Hitchcock Says Incidental Hauling Not a Danger To Deferment.

The 2-C or 3-C classifications of : farmers are not endangered by in- | eidental hauling of livestock or agri-| §

cultural ycommodities, state draft beadquarters announced today. It was explained that certain local ‘boards and some registrants have interpreted draft. regulations to mandate that a registrant with a farm deferment not deviate even temporarily from what is generally eonsidered full-time farm work. Consequently, some registrants who formerly hauled livestock and foodstuffs for themselves and their neighbors as occasion required have now stored their trucks because they fear such activity might en- - danger their farm deferments.

Might Affect Production

Col. Robinson Hitchcock, draft board head, said that this sit~uation has reflected on the possible crop production in a few Indiana eommunities. Some farmers, he said, are reluctant to commit themselves to tomato acreages because they fear that local trucks will not be avail=

able to haul the crop to markets or| :

canneries. “After conferring with L. Marshall Vogler, state’ head of the U. S. D. A. war boards, Col. Hitchcock issued the following statemeint: “I do not believe it is the intention of national selective service regulations to create caution in farmers to the extent that their activities will be lessened.

“Can Do Both” “Obviously, a good farmer can earry on his full-time farm work and in addition can haul his own produce and that of his neighbors to market without decreasing his work on his own farm. Local boards

are required to exercise vigilance to}-

see that a registrant deferred for agricultural reasons is regularly - engaged in agricultural work, but they may use discretion in allowing a farmer to haul seasonal crops, etc. 0. The draft head said that men primarily engaged in custom hauling and having only incidental agricultural activities are not eligible for * @gricultural deferment. On the other hand, he ‘said, these men may be considered by local board for occupational deferments in class 2-A if they are contributing to the war effort and if satisfactory replacements cannot currently be found.

MINE ACCORD STILL SNAGGED

Both Sides No Nearer

An Agreement.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer

ago the United Mine Workers and the bituminous coal operators began negotiations here on higher wages and other betterments for the miners, the situation containing a muffled threat from U. M. W. President John L. Lewis that he might back up the demands by tying up the coal industry. Today both sides agree that the miners and their employers are no nearer an agreement. than on March 10. The only progress has been an understanding, entered into at request of President Roosevelt, that negotiations be continued beyond March 31, when the old contract ran out, under an arrangement that any revisions of wage scales and coal prices will be made retroactive to April 1. The president’s ‘request set no time limit, but the extension agreed upon is for, 30 days.

Steelman at Work

Attempts at mediation are being made by Dr. John R. Steelman, director of the labor department’s conciliation services, but under circumstances that make it mechanically

highly improbable withdrawal by Mr. Lewis from his wage demands) the controversy can be settled only by intervention of a federal agency with powers of arbitration in behalf of the national interest. That would be, as Mr. Roosevelt

bor board—an agency which the U. M. W. chieftain has declared he intends to avoid, and also break. April marches on, with every day bringing that much nearer a national crisis lover the question of whether Mr. Lewis can use the power of his nearly 600,000 members to smash the national administration’s anti-inflation program. This could be the long-expected showdown between the president of the United States and ‘the president of the United Mine Workers. Use Newspaper Ads ‘The mine workers began today a campaign of newspaper advertising indicating they did not expect an immediate end to what operators call” a stalemate. The union, in large paid announcements in about 50 newspapers (first of a series), gave the opening installment of “The American Coal Miner’s Story.” “We are not threatening,” said the advertisement. “We are not trying to _throw America into a spirit of -inflation. We are trying with might and main to do everything we can to help win thé war. quickly. We, too, have sons, daughters and relatives. in all branches of the armed services. We just ask for common decency and the right to earn enough to support ourselves while we work.” * This advertisement did not change the. general - opinion here that the answer to the miners’ plea must be given in Washington and not in New : York.

‘The Indianapolis chapter of the American Association of Social Workers went on record today in favor of the social security program outlined recently by the national resources planning board. Miss Helen Sanders, local chapter chairman, said Indianapolis social workers have indorsed the telegram sent to President Roosevelt recently by Miss Grace L, Coyle, president of the American Association of Social Workers. “The association heartily supports your action in suggesting to congress the need for improvement and extension of the nation’s security and work-relief programs,” the telegram stated. “The stress and strain of war have ‘aroused the American people as never before to the appfeciation of the need for social security, health and community services.”

programs advocated by the association for many years are receiving the increased support from civic groups.
