Arthur has ben a source OF con-
flict not only with Russia but to a
lesser extent with Britain, Canada,
Australia and other countries.
In suggesting four-power control
the United States may be trying to
meet some of these criticisms. There
has been some suspicion here that
the Russians, who have done much
talking about Japan, may have been
genuinely concerned over the way
things are going there and that
once a different system is envisaged
they may be more inclined to play
ball in other areas.

Washington, D. C.-Direct negotia-
tions between representatives Of the
United Mines Workers Union and the
soft coal operators were resumed here
after 19-day lapse at the request of
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach.
Former Assistant Secretary of La
Dor Edward F. McGrady was appoint
ed a special federal mediator in an
attempt to work out early settlement
of the nationwide mine shutdown.
Although no concrete progress"
was reported after the first confer
ence, it was said that the participants
showed an encouragingly cooperative
attitude.
John l.. Lewis, UNIV president, is
insisting that the coal operators en-
ter into satisfactory agreement on
safeguarding the health and safety
Of the coal miners before discussing
other controversial points such as
wage increases and hours of work.
GdIHeI, dG I1dZelIOIi, d., nI. LEWIS
warned that shutdown of the nation s
anthracite mines will take place at
the expiration of the existing con-
tract May 81, unless a new agreement
is reached
About 400 delegates to the Penn
sylvania Tri-District Scale Conven-
tion heard Mr.. Lewis blame the stub
borness fthe United States Steel
Corp. for the shutdown of the soft
coal mines.
Flourishing copy of the corpora
tion's 1945 financial report, Mr.. Lewis
emphasized that it had charged off
$123,000,000 last year for wear and
tear on plant facilities.
"This mammoth corporation" said
Mr.. Lewis, "is holding the line against
an agreement covering the safety and
human welfare of the miners.
"We're going to see if U. S. Steel
has any more right to write off mil
lions in depreciation for wear and ex-
haustion of plant facilities than the
miners have to write off expenditures
for the exhaustion of human facili-
ties"

Beat Wage Freeze

Memphis, Tenn. (ILNS) An agri-
cultural wage freeze for the South,
favored by cotton planters, has been
defeated. Planters sought to use the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture to
effect the freeze, but were met with
strong opposition from the National
Farm Labor Union, assisted by the
Workers Defense League. A $2-a-day
wage ceiling for cotton shoppers, fav-
ored 7-to-1 by the planters, has been
overruled by the USDA's Mississippi
wage board.

Coal Negotiations Are Resumed;
Anthracite Shutdown Threatened
Lewis Urges Safeguarding of Health and Safety of Miners
Before Discussing Points of Wages and Hours

The union leader said the hard coal
miners demands would be about the
same as in the bituminous field, but
he did not outline any specific pro-
gram. 1t is expected that he will in
sist on health and safety provisions
as well as wage increases.
He said the union is willing to meet
the operators "half way" in the ne
gotiations, but he did not predict any
easy acquiescence from the industry.
Contract improvements in the past,
he recalled, were won "only when
they were tortured out Of the opera
tors after long months of negotia-
tions."
Meanwhile, industry throughout the
nation began to feel the pinch of the
coal shortage and pressure increased
for prompt settlement of the mine
disputes. This was considered an i'm
portant and hopeful sign because it
was believed that only pressure from
other industries would compel the
stubborn coal operators to talk bust
ness with the union on reasonable
terms
