Operators Agree to Con- 4 SOFT GOAL STRIKE THREAT REMOVED tinue Present Wage ‘at Roosevelt’s Request. By the Assoctated Press. The threat of a recovery-disrupting | soft coal strike, originally set for mid- night tonight, was removed yesterday when Appalachian producers agreed | with the United Mine Workers to con- tinue present wages, hours and work- Ing conditions through June 30. | The coal producers, represented at the joint conference with the miners, | agreed unanimously to continue their present wage and hour contracts, and | to reassemble June 24 to negotiate new | agreements to replace those expiring June 30. This action was requested by Presi- | « dent Roosevelt Friday to give Congress | time to act on the Guffey coal stabili- | zation bill before the bituminous situa- tion was further confused by a strike. Several Southern producing districts were not represented at yesterday's conference, but John L. Lewis, presi- | dent of the mine union, expressed confidence they would “go along.” Most of the operators in these South- | ern districts oppose the Guffey bill to | create a “little N. R. A.” for the soft | coal industry. | Col. W. G. Crichton' of Charleston, W. Va., secretary of the Southern Coal Operators’ Committee, issued a state- ment last night saying Duncan C. Kennedy “never was authorized to speak for the bituminous coal in- dustry,” but asserting that producers in his group will comply with the President’s request to continue wage | He urged that an immediate agree- | ment be reached to continue wage | scale negotiations when they are re- sumed June 24 until a new contract can be consummated, “without regard other special legislation.” Hugh R. Hawthorne, chairman of the Committee Against Bill, issued another statement saying 60 per cent of the coal industry is | opposed to the measure.

Sloan, chairman of the Consumers’ Goods Industries Committee, said to- | day that manufacturers of consumers’ goods are keeping code standards of wages and hours, Sloan cited a survey made at the | end of the third week after the N. R. A. decision. He said the follow- ing are typical comments: Goldthwaite H. Dorr, president of | the Cotton-Textile Institute, Inc.: “A survey of the cotton textile industry, industry with some 1,500 unils ! scattered in 30 States and employing mcre than 500,000 workers, shows that more than 992 per cent of our mills are adhering voluntarily 10 former code wage and hour sched- ules.” A L, Viles, general manager, Rub- Association: Thfl’P is no indication that any branch of our industry contemplates | an automobile, police said. Both MecCarthy and Fuller escaped | from the National Training School for | Boys on Bladensburg road last De- | cember, according to Detective Sergt. Leo Murray. McCarthy is charged with house- ! breaking in connection with the theft | of goods after the smashing of a show window at the Atlas Sport Shop, 400 block of Eleventh street, and at Fo- | gel's men's furnishings store, 500 block of Ninth street. The night of the Atlas Sport Shop robbery several stores in the vicinity were broken into and guns | taken. 4-H YOUTHS STAGE SHOW FOR LEADERS Campfire Snake Dance Climaxes | Day Spent in Visits on Capitol Hill.

Cows Spurn Drink, Eat Prickly Cactus For Water Supply Rain Soaked Up by Spongelike Qualities in Hawaiian Lava. By the Associated Press. HONOLULU, June 15.—If you lead a cow to water on Puuwaawaa Ranch, Hawali, you'll have to teach her to drink. It's because Bossy has been brought up that way—having learned from birth -to live without drinking— though ordinarily she gets enough water in another way. Robert Hind, owner of the ranch, hopes there will be enough rain this year to keep the cactus alive so he will not have to instruct his cattle in the fine art of drinking. That, he un. is a baffling task. The regular water source for Hind's Herefords is the small, pricky cactus plants which alone mske the land valuable; These, their foed, furnish the cattle with their liquid refresh- ment as well. What rain falls is soaked up by the spongelike lava. For some reason, the cows disdain spineless ~ ‘eactus, doting on _the n;:ku. i s a change in the wage and iour situation.” Arthur Besse, president, National | Association of Wool Manufacturer. “The wool textile Industry is observ ing wage and hour provisions by al- most 100 per cent.’ Earl Constantine, managing cirec- | tor, National Association of Hosiery | Manufacturers: “With the exception of a negligible number of cases, the members of the industry are holding to the recent code standards until such time as a definite industry pro- gram can be developed and presented for ratification.” RA (Continued From Flrsg Page) the information on the Nation's busi- | ness the old N.

Donald Richberg, who leaves the re- covery administration today, has ex- pressed thus his doubt of the value of “oluntary agreements: “Too many chiselers.” All Fear Axe. There was only one question at | N. R. A. today, and every employe asked that one: “Have you heard what's going to happen to my job?” Nobody had the true answer, and everybody felt the axe was going to | strike him or her. It is probable that the curtailment of the force will be- | gin at once, but it is likely it will be | spread over a fairly long period. The Executive order issued by the | President continuing the Labor Re- lations Board until July 1 with its | present staff and at present salaries | was an action in anticipation of con- gressional enactment of the Wagner- Connery labor relations bill, which would require the services of the board to carry out its provisions. Contrary to the general view, sec- tion 7 (A), the collective bargaining section of N. I. R. A,, is continued in the extension resolution of Congress and any voluntary agreement reached under the extension legislation is sub- ject to labor bargaining proviso. Walsh Introduces Bill. Senator David 1. Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts introduced a bill re- quested by the administration to re- quire insertion of minimum wage and maximum hour requirements in all Government contracts and forbid em- ployment of children under 16 in their performance. The bill also would make man- datory the requirement of similar agreements in contracts and pur- chases made by States, cities, per- sons or corporations receiving loans or grants of funds from the Govern- ment or any of its agencies. ‘The bill provides that the agree- ments shall contain provisions that "any breach” shall render the of- fender liable to the United States “for liquidated damages in a sum equal to the minimum wage repre- sented to have been or agreed to be paid the employe or employes for the period of employment in viola- tion of the representation or agree- ment.” Such damages may be withheld from “monseys due on the contract,” and a violation of the terms would be grounds for cancellation of the con- tract.
