Lewis Directs Miners to Go Back
In Compliance With Court Order
But Few Are Expected to Obey
Locals T ukeStund
Of No Contract,
No Work in Pits
By the Associoted Press

~ h'S SSsOeIdiSQ TItSS
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 11.-De-
spite orders from Federal court
and John L. Lewis, reports to-
night indicated the Nation S
striking soft coal miners won't GO
back to work Monday.
Said one Western Pennsylvania
miner who speaks for 700 men in
his UNIV local:
Neither Lewis nor Truman nor
anyone else can get the men back
until they get a contract.
"The attitude of the men
could change, but right now it's
still no contract, no work
The Robena Pa.) local-UMW's S
largest-voted unanimously to
continue the strike in spite of
the court order.
After Mr.. Lewis directed his
men to resume work, President
John Ozanich of the Robena local
declared:
"Robena still says no. We
will not go back before we get a
contract. Lewis didn't call us out
and he can't tell us when to 60
back"
Few Areas to Comply.
And in Illinois, UNIV District
President Hugh White stated:
"As Free American citizens. I
doubt very much if the $4,000
Illinois miners will go back to
work Monday. That's all I have
to say"
First reports from the Kentucky
fields indicated the miners won't
return Monday. A union source
who asked not to be named said
he believes "the only thing that
will satisfy the miners Is a con-
tract"
The only reports indicating
compliance with Mr.. Lewis order
came from the areas where only
"a few thousand UNIV members
dig coal. In the State of Wash
ington. a UNIV spokesman said
he had not received MIR. Lewis
order but said that he would COM
ply with 1t. adding st think the
boys will go back"
John L. Henry ALLAH, president
of UNIV District No. Il which en-
braces Kansas and Western Mis-
souri,, says his miners will re-
turn to work as soon as the off,
cial order is received from Mr.
Lewis.
Locals Action Unanimous.
A schoolhouse meeting of the
Robena local brought first reac-
ton to the court order to halt the
coal strike. The meeting attended
by 1000 of the locals 2,450 mem
bers vetoed unanimously a reso-
luton for a return to work.
The angry miners heard that an
injunction had been served on
Mr.. Lewis. They were asked if
they will obey the order
mo, no, no." they shouted.
"Ten days or 80 days, the men
won't go back" declared one
miner. "The men know that if
they go back they will never get
a contract"
A West Virginia UNIV leader,
Cecil Urbaniak of District 81 at
Fairmont. said his men greeted
word of the coal inquiry board S
recommendation this way:
"To hell with them. Let them
(the board members) dig the
COAL"
Showdown Is Hinted.
At Morgantown, w. Va, Ernest
Richards, president of the Kelley
Creek mine, said:
II don't think the miners will
be forced back to work by the
Taft Hartley law"
A veteran Pennsylvania miner
(See MINERS, Page A-5.)

900 striking miners were not 60
ing back to work and neither
Lewis nor Truman nor anyone
else can get the men back until
they have a contract" Several
UNIV District leaders said they
doubted if any coal will be mined
tomorrow.
Government attorneys indicated
that contempt action for disobey-
ing the courts back-to-work order
will not be undertaken tomorrow
even should the miners fail to re-
port for work. They refused to
say what will be done should the
strike be continued beyond tomor-
row. That would pose a problem
the Federal lawyers do not like
to contemplate, because the court
order is directed at Mr.. Lewis and
the UNIV, not the miners, and
Mr.. Lewis, at least, seemed to
comply with it.
Offers to Resume Bargaining.
Besides Mr.. Lewis telegram to
UNIV district presidents instruct
ing them to end the week -old
strike, he sent a telegram to the
three big groups of mine opera
tors. In the latter message he
offered, also in compliance with
the District Court order, to re-
sumo contract bargaining with the
mine owners next Wednesday at
the Statler Hotel.
The Lewis back-to-work in
structions came at the end of q
day of fast-moving developments
in the coal crisis in which Dis
trict Court Judge Richmond. B.
Keech issued two Taft Hartley
Act injunctions against Mr.. Lewis
and his union.
In the principal action, Judge
Keech signed an order presented
by Assistant Attorney General H.
Graham Morrison restraining
the coal strike for 10 days. The
judge scheduled for hearing Feb
ruary 20 a second Government re-
quest to extend the restraining
order into a full-f1edged Taft
Hartley injunction which would
last for 80 days.
Called imperative" to Nation.
Other developments were:
l. A Taft Hartley board of in
ouiry into the eight-month soft
coal contract dispute told Presi-
dent Truman that immediate re-
sumption of coal mining, because
of ebbing fuel supplies, was "im-
perative" to the health and safety
of the Nation. The boards re-
port blamed both Mr.. Lewis and
the mine operators for the failure
to reach agreement on a new
contract. The old agreement ex-
pired last June 80.
2. The President instructed At
torney General McGrath to apply
for the 80-day national emer-
gency" injunction. Mr.. Truman
said the strike, if allowed to con-
tinue, will imperil the national
health and safety"
8. Judge Keech, in accordance
with his opinion of last Thursday
signed a second injunction which
prevents Mr.. Lewis, at least tenn
porarily, from pushing four OF
his contract demands on the coal
operators. That order was re:
quested by the National Labor Re-
lations Board general counsel. II
describes the four demands as
probably illegal, and hence, unfair

that Tabor City have sufficient

1850 CarolinaS Yam Festival is
now being planned. These festi-
walls along with the ever increas-
ing production OF potatoes and
the buying know-how of loca'
brokers are fast bringing Tabor
City into the limelight as the
Sweet Potato Capitol of the
World.
The produce market has grown
from a few crops to many, and
is one Of the big reasons why
farmers in the area stand almost
alone as the most versatile CROP
producers in the state.
Two large numbering plants arc
located in Tabor City and help
keep the town from being ex
clusively a farming area.
The distribution of fertilizer
and feeds has been a big business
here for years and several large
warehouses are used as fertilizer
warehouses. Efforts even now
are being made to put a feed
manufacturing plant in Tabor
City and thereby be able to bet
ter serve the farming clientele.
The Tabor City Cold Shortage
Company has over 500 lockers
and is one of the largest in the
county. Tabor City also has an
ice plant that has been operating
here for a good many years.
The first brick school building
was erected here 40 years ago.
The old wooden structure which
the new building replaced was

Company and still stands across
the railroad tracks from the eX,
press office and is in much use
today.
The first bank was opened here
in 1909 and known as the Bank
of Tabor. 1t was located at the
corners of Live Oak street and
Railroad street, the site now oc
cupied by w. Leonard and Son.
Stockholders in the first banl
were r. M. Carroll, ]. L. Lewis
and President c. c. Pridgen.
In 1910 B. B. Anderson erected
the crate factory which still
stands on its original site and is
known now as The D. j. Hughes
Company. 1t was the first real
industry in the town except for
numbering is still practically the
only industry. The crate factory
then as now busted itself with
the manufacturing of strawberry
:. &tes, boxes and other similar
commodities. Anderson sold the
company to w. B. Roberts and
D. ]. Hughes and Mr.. Hughes
later bought the plant in entirety
and today it is owned and operat-
ed largely by his immediate
family.
The cultivation of strawberries
was the main farm crop in these
earlier times. Today strawberries
take their rightful place in the
farming of the area but has taken
a back seat to tabacco and sweet
potatoes. The sweet potatoes came

The Carolina warehouse was
erected in 1909. This was the first
tobacco warehouse in Tabor City
and it was located almost on the
same site it is today. That ware
house, however, was only about
one fourth the size of the present
Carolina Warehouse. Since that
time several other warehouses
have been built here, some hav'

four large warehouses stand to-
day some of them as modern as
any in the tobacco selling
country.
Up to 1885 the town remained
Mt. Tabor by name, but a bill
in the legislature changed it to
Tabor City in an effort to avoid
confusion with Tarboro, N. c.
and Mt. Tabor, S. G. At the time
of the change of names. the ship.

Arizona Barber College and has
done other notable deeds for his

Mrs. Moore has served six years

Frank Miller was sentenced to
death without fair trial. Carson
came to his rescue without practic-

Now Frank is married and has
taken his place in society, credit
ably, a free man.
Not only these things mentioned

done for humanity, by Terrence
