INTRODUGE FIVE ABSENTEE BILLS

Range From: u. om U.S. Selzure of Struck Plants to ‘Work or Fight’ Edict.

WASHINGTON, March 2 (U. P.). —Increasing congressional irritation over war workers’ absenteeism was reflected today in legislative proposals ranging from government seizure of struck plants to work-or-fight edicts for the employees. Five new bills on the subject were introduced yesterday, two in the senate and three in the house. They were aimed not only at shutdowns because of labor disputes but at any other absences from work except for the most legitimate reasons of health or personal emergency.

~ WASHINGTON, March 2 (U. P.) ~The war manpower commission and the war production beard announced jointly today that they have developed a plan for solving the problem of absenteeism among war workers. The two agencies added, how-_ ever, that they would not reveal details of the plan until it has been placed before other government units whose co-operation will be asked in making it effective,

The house committee on naval affairs begins hearings tomorrow on another such proposal with the intent of expanding to all war workers provisions for a draft board review of the status of any worker unnecessarily absent from the job. Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, Chairman Emory’ S. Land of the maritime commission and Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson will testify. All of the new labor bills were offered by Democrats—Senators Tom Connally of Texas and Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, and Representatives Luther Johnson off Texas, Frank Welchel of Georgia and Eugene Worley of Texas. Suggests “Treason” Rep. Welchel’s bill not only would empower the government to seize struck plants but: would make guilty of treason “those persons responsible for the non-co-operation of industrial plants” as well as strike leaders or agitators. Senator Byrd's bill, similar to naval affairs committee bill, would require notification to local draft hoards of any absences from work and leave it up to. the draft board to determine “where it will be in the best interests of the war effort for such. registrant to be inducted |into the land or naval forces.” The bills ‘by Senator Connally, Rep. Luther Johnson and Rep. Worley provided for government: seizure

and operation of struck plants and]

were similar to one introduced -by Senator Connally last year. The developments also arcused new intérest in anti-strike bills already pending. Senator W. Lee O’Daniel (D. Tex.), said he was encouraged by the “added senate interest -in this matter” and hoped| that it would draw out of the senate labor committee a bill he introduced in January, The bill, identical to one passed by the Texas legislature during O’Daniel’s term as governor, would establish heavy penalties for violence growing out of a labor dispute. Rep. Wright Patman (D. Tex), began ‘circulating a petition seeking the 218 names necessary to discharge the house judiciary eommittee from further consideration of a bill which would forbid two or more persons from conspiring in any way to hamper the war effort. Rep. Patman introduced a bill as an anti-strike measure early this session.

U. S. War Program Affected ‘By Labor Disputes of ~~ Miners. BY ALLEN HADEN

and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. LA PAZ, Bolivia~—A dangerous drop in Bolivia's tin production from 42,740 tons of fine tin in 1941 to 38,884 tons in 1942 caused board of economic warfare officials in Washington at year’s end to look around for the reason, since Bolivian tin is

essential in war production today.

The slaying on Dec, 21 of striking workers at the Catavi mines belonging to the Bolivian tin baron Simon I. Patino confirmed presumptions that all is not well among ‘{1abor in Bolivia. An earlier suggestion of Fernando Guachalla, Bolivian minister to Washington, for a labor investigation was revived, resulting in a mission headed by Judge Calvert Magruder. That mission arrived in Bolivia early in February. Only a few facts stand out clearly in the incredibly tangled tin snarl in this country.- But the main one is still shrouded in mystery—the profits of {jn mining in Bolivia, which are believed to be 35 per cent yearly or more. Three big operators; known locally together with their legion of lawyers as “La Rosca” (the ring) dominate Bolivia’s mining, with. 81 per cent of production. They are Simon I. Patino, Mauricio Hochschild and Carlos Victor Aramayo. Taxes . Support Bolivia

Since Bolivia depends for 70 per cent of its revenue on tin taxes, the country also depends for practical purposes on the big three, The big three and some of .the medium miners sell their tin directly and exclusively to the Metals Reserve Corp., under direction of the U. 8. board of economic warfare. All other miners sell their tin to the

{Bolivian government miners bank, ‘Iwhich in turn sells to Metals Re-

serve Corp. During 1942 a readjustment of prices made with Metals Reserve retroactive to Jan. 1, 1942, netted the big operators about $15,000,000. Cuts on this melon were not passed on to the mine workers. In August, 1942, thé first rumblings of trouble came from the. Potosi mines operated by Mauricio Hochschild.

Strike for Increase

Labor leaders pointed to increased prices ed by the operators and demanded 100 per cent wage

promptly jailed, and in September the Hochschild enterprises upped wages 15 per cent. In November, Vicente Lombardo Toledano, the

'|Mexican labor leader, took a ‘hand

in averting another strike at Potosi. Early in December, at Catavi, a Patino property, workers struck after unfruitful negotiations for more wages. On Dec. 21, some 7000 workers gathered for a mass demonstration, headed by women and children to ward off the expected fire from the troops. The Bolivian government claims that workers threw dynamite and threatened to take the police station armed with knives and staves. {Troops fired. 24 Are Killed

Allison Liquid-Cooled Engine, Joins WPB.

Norman H. Gilman, who designed and built ‘the first Allison liquidcool engine, has joined the Indianapolis war production board staff, it was announced today. Mr. Gilman, who has been living in retirement at Brownsburg for several years, was an associate of James Allison, Carl Fisher and A. C. Newby in developing the Allison plant, along with the Indianapolis Speedway. He joined Mr. Allison in 1917 as vice president and chief engineer of the Allison engineering plant. When Mr. Allison died in 1928 and General Motors bought the company, Mr. Gilman became president. In 1937 he retired. J. H. Frohlich, Indianapolis WPB manager, said Mr. Gilman’s work will be with war contractors; helping them solve technical matters, production planning, better use of machinery and equipment and, in general, brea 8 bottlenecks in war production. “It is extremely im Cit to the war program Gilman’s talents available and war industries should not hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity of using his services.”

GRAIN PRIGES HOLD “FIRM AT CHICAGO

CHICAGO, March 2 (U. P)— Grain futures moved within a narrow range on the Board of Trade

y. : In early dealings wheat was up 1% to off 3% cent a bushel; corn unchanged "at OPA ceilings; oats unchanged to off %, and rye off % to %. . Milling interests and commission | houses bought wheat, and houses with southwestern connections lig-

within a minor fraction of the previous levels. Grain circles and the OPA met today to work out a permanent corn ceiling, and traders expressed the hope that ceilings will be revised upward, possibly 5 cents a bushel to offset the,advance in parity.

ICKES URGES MORE WILDCAT DRILLING

WASHINGTON, March 2 (U. P)). —Petroleum Administrator Harold L. Ickes today urged the petroleum industry to drill a minimum of 4500 wildcat wells in 1943, an increase of 50 per cent over any prior year. Ickes asserted that since 1938 the volume of new crude oil reserves discovered in any one year “has not

consumed.” The administrator’ asserted that the United Staies fortunately had

“On even the niost liberal basis of estimation, discoveries did not exceecl 801,000,000 barrels. Even this liberal estimate is only 57 per cent of the volume. of crude oil actually consumed in 1942.”
