tions Committee had reported the
same figure to the Senate. On
motion of Chairman Nicely of the
Senate District Committee from
the floor, however. the Senate
raised the figure to the full $780,
900 previously authorized by an
act of Congress for this year.
The measure carries 4,205, $50
to pay the long delayed $3.50 pay
raise to about 1900 District gov
ernment workers for the last fiscal
year. This was not in dispute be-
tween the House and Senate. since

District revenues.
Full details of the conferees
action were not disclosed imme-
diately after the conferees COM
pleted their action because the
Appropriations Committee staff
was rushing preparations of the

to the 100000 for the Sesqui-

category.

measures affecting the District.

Legion Chief Warns
.AFL Of Trend Toward
Welfare State
BY the Associotsd Press

| ST. PAUL, M1nn., Oct. T.
The national commander of thu
American Legion warned today
there are too many demands fol
increased Government services
demands which may lead to {
welfare state"
His warning came in a speech
at the American Federation o1
Labor convention, which only
yesterday went down the line
again for a broadened social Sc.
curity law. Federal aid for hous-
ing and President Truman's
health insurance plan.
There is a growing disposition
on the part Of more and more
of our people to surrender their
rights and freedoms. bit by bit,
in return for Government guar
antees of their present and fu-
ture security" George N. Craig,
the legion's top spokesman, said.
Defines Welfare State.
THE American Legion wants a
state of welfare in America but
not a welfare state" Mr.. Craig
declared. He defined welfare
state" as one which accepts full
responsibility for economic needs
of it's citizens"
Mr.. Craig said the Legion is 100
per cent behind growing social
movement to take the terrors OF
helpless dependency out of old
age"
But, he added, 1--WE do not be-
lieve that social security should
be primarily and exclusively a
Government responsibility.
1T is the able bodied, free
American citizens own RESPONSE
bility to assure his economic Sc
curity through his own hard work,
thrift and enterprise" Mr.. Craig
said.
Yesterday AFL President Will
liam Green hailed House approval
of an expanded social security sys-
tenn, calling it "the outstanding
legislative victory for labor dur
ing the current session OF Con-
gress."
Urges Mutual Agreement.
In an apparent reference to the
Taft Hartley Act, Mr.. Craig said
that understanding (by labor
and management of mutual
problems-nbt laws-brings mu-
tual agreement.
In the striving for security by
all of our people. the American
Legion believes that it should be
achieved insofar as possible by
a contract between free labor and
free management, rather than by
compulsory government action or
by legislation" the Legion leader
said, adding:
Except in times of national
emergency, the fixing of wages
and working conditions should be
left to the collective bargaining
machinery"
Refers to Atom Blast.
Speaking of the atomic explo-
sion in Russia, Mr.. Craig said
Our immunity to atomic attack
may be gone" He said "allout
teamwork between labor and
management at this time is abso-
luteIy vital to the National well
fare and to National security
The AFL yesterday renewed its
standing offer to the sCIO. to unite

into a single labor organization.

into a single labor organization.
Convention action suggesting
amalgamation instructed AFL Of
ficials to initiate" and follow up
all efforts to bring about a single
labor organization in the United
States.
Frequent previous talks between
the AF'L and CIO failed to reach
agreement on what influence vari-
Gus unions would have in the new
organization.
The CIO may have an answer to
the latest unif1cation proposal at
its National convention in Cleve-
land October 81.

following a melee between about
so union miners and non-union
miners. Mr.. Williams said the
fracas followed when Robert. Law
son, hauling a truckload of coal
was stopped.
AS result of the same incident
warrant was issued charging a
non-union wagon mine operator
Ridge Wacks, with an attempt to
kill. The warrant against Mr.
Wacks was sworn out by Bill
Petrey, a union miner.
Meanwhile, State police con-
tinued their investigation Of the
theft of six cases of dynamite from
the Pounding Mills Stone Quarry
at Tazewell yesterday. Capt. E. j.
McDermott said last night two
investigators had been assigned
to the case.

Ching Sees Crisis Near.
Mr.. Ching intervened in the
coal dispute Wednesday and in
vited the parties to the confer
ence. At the time he said the
coal situation was rapidly ap-
preaching a crisis.
The Federal mediator would not
predict whether, in the event his
own efforts failed. President Tru-
man might follow through under
the Taft-Hartley Act emergency
procedure and appoint a board OF
inquiry step leading possibly
to an injunction.
Negotiations between the oper-
atorS and the union at White
Sulphur Springs and Bluefield
w. Va, were recessed yesterday
for an indefinite period while the
Government sought to effect a
settlement. Those negotiations
had been going on most of the
summer.
While there was not much op-
timism here regarding the Gov
ernment's efforts. Wall Street re-
sponded to the move with an op-
timistic buying splurge. Some
observers took this as an indica-
ton that financial circles ex-
pected a speedy end to both the
coal and steel strikes.
Welfare Fund Is Crux.
The discussions with Mr.. Ching
were expected to center largely or
the 100000. .000-a-year welfare
fund which Mr.. Lewis has tried tc
carry on from a 2O-cent royalty or
each ton of coal mined. The roy
atty is collected from operators
but it is paid for by consumers.
Pensions and other benefits
we're suspended by Mr.. Lewis and
other trustees on September 16
on the grounds the fund was run
ming out of money.
That brought on a shutdown
OF hard and soft coal mines across
the country without any order
from the UNIV chieftain. Mr..
Lewis. however, directed the an
thracite miners in Pennsylvania
and the soft coal workers west OF
the Mississippi River to return to
work last Monday. -
Before and during the walkout
Mr.. Lewis has been meeting, in
termittently with operators. the
Northern and steel interests at
White Sulphur Springs and the
soft coal producers at Bluefield.
He walked out of the White Sui
phur Springs conversations We'd
nesday and turned up at the soft
coal discussions In Bluefield. There
he talked at length about the well
fare fund and indicated that was
his chief concern in getting new
contract.
The old contract expired June
80 but Mr.. Lewis extended the
terms of the old agreement, ex-
cept that he put his miners on a
three-day week.
Some operators gathered from
Mr.. Lewis talk that he would
make a settlement If they would
agree to boost the welfare fund
another 10 or Is cents ton.
But Mr.. Lewis SO far has not
specified his demands. That was
one of the difficulties confronting
Mr.. Ching as he met with the
union leader and operators today.
The coal fields remained quiet
after earlier disturbances and vio-
lence.
