$4,000 Mine
Workers Out
BY CHARLES H. HERROLD

Washington, May 2-UP)-The
War Labor Board today awaited
John L. Lewis reply to its second
back-to-Work order before asking
President Truman to take over the
nations hard coal mines.
Fuel Administrator Harold l..
Ickes was ready to take over and
operate the mines which have been
strike-bound since Monday mid
night by the walkout Of 72,0O0 OF
Lewis United Mine Workers. They
won't work because they lack a
new contract to replace the one
which expired April 80.
Ickes must await necessary pres
idential authority, however, and
that depends on a nod from the
WLB and Sterilization Director
WAiam H. Davis. WLB referral of
- dispute will be delayed until
90wis and the anthracite operators

their differences are peacefully
and finally resolved" All wage
provisions of the new agreement
are to be retroactive to May /,
WLB said.
The operators had asked that the
extension be limited to 80 days and
the parties be required to report on
their progress in one week. WLB's
disregard of this request was in
terpreted as a hint to the produc-
ers and UNIV to make an agree
ment quickly somewhere within the
proposals of Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins.
Miss Perkins proposals for shift
Nfferentials, vacation allowances
end travel time payments were said
TO provide the anthracite miners
with q daily wage increase COM
parable to that gained BY the soft

the soft coal pay boost at $1.02

Club Livestock" Slaughter
Provision
To further the programs OF Future
Farmers of America, Al clubs and
similar youth organizations in Mis-
sissippi, OPA District Director, Ma
jor W. E. Holcomb today called at
tention to a provision in the meat
control program which enables them
TO apply for authorization to have
club livestock" custom slaughtered
fo- them.
Frequently at fairs and other
shows and exhibits the CLUB live
stock" is bought by persons who or
dinarily could not have the animals
custom slaughtered because they do
not have quotas, he explained.
Under this provision, buyers of the
livestock at sales authorized by the
OPA may apply to War Price and
Rationing Boards designated by the
destrict OPA office, for permission
to have the animals custom slaugh-
tered, he said.
Rent Control-Focts About Evictions
Major w. E. Holcomb, OPA Dis
trict Director in Mississippi today
called attention of landlords and
tenants in areas where rent control
is in effect to the following facts a.
bout evictions.
Whenever a tenant is told that he
is about to be removed, he can con-
suit the OPA rent office about hts
rights.
OPA does not order evic,ions. The
agency restrains evictions except
for certain specified grounds where
proper notices have been given to
the tenant and the OPA.
A copy Of an eviction form used
by OPA is not a court order, and It
does not constitute an order to
move. A tenant cannot be evicted on
the grounds that he refused to pay
more than the legal rent.
A tenant may not be evicted SIM
ply because his lease has expired,
unless he refuses to renew his lease
at no more than the legal maximum
rent for a period of no more than
one year.
