Lewis Plans Call New Coal Strike

WASHINGTON, CP)-Owners of the seized soft coal mines accused John L. Lewis today of engineer ing a "deliberate and premeditat- ed" new strike by his united mine workers in defiance of federal courts.
 The justice department kept se- Cret it's own view pending another appearance by Lewis tomorrow before the judge who plastered him and the UNIV with fines total ing $3,510,000 for violating a mo- strike order last December.
 Lewis advised his union locals by telegram during the day that he approves resumption of pro- duction at each mine as fast as it is certified by federal mine inspec- tors as being in conformity with the federal mine safety code"
 Capt. N. H. Collisson, the coal mines administrator, turned down last Saturday a demand by Lewis that the government close the mines until federal inspectors cer- tify their safety.
 Collisson advised Lewis that the 5l8 mines which the government had shutdown as hazardous he would permit to reopen if the op- erating manager certified them as safe and the local union safety committee made no claim of "im- minent danger"

Red Cross. Aid Given In Nome

During the past year the needy citizens of Nome have been the recipients of financial help and other aid from the American Red Cross.
 Most of the calls for assistance have come from service men away from home and desirous of infor- nation concerning relatives or friends. The Red CorSs has sup piled such information many, many times, this year.
 During the fall storms in Nome there was considerable damage to personal property, especially in the East end of town. The Red Cross flew twenty mattresses in from Anchorage and authorized the pur- chase of much essential material for house repairs.
 Quite a few folk have needed temporary financial assistance, and in some cases money has been given outright. No one has been refused aid. In excess of one thou sand dollars has been used locally for such assistance.
 In the next few days all of the people of this area will have an opportunity to invest in the Red Cross Fund for 1947.
