SEVEN UNIONS ARE LINED UP, STRIKE ISSUE
Unified Action Is Urged for Proposed WaIkout on
 Coast, Gulf, Lakes

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1o.-A unity policy committee today built the framework for proposed fed eration of seven maritime unions, whose delegates in convention here already have agreed to fight their economic battle in unison.

 Bridges, International President of the Longshoremen, in moving for adjournment. said that this year, as in 1884, We will be accused of trying to capture the marine in- dustry with revolution, when all we are trying to do is to capture a few pennies to live on,'

The W ashingtoIl Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Tragedy of the coal strike situation is that public reaction against John L. Lewis has diverted attention away from one very just grievance on the part of the ninels-mine accidents.
 Numbering, coal and metal min- ing cost more lives per working hour than any other industries in the nation. According to the Ma tionel Safety Council there are sos disabling injuries for every 1000 900 man-hours in the coal and metal mines, compared to l4.6 dis ablirg injuries per 100000 man. hours of work in the entire na- ton.
 AS late as 1941, Congress passed the National Coal Mine Inspection Act empowering annual inspection of mines by the U. s. Bureau Of Mines. However, the coal operators lobby in Congress succeeded in winning it's battle against compul- sion. In other words. the operators don't have to carry out Bureau or Hines recommendations. The Bu- rcau can only advise.
 Larger mines, however, usually do carry out these recommenda- tions, and it is the small mines where most accidents occur.
 The day after last Christmas, there was an explosion in the Bel va Mine near Pineville, Ky. Twen- ty-six men lost their lives. This mine was not "gassy" under Ken lucky law, which meant that men could work in it with open (car- bide, lamps. The Bureau of Mines, however held that it was gassy and suggested the use of closed telectric) lamps. The Bureaus tests had shown one-tenth of percent of gas, but the Mine had been closed for three days over Christ mas and the gas had accumulated

MINERS ARE ORDERED TO
 GO TO PITS
Lewis Takes Action Follow ing Conference al
 White House
tnY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

A 'l2-day truce in the soft coal strike. to take effect Monday. was called by. John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers Pressdent, today.
 Subordinate leaders of 100000 striking coal miners were instruct cd to get their local memberships back in the pits as soon as the local mine arrangements agreed to make retroactive during the truce any pay increase negotiated later.
 Lewis called his action "the con- -ribution' of his union ito our na- t'on's economy
 The operators deferred announc- ing their decision on the plan un- til after White House conference with President Truman at 1 pm. PSTD.
 He said the nations economy was being "impe,ilcd by the stupidity and selfish greed of the coal oper- ators and associated financial in- .erests and by dernagogucs who
 
 have tried to lash the public mind into state of hystcria rather than grant justice and fair treatment" to miners.
 Tho action came shortly after President Truman invited Lewis and representative of the coal in- dustry to White House meeting at p.nl lRSTl. The meeting was called after MI. Truman met with his cabinet
 Aa word of Lewis action spread across the nation. where commerce and industry were crippled as they never were during the war, regu- latcry bodies assigned to the con servation of dwindling coal stocks arrs nged hurried meetings to study the effects of the truce upon their restrictions.
