ULTlMATUM ISSUED TO R.R. STRIKERS
The w ashingto ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-John L. Lewis had confidential conference with Labor Secretary L. B. Schwellen- bach on Monday at which he gave definite assurance that his miners would stay on the job if the Gov ernment took over the mines.
 Here is what happened at the ultra-secret meeting.
 Schwellenbach informed Lewis that Truman had decided to seize the mines and asked him if the miners would stay on the job when the truce ended. Lewis replied that he would cooperate in keeping the mines in operation adding, however, that he would first have to advise with his policy committee, a very perfunctory measure.
 Lewis then inquired if the Gov ernment would begin negotiation of a new contract with the mine once the mines were seized. He was assured by the Secretary of Labor that negotiations would be- gin as soon as Government ad- ministrator or coordinator was chosen by President Truman and Interior Secretary Krug. Hearings would be conducted on the propos- ed health and welfare fund, in- creased wages and other disputed matters Lewis was told.
 Schwellenbach also assured the bushy-browed miners boss that any increase decided on would be retroactive to May IS, though the miners returned to work under Lewis truce order. i.

GLIB OVER LEWIS

If President Truman really nau wanted to beat John l.. Lewis to the punch, he could have scared him to death by resurrecting the St. Lawrence Seaway previously urged by both Roosevelt and Her bert Hoover, but which has been gathering dust in the Senate for months.
 There is nothing that worried John L. Lewis more than cheap electric power-unless it be cheap natural gas. And Truman also has neglected one other club he could brandish over John L. Lewis namely, the two Governmental owned pipe lines from Texas to the East Coast which Texas natural gas op- orators want to take over.
 With the threat of cheap natural gas piped into industrial Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey, and cheap electric power feeding the factories of New York state and New Eng land, John L. Lewis might have started singing less belligerent tune.
 The 12-year fight over the St. Lawrence Seaway is the greatest monument to effective lobbying ever seen in Washington. In part also it is monument to Congress sional inertia, Both Republican and Democratic leaders have urged the construction of the waterway, by- passing the St. Lawrence River rapids and giving ocean-going ves- sells access to Duluth, Detroit and Chicago.
 For long time Senator Overton of Louisiana, who wants Great Lakes traffic to flow through New Orleans, blocked the St. Lawrence Seaway. More recently a Senate Foreign Relations Sub- -Compittee reported favorably on the seaway but the absence of Senator Wal lace White, a Maine Republican, blocked a vote.
 Meanwhile, Dutch and Norwegian steamship lines are getting the jump on American shipping by putting small vessels into trans Atlantic service which can operate directly between Europe and Chi cago. These boats will be shallow enough to navigate the St. Law renee without seaway, while large American vessels will be out of luck.
 Meanwhile also, New England and New York industry operates at the pleasure of the bushy -browed gentleman who heads the United Mine Workers of America.

 Keep in Parents
 Intimocy-Heirens

Chicago, Sept. 6. (UP)-William Heirens, IT, speaking from the bit ter experience that will imprison him for life for three brutal mur- ders, sent this message today to other youths:
 "Conf1de in your parents or those close to you"
 Heirens, sentenced to three terms of live imprisonment for three mrrr- ders, said in an interview that he never learned to conf1de in his own parents.
 T never had the opportunity to be close to my parents" he said. T was sent away to boarding schools when I got in trouble I was always away from home when I needed their confidence"
 He said he believed he could have avoided trouble if he had been al lowed to stay at home. He believed he would have learned to conf1de in his mother and father, and to "thresh things out"
 q don't blame my parents" he said. They are two of the most wonderful people in the world. And I want to thank them and the friends who stuck by me"
 AS he spoke, extra guards watched every move he made to prevent him from trying to end his life again before he goes to the prison.
