leaders and others took
the statement to mean that, if
necessary, the board would ask
President Roosevelt to seize
closed mines in the name of the
government.
The board has declared that
the strike is endangering the
