disregarded and that the cost of]
living has gone up disproportionately in mining areas, I have directed OPA to make an immediate investigation of the facts and wherever a violation of the law is disclosed by that investigation, to see that the violators of the law -are prosecuted. The strikes and stoppages in the coal industry that have occurred and are threatened are in clear violation of the “no strike” pledge. These are not mere strikes against employers -of this industry to enforce collective bargaining demands. They are strikes against the United| 2¢ States government itself. The strikes are a direct interference ‘with the prosecution of the war. They challenge the governmental machinery that has been set up for the orderly and peaceful settlement of all labor disputes. They challenge the power of the government to carry on the war. The continuance and spread of these strikes would have the same effect on the course of the war as a crippling defeat in the field.
PRODUCTION MUST CONTINUE
The production of coal must continue. Without coal our war industries cannot produce tanks, guns and ammunition for our armed forces. Without these weapons our sailors on the high seas and our armies in the field will be helpless against our enemies. I am sure that the men who work
lin the coal mines, whose sons and
brothers are in the armed forces, do not want to retard the war effort to which they have contributed so
other Americans have so much at
stake. Not as president—not as com-
Lmander-in-chief—but as the friend
of . the ‘men who work in the coal mines, I appeal to them to resume work immediately and submif their case to the national war labor board for final determination.
ENEMY. WILL NOT WAIT
I have confidence in the patriotism of the miners. I am sure that when they realize the effect that stopping work at this time will have upon our boys at the front, they
| will return to their jobs.
The. enemy will not wait while strikes ‘and stoppages run their course. Therefore, if work at the ‘mines is not resumed by 10 o’clock Saturday morning, I shall use all the power vested in mie as president and as commander-in-chief of the army and navy to protect the national ‘interest and to prevent further interference with the suc-
cessful Prosecution of the war.

erected during the war for the ‘training of American youth. ‘He said the present training programs—for military service and industrial employment——were prodiicing a vast improvement in the| health afid mental alerfness of the
Ml | nation and that the country did not
want a net loss on the training fa-
| cilities’ for which millions have been
spent. Mr. Roosevelt was asked whether’ this = indicated he was ‘thinking in terms of continuing the training programs after the war. He said that it did, but he indi-
cated he had no definite plan in
mind; just the question of how the nation’s wartime machinery to train youth should be used in peacetime. The president also was impressed by the advances made by the armed forces and industry since his last trip. He said he returned to the White House with increased confidence about the showing the American forces and equipment will make in the forthcoming battle of Europe.
Scores Mild War Spirit
As in the case of his western inspection trip last fall, the president returned to the White House
Washington as compared with the country at large. He said he found two things that the country had that Washington did not have: 1. A sense of proportion. The people outside Washington, he explained, know- they are in a war and understand this fact. They do not magnify what he called the wrong things which are of relatively minor importance. 2. A sense of perspective. Mr. Roosevelt said he found throughout the country a tendency toward correct evaluation of world events and actual combat developments which he found lacking in Washington.
Temper More Sober
The whole temper of the country, he added, is far more sober,
far more intelligent than the atti-|
tude of some parts of Washington.
After bidding Camacho good-by|
at Corpus Christi, Tex., the president went first to Ft. Worth, Tex.,
April 22, for a day of relaxation at 5 the ranch of his son, Elliott, who|
is on duty in Africa as a colonel with the army air force. The first insepction stop after Ft. Worth was at Camp Carson, Colo., where the president got a first-hand view of the new rocket gun, the “bazooka,” a lethal instrument in fighting tanks. He also went to Denver the same day to inspect an army hospital, the air station at Lowry field and the Denver ordnance plant where Remington Arms is turning out .30-caliber ammunition.
He spent Easter with the troops)
at Ft. Riley, Kas. The next day he toured the Glenn L. Martin airPlake assembly plant at’ Omaha, Ne
WASHINGTON, April 29 (U. P.). —The navy today reported an American naval task force bombardment of Japanese positions of Attu island in the Aleutians and a de-
|| structive air attack on Tarawa, ene-
my air base in the Gilbert island group in’ the South Pacific. Enemy installations at: Holtz bay and Chichagof harbor at Attu, westarnmost of the ' Aleutians, were pounded by the naval guns and several fires were started. ‘There was no reply from any enemy guns ashore. The attack, made last Saturday, was the second surface raid on those Aleutian positions. The first ‘was made on Feb. 18. Army bombers participated in the Tarawa raid and caused “extensive damage” to installations at the air base. The attack was made last Friday. It was carried out in the face of énemy fighter plane opposition and anti-aircraft, fire, but all our planes returned.
