AT THE FRENCH FROM

ing at a supply source of fugitive
Frenchmen holding out in the
French Alps against a German
labor draft, French police and
German Elite Guards have ar
rested numbers of French viii
layers who furnished food to the
fugitives.
The Vichy regime has appeal
ed for every precaution to avoid
bloodshed and the arrest Of the
villagers indicated that a direct
attack on the insurgents, many
of whom have guns and ammu-
milton, was being delayed.
The great majority of more
than 5000 fugitives were said to
be holding out despite the cap
ture of small bands forced out
of their Businesses by hunger.
One trainload Of captured and
surrendered youths was report
ed to have left Annecy for Ger

disclosed.
Planes over the Savoie regions

Behind Locked Door

NEW YORK, March 10 up
- Spokesman for the Appalach-
ian bituminous mine operators
and representatives of the United
Mine Workers continued to
meet behind closed doors to-
day, seeking contract agree
ments involving $50, 900 miners.
There was no indication at
the conclusion of separate SUBJ
committee sessions of the north
ern and southern field groups
yesterday that there was immi-
nent agreement on the UMW's
demands, which include basic
$2-a-day wage increase.
UNIV President John L. Lewis
and various union district leaders
have declared that unless q new
contract is negotiated upon the
expiration of the present one
March 81 the miners will stop
work. The operators have re-
jected all of the unions major
demands.
Following adjournment Of the
northern subcommittee session,
Ezra Van Horn, chairman of the
general conference said that I'VE
have agreed on nothing"
Former u. S. Senator Edward
r. Burke, president of the
Southern Coal Producers Asso-
citation, echoed this statement
following the southern sub-com-
mittee meeting, saying, 1--WE
haven't reached any conclusions
on anything"
Burke explained that repre-
sentatives had examined the Va
rious points at issue, but that
their discussions had not yet led
to definite conclusions. He add
ed, I'VE have made some prog
ress in clearing up some points
in doubt II in fact, / can say
very considerable progress along
this line"
John O'Leary, vice president
of the United Mine Workers,
said, "No conclusions have been
made on any point"
Spokesman for the operators
had contended earlier that the
unions demand for a S2-a-day
increase was calculated on q
portal-to-portal basis and would
mean q total increase of So to
81 q day.
At the present time miners
are paid on the basis of the time
they spend in their place of work
and not for the time required to
spend travelling through the
mine to and from the surface.

Owens Elected
Social Workers
Region Chairman

S. Vincent Owens, Executive
Secretary of the st. Paul Urban
League, was elected chairman of
Region 10 of the State Conference
of Social Workers at the annual
regional business meeting held
Tuesday evening, Nov. 16, at the
Volunteers of America Bldg. There
are about 400 under Mr.. Owens
supervision.
The speaker at the meeting, Fri
Hubert of the Chicago office of the
Federal Housing Administration,
told the social workers there is an
excellent opportunity here in the
upper middle west to demonstrate
to the rest of the country an eff
fective program of race relation
ships; that citizens must declare
where they stand, either against
discrimination or for it, and must
do something about it.
He said citizens must also take
steps to counterfeit statements
holding Negroes or any other mi
nority group up to ridicule. "The
Negro of today is not the type re-
leased from slavery but intelligent
and capable of holding jobs t h t
any other citizens can hold"
Mr.. Hubert said that in all Fed
eral Housing Projects throughout
the country Negroes are the best
tenants. They pay more promptly,
keep their lawns in better condi-
ton and very often do interior dec
Grating at their own expense in or
der to keep their homes up to a
certain standard. He praised Ne
groes living in Sumner Field,
Minneapolis, for taking the initia-
tive in organizing a cooperative
store. They lead the field nation
ally in such an interracial project
in Federal Housing homes.
The Housing executive further
stated that American citizens just
don't think but with the Jewish
pogroms in Boston, the gang fights
in Chicago and riots in Detroit,
something must be done in a much
less haphazard manner than hereto
fore. He said the Negro problem
is no longer national but one of
international significance tied up
with problems of other darker
races.
He stated, eff the courage of our
convictions is strong enough to
die for on the battlefront, we
should have the courage to fight for
them at home"
