 Others Next Week

WASHINGTON, June 28-R- Labor Department officials said to- day Secretary Schwellenbach will try next week to bring John l.. Lewis and the soft coal operators together and head off a full-scale National strike July 8.
 Secretary of the Interior Krug estimated that after Sunday there will be only 48,O00,000 tons of coal in storage above ground, or a 32- day supply
 As the last miners filed out of the pits early today for l0-day vacation, Krug prepared to give the mines back to the owners when Federal authority to run them ex- pires at midnight Monday.
 The vacation was provided for in the Government contract signed by Lewis and Krug to end the strike 13 months ago. That con- tract runs out along with Federal operation of the properties.
 The miners vacation-shared al so by the 75,000 Pennsylvania an- thracite workers-may develop into an indefinite holiday if no agree ment is reached in the next 10 days.
 Labor officials expressed the te- lief there is still a chance that 9. contract can be obtained before the deadline.
 Krug told reporters ,trike would afford an opportunity to see what, if anything, the Taft Hartley Act can accomplish.
 The new law r ovides for an iil- junction against a National emer- gency strike, but Ksug asked 1T the miners simply stay home July 8 in- stead of reporting to work without a contract whom can you en- join?"
 Asked how long the country could stand a coal strike, Krug re- piled:
 How long can you stand on your head? It's a question of how long you have to-
 Krug said Lewis had turned down the Northern and Western operators offer to give him almost all the terms of the expiring Fed eral contract, plus substantial wage increase.

The commissioners today tight
ened the Districts alcoholic beverage
regulations to prevent consumption
of drinks in taverns by minors, even

board meeting, grew out of a ruling
by Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West last August that no violation
OF existing regulations occurred when
parents ordered liquor, beer, or wine
and then permitted accompanying
minors to drink 1t.
A stringent amendment approved
today makes the youthful drinker
and the person ordering for him,
liable to prosecution along with the
proprietor of the establishment.

recommended by the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board following Mr..
Vests ruling.
