Mine Owners Believe
Lewis Will ProIonu
Strike Through April
BY jones Y. Newton

Mine operators said today they do
not look for settlement of the five
day-old strike Of 100000 soft-coal
miners before May /.
They made the prediction that
month would be the minimum dura-
tion of the strike as negotiations
were resumed with John L. Lewis
United Mine Workers at the Shore
ham Hotel.
This gloomy prediction was based
on the operators belief that Mr..
Lewis would consume another 10
days OF negotiations on his demands
for improved mine safety measures
and a union welfare fund before he
gets around to talking about wages
and hours for a new contract.
Lewis Puts Safety Issue First.
MIR. Lewis has said there will be
no serious discussion of wages, hours
and unionization Of mine supervisory
workers until the operators have
settled satisfactorily the safety and
welfare issues.
The owners said they thought that
despite the tremendous buildup the
mine leader has given his welfare
fund demand the mine workers
main objective was to obtain greatly
increased pay. They believe that
when Mr.. Lewis specifies what he
wants in the way of wages it will
be double the amount obtained by
the CIO in recent settlements in the
steel and automobile industries.
Operators are convinced that Mr..
Lewis No. goal is to smash the
Governments new wage-price policy.
A months stoppage of soft coal
production would bring to a halt
most industrial operations depend
ent on the fuel. Solid Fuels Admin
istrator Krug estimated that an
average of 81 days working supply
Of coal is on hand. Many industries
have smaller supply and steel.
automobile and railroad industries
already are furloughing workers.
In yesterdays session Federal
Conciliator Paul W. Fuller broke up
an attempt by both operators and
miners to recess negotiations until
next Tuesday. Discussions during
the day were devoted largely to the
safety demand. Mr.. Lewis was ex-
pected to bring in a new proposal on
that issue today, and there seemed
some chance Of reaching an agree
ment on the point.
The negotiators still were far
apart, however, on nearly all pro-
visions Of new contract.

Army, wants one-year continuance

Without such an extension, Secre-
tary of War Patterson has testified,

strength of 100000 on July /, 1947.

murder of Dorothy Berrum, 18-

In regard to his plan to reduce
Welfare Board powers, Represent
ative Smith declared the question of
reorganizing welfare administration
was too important to wait either for
the completion of the congressional
investigation of the penal system or
the hearing on charges filed against
Howard B. Gill, suspended penal
superintendent, by the Board of
Public Welfare.
Overruling the Welfare Boards
request for delay, Mr.. Smith said
he would call his subcommittee to-
gether on an early date and hold
public hearings on the measure.
Final Judgment Deferred.
he QeScrlDed the present Setup
with a division of power over opera =
ton, as very odd, but deferred final
Judgment on the bill until after the
hearings are held. The bill would
leave the Welfare Board with only
advisory powers after creating a
Department of Welfare responsible
to the Commissioners.

ton bill probably will follow as soon
as the House committee completes
its study, Senator Johnston, Dem
ocrat, of South Carolina said today
He announced he would cali an early

committee he heads to discuss the

The only reason he does not favor
immediate hearings on the bill
Senator Johnston explained, is that
he does not want to make the in

Federal Wage-Hour Law would be
boosted to 60 cents.
Senator Pepper and his group
originally had proposed an i'm
mediate increase to IS cents and on
up to rs within four years. But
the Florida Senator gloomily agreed
to the compromise when it became
evident he could not get higher
figure.
Majority's Will Conceded.
Senator Pepper conceded that the
vote on the Russell amendment was
"a clear-cut expression of the ma
Jorlty of the Senate" He added,
however, that in his opinion the bill
as amended is "a worse bill than the
present law" S
obviously" he said, "it would be
an affront to the workers who might
be affected to add a few cents to
their wages and take more away
from them in higher living costs"
Senator Pepper interpreted the
result in part as "a vote against the
administrations wage-price policy
which has resulted in some increases
in wages"
During the debate which preceded
the critical vote, Senator Russell ex-
pressed the hope that Mr.. Truman
would change his mind and not veto
the bill. There was no indication
on Capitol Hill, however, that any
such possibility existed. Majority
Leader Barkley made it clear last
Friday that he was delivering a mes
sage direct from the President when
he announced the veto threat.

Battle for Trans Oil
Intensified , With Reds
Assured FoothoId
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 5-The battle
for Iraniah oil was on in earnest to-
day, with Soviet Russia all but guar
anteed an initial foothold in the
back doorway to the fabulously rich
Middle East petroleum fields now
dominated by British and American
interests.
Premier Ahmed Qavams agree
ment to formation of an Iranian-
Soviet oil company confirmed earlier
reports from informed oil officials
mere that such a move was prob
able.
1t was learned almost simultane-
ously that agents for at least one
American company are now at work
at least Informally in Iran, seeking
a concession, which, if granted,
would buttress British holdings along
the Persian Gulf.
Informal Conversations.
Under Iranian law no concessions
can be negotiated while foreign
troops are still on her soil. Oil men
here took it for granted, however,
that Premier Qavam would not have
signed the agreement he did unless
plans for the Soviet concession were
pretty we'll understood.
Similarly, there would be moth
ing to preclude informal conversa-
tions by other oil seekers.
The big question in the minds OF
interested petroleum men here is
how far south the Soviet concession
would run. Russian interest in a
Persian Gulf port has long been an
open secret. Such grant, how
ever, would cross territory coveted
by both British and American
concerns.
At least two American COM
panies-Sinclair and Standard of
New Jersey-have been actively in
terested in concessions there in re-
cent years. Presumably their in
terest has not cooled. The British
government, already entrenched in
the only fields now producing in
Iran, will want to protect if not
expand its holdings.
May Affect Balance of Power.
Neither British nor American
interests have ever made strong
passes at the Northern Iranian
area, largely because of the diff
Guilty of getting its oil out to points
of sale.
In fact. American oil men have
taken the position that the impor-
lance of a Soviet concession there
would not rest in the still-to-be-
determined amount of oil in this
region.
1t would, however, dent for the
first time an almost solid Anglo
American lineup in Middle Eastern
fields now considered the richest
prize in the world Control of this
petroleum conceivably may influ-
ence the balance of power in future
years.
Wallace E. Pratt, formerly of
Standard Oil of New Jersey and
widely recognized economic geol-
ogist, recently estimated the proba-
bic ultimate oil resources off the
Middle East at 10000, 100000 bar
rels. This would be 30 per cent of
the world figure.
Against this, Russia's probable re-
sources were estimated at 100000
100000 barrels and the United
States at 100000 100000 barrels.
Mr.. Pratt estimated present proven
reserves in the Middle East at nearly
2700O 100000 barrels, or 40 per cent
of the world supply, against 80 per
cent for the United States and per
cent for Russia

Party Caucus Picks
Committee 10 Keep

Steps to keep party precinct heads

ing" committee authorized to re-
move precinct chairmen and vice
chairmen who deviate from the
choice of the county congress were
taken at a caucus last night OF

They are charged with the duty
of replacing any precinct chairman
or vice chairman in the Eastern
Suburban District and Colesville
who, in their opinion, may fail to
vigorously lead in their respective
precincts the campaign in support
of all of the candidates whom we
have SO indorsed."
At the same time the delegates

Offices.
Candidates Endorsed.
All of the candidates previously
indorsed March 26 at a similar pre-
convention caucus in Rockville were
supported by the suburban dele
gates. In addition Charles w
Jameson, Dickerson, was indorsed
for the Board of County Commits
sioners and Frank Davis, Pooles-
vile. for sheriff. No formal nomi-
nations for these two Offices were
made in the Rockville caucus. Mr.
Jameson announced his candidacy
from the second election district
today.
