In a letter to McNutt, Murray said the democratic procedure established under those agreements had been negated by the’ job-freeze order. “Further,” he said, “your directive merely séeks to prevent workers from obtaining a fair wage for their work ...”

fronts, and has been conserving her best manpower - divisions for the battle of Europe.” For that reason, he said, he was deeply concerned over the feeling of the average citizen that “our victory in this war is all wrapped up and ready fo be delivered.” = “The war in Africa is just a preliminary,” he continued. “Hitler

I have stood with bowed and uncovered head beside the endless rows of fresh crosses on African soil. There will be many thousands more of such crosses before the flags of freedom will wave in triumph over Tunis and Bizerte. We must not lose sight of the grim fact that the end of the war in Africa will mark only the beginning of the battle of Europe. “The battle of Europe will be fought on a vaster and deadlier scale.”

WLB ASSUMES MINE DISPUTE

Leader John L. Lewis Must Decide Today Whether To Defy Board.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 23.-John L. Lewis must take a great decision by tomorrow morning: Whether to submit the miners’ wage demands peaceably to the national war labor board, which he says he hates, or to attempt to use the bludgeon of a- nation-wide coal strike in wartime. The long controversy, freed after four weeks from the futile mediatory efforts of Labor Secretary Frances Perkins and Conciliation Director John R. Steelman,’ is row moving swiftly. The war labor board: quickly accepted jurisdiction, and it has called a meeting here tomorrow of spokesmen for the United Mine Workers and the northern and southern groups of operators.

Time Growing Short

This meeting will be. exploratory as to issues, and decisive as to procedure. An adjournment is probable over Easter Sunday, and the actual hearing of the case is likely to begin early next week—assuming that Mr. Lewis will submit to a board which on March 15 he said was not fit to handle the welfare of “a yellow dog.” After Sunday only five days will be left before May 1 for the board to dispose of this case, which will tell. whether the; administration’s anti-inflation policies stand or fall. The present extension of contract will expire April 30. The WLB is expected to ask more time. + Ominous signs are appearing already. In Pennsylvania six mines owned by steel mills have been shut down or curtailed. They produce about
