Railway Act Mentioned.
Before the new. Republican action,
the plan of the White House was
said to call for the President to
point out the problems that should
be dealt with in current labor-man-
agement relationships. Only few
specific suggestions, however, as to
how strikes should be lessened and
economic relationships improved will
be made.
White House plans for dealing
with major labor disputes are said
to follow the theory of the Railway
Labor Act which calls for investiga-
ton and publication of facts behind
disputes and for a waiting period
while the investigations are going
forward.
Some form of executive power to
be used only in emergency, it was
pointed out, is needed more than
ever now that the Smith Connally
Act has been knocked out with the
declaration of the end of hostilities.
1t is understood also that there
will be suggestions for strengthen
ing the facilities of the Labor De-
partment's Cancellation Service for
dealing with disputes.
Ban on Boycotts Sought.
The administrations labor pro-
gram, it was said, will seek a ban
on secondary boycotts, whereby an
employer not involved in a dispute
is prevented from handling goods of
an employer who is. The Repub-
licans also propose to bar such boy
colts.
Meanwhile, William Green, presi-
dent of the AFL, called on manage
ment to join with labor in strength
enirg collective bargaining, which he
said was the only way to avert COM
pulsion in labor disputes and IAN
economy controlled by the Govern
ment."
Mr.. Green, writing in the Ameri-
can Federationist, also called on
management to supply responsible
unions with the facts and records
which constitute proper basis for
collective bargaining" The ap-
proach was similar to that advo-
Gated by United Automobile Work
ers and other CIO unions.
Mr.. Green said proposals for
legislation to bring about COM
pulsory settlement of labor dis
putes threatened the Nations de-
mocracy. He contended that any
law that called for compulsory arbi-
tration would adversely effect the
rights Of management as well as
labor.
Opposes Political Intervention.
political intervention kills collec-
tive bargaining and slows down
progress for labor" he said OF
various labor-curbing devices sug-
gested in Congress.
| Ideas for improving labor-man-
agement relations also will be in
corporated in Mr.. Truman's eco
nomic message to Congress, to be
submitted later in the week. These
proposals come from the Council of

Demonstrations
BY The Associated Press

NANKING, Jan. 4.-The Chinese
government ordered halt today to
amy demonstrations affecting Chi
se-American relations and moved
to squelch anyone insulting an
American in China.
Acting after anti-American stu
dent demonstrations this week in
Marking, Peiping. Tientsin and
Shanghai, the Executive Yuan {cab-
met told the Ministry of Education
and provincial and municipal gov
ernments to prevent any more such
activities.
Even before the order went out,
several hundred Marking University
students had demanded an end to
the demonstrations and praised the
United States as presently the only
good friend of China" The demon
strations already have subsided.
An Executive Yuan announcement
said American authorities in Peiping
were holding for possible court mar
tial action a United States Marine
charged with criminally attacking a
Chinese girl-the incident which os-
tensibly set off the turbulent
parades. The marine denied the
charge.
The Government said that while
the marine concerned should be pun
ished if found guilty, the incident
should not be allowed to prejudice
Americans in China or relations
with the United States.
It ordered the provincial and
municipal governments to make GER
tain that Americans were not in
suited nor their property damaged
by demonstrators.
Communists Accused.
The Nanking students, without
mentioning the party specifically
accused the Communists of foment-
| ing the demonstrations.
These students formed an "anti-
demonstration association" and is
sued a statement charging that the
demonstrators who demanded with
drawal Of American forces from
China had been used as catspaws
by "a certain political party"
The Chinese Communists and
members of the minority Democratic
League long have demanded the re-
tirement of United States marines
from China.
The American students passed
out handbills on the streets, saying

Many Miners Die In Britain Coal Mine Explosion

ANNFIELD PLAIN, Eng. (P)- Nineteen Durham coal miners per ished in an explosion in the Mor- rison North mine here Saturday. All the burned and mutilated bod ies were brought to the surface.
 It was the second mining disas- tre to hit coal-short England with in a week. Only five men sur vived the blast, and they suffered multiple injuries.
 William Welch, national coal area manager, said undertakerS and relatives were experiencing difficulty identifying the victims. William Younger, who was work ing in another section of the mine, gave this description of the blast:
 There was no noise but we felt a blast of hot air rush past us. We went in. Dust was flying through from the seam to the bottom.
 AS we entered the explosion area we came upon three men, two alive, one dead. We raised the alarm and started to get the men out. Eventually we got 10 men out to a place where there was some air. Five were alive"

Forest Service Will Call For Oral Bids On Timber Oct. l


 proceed through the Cook Inlet to a new railway terminal at Fire Is- land, off Anchorage. A railroad causeway will link Fire Island with Anchorage and the main line to Fairbanks.
 This will reduce the cost of sea transportation from Seattle by eliminatingsthe need to unload car goes at Seward" Silverman said. High water transpor { i n charges still remain a major bar rier toward rapid development of the Territory"
 Heintzelman told a reporter that the 800, 100000 cubic feet of pulp timber up for auction Oct. will support neWsprint plant produc- tion of 500 tons a day for 50 years. It's sale would be the first concrete step toward development of an Alaskan pulpwood industry, ne said. Krug has estimated that Alaska's forests could supply in perpetuity up to 25 per cent Of the U. s. neWsprint.
 The initial offering is in the area of Thomas Bay and Peters burg, in the Tongass National For est. The project would involve construction of pulp mill, power plant and a town of more than 2,000-one of the largest in Alaska -16 miles east of Petersburg.
 The lowest acceptable bid, ! HeintZelman said, is 85 cents per i 100 cubic feet, for timber intended for pulp manufacture before July 1, 1860. Bidder must agree to pay these fixed rates until that date for material to be manufactured for sale or sold in other forms than pulp or its products:
 S3 per 1000 board feet for spruce saWlogs; S1.50 for cedar; S2 for saWlogs of hemlock and other species, and from 1 to Is cents per linear foot for piling or poles.
 The rates are subject to read | justment in 1860 and at fiVe-year intervals thereafter, to m e { changes in market conditions. Heintzelman estimated that the successful bidder will have to spend from $300,0O0 to $50O,0OO in the first year for plans and sur veys alone. Production probably could begin in 1850.
 Congress made the auction pos sible in the dying hours of it's re- cent session by adopting joint res olution POS authorizing the secre- tary of agriculture to sell Tongass Timber and to hold receipts in a special account pending determin- ation of the rights of Alaska Indi- ans in the forest. Alaska natives claim most of the Tongass area by virtue of use and occupancy since aboriginal times.
 The area offered for bidding embraces 100000 acres of con- mercial timber out of an estimated 5,000,000 to 6,0O0,000 acres in the Tongass forest. The forest service has tentatively surveyed two other areas near Ketchikan, two near Juneau and one near Sitka for s m liar pulp-industry develop ment.

Co-ordinuted Research

The directive defining responsibilities
and authority of the National Defense
establishments new Research and DeVel-
opment Board provides assurance OF oetter
coordination of basic military research
than has prevailed in the past. The nope
of Defense Secretary Forrestal is to pre-
serve the pioneering spirit within the
armed services while eliminating overlap
ping and duplication of activities.
In ordering the board, of which DR..
Vanneyar Bush is chairman, to submit
master plan at least once year, Secretary
Forrestal has made it plain he is seeking 10
fit naval. Army and aviation research and
DEVELOPMENT programs into an overall
pattern. In this way, by mutual agree
ment. the three major defense branches
will be kept fully informed of what each
department is doing in the field OF teen
nological warfare. Each will benefit from
the findings of the other through an inter-
change not only of ideas but of experts
and materials, If desirable.
Since the board is made up of two rep
resentatives from each of the armed serV-
ices under the craftsmanship OF Dr. Bush,
disputes as to Jurisdiction will be resolved
at TOP level. Thus the tug of war which
is reported to have taken place between
the ordnance branch of the Army and the
Air Force over control of guided missile
research would be decided by the board In
the role of mediator. The board will have
final authority to allocate responsibility in
such q contest. Similarly, researches by
the Navy and the Air Force In the develop
ment of new planes and weapons can be
organized along more efficient and pro-
ductive lines
This does not mean that creation of the
board will discourage friendly competition
or destroy the initiative of forward-looking
officers in the three branches. Enthusiasm
born of constructive rivalry has played
large part in the advances which have been
made in the past. There is no reason why
this pioneering spirit should not continue
to pervade military research. The board
should do all in its power to promote
initiative within the services and to reward
it In outstanding cases.

Mockery Of Justice

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
BY committing the sentence Of Mayor James
M Curley of Boston, convicted Of using the
United States mails to defraud President Tru-
man dealt frontal blow to the prestige OF
national justice.
Curley is Democratic national committee
man of Massachusetts,, and has been Con-
gresham and Governor of his State. He Is
four-time Mayor of Boston, which refused to
depose him or stop his $4,000 salary when he
was sent to prison. The man Is political boss
of his city. That is the reason he has been
freed before his sentence had run, before he
was even eligible for parole. Massachusetts and
Boston contain many Democrats, and Curley
Is popular man with party voters-and others.
There is no reason Curley should have been
released from prison because of health. There
is no reason he should have been released at
all. He received special consideration because
of political influence. No ether conclusion Is
plausible.
Just this sort of conduct supports the cynical
belief there is one type Of justice for the pow
erful, another for the average citizen. This Is
not democracy 1t Is rule of the political hx,
to which the President Of the United States
lends his name and function.

tell us that this year we have been looking
at much that is dark in the international
landscape There are sinister forces which
dream not of coming whiteness, but whose
stock in trade is to attribute to others who
plan good will the black motives which the ac-
cusers themselves harbor They see even the
Good Samaritan as scheming gangster. They
are like vultures, of misery, disintegration and
collapse hoping to feed on the decay they cause.
But such day as this is no time for panic and
despair There are irresistible tides of good will
in the world which are sure to win. The very
stars in their courses fight for those who go on
dreaming of white Christmas.
Dreamers own the future, for they belong to
the category of the creators. To dream is to
see today's blackness against the whiteness
of Gods tomorrow Dreamers have ever been
pioneers of a divine discomfort. They have
caught the vision of better day. of a finer
order, of cleaner, kindlier world. They have
sung it and painted it and preached it until
the vision has been brought to earth.
