NEW YORK. April Settlement of the work of 400,000 soft coal miners in 12 states was near today as Dr. John R. Steelman, U. S. Conciliation Service Director and personal rep-

negotiators together for ‘not 48 hours for continued and diligent negotiations.” Representatives of the United Mine Workers of America, headed by its president, John L. Lewis, and spokesmen for 21 coal-producing associations in the Appalachian District were accelerating their efforts to reach a new wage-hour agreement following the first outbreak of violence in which a mine guard was Killed at Harlan, Ky. Dr. Steelman thought they would succeed by tomorrow night. Another man was shot and killed and four others were wounded in a recurrence of violence in Harlan shortly before neon today. Reliable sources reported the operators willing to grant the miners chief demand for a $1-a-day increase in the prevailing basic wage of $6 the North and £5.60 in The differential between the two sections would be eliminated. In return, the miners were said to be ready to drop demands for a minimum of 200 workIng days a year and two weeks vacation with pay. Dr. Steelman said there was no cause for public alarm. If an agreement is not reached within 48hours, he believed a temporary resumption of work would be arranged pending continued negotia- | tions.

forms of Federal action in labor disputes. Mr. Early pointed out that Mr.

Roosevelt could not dispatch troops, even if he were disposed to do so, without a formal request from the Governor. Mr, Heil, it was understood, has forwarded a request for Federal troops to headquarters of the Sixth Corps Area at Chicago, but Mr Early said that the troop call had not been forwarded to the White House from Sixth Corps headquarters. Takes Personal Command

Mr. Roosevelt indicated yesterday that he was taking personal command of Administration efforts to adjust labor disputes delaying defense production. He emphasized a plea to employers and emplovees to keep production lines open and mediate disputes. He expressed confidence in existing Federal machinery for adjusting labor disputes and said he would oppose all restrictive labor legislation until that machinery has been given a full and fair trial. The new Defense Mediation Board continued mediation of one dispute, reopened another and ordered parties in a third to meet here next week to begin negotiations. Harvester Case Studied

A board official said agreemen: had been reached by International Harvester Co. officials and the Farm Equipment Workers Organizing Committee (C. I. O.) on three points of a four-point board proposal for settlement of disputes affecting 13,000 workers at four Midwestern plants. The terms were not disclosed, but a mediator said the one point yet to be agreed upon “is the toughest of the four.” A five-man board panel has veen meeting with company and union officials since Monday. when strikers returned to work under an armistice, A three-man board panel has reopened nezotiations in the strike of 2500 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (A. F. of L) at the Condenser Corp. plant ai South Plainfield, N. J. The board calied in union officials who last Saturday accepted, along with the company, a board proposal to return to work and mediate. The agreement was rejectea by union President Ed Brows.

An appeal to unemployed workers register for defense industry work was mede last night by Ray C. Smith of the State Employment Security Division in an interview over Radio Station WIBC. “Our big problem is getting the best workers available —men or women—into the jobs where they can be of most use,” Mr Smith said.

blocked off, citizens are being beaten and molested in their attempt to (return to work.” The U. A. W.'s long struggle to gain collective bargaining rights at Ford plants had been approaching today's show-down for several weeks. The union had petitioned the National Labor Relations Board for an eiection at the plant and a heaying was held last week. at which American Federation of Labor unions and the Independent Ford Brotherhood intervened. The decision was left with the Labor ton. Mr. Carey said the strike was “an attempt to break down the whole plan of national defense, no doubt inspired by some torm of subversive activity.” The Governor replied: “I have directed Commissioner Oscar A. Olander to send the full available manpower of State Police to Dearborn at once for the purpose of maintaining law and order.” Only the automobiles of recognized picket line captains, newspaper reporters and a few cars bearing Red Cross markings were permitted to pass through the road blockades. Most other motorists turned back when the pickets laid hands on the automobiles as if to overturn them. At least two carloads of Negroes who attempted to run the blockade
