Labor Leaders
Plan Conference
On Coal Strike
tRy A.seelated Press,

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Ths
soft-coal strike of the United
Mine Workers of America enter.
ed its 37th day today, and late
this afternoon John l.. Lewis
president of the union, and his
200 members of the policy com.
mittee will hold meeting to de-
termine what will be the next
move in the controversy.
William Green, president Of
the American Federation OF
Labor, which includes the mine
workers, assured Lewis today
that the federation is giving its
full support to the union in its
demand for welfare work among
the miners.
1t has been that provision
which Lewis has insisted on
settling before taking up the
matter of wages, that has kept
the strike going till now with
out the settlement of any of the
issues.
Green insisted, in his message
of assurance of support to
Lewis, that the welfare feature
of the demand is something that
should have been in effect many
years ago because of the miners
precarious work.
Senator Lucas declared today
that he was going to introduce
bill to make it a criminal
offenSe to call a strike on any
industry that threatens the well
being of the nation, as does the
coal strike. Another senator,
whose name was not revealed,
on commenting on Lucas state
ment, asserted that this was no
time for an emotional bender
of that type. He added that
everybody, in the official life in
Washington, should direct every
effort in trying to hit on some
plan whereby the strike could
be settled.
Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach had conference this morn
ing with President Truman about
4ha cr,ff cnol ctrika HIT the re-
suits of the conference was not
rexealeae 1T was said that the
government is averse to taking
over the mines without the as
surance that the men would re-
turn to work.
The strikers number 100000,
and in the event that the gov
eminent takes over the. mines,
they would be directed by Sec
rotary of the Interior Krug.

Material Shortage Stymies
Building Boom In d Keys Area

Commenting on the building
activity on the lower and upper
Florida Keys, reported in The
Citizen last Thursday, j. Frank
Roberts, chief clerk in the county
assessors office, said today:
Improvements now going on
in the lower and upper chain of
keys are small to what they will
be when building materials are
available to everybody who wish
es to get them. On key after key,
Mr. Gandolfo and |, during our
.cheek-up, met persons who told
US they were going to build just
as soon as materials are avail
able.
/ e'"The keys are fast coming into
their own. Just as soon as re-
strictions are taken off building
materials, a construction boom
is going TO begin on many of the
keys, not only in building fishing
lodges and cottages and Qbins
but also hotels and other types of
construction, The keys have been
discovered by a sufficiently large
number of moneyed people to
assure us developments that will
add UNNECESSARILY to the inter
ests of Monroe county as a whole
Most of the visitors on the
Keys during the winter season
came in automobiles, but many
visitors came also in their yachts
and cabin cruisers, that is, they
came down as far as No Name
Key where the inland waterway
ends. AS late as last week, among
the boats at No Name Key was a
cabin cruiser that we were told
cost $27, 200. The season was con-
Sidered over then, and we were
told that when the season was at
its height many such boats were
in the waters of the Florida
Keys"

soc O0b DEMOCRATS AT
RyELS IN FLORIDA;
INTEREST Is HIGH IN
KEY WEST RACES

Judging by the almost contin-
uous stream of volars at the five
precincts from the time the polls
opened at 8 o'clock this morning
till mid-afternoon, it appeared
that an exceptionally large per-
centage of the qualified vote in
Key West will have been cast by
the time the polls close at g
o'clock tonight.
Interest was general in the
election throughout the city.
AS usual, candidates had workers
at the polls handing out cards.
while other workers made the
rounds of the town to help get
out the vote. However. most OF
those who voted went to the
polls, unaccompanied by work
ers.
Two local contests, with three
candidates in one and four in
the other, possibly may carry
over to the second primary. but
at every poll, visited by Citizen
men, it was freely predicted, in
discussing one of the contests,
that a certain candidate probably
would be successful in the first
primary.
While that statement was
nothing more than a conjecture.
yet it was viewed as a sort of
pulse feeler" of the sentiment
IF the public.
But, regardless of what can
lidates may find themselves IN
the second primary. of one thing
there is certainty ioday--the
people of Key West have demon
itrated that they were far more
interested in the election than
had appeared on the surface.
