j. ). Seizure Of Seven
Pennsylvania Mines
Appears Likely
Union Leaders Defy WLB
Order to End WoIkout
Of White Collar Worker,
BY the Associated Press,

Government seizure Of seven soft
coal mines in Western Pennsylvania,
to head off the threat of widespread
white collar" strikes, appeared like
ly today after the United Mine
Workers leaders here fatty defied
a War Labor Board order to termi-
nate a walkout.
The WLB voted unanimously late
yesterday to refer to President
Roosevelt a strike at seven mines
operated by the Rochester g. Pitts
burgh Coal Co., Indiana. Pa, and
the Ford Collieries Co., Curtisville,
Pa.
The board acted after receiving
a telegram from John McAlpine,
president of the United Clerical,
Technical and Supervisory Union,
a unit of district so of the United
Mine Workers. In response to ap-
peals from the board, Mr.. McAlpine
replied:
Due to the fact that the board
cannot legally accept Jurisdiction of
main issues on ballot, namely COL
lective bargaining and union rec
ognition, the members of this union
see no reason why they should ter
inmate present work stoppage."
The UNIV, organizing the white
collar forces of the coal companies,
is attempting to obtain recognition
as bargaining agent. Employer
recognition of supervisory workers
is not required, nor is it prohibited,
by interpretations of the National
Labor Relations Board. The strike
at the seven mines has left about
1000 production workers idle and
the tieup is threatening to spread
to other mines.
Acting Secretary of the Interior
Abe Fortas, appealing to the workers
to stay on the job, said yesterday
that the union had served strike
notices at 81 mines in Pennsylvania,
Kentucky and West Virginia produc-
ing coal for steel mills. Mr.. Fortas
declared the strikes would slow
production of military weapons and
"needlessly cost more American
lives"

today in State Tax Department re.
ports.
OF the total of $10,l83,2l0.50 as
sessed during this period, $780,

In 1913, the reports showed assess
ment Of $1.776, ,202.50 in taxes, with
a delinquency amounting to 1884,

The tax Is not collectable by law
until it is more than three years
past due. Collection then Is consid-
cred to costly to make such activi.
ties profitable.
In Washington Representative
Woodrum won support from one
colleague and opposition from an
other to his proposal that the poll
tax be abolished as a voting pre-
requisite in Virginia.
Representative Satterfield agreed
with Mr.. Woodrum that 1.-The time
has come to abolish" the poll tax,
but he emphasized that he thought
the repeal was problem to be ham
died by the State and not the Fed
eral Government.
Representative Drewry said he
thought the poll tax not only was
justif1able but source Of revenue
Virginia's public schools would sore
ly miss If eliminated.
Representatives Burch and Smith
took the position that if the Vir-
ginia General Assembly wanted to
submit the repeal proposition to the
voters In a constitutional referen-
dunn they had no objection. They
emphasized that it was strictly the
business of the State legislators.
No comment was made by Repre-

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Aug. 31.-Dr.
Herman E. Hilleboe, medical di-
rector Of the United States Public
Health Service in charge of tu-
berculosis control, asserted yester-
day Tuberculosis in the community
the State and in the Nation cannot
only be controlled, but eventually
can be eradicated."
DR.. Hilleboe gave the principal
address at the tuberculosis Control
Institute, sponsored by the Anne
Arundel County Tuberculosis As
sociation and county health de-
partment. The meeting. which was
held IN the Statehouse, was pre-
sided over by DR.. William j. French
county health director.
DR.. Hilleboe said tuberculosis is 4
family disease and must be con-
trolled on a family basis, since cpl
denies spread within the home to
various members of the household
before spreading to unrelated out
side contacts.
Urges Scientific Approach.
Recommending a scientific ap-
proach to the problem, DR.. Hilleboe
stated that health authorities should
determine the group in each COM
munity affected by tuberculosis and
then record the color. sex, age and
economic status of the individuals
afflicted before concentrating on
methods of cure.
Tuberculosis is not only q med
ical problem, 1t Is also q terrific
social and economic problem" he
said.
DR.. Hilleboe suggested that Sc.
curity should be provided for de.
pendents Of those found with tuber.
culosis before patients are sent tc
sanatoria, explaining that persons
found with tuberculosis often pre-
sent problem to health authorities
since they will not abide by the
necessary restrictions in the fear
their families will not be cared for
economically.
O'COnor Promises Support.
Prior to DR.. Hilleboe's speech, Gov
O'Conor promised his support to any
moves of the State and county
health officials in their tight against
tuberculosis, particularly emphasiz-
ing his concern over the need for
increasing the number Of beds for
Negro tuberculosis victims In Mary
land.
DR.. Hilleboe said that one de-
velopment within the last five years
which has greatly aided those
fighting tuberculosis was the small
film now used in taking chest ex-
aminations. He recommended that
all persons entering hospitals in the
future should be given a routine
X-ray, with this film as a means o1
determining hidden cases of the
disease. He explained that since
the small film was developed health
officials locally and nationally hae
been able to carry their work into
every section of the Nation by mean,
of portable X-ray equipment.

Establishment of a charter form
OF government, they say, would
mean that a high income tax, a

schools or roads, socialized medi-
cine or any other proposal would
become law through the votes of
five or the nine county councilmen
The charter provision for the elec-
ton of four councilmen at large,
according to opponents of the meas
ure, would inaugurate political war;
fare between the suburban area with
28,000 voters and the rural area
with 1900 voters. They claim that
although there has been little or no
sectional friction in the county for
the hast rs years, the provision In
the charter for the election of four
councimen at large and five by dis
tricts would create and maintain
sectional differences.

unavoidable, they contend, there is
no method under which it can be

Under the present plan, Judge
Brault emphasized, the voters can
change every individual elected to

would be removed under the pro-

Judge Brault also asserted that

For all we know, it may be a

disclosing that no official word OF

more than two months. The War
Shipping Administration stated on

there is some word from Govern
ment sources that Kelly is dead, he
cannot 60 to the court and ask that
the trial proceed without the 18th

Under legal procedure, the pros
ecution suggests the death" of de-
fendant and his papers are then
marked deceased and set aside.

proof Of Kelly's death. A depart
ment spokesman said the agency
only had received copy of a mes
sake from the South Pacific to VISA

While Kelly may not be considered
dead by the district attorneys Office,

made public July 27, listed So. 300 in

Mr.. Fihelly also disclosed that it

the present grand jury expires on

He added that it may or may not

Opposition to the proposed estab-
lishment of a charter form Of gov
ernment In Montgomery County Is
based on the contention that it
would set up a permanent bu-
reaucracy.
According to Judge Albert E.
Brault, executive secretary and
treasurer Of the Citizens Committee
to Defeat Charter, the proposed
charter permits county voters to
vote only for members of county
council. Every other function Of
the county government would be
handed over to . group of perma-
nent bureaucrats, eath of whom
wonld have a life tenure of ONCE,
he added, and could be removed only
by the county manager.
"Disenfranchise Selves"
Through their very votes to
adopt the charter" he declared, "the
citizens disenfranchise themselves
to the extent that they place the
responsibility to do their future
thinking and voting on county af-
fairs in these permanent bu-
reaucrats."
Charter opponents point out that
under the present form Of county
government, the voters elect all the
county commissioners who admins

as the county's legislative represent

or reform that the voters want.
Under the present system, they
claim, the voters are the county

the voters will be merely taxpayers,

The company had sought to dis

telegraphers stationed there could
be used more advantageously else
where.
The commission ruled such dis
continuance would be unjust and
