A Firmer Stand

In announcing LnaC The IOVeTn-
ment intends to restore the coal
mines to their rightful owners in
compliance with the provisions set
out in the Connally- Smith bill, the
President has taken somewhat
firmer stand against the attempt by
John L. Lewis to punish the mine
owners by depriving them inded-
nitely Of the right to operate their
own properties.
This issue first took shape when
the War Labor Board called upon
the United Mine Workers to sign a
new contract with the operators.
This was ignored by Mr.. Lewis, who
ordered the miners back to work
until October 81 under the stipula-
ton that the truce" would expire at
the moment the Government ceased
to continue in operation of the mines.
And at his press conference last week
the President said he did not intend
to order Mr.. Lewis to sign a contract,
indicating he did not think the Gov
eminent could compel him to obey
such an order.
1t appeared that the effect OF this
was to sanction the condition laid
down by Mr.. Lewis, and thereby pun
ish the owners because of the posi-
ton taken by the union. But, 80 far
as may be judged at this time, this
is not to be the case.
The Connally-Smith bill requires
that ANY mine" taken over by the
Government must be returned to the
private owners in not more than
sixty days after the restoration of
the productive efficiency prevailing
prior to the taking OF possession by
the Government. And, barring
deliberate effort to defeat the intent
Of this provision by a planned effort
to prevent restoration Of productive
efficiency in all mines, this means
that at least some of the properties
will have to be turned back to their
owners before the october 81 dead
line which has been laid down by
Mr.. Lewis, but which the President
has refused to recognize.
Naturally, the question arises as
to what the Government will do If
the return of any mine is followed
by another strike. If the Govern
ment lacks power to compel Mr..
Lewis to sign contract, as directed
by WLB. it may be wondered how
it can compel him to accept the
return OF the mines to their owners.
But there are important differences
between the two situations. In the
one, the Government, without any
authority of law, would be in the
position OF attempting to compel a
union to sign an agreement with
private employers. If such an at
tempt were to be made, and il Mr..
Lewis should refuse to comply, what
could the Government do? But in
the second situation, the miners, by
striking during the so-called cooling
of period provided by the law, would
subject themselves to suits for dam
ages by the mine owners. This might
serve as deterrent to hasty action
by the union, and 1t would tend to
relieve the Government Of RESPONSE
bility to take punitive action against
the miners.
All of these considerations are
subject, however, to the overriding
need of the Government for coal to
carry on the war. II, for any reason,
the production of coal should stop,
the clash between the President and
John Lewis would be back where it
was before the latter's latest decision
to permit the mines to be operated
for a few more weeks.

Their not-too-private affairs:
II producers had anything to do

would be tossed out in the alley
and permanently. It is difficult for
an actress to win one and still stay

nine winner of the past three years
has hit the clouds after carting
home one of the little copper stat
uettes. Greer Carson is the latest.
She not only wants to o. K. all her
still pictures but demands a final
say on direction. Joan Fontaine
and Ginger Rogers were previous
cut-ups, but both have since re-
turned to earth. Records show that
all male winners have taken their
triumphs in stride
Based on the Will Hays report of
30 100000 customers a week during
the past year, movie business Is ex-
pected to climb past the million-a-
week mark in 1943 With 20 per
cent fewer pictures in production
today as compared to a year ago,
Hollywood is apparently aiming at
longer runs. A crisis was
approa ching this week on the set
OF big picture at Warmers. with
several feminine members of the
cast threatening to walk out. The
director, who has skyrocketed to
the top Of his field in less than two
years, is using too much profanity,
