1000 Ruined Homes

By HELEN KIRKPATRICK Times and The Chicago Da News

LONDON. April 22. —Against a background of desolation and desuviction worse than anv I had ever seen, the municipal authorities of Plymouth, headed by the Mavoress, Lady Astor, last week were presented a check for $25.000 bv Bertram Cruger of the American Britisn War Relief Society / The square where the once-impressive Guildhall formerly stood is a mass of crumbled stone. To.one side, the famous old St. Andrews Church, where Vice-Admiral Sur Martin Frobisher was buried and from which Sir Francis Drake set out for the West Indies, is no more than an cmpty shell The port, which has welcomed #0 many Americans to England and from which the Pilgrims set sail, would not be iecognized by those who have visited it in peacetime. In fact, two raids in mid-March made as much of 3 mess of the City as it would seem possibile to make. Few hoiels survived ana 1000 houses were destroyed Ne spent the night with the Astors mn their windowless house on the hilltop, though it did not seem like the healthiest place to be, with the harbor directly below and destruction all around. This visit of ours to Plvmouth gave us a graphic picture of the tremendous task being undertaken bv the mavors of British cities in wartime

In a two-hour walk about Plym-! outh we must have been stopped 100 times by all sorts of people who wanted to tell their troubles to the American-born Lady Astor. One woman who had been bombed out of her house three different times and had lost her husband in the last raid stopped Lady Astor and asked if she would come to see her son who had been paralyzed in a recent raid. “It would cheer him up if you was to see him, Milady. He's that depressed at being out of action and his two brothers in the Navy. It's a pity my other three are girls. ! Wish they was boys so they could fight.”

Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Hampshire and Vermont. In New Jersey alone, more than 50.000 acres of timber had been de- | stroved. Officers at Ft. Dix sent newly inducted Army personnel out in detachments of 100 or less to beat out flames spotted in central New Jersey. One group of 80 soldiers nearly became encircled by fires, but a plane from the State Fire Warden’s Department dropped weighted notes telling them how to get out of the trap.

SOUTH RETURNS T0 MINE PARLEY

Dixie Group Agrees Resume Talks After Plea by FDR.

By FRED PERKINS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 22 {Southern coal operators announced | lafter a conference at the White | House today that they were return- | ing immediately to New York to re|sume negotiations for reopening the {mines at President Roosevelt's request.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

First of M3 TanksChristened in N. Y.

| = i

President Roosevelt had called on |

{the operators and union last night to resume production “in the inter|est of national defense.”

He had asked that the group (the |

Northern operators) which already has agreed with the United Mine | Workers on a raise in basic pay of $1 a day, agreement by

follow through on that | resuming production |

lof the fuel which is becoming in-| |creasingly scarce in defense indus-

| tries. i Issues Statement

Mr. condition in his statement: | “While an agreement between a

Roosevelt took note of this |

group of operators on one side and another group of operators on the other. The result is that the mines, which should be operating, are not doing so and there is a diminishing supply of soft coal available to plants engaged in defense produc- | tion. “It is imperative that there be no shortage now. He asked that the Southern operators, who have not agreed with the miners’ union and who bolted the wage conference in New York with the declaration that “enemies were in league” against them, likewise reopen their mines, {and resume negotiations with the final settlement to be made retro- | active to the day of opening.

The Southern Attitude

| In the minds group the word “retroactive” was the important one. They already thave offered immediate resumption of production, with a pay raise immediately of 11 per cent, insist on retention of their 40 cents a dav wage differential. Thev declare it is made essential by freight rates and other factors favoring their Northern competitors. | If a settlement is reached today on the basis of the President's appeal, the Southerners pleaded this morning that they will be forced leventually into an industry arrange‘ment of extreme disadvantage to them. | With the Northern mines going into full production and in position to capture the markets of this highly competitive industry, the Southerners took the position—on a first reading of the Presidents appeal—that they would be forced by competitive pressure eventually to agree to the demands that caused them to pull out of New York. That is, they said, if they want to stay {in business.

Lewis Stil in New York

i The Northern group operates in | Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia and Ohio. Linked with these states economically and usually by contract are the important coal producing regions of Indiana, Illinois and states farther west Prominent in the proceedings is {the figure of John L. Lewis, president of the Mine Workers Mr Lewis chose this vear to get rid of Southern pay differential—as two {vears ago he seized the opportunity with Federal help to force all the operators, North and South, to agree to a “closed shop.” Mr. Dewis is still in New York, waiting for the final conclusion of negotiations with the Northerners. The President's appeal followed fruitless efforts during the day by John R. Steelman, head conciliator of the U. S. Labor Department, to get results for the plea of Labor Secretary Frances Perkins that the Northern mines reopen today. The terms of the President's appeal were viewed as indicating that Dr. Steelman had been informed bv Mr Tlewis that the retroactive require{ments for the Southerners was es{sential if he would send the miners back into the Northern mines.

M. Fontenoy, a staunch pro-Ger-man, was one of the first backers of M. Laval’s “coliaboration” pro-

Matsuoka reported in detail to the Cabinet and the Emperor.
