Ruhr Miners ut,Work
After Food Strike
By the Associoted Press

ESSEN, Germany, April 5.-Many
Ruhr coal miners who struck
Thursday to protest food shortages
went back to work today. :
British and German coal control
officials said very high proper
ton" of the miners on the first shift
were back on the job.
Some 100000 miners had walked
out despite warnings from British
authorities that their action might
result in less-not fnore-food for
their families. The strike was
scheduled to last "a hours.
The majority of the shutdoWs
mines remained closed yesterday be-
cause of Good Friday.

nary draft of an overall labor bill
contained no ban on Nationwide
bargaining such as practiced in the
coal industry, but would term it an
unfair labor practice for a national
union to dictate contract terms to
local union.
The plan for dealing with ma
tional paralysis strikes provides
for the following steps when col
lective bargaining and mediation
fail to bring contract agreement:
/. The Government could obtain
a temporary injunction to avert the
strike.
2. The disputing parties would
be required to renew and continue
mediation efforts while the injunc-
ton was in effect.
3. If no settlement was reached,
the President could declare an
emergency and call on Congress
at a special session If necessary
to deal with the situation.
4. Any action Congress might take
would apply only to the particular
emergency at hand. It could pass
a bill authorizing Government seiz-
ure or handle the case in any other
way 1t saw Al.
Would Outlaw Closed Shop.
The committee staff version would
outlaw the closed shop, but permit
the union shop and maintenance of
membership provisions in union
contracts. Under a union shop, a
worker must join the union within
specified period to keep his job.
One member said there is mo
chance" the committee will approve
ban on closed shop agreements
under which a worker must join a
union to get job. He sad the draft
will be revised to include proposal
that closed shops be permitted when
two-tkirds of workers voting ap-
prove, provided the two-thirds ma
jority exceeds so per cent OF the
entire working force.
Some UNIV leaders called for
caution in agreeing with mine
operators in certification Of mine
safety but the Interior Department
said pits could be reopened-regard-
less of the unions attitude-if Sec
retary Krug so ordered after receiv-
ing reports of a Federal reinspec-
ton.
The alternative method calls for
operators and union safety COM
mitsees to declare the. mines safe
and for the Navy to issue its GER
tification Of safety.
In Pennsylvania. second largest
producing State, only nine Of 1853
mines closed for safety reasons were
ready to reopen Monday. Richard

however, declared State inspection

Operators of % Of Alabama's IS

The veteran said Wynona had asked
him to come to Washington to talk
about "a big secret" but never ex-

Described as in a nervous condi-
tion," Everett Buck, brother of
Theodore, was admitted to Mount
Alto Veterans Hospital today for
a rest and diagnosis. The young
veteran was not permitted to see
visitors. 1t was said at the hospital
he probably will be discharged to-

body Thursday afternoon, lying face
down in few inches Of water In
Rocky Run beneath a 20-f9ot bridge
about half way between Rosslyr
and the Virginia end of Memorial
Bridge.
DR.. Welburn believed the body
had been there about three days
There were no marks Of violence
and the coroner's opinion that
death was due to drowning Is tenta-
tive and will not be made official
until a laboratory report can be
obtained from blood samples and
the contents OF the girls stomach.
This evidence was turned over
yesterday to DR.. Broyfogle.
A pathologist who helped Dr.. Wei

ably was due to drowning.

FRANK r. HOWARD,
Executive Secretary"
Henry Envisions Strategy.

Ernest F. Henry, former exec
utive director of the Home Builders
Association of Metropolitan Wash
ington, said the strategy" of the
unions apepars to be to single out
builders one at time and through
use Of the secondary boycott at
tempt to drive them into meeting
the union demands"
This is a very effective means
OF denying the builder the means
of production. even though the
builde. has no labor dispute" he
said.
He said unions probably will
chiefly rely on unionized truck
drivers of materials supply dealers
to enforce the asserted boycott.
Construction trades unions, he
said. ARE worried over competition
between union-shop and open-shop
builders for the available labor.
They don't want anyone in the
open shop field to pay more than
the union SCALE" he declared.
Sees Business Hurt.
This campaign will hurt Wash
ington business tremendously, and
probably means that the builder
will haIc ) pay more for materials
which he probably will be forced to
purchase out of town.
''It is also a demonstration of
the lack of good faith on the part
Of unions in asking Congress not
to pass legislation banning the Sec
cndary boycott. for we have here
the spectacle Of union organizations
practicing it on a local level, right
in the Nations Capital in a field
which is OF. the utmost national i'm
portance-tnat is, housing for vet
erans and others who need it-and
at the same time denying to Con-
gress and the public that there is
any problem arising from this type
Of union practice, or any need to
curb 1t.
The ink is hardly dry on the
agreement between the construction
industry and national AFL leaders,
which was announced recently from
the White House, pledging construc-
tion labor not to strike through a
secondary boycott or otherwise.
yet here they are, using all
their might in case without right
because there is no dispute-in an
effort to force the closed shop on
the home building industry"
Outlines Unions Side.
Giving the union side, Mr.. Howard
said the building trades council had
named Cd a committee t about Ism Is months q.
"see whether our people could not
be utilized in the home building
field
