wherever a violation of law is disclosed to prosecute the violators. “The strikes and stoppages in the coal industry that have occurred and are threatened are clear violations of the ‘no-strike pledge’,” the president asserted. After branding the walkouts as strikes against the government itself, Mr. Roosevelt’s message continued: “These 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|-

Appeals to Miners “Not as president—not as com- | mander-in-chief—but as the friend of the men who work in the coal mines, I appeal to them to resume work immediately and submit their case to the national war labor board for final determination. “I have confidence in the patriotism of the miners. I am suré 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 the power vested in me as president | and as commander in chief of the i$ army and navy to protect the nagoa tional interest and to prevent #] further interference with the sucgi cessful prosecution of the war.” Secretary of War Henry L.

He said that the message had been 77 | transmitted at 10:30 a. m. to Lewis 7 | at the Hotel Biltmore and Kennedy

Unless some agreement is reached in Washington on the soft coal wage dispute, it appeared likely today that Indiana's 5000 coal miners would leave their jobs after the last shift tomorrow night. ‘Governor Schricker said today he was “anxious that nothing happen here that would cripple war .production.” He declined to comment further on the coal wage dispute.

8 of the .United Mine Workers yes=terday notified operators ‘of = the Brazil block coal field that the 1200 miners in the Brazil area would. quit work when the temporary agreement under which the miners and operators have been operating for the last month expires tomorrow night. Louis. Austin, president of District 11 of the U. M. W. at Terre Haute, previously had notified the

the famous mil-

at the Hotel Roosévelt in New York City. He recounted that the case had been certified to the war labor board and that the mine workers failed to recommend a panel member to investigate the facts. He asserted that the board’s appointment of David B. Robertson of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen to represent the employees, Walter White for the operators and Morris L. Cooke for the public assured an “impartial investigation of the facts” for the board’s determination of the controversy. The coal controversy has also reached the stage where congressional demands for restrictive labor laws begin. The house is in recess until next week, but Senator Tom

|Connally (D. Tex.), is expected to

seek unanimous consent of the senate today to consider his bill which would permit the government to seize any war plant or mine closed because of a labor dispute.

Move Toward Climax Events in the 2% months wage dispute moved quickly toward a climax during the last 12 hours—a climax that has been” anticipated here ever since Lewis denounced the war labor board and its “little steel” wage ceiling formula and demanded 2 $2-a-day increase for his miners. Lewis and Mr. Roosevelt now face a show-down. Confronted with Lewis’ deflance of its requests and orders, and with rapidly spreading “wildcat” strikes in four soft coal states, the WLB late yesterday submitted the dispute to President Roosevelt with what amounted to a tacit appeal for intervention to prevent a complete shutdown of the mines when the one-month extension of the current wage pact between the miners and operators expires at midnight tomorrow. Four hours later, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins appealed to Lewis and the U. M. W.'s policy committee to halt the wildcat strikes, Roane Waring,

all mander of the American Legion,

said in Memphis, Tenn., last night that Lewis’ alleged order for a coal walkout was “treason.” “There is no other word for it— it is treason and by the eternal God it should be treated as treason,” he said.

Chinese Residents Killed |

When Doolittle Landed, Morgenthau Says.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29 (U. P.).—Japanese troops, emulating the Germans in the massacre of

Lidice, slaughtered every resident, to “the last harmless child,” in Chinese coastal areas where many of Maj. Gen. James H. Doolittle’s fliers landed after bombing Tokyo, Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr., said: last night, Morgenthau was notified of the slaughter by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek of China in a cablegram arriving yesterday. He made it public in an address at the War Memorial opera house. Cites Dead Fliers

“Just a few days ago,” Morgenthau said, “we learned, with horror, that the Japanese had taken some of those gallant fighting men (Doolittle’s fliers), who were by all military law and precedent prisoners of war, and executed them. “Now, with a deep sense of shock and anger, I must bring you further news. I have here a cablegram which reached me this morning. It comes from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Let me read it to you.” The text of Chiang’s cablegram follows: “After they had been caught unawares by the falling of American bombs on Tokyo, Japanese troops attacked the coastal areas of China where many of the American fliers had landed. Killed Civilians

“These troops slaughtered every man, woman and child in those areas—let me repeat—these Japanese troops slaughtered every man, woman and child in those. areas, reproducing on a wholeesale scale the horrors which the world had seen at Lidice, but about which people have been uninformed in these instances. “The dastardly execution of these American fliers, who were taken prisoners of war, has made it clear to all Amgricans that we face an enemy who knows no codes of law or decency. The only language which such an enemy understands is that of the weapons of war, and in the bond campaign which you are pushing for the war ‘effort our people wish you all success,” Generalissimo Chiang made no mention of the number of Chinese slain by the Japanese, except indirectly in likening it to a reproduction “on a wholesale scale” of the Lidice massacre.
