BY the kssceioted Press

bach said today he would call
John L. Lewis and the soft coal
operators back into joint nego-
tiations early next week.
The Secretary told newsmen the
situation arising from the 26-day-
old bituminous coal strike was be-
coming so critical that a resumption

discussion of a new contract.
The Secretary said he had asked
Ezra Van Horn, chairman of the
operators Negotiating Committee,
to have the operators back in WASH
ington early next week to sit down
with Mr.. Lewis again.

With Bevin Before Stort
OF Second Days PorIey
BY the Associofed Press

PARIS, April 26.-The Big
Foul Foreign Ministers met again
this afternoon to seek agree
ments on European peace trea-
ties amid reports that Russia
would block any American effort
to obtain discussion of the Aus
trian situation.
An American informant confirmed
that the Russians yesterday opposed
placing Austria on the agenda. The
Russians, however, raised no objec-
.tion to discussion of French de-
mands for detachment of the Ruhr
and Rhineland from Germany, this
source said.
Secretary of State Byrnes con-
ferred with British Foreign Seq
retary Ernest Bevin for moue than
an hour before the second day OF
the negotiations started.
A source in conference circles said
the Russians told the foreign min
listers of the United States, Great
Britain and France yesterday that
they realized the seriousness of the
Austrian situation and felt it needed
careful study before being discussed
and that they did not believe such
study could be completed, in time
for discussion at the present con-
ference.
Reparations to Come Up.
It was understood that the gen.
eral reparations question for Euro
pean countries other than Germany
would be taken up as the first point
on the agenda,
Both Mr.. Bevin and Mr.. Byrnes
refused comment as they emerged
from their conference in the Amer
lean Hotel to attend luncheon
given for the Foreign Ministers by
French President Felix Gouin.
The British Foreign Secretary was
accompanied only by his private
secretary during the session with
Mr. Byrnes, who was accompanied
by Benjamin " Cohen, State De-
partment counselor, and H. Freeman
Matthews, chief of the State De-
partments European division.
Twenty minutes before the con-
ference ended, Jefferson Caffery,
American Ambassador to France,
was called in.

Stor S'off Correspondent

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April
26.-Abram Flaxer, the head of
the newly created United Public
Workers of America, CIO, today
flung a challenge at the national
leadership of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, declaring his
union will seek to bring AFL
public employees unions into the
new organization.
In a bitter attack on William
Green, AFL president. who yester-
day charged that UPWA was dom
mated by Communists" Mr.. Flaxer
declared: "Mr. Green and the AEI
are continuing their batting
tactics in company with Rankin
Bilbo and others of their ilk."
Mr.. Flaxer said an invitation will
be extended to the American FEEDER
alton of State, County and Munich
pal Employees, before whom Mr.
Green made his charges yesterday
to join the CIO fold.
I'VE have reason to believe that
they will accept" Mr.. Flaxer de-
clared. They are sick and tired OF
the do-nothing, reactionary policies
of Bill Green and the AFL."
Says Green Is Afraid.
Referring to UPWA's 10000 mem
bership as result of the merger OF
the CIO United Federal Workers
and the State, County and Munich
pal Workers. Mr.. Flaxer asserted
Bill Green knows We are powerful
and he's afraid. That's why he spoke
that way yesterday"
The charge that UPWA's officials
were either Communists or affiliated
with Reds was not specifically
answered by Mr. Flaxer. He tole
reporters later that "the charge was
typical AFL scare propaganda"
Mr.. Flaxer, however, lashed at the
AFL leader for declaring thai
UPWA's officials lowed their al.
legiance to another government,
an obvious reference to Russia
That is an utter falsehood," Mr.
Flaxer said 1--WE are more of ar
American outfit than the AFL."
Meanwhile a handful of delegate!
held a rump session this morning
in protest against what they termed
was the Communist line adopted
by UPWA in its foreign policy reso.
luton. The document criticized
American and British policy toware
Russia but contained no criticism
of the Soviets.

However, the insurgent movement

Mr.. Flaxler, who will be officially

Head Of Farm Bureau
Urqes Middle Ground
On Changes in 0PA
O'NeoI Declares House
Went Too Far in Lifting
Price Controls
By J. A. Oleory

Asserting the House went too
far in lifting price controls, Ed
ward A. O'Neal, head of the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, today urged the Senate to
find middle ground correcting
OPA mistakes and at the same
time provide reasonable safe
guards against imitation.
Mr.. ONeal spoke against House
amendments to require the cost OF
production plus reasonable profit
on each product, and the formula
for dropping price controls when
ever an item reaches the level ot
l941 production, or, in the case OF
farm products, when the volume o1
domestic consumption is reached.
The Farm Bureau Federation re.
mained adamant, however, in it:
opposition to the administra ton {
consumer food subsidies, which the
House took steps to curtail. The
farm bureau also Endorsed the ter.
mination of OPA in June, l947.
Adjusted Ceilings Urged.
Mr.. O'Neal said the House cost
plus-profit pricing amendment is a
radical departure from the prin-
ciple of maintaining parity between
agriculture and other commodities
1t would be difficult to enforce
require much checking and lead to
hopeless pickering between industry
and the Government, Mr.. O'Neal
said. He urged, instead, thar COM
modify price ceilings be adjusted
whenever necessary to Offset in
creased costs of any kind
In renewing his attack on con.
sumer subsidies, Mr. O'Neal said the
farmers will not support the con-
tinuation of price control" unless
such subsidies are done away with
by December 30.
Mounting Payments Cited.
Pointing out that subsidy pay.
ments have mounted from S955 ,0OO,.
600 in 1914 to an estimated S2,051..
100000 for the next fiscal year, Mr.
O'Neal predicted supply will be
very slow to come into balance with
demand as long as prices are main
tanned artiflcially low by paying part
of the consumers bill from the
Federal Treasury
The committee was warned by a
CIO official yesterday that labor will
have to make new wage demands il
the House curtailment of price con-
troll stands.
James B. Carey, CIO secretary
told the Senators that labor anc
management entered into new pay
contracts in recent months with
price controls in effect. If those
controls are removed and the cos
of living goes higher, Mr.. Carey
said, those agreements will have tt
be thrown out the window and 6
