Aged Indiana Woman Is Burned To Death English, ltd. March 2—(UP)— Authority* Investigated lodny a ' fire which burned fatally Mr*. | Mary Job Mon, Kb. In her home at West Folk yesterday. Mrs. Johnson 'was Iwlh-ved to have ptured kerosone on a fire in a stove, authorities said. —o ——— UNITED MINE (Ceatleaed Fr«ia> !’•■» O«») quested. He challenged Lewis' action In filing a strike notice. "There I* no basis In fact for filing a strike notice." Burke said. 1 . "We have a contract and there h no controversy created by the mere submission of demand*. "The contract does not terminate automatically at midnight March 3! like the last one. but It runs on until one side gives 15 days notice of termination. Ho there la no justification of serv Ing strike notice now." Burke comeded. however, that Lewis could give the 15 days notice In time to terminate the agreement by the end of the M -lay cooling off period ot the war labor dispute* act. Burke said he expected Ezra Van Horn, joint wage conference chairman, to call the operator* here for a preliminary meeting next week. The wage agreement signed last year tarried no definite tertnina lion date but provided that either the operators of the union could dimand negotiation* on 10 day* notice. The notice cmßd It* served any time after March 1, 1946. Fifteen days after bargaining be-' gins, either party may serve noth 1 terminating the contract five days: later Thus the contract would ex-1 plre 30 day* after the receipt of bargaining demands. Under their slogan of "no contract, no work,” | the miners traditionally have struck when their contracts expired. Strike notices are required by the government under a provision in the War Labor disputed act. ■ That provision requires unions to file notices of dispute* which may | result in interruptions of production and to maintain the status quo I for the following 30 days. The NLRB no longer conducts strike votes under the act u WILL ENFORCE CITY tCssMsecS Frem Pag« Om> ' pick up articles Icought in those stores and to light trucks making deliveries to the retail stores.
