Returning from the Navy in Sep

He needed an automobile, took
mo look at current prices, and
settled for a battered Model A,
sriced at $85. It needed some re-
n.irs but this was right down his
sslIev. OF course, all the parts in

some instances they are an i'm

There were indications the court
phase Of President Truman's finish
fight with Mr.. Lewis might drag on
all this week.
Justice Department attorneys said
their prosecution of Mr.. Lewis and
the union on the contempt charge
might be concluded by. "wednesday.
The defense was expected to call
witnesses, including possibly Mr..
Lewis, although it showed little In
cIination to discuss strategy.
Numerous public figures, both in
and out of the Government, dis
cussed the coal crisis over the week
end.
AFL President William Green
pinned responsibility for the coal
crisis ON Secretary Krug, who, he
said, obviously relied on the theory
that the agreement (Krug-Lewis)
was not contract, but an execu-

Krug is inexperienced in collective

A campaign for usable clothing

millions abroad "who face the
prospect of another cold and bleak
winter of overexposure and death"
was opened yesterday when a letter
from the Most Rev. Michael J. Cur
ley, Archbishop of Baltimore and

The drive, which ends next SUM-

War Relief Services OF the National
Catholic Welfare Conference. Four
million pounds of clothing are
sought from the Nationwide drive
to be distributed by Catholic agen-
cies abroad. All Catholic churches
are serving as collection centers.

" Of the Smith Connally Act.
The Judge said he understood the
unions position to be that such
changes were made under Article

Agreement-which the Government
contends was cancelled by the Krug-
Lewis Contract.
No Fund Trustees Named.
Capt. COLLISION said at one point
In his testimony, that Rear Admiral
James Boyle, USN, retired, had
been suggested as the public member
Of the three-man board to admin
lister the miners Welfare and Re-
tirement Fund provided for in the
Government contract with Mr..
Lewis.
But, he said the suggestion was
not accepted and the union had not
selected q trustee. The fund, raised
by a Sc per ton tax paid by coal
operators on all coal mined, ag-
gregated SO, ,1000 900 on November
20. It has not been put to use, the
witness said.
Among other things, Capt. Collis-
son said total of $685. 900 in fines
had been collected from the mine
workers because of unauthorized
strikes up to November %. Fines Of
81 and 50 may be assessed against
miners for engaging in so-called
wildcat" walkouts.
One Firm Refuses to Pay.
Capt. Collision revealed, under
cross-examination, that at least one
large coal company had refused to
pay the scent per ton royalty into
the miners welfare fund.
The Carter Coal Co., Welch, w.
Va, refused to 60 along with the
Government on the welfare fund.
Capt. COLLISION added no action was
taken to force payment.
Mr.. Sonnett used words of the
UMW,s own counsel In an attempt
to show the Governments author
ity over the mines was supreme and
that this had been admitted by the
uinon since Federal seizure last
May.
Unions Brief Quoted.

Suggestions were:
!. Do not allow room temperatures

8. Use wood burning fireplaces to
supplement normal units.
4. Keep window shades. drawn at

Do not use electric heaters.
