Back to work movements Sched-
uled for today by 216,000 mine
workers in six states and 1000
Michigan power workers will cut
the total of idle due to labor dis

mainder were due to report back
to work today.
In the Pittsburgh steel area,

got under way Sept. 81, it was ex-
pected a week would be required
for sufficient coal to reach mills
and coke ovens before some 49,.
700 furloughed steel workers will

BY JAMES LINDSLEY
Associated Press Staff Writer

TOKYO, Oct. 81 - R-General
MacA-thur's legal officer, Col.
Alva c. Carpenter, limited today
that special International Tri.
bunals might be instituted to try
certain japanese charged with
crimes against all Allies and that
members of the Imperial family
were not immune.
Carpenter said war criminal
trials, which may begin within &c
days, will last for at least two
years and that Japanese facing
trial totalled 1000 and might
climb to twice that number. Five
hundred Japanese are now in Gus
tody in Japan.
In response to a direct question
whether there was possibility
of Emperor Hirohito being tried a:
a war criminal, Carpenter said the
Emperor had not been investi
gated as an individual, but that il
examinations of state papers lee

would be followed regardless OF
where they go.
There is strong possibility tha'
International Courts may be es'
tablished in some cases to try
some class l defendants whose al
legged acts were directed against
all Allied powers, Carpenter an
nounced.
This also may be done in the
cases of some class 3 suspects
who are accused of atrocities
against the nationals of severa
countries.
"For instance" Carpenter point
ed out, lit would be foolish fol
us to try a japanese prison camp

if we learned he had killed ar
Australian.
'"There will be close collabora

He added that this applied tt
Russia as well as other Allies
although as yet "the Soviet Onio1
had made no demands to try any

Carpenter refused to say wheth

abandoning the constitution of the
