today as spreading strikes indicat-
ed a probable near-paralysis of the
industry by Monday.
• The critical labor situation was
highlighted by these developments:
1. The number of idle mine work-
ers exceeded 60,000. early today and
the figure was expected to grow
hourly.
a 2. The War Labor Board re-
• ferred the strikes to the Presi-
dent. making government seize
ure of the idle mines virtually
imperative under the war la-
bor disputes act. Such seizure
would immediately make any
a person who encouraged inter-
• ruption of product lea subject
to criminal prosecution. If the
President orders the seizure be-
fore Monday, it will give tre-
mendous import to the meeting
of United Mine Workers policy
• committee on that day.
3. The WLB announced its de-
cision in the Pennsylvania anth-
racite miners' wage dispute, award-
ing an increase of 32.2 cents a day
under the Little Steel formula, free
tools and equipment estimated to
Obe worth 20 to 25 cents a day, and
an increase in the annual vacation
payment from $20 to $50. The an-
thracite miners had asked an in-
crease of $2 a day and portal-to-
portal pay, and an unfavorable re-
action to the decision was seen im-
•mediately.
The most serious impact of the
strike was reported from Alabama
where the Tennessee Coal, Iron &
Railroad company said a shutdown
got its vast Ensley Steel Works was
‘imminent because of a fuel short-
age
The anthracite industry was feel-
ing the effects of the miners' dis-
satisfaction even before the WLB’s
decision was announced. Some local
(unions vot ed not to work today,
regarding Oct. 29 as a traditional
holiday in honor of John Mitchell,
a predecessor ot John L. Lewis
and the leader of historic strikes
in the hard coal region in 1900 and
1902.
9 The lure of time and a half on
Saturday may keep some mines go-
ing this week, but Sunday night is
the terminal period for the work-
ing instruc tions issued by the UMW
leadership last June.
At elegram from Lewis to UMW
•district presidents gave the cue to
the union's official interpretation
of the WLB’s proposal for settling
the underground travel pay issue.
Lewis aid the proposal. Issued Tues-
day in the Illinois case, amounted
9° a reduction in the miners' basic
hourly rate The WLB promptly
challenged Lewis’ arithmetic. An-
other development was a dissent-
ing opinion by AFL members of
■ the board, sharply criticising the
majority.
Presidential action in the crisis
was loaded with possibilities. Mr.
Roosevelt might give the coal pro-
duction job to the army instead of
1 to Interior Secretary Ickes, who is
—reported unwilling to tackle the job
• again without more authority than
‘ he was allowed as custodian last
> spring.

around over the Kansas plains,
suddenly realized he was lost.
He recalled flying instructors
had told him to swoop low over

name of the town, if he got lost.
He spotted & tower and had to
drop to 500 feet before he could
read the sign.

AAA administrator Is C. B. Jones,
and working as chairman of the
AAA committee is B H. Pritchard
who also serves as chairman of the
USDA War board The War board
handles the rationing program,
includes machinery and quota cer-
tificates for copper wire.

The farm construction program
and the reasons for its maintenance,

the board
The War board is authorized to
organize and supervise salvage col-

The board members discuss reg-
ulations with farmers relative to
selective service and farm labor
deferments, conduct investigations
and certify to the selective service
the eligibility for deferment, and
answer cases where deferment is
not recommended.

An organization since 1933, the
Agricultural Adjustment agency,
more familiarly known as the Triple
A. is now geared with one prime ob-
jective: to aid the war effort.
Its purpose is to help the far-
mers get a fair share of the nation-
al income; to protect consumers by
providing agricultural products at
fair prices; to rebuild and main-
tain the productivity of the soil,
for production of an abundant sup-
ply of farm products and to Im-
prove living conditions of farm
people by increasing food and feed
production for home use
The AAA asks cooperation of
farmers to increase the supply
of pork, poultry, dairy products,
certain fruits and vegetables,
soybeans and peanuts for oil, as
well as other food or feed crops.
The AAA prepares a farm plan
sheet on which the farmer indi-
cates what crops he will plant and
the number of livestock and poul-
try he plans to raise The works
sheets for each county are counted
and added to the total of all oth-
er counties for a state total, and
finally the state figures make up
the national total for an estimated
farm production for the coming
year.
All persons filling out the sheets
are awarded certificates of farm
war service suitable for framing.

Rules in WTCC Referendum
Meet Wednesday Explained
Stressing the importance of the
operations of the balloting, reg-
istration and the credential booth,
M. C. Ulmer, president of the West
Texas chamber of commerce yes-
terday sent out his regular news
letter together with the agenda for
the referendum session of the
WTCC here next Wednesday.
The referendum is being held
this year in substitution of the
26th annual convention.
Ulmer’s letter explained that each
director, his proxy, or the director
nominee must call at this booth,
register, secure his badge and cre-
dentials. verify his city’s voting
. Good Neighbor
LOS ANGELES, Oct 29-
Mary Bischel, attractive 20-year-
old telephone operator told police
she was walking down the street
and a man clutched her from be-
hind.
Quickly, she leaned forward,
grabbed his ankle, reared back
and planked him flat on the
pavement. Then she stamped on
his face and fled.
•T don’t exactly remember where
strength and affiliated status, and
either turn in his referendum bal- 1
lot, or verify and endorse his bal- I
lot as already turned in.
The president said the letter was
highly important inasmuch as un-
der the by-laws, and as specified
on the ballot, it is the director who
is responsible for casting his city's
vote and it is his vote which must
be counted in accordance with pro-
cedure.
Even though the ballot Is already
in, the director can. If he chooses
in the light of additional informa-
tion, at any time change his vote
and that of his city's. In the
event- a city has more than one
director and these directors vote
differently, the city’s vote then will
be divided evenly.
The letter concluded "this is a
real directors meeting, with the
directors being responsible for the
actions taken, and in taking action,
the directors, through the referen-
dum plan, have the benefit of the
recommendations from their local
chambers of commerce and other
citizens."
