drastic government order froze
the Nations meager soft coal sup
plies and placed them under
rationing today as John L, Lewis
stonily stood pat on the challenge
which threatens a strike at mid
night Wednesday.
Going far beyond the freeze

bituminous strike last spring, the
government seized control not only
of future coal production but also
of all stocks now in transit and
in dealers yards. 1t will be doled

plants and hou ;eholders having

Issuance of these orders in an
essential precaution in view OF
the unwillingness of the president
OF the United Mine workers to
accede with the Presidents re-
quest to reconsider the govern
ment's proposal looking toward
a settlement of the coal contro-
versy." Secretary of the Interior
Krug told the worried public in
a statement.
As the government thus prepar-
ed for the worst, Lewis ignored
the administrators second appeal
for a 60-day truce and its pointed
warning that he has no legal
grounds for terminating the
miners present contract.
Members of the operators ne
gotiating committee, who had
agreed to the administration pro-
posal for negotiations with Lewis
over his new wage demands, took
Lewis refusal at its face and
scattered to their homes.
And the impass continued with
out signs of a break. A high gov

that the administration has not
decided what furthur steps to take.

FURTHER SPLIT
IS RECOGNIZED
Murray Discloses Group
Working For Harmony
With Organization

I ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. II.
-(P)-The CIO, acting on an as
sumption that big business has
declared war; on it, was making
a determined effort today to get
its own house in order.
Existence of a division between
the CLOS fright wing and ''left
wing" was recognized more bluntly
than ever before by the C1O leader
ship as they prepared for the CIO
convention which opens Monday.
President Philip Murray, regard
ed as virtually certain to accept
reelection, acknowledged today in
a brief news conference the ex-
istence of a special CIO committee
which is working on harmony.
Other leaders have disclosed that
it has six members, equally divided
between the right and left wings.
1t was learned that Murray told
the executive board yesterday in
emphatic terms that CIO unions
will meet strong resistance this
winter in their fight for second
postwar round of wage Increases.
Other present at the meeting said
Murray referred specifically to re-
cent utterances of Alfred P. Sloan,
board chairman of General Motors
and that Murray interpreted such
utterances as declaration Of
war"
Sloan's most recent speech was
November 13 in Chicago when he
told the 26th annual American petro-
leum institute convention that:
collective bargaining must be
permitted to follow the full course
without interference from any
outside influence and irrespective
of the economic consequences OF
the contending parties.

In New York Talks
URGENT DEMAND
Commons Debate On Rebel

uled For Monday

LONDON. Nov. 16. - C-D -
uoreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
bos delnanded-and will get-a
rote I of confidence Monday when
Commons debates a rebel labor
amendment providing for a recast
bf British foreign policy, reliable
sources said today.
The vote of confidence is ex-
nected to give Bevin an overwhelm-
ing majority to support him in his
New York discussions at thes-Big
Four Council of Foreign Ministers
and the United Nations General
Assembly.
Some political observers believe
also it may disintegrate the 3D.
mon rebel labor bloc before the
time of voting comes, for none OF
the dissidents would willingly vote
against the Labor government with
which they were swept into power
more than a year ago.
Revin's urgent demand for vote
of confidence was made in a tele-
nhone conversation from New York
with Prime Minister Clement Att
lee in London.
As a result, the government now
will turn the protest OF the back
bench labor rebels back upon
themselves by forcing them to re-
pudiate their segmental protest OF
foreign policy or vote against the
labor government as whole.
The fact that the "a back bencf
rebels will be in the limelight wher
the vote comes also will tend te
prevent them from disappearing
into the lobbies just before the vote
comes.
The conservatives must decide
either to vote for the government
to show the world that Britain Is
united in foreign affairs or tt
abstain on grounds that the rift i!
purely an interlabor fight. Th'
first alternative appeared more
likely.
