|Coa| Miners Due Back
Tomorrow, but Talk
|0f Strikes Persists
BY me Associated Press

John L. Lewis soft coal miners
are due back at work tomorrow
after the New Years holiday, but
talk arose of possible strikes
against key companies.
Reports persisted in the field
that the miners in scattered parts
of West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and elsewhere would not re-
port tomorrow.
President George H. Love of
Pittsburgh Consolidation, one of
the firms mentioned in the re-
ports, said, however. he had "ab-
solutely no information" about
possible strike.
Leads Lewis Opposition.
Mr.. Love has led the almost
solid opposition of the operators
to the demands of Mr.. Lewis. An
other firm mentioned as possibly
a special target of Mr.. Lewis was
the Island Creek Coal Co. of
West Virginia.
Two presidents of UNIV dis
tricts in West Virginia said as
far as they knew their miners
would be on the job tomorrow.
Cecil Urbaniak, president of
District 81 at Fairmont, said Il
presume every one will work"
Mr.. Loves company has large
holdings in Mr.. Urbaniak's dis
trict. In Southern West Virginia,
George j. Titler. president of Dis
trict 20, asserted. "Our boys are
willing and able"
Working Only Two Days.
Mr.. Lewis has had his miners
on a three-day work week, but
last week and this week the inin-
ers planned to work only Tues
day and Wednesday.
Major groups of operators have
brought charges of unfair labor
practices against Mr.. Lewis before
the National Labor Relations
Board. They allege that the short
work week amounts to coercion
to agree to Mr.. Lewis contract
demands.

Loss Of Chest Workers
Feared as Low Budget
Blocks Salary Raises

Executives of many United
Community Services agencies fear
the loss of valuable employees when
promised raises in salary scales
are not forthcoming because cam
paign contributions failed to reach
the Chests goal.
The UCS disclosed this today in
announcing that 81 agencies sup
ported by the Community Chest
will operate during the first two
months of this year on 1949 budget
allocations. The 1850 budget al
lowances of the agencies will not
become effective until March l.
The 1850 Community Chest
campaign ended last week S433,-
e88 short of its goal of $3,991,7 ,719
The amount raised, however, was
more than that for 1949.
Robert A. Wilson said the UCS
Budget Committee, of which he is
chairman. is working with the
UCS planning sections to adjust
the 1850 ALLEGATIONS to the Red
Feather agencies based on esti-
mates of the sums to be realized
finally from the 1850 campaign.
Efforts will be made for several
months to whittle down the def
cheney.
In the meantime" he said,
1--WE are concerned over what
effects the necessity for operating
on the 1949 ALLEGATIONS for Janu-
ary and February will have on
services and agency staffs."
He said many agencies are pay
ing salaries we'll below the ap-
proved level for this area, and
boards are aware they
cannot keep and attract efficient,
effective personnel" without in
creasing salaries.

the veterans, 1t would mean that
any veteran, regardless of whether
he had permanent status or not
and regardless of seniority factors
could not be dismissed in Govern
ment reduction-in force programs
until all veterans had been
fired.
AT present, veterans have pref
erence rights in their particular
categories. For example, a vet
eran with status has preference
over any non-veteran. And a vet
eran var service employe has job
retention rights over a non-vet-
eran war service employe.
But a veteran without perma-
nent status does not have prefer
ence over a non-veteran employe
who does have status.
A group of veterans now are
claiming that veterans are en-
titled. to absolute preference re-
gardless of status considerations
They base their claim on the Vet
Grams Preference Act of 1914.
The Justice Department and the
Civil Service Commission contend
that the Veterans Preference Act
of 1914. which does not contain
this absolute preference provision,
supercedes the 1914 law and there
fore invalidates the absolute vet
Grams preference section.
Commission officials say that if
the 1914 law is upheld, it would
destroy the civil service merit sys-
tenn and endanger the jobs of all
non-veteran employees. That's why
it and the Justice Department are
vigorously fighting the case before
the Federal appeals court in New
York.

aimed for Junior management and
junior executive responsibilities.
At present, he says, top and
middle management officials are
reluctant to participate in the
training of supervisors.
Also, he advocates more intel
ligent approach in advising super
visors what is expected of them
on the job. Just to tell them that
they must be loyal, helpful,
friendly, courteous and trust
worthy" is no help at all-it's just
a bunch of platitudes that mean
nothing to them. Specific re-
quirements and responsibilities
should be given to supervisors.
All too often, Mr.. Augliere says,
supervisors are thought of as per-
sons walking up and down
large room with rows of desks at
which clerks are busy at work"
A new and fresh approach is
needed to the problem, both on
the part of the Governments top
personnel officials and those who
train supervisors.
Another thing that would help
a great deal, adds Mr.. Augliere, is
for management representatives
to teach the trainees in simple,
everyday language and dispense
with the unintelligible bureau
cratic jargon that is all too often
used in these supervisory training
courses.

that there would be swift United States and United
Nations action
Now that each side has learned something about
the character and potential of the other it is newt
able that there should be renzed Communist assault
to force decision before United Nations forces can
be brought fully and finally to bear 1t is likewise
obvious that the small forces that we have COM
mitted will strain their endurance to the utmost,
knowing that substantial assistance is coming closer
every hour.
1t is in the nature of the engagement that the
strongest of the enemy's weapons should have been
best suited for the quick attack and the quick de-
cision First of these the weapon of deadly sur
prise and it inflicted heavy casualties particularly on
the unprepared South Korean army. Second was the
tank-ed infantry column skillfully handled, which
proved its capacity for rapid exploitation of every de-
fensive weak point Third infilraton, which
was most effective in time of confusion and with
drawal before there could be stabilized line.
Against these weapons and tactics we have been
obliged to put far inferior force, numerically, to
hold what ground it could long it could, while
we used the available strength of weapons OF greater
time range. Among these strategic bombardment
and blockade There is no doubt that in the long
run they will have proved to be devastatingly eff
fectve but they will require the long run.
Finally the mobilization of united world opinion
and of the United Nations action IN the military
sphere is necessarily slow process 1t is, indeed,
amazing that the many nations have moved as
rapidly as they have done. But the dictator or the
tryant always has this advantage of initial swiftness
over those require the processes of elaboration
and consent Nevertheless, that freedom of thought
and action gives an element of ong-range strength
that is in no despot's arsenal.
The time of crisis is upon us. There Is every
sign that it will be met with the utmost resolution
valor and selflessness by our under arms.

for the governor but if i per cent against him,

methods admit that Don Foster always worked for
what he thought the best interests OF the Indians
