Mr.. ONeill declared at the hear
ing that the operators would agree
to extension, but he suggested that
it be limited to 80 days so that
the liability incumbent upon pro-
ducers for retroactive pay be held
to a minimum. He said that mines
were operating on very narrow"
profit margin of from 7eto cents
a ton of coal, and that Miss Perkins
proposal would add 80 cents a ton
to production cost. Mr.. O'Neill said
he feared many mines would be
forced to close if mediation was ex-
tended over a long period, since
they would be unable to bear the
load of back pay involved.

Oklahoma Mines May
Close Durinq Dispute

HENRIETTA, Okla, Mar. 81 tP).
"A director of the Arkansas Okla

said tonight that mines which last
year produced 100000 tons of coal
may shut down next week pending
settlement of a War Labor Board
order for retroactive pay liability
to miners.
Earl Wells, a director in the Oper-
ators' Association, said meeting
had been called for Monday at Fort
Smith, Ark, when operators of the
two-State area would decide what
action should be taken.
Many operators feel that they
cannot afford to take such q gam

Nearly 5000 miners would be af-

The committee, which is headed
by Senator La Toilette, Progressive,

viction that upon stronger and
more effective Congress may we'll
depend the preservation Of democ-
racy in the United States"
The committee cited the in
creased legislative concern" over the
decline Of Congress in relation to
the Executive branch.
There are manifest growing ten
denotes in recent times toward the
shift OF policy-making power to the
Executive, partly because of the
comparative lack of effective in
strumentalities and the less ade-
quate facilities of the legislative
branch" the report said.
ITO redress the balance and re-
cover its rightful position in our
governmental structure, Congress,
many members feel, must modernize
its machinery, coordinate its vari-
GUS parts and establish the research

The Pan American Union Govern.
ing Board yesterday accepted with
satisfaction" a communication from
the Argentine government looking
to adherence to the Western Hem.
isphere agreements Of Mexico City.
The action apparently paved the
way for early recognition of the
Farrell government at Buenos Aires
by the United States and other
American nations which have with.
held recognition. @y=
The resolution adopted by the
Pan American Union Board said 1t
had noted with satisfaction the
measures adopted by the Argentine
government as well as those subse-
quently taken" in connection with
Argentine declaration of war against
the Axis and the decision to adhere
to the acts Of the recent Mexico
conference Of American republics.
"The board believes" the resolu.
ton said. that these measures are
in accordance with the criteria OF
Resolution SO of the Conference of
Mexico" AS result, the board
asked the director general of the
union to send the Argentine COM
munication and its resolution to

Argentine Charge D'Afiaires Gar

to point out that the union now
had before it the official government

America are willing to accept the
order of the WLB, directing con-
tinuation of coal production on a
retroactive basis. The United Mine
Workers, however. must await the
decision and acceptance by the
operators of the boards order, and
execute with the operators a stipu-
lation whereby the operators &C
cept financial responsibility for full
filling the retroactive obligation con-
tanned in the WLB order"
Guarantee Demanded.
A miners spokesman explained
that Mr. Lewis meant that a guar
antee of back pay should be in
corporated in the agreement ex-
tending the contract.
Operators Immediately pointed
out that the WLB order contained
no provision for written guarantee
of financial responsibility"
The WLB order calling for in
definite extension of contract pro-
vided for a continuance of free
negotiations between miners and
operators this week, with report
to be made to the board on the
status of negotiations next Saturday
or earlier if the talks break down.
The board recognized the i'm
portance of speed in working out
new contract by agreeing to hear
the case itself rather than to set
up special panel as is customarily
done. WLB said a hearing date
would be set Immediately upon noti-
lcation that negotiations are termi-
mated.
Industry members of the board
dissented from that part of the
order providing for fully retroactive
pay.
Lewis, O'Neill Clash.
WLB issued the extension order
after a stormy hearing At one
point Mr. Lewis nearly came to
blows with Charles O'Neill, spokes-
man for the operators. Accusing
Mr.. O'Neill of making a personal
attack upon him, Mr. Lewis leaped
to his feet and shouted:
IF you want to make personal
attack on me, I will come over there
and make it easier
For a tense moment, it appeared
the operator would accept the chal-
lenge, but finally said he was
sorry"
That's all right" answered Mr..
Lewis, glowering, but be careful
how you use my name"
Mr.. ONeill had accused the mine
leader with using the hearing as
"rostrum" to vent his spleen" on
President Roosevelt, the Govern
ment and the operators.
Mr.. Lewis had charged that the
President and Federal officials had
broken promises during the strike
torn l943 negotiations that the
miners would receive retroactive
pay for future wage increases
granted them. He pointed out the
miners got only $40 in such back
pay.
He said that because of this the
miners would insist that the oper-
ators take out a $15,0o0,0OO surety
bond or place the money in Gov
ernment-held escrow as a guarantee

tires, 1t is perhaps well that no
large increases will be feasible for
some months after Germany Is de-
feated."
Along the same line, in q press
conference discussion of his report,
Mr.. Byrnes said he expected that
some OF the raw materials to be
released by the Army cutback would
60 to the automobile industry, but
he added, he did not know anything
about the production that the in
dustry contemplated.
Consider Two Alternatives.
Discussing production controls
and reconversion, Mr.. Byrnes said
the armed services were making
plans based on two alternatives:
Total collapse and complete sur
render Of Germany, or progressive
dissolution.
Reviews Of military requirements
that have been In progress since his
ONCE was created nearly two years
ago already have accomplished sub
stantial savings in manpower, in
materials, in dollars" Mr.. Byrnes
said. He cited:
A military procurement cutback
in February, 1914, amounting to
$l2 SOC, ,o00, 900.
Slicing Of a newly announced ma
val construction program calling
for more than a billion and third
dollars, from "a warships to IL, and
a consequent reduction In naval out
lay Of from $1,57o, 100000 in the
first quarter Of this year to $1,000
900 900 in the comparable period of
l94e.
The proposed naval ships discard
ed, Mr.. Byrnes said, were not nee
essary for the war on Japan, in the
opinion Of the commander Of the
fleet, Admiral Ernest j. King: No
other Navy cutbacks are in sight,
Mr.. Byrnes told his press confer
ence.
Another elimination was 1913 Lib
erty ships, which decreases the
Maritime Commission construction
program from $970, 100000 in the
first quarter of this year to $780,
100000 in the fourth quarter. A
further reduction in 1916 was fore
cast.
The Army munitions cutback of
about 40 per cent after We day Is
not much different than the esti-
mate of year ago, the press con-
ference was told, with the excep-
ton that "it tapers off instead of
having sharp cut" right after
Germany quits.
Move Materiel to Pacific.
After We day, it is intended to
move all available materiel from
Europe to the Pacific theater, and
MIR. Byrnes estimated maximum
Of five months-perhaps as few as
three-would be required to ac-
complish this. In the meantime,
munitions originally intended ior
Europe will be reconsigned to the
Pacific, he said, as it will be neces-
sary to keep pipeline" open for
the men who will be moving against
VAC OdPo.
Military construction also is un-
der review, and where programs can
be Cancelled, that will be done, with
due notice being given to Doth
management and labor affected by
these contracts.
This particular step, the report
said. will permit the diversion of
some machine tools to automobile
and other essential civilian indus
tries.
Some proposed high octane gaso-
line plants have been washed out
under this arrangement, and Mr.
Byrnes also has requested the can
collation. of orders for 40 tankers.
The reduced munitions produc-
ton will still absorb a large pro-
portion of our country's manpower
and materials" the report said, but
the WPB will use a streamlined
spot authorization procedure" in
the early months of reconversion ito

said he was sure" that agreement
on extension would be reached.
Earlier, Mr.. Lewis had telegraphed
all members Of the UNIV Policy
Committee last night, instructing
them to order maintenance men in
the mines to continue work today
and tomorrow, If they were assured
by their operators of retroactive pay.
If no agreement is reached and
the miners strike, evidence of
walkout probably would not show up
before Tuesday since few of the
miners will work today or tomor-
row. Today is traditional holiday
the anniversary of the eight-hour
day in the induStry-and most mines
will be closed tomorrow to mark
the anniversary.
A spokesman for the WLB said
WLB Chairman George Taylor
would call an extraordinary session
of the board today to consider the
situation and possibly recommend
seizure of the mines if no agreement
was reached.
Edward r. Burke, representative
of Southern producers in the nego-
tiations, said earlier in the evening
that the operators had informed
Secretary of the Interior Iches that
they would not sign an extension
agreement under terms proposed by
Mr.. Lewis. Mr.. Ickes, with an eye
on the conference, had asked re-
port from the operators on the Sit
uation.

tract for operation of the mines

pletely unwarranted and that there

cial responsibility.

broken contracts in the past, but

Burke continued, that we would

but that we would not vary one jot
or little from it."
negotiators for coal producers fur
nish full proof of their authority
to commit mine interests to the liza
bility of retroactive pay. Another
UNIV official said they wanted
proof that operators in the con-
ference represented the tonnage of
coal production they presented at
the beginning of contract negotia-
tions March l.
Charles J. Potter, deputy to Mr..
1ckes as solid fuels administrator,
watched the conference closely
from just outside the meeting room.
Mr.. Ickes, with Mr.. Potter's assist
ance, would operate the mines in
event of Government seizure.
Operators Urge Speed.
Coal producers had accepted the
WLB decision with the following
brief statement:
THE operators accept the direc-
tive of the War Labor Board without
qualification"
They had asked the board to
speed its efforts to settle contract
differences and limit the extension
to 80 days so that mine owners
financial burden in back pay would
be held to a minimum.
