Truman Names Board
To Probe Rail Dispute
By the Asxoeioied Press

President Truman yesterday
named a three-man emergency
board to investigate a labor dis
pute which had threatened a rail-
road strike beginning tomorrow.
An order Friday creating the
board automatically held up a
strike for so days.
The board members are:
Roger I. McDonough, chief JUS
tice of the Utah Supreme Court.
Gordon S. Watkins, professor
of economics at the University of
California at Los Angeles.
Judge Mart J. O'Malley of the
Indiana Supreme Court.
A chairman will be designated
later.
The almost year-long dispute
involves conductors and trainmen,
and the eastern. western and
southeastern carriers conference
committees.
Among other things the unions
seek a 40-hour week for some
1000 yard service employees with
out a cut in pay. They are now
on a 48-hour basis. They also
want 13 changes in operating
rules, while the carriers are ask

handouts from welfare agencies.
Pittsburgh, heart of the soft
coal industry, is typical of the
Nations plight.
Emergency coal was mined
under police protection at the
Aloe Brothers union strip mine
at Imperial, Is miles from Pitts
burgh.
State police and uniformed
deputy sheriffs patrolled the strip
area today to guard against stone
throwing pickets who appeared
previously. But no pickets showed.
Town to Provide Dormitories.
Coal supplies in the little Ohio
town Of Defiance were exhausted.
Mayor Ronald B. Baringer offered
to arrange dormitories to provide
warm lodging for families with
invalids or children.
Indianapolis will operate under
a state of emergency tomorrow.
Many cities and towns have
dimmed their lights in return to
wartime brownouts. Even New
York's Broadway has bowed to
fuel saving measures and toned
down its gay signs.
Schools and colleges in many
parts of the Nation are closed be-
cause they have no heat.
Even the Nations food supply
is threatening.

The Chesapeak and Ohio Rail-
way made new coal-saving cuts in
passenger service yesterday-in

Interstate Commerce Commission.
An official said the company has
only about one weeks operating
supply left.
The most widely known trains
to be taken off are Nos. and s,

The strike has produced some
violence, especially in the Central
Pennsylvania and West Virginia
fields. Most of the trouble has
been at non-union mines which
attempt to operate despite rowing
bands of UNIV pickets.

Coal Mediation RedoubIed
[As Trial Of Union Approaches

with small operators said to pro-
duce about 48 million tons Of
coal a year calling for a wage in
crease of IS cents a day and an
increase in the welfare fund Of
Is cents per ton. The average
wage now is $14.05 a day, and
the operators pay 20 cents a ton
into the welfare and retirement
fund.
Reluctant to Commit Selves.
There Was another report that
the operators had indicated they
would be willing to give a wage
increase Of rs cents a day end
a welfare fund raise of 10 cents
per ton. But the operators de-
MED it and apparently there was
no offer from either side on the
bargaining table. .
Both sides obviously are anxious
to end their long contract con-
troversy. But both the UNIV and
operators seem reluctant to make
the initial commitment necessary
for the ironing out of their diff
ferences. They fear that any con-
cession would indicate weaken
ing OF positions and lead to- an
unfavorable contract.
The UNIV faces Judge Keech
tomorrow as a third time offender
on contempt of court back-to-
work orders. Twice before the
union was fined a total of $2,-
100000 for ignoring court orders
to end strikes. Mr.. Lewis was fined
100000 in the same two cases.
But Mr.. Lewis so far is not a
defendant in the present case.
He cleared himself at least for
the time being of any contempt
by twice appealing, futilely, to
the miners to end their strike.
There still remains a possibility
that he and other officials of the
UNIV may be charged with con-
tempt if the strike continues.
Entitled to Jury Trial.
The UNIV faces both criminal
and civil contempt. On the crimi-
nal charge the union is entitled
to a trial by jury. Welly K.
Hopkins. chief union attorney
will tell the court tomorrow
whether he wants a jury trial.
If he does, the whole proceeding
will be slowed considerably.
Meanwhile, millions are feeling
the effects of the strike.
Railroad, steel and automobile
industry layoffs rival those of de-
preston days.
The idle total by tomorrow will
soar to 522, 2,O0O-including the
372, 900 miners.
John D. Battle, executive vice
president of the National Coal
Association, told a reporter:
"One more week of this and
there will be simply chaos. We've
quit trying to keep figures on coal
stocks.
Except in a few cases where
individual companies had stocks
on hand, it is hand-to- hand every
where.
"Out Of my long experience I
don't remember anything to COM
pare with it in soft coal"

That means you, Mr.. OIL. I've
gone very carefully over the long

your wife shows a run in her

trying to bankrupt you-but you
fail to mention that you lost $40
at poker the night before.
@ You show great courtesy
toward all other women, and are
particularly polite and compli-
mentary to your wife's sister, but
YOU forget to give your wife an
occasional compliment or word of
appreciation.
3. You object to having the
radio going if she wants to hear
some good music, but you insist
on turning it up loudly. even when
she is telephoning. if you want
to listen to a double-header.
4. You take great pains to point
out to her that her slip shows, but
1t never occurs to you to remark
how becomingly she is dressed,
or how well her new hat looks
on her, or that she is really a
beautiful woman.
S. You sit down and begin to
eat, even before she has finished
putting the meal on the table.
6. You complain bitterly about
how long it takes her to get ready
to go out, but it never occurs to
you to say, "I'll dry the dishes
while you fix your hair"
Oh, yes, I know that you pay
the bills promptly. In other
words, you are willing to pay
punctuaIly for your board and
lodging. But do you think that
is all she expected when you took
her as a wife? Come to think of
it, is that all you expected to offer,
when you took her as a wife? Or
