time to have a confract than ever in the history of the U. M. W. A, as far as I know.” “They can’t live on promises,” he added. “The government’s taking over the coal mines is a sham. There have been no inspections, no checks. It is too bad. at a time like this but what are we going to do about it. We might as well have the showdown now.”

In the center of Pennsylvania's vast bituminous field near Uniontown, several miners expressed open defiance of the president’s order even to the possible use of troops. “Troops? one of the men said. “Why just bring them in here and see what happens. And you can also tell any scabs who staxt back to work to watch out.” John Karscur, employed at the Filbert mine of the H. C. Frick Coke Co., charged that. “if Roosevelt forces us back hell be a dictator.” “And those guys on the war labor board,” he said, “why they never did a day’s work in their lives while John L. Lewis started out in the coal mines.”

Indiana Miners Defiant

At Springfield, Ill, Hugh White, vice president of the U. M. W. in Illinois; said that “President Roosevelt’s order won’t send many of Illinois’ 23,000 U. M. W. members back to work Monday.” In Ohio, the state’s 25,000 U. M. W. members were awaiting word from Lewis before returning to the pits. The situation was the same in Indiana. There was no reaction, however, by union officials to draft réclassification orders by the governors: of Tennessee and Alabama.’ Governor Prentice Cooper of Tennessee specifically ordered all striking coal miners of draft age to be reclassified. The order by Governor Chauncey Sparks referred to “all men with occupational deferments” who do not return to work by 3 p. m.

today.

His order- apparently was directed at those of the 21,000 striking. coal miners who are of draft age. The loss ‘of ' 2,250,000 tons’ ‘of bituminods. and 183,000 - tons: of anthracite each day since the strike started at Monday midnight began to. show effects in war industries. The Republic Steel Corp. reported that- one of its two blast furnaces at Birmingham, Ala... had been forced to shut down because of an inadequate coal supply. The company said that the other furnace also would have to be banked within another day or two. The coal shortage also forced the American Window Glass Co. to close its Belle Vernon, ‘Pa., plant, throwing several hundred men out of work. : A slowdown on anti-strike legislation aimed primarily at the coal work stoppage is expected in the house today.It will come when the chamber takes up a series of modifying amendments to the drastic SmithConnally bill to outlaw jurisdictional disputes, boycotts and sympathy strikes in all war plants. Administration lgaders, claiming new support, pressed a drive to substitute legislation confining the restrictions to the coal mines and other plants seized by the government in the war emergency. : They favor a slightly-modified version of the original senate-ap-proved Connally bill whic! would deny strike benefits and unemploy-

ment compensation: to idle workers

Reports: that the allied strategy is a direct thrust to the coasts of Italy and France across Sicily, Pantelleria and Sardinia. 3. The smashing of an enemy convoy a few miles off Cape Spartivento in southeastern Italy. 4. Reports that guerrilla activity and sabotage in axis-occupied Europe were increasing. Jugoslav sources in London learned that the heaviest fighting yet between German forces and patriots was raging in Jugoslavia. Danish sources reported a new wave of sabotage in Denmark, presumably to destroy industry working for the Germans to prevent allied bombings. A state of expectancy and nervous tension was said to have gripped all Italy, with the population fearing imminent landings on the island outposts and perhaps the mainland itself.

Isle Pounded 27 Days

Pantelleria, midway between Tunisia and Sicily, remained under a state of urgent alarm. ‘Medium and fighter-bombers joined in the renewed air and sea offensive against Pantelléria, bombing it yesterday for the 27th consecutive day. It was revealed belatedly today that twin-engined Wellington heavy bombers of the RAF bombed Naples Tuesday night. Bombs were seen to burst among port buildings and industrial plants. The withdrawal of planes from Sicily to the Italian mainland was believed prompted by a desire to save them from the rain of allied bombs, and perhaps to prevent them from falling into allied hands in the event of a successful invasion. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's Northwest Africa air forces have steadily been whittling down axis air power in the Mediterramean and now have reached the point where allied ‘bombers report only minor apposition in - their forays over Italy, Sicily and Cardinia. A total of 337 axis planes were shot down by Eisenhower's fliers last month in-addition to those downed by the Middle Eastern command and those destroyed on the ground by both groups. It is probable that the axis is hoarding its remaining aircraft for a desperate attempt. to fend off the impending allied invasions in the Mediterranean theater. Meanwhile, the Italian press and radio were telling of the Italian people that everything has been done -to thwart landing attempts. The harbor-bound Italian fleet was said to be waiting with steam up to sail on a moment’s notice, Vessel Explodes Only a small force of allied destroyers took part in the maneuver that smashed an enemy gonvoy a few miles off Cape Spartivento in southeastern Italy yesterday. The allied destroyer flotilla, including a unit of the Greek navy, encountered the enemy convoy less than 20 miles off Cape Spartivento. When the axis ships scurried for cover under a relentless pounding by allied guns, two merchantmen and an escorting torpedo boat had been lost and a destroyer had been driven ashore in flames. Neither allied planes nor ships suffered damage or casualties yesterday, the second. straight day of both naval and air action in the Mediterranean, allied headquarters announced today. One of the axis convoy freighters sunk was believed to have been an ammunition ship. Struck by numerous allied shells, the vessel caught fire and then exploded “like

Petting Party Probe Continues

Investigations of a group of 14 and 15-year-old boys and girls who allegedly played strip poker and mad petting parties in the home of one" of the boys were continuing today. The parties were revealed by the bby, 15, after his mother turned him over to police when she found 30 packages of cigarets’ in his room. He had been placed in her custody after confessing to earlier thefts, and yesterday told Detective William Britton he burglarized two groceries since then. He said the girls and boys came to his house for the parties when his mother was in Kentucky and St. Louis. About seven boys and four or five girls are involved.

MINERS IN INDIANA AWAIT UNION ORDER

By UNITED PRESS Striking United Mine workers members in Indiana and Kentucky were non-committal today on whether they would comply with President Roosevelt's back-to-work order. Spokesman for most of the disfricts indicated they.were awaiting word from higher officials now in Washington to attend national conferences of the U. M. W. policy committee. J. M. Luther of Clay City, Ind, secretary of District 8, said the situation in the Indiana block coal fields was uncertain. ¢ “The 400 U. M. W. members in our district want to work, but they want their contract, too,” Luther said. : Curtis Nicholson, vice president and spokesman. for District 11 at Terre Haute, Ind., said that he had not studied President ‘Roosevelt's order closely as yet but that' in his opinion the miners would probably remain out until ordered back by the union.

CHALLENGE RIGHT T0 LIGENSE RINKS

The city’s right to regulate and license roller skating rinks was challenged in an injunction suit heard yesterday in circyjt court.

to the size of the vessel or the other |"

Ed Knight, attorney for Wilber P. Fuller, operator of a rink at 25th and Ethel sts., is seeking to enjoin the city from enforcing either of two roller rink ordinances placing restrictions on rink locations. One of these, enacted in April, requires rink owners to obtain permission - for their establishment from all churches, schools or hospitals located within 300 feet of skating emporiums. Members of the 25th Street Bap-

'tist church, 25th st. and Indianapolis

ave., have pratested that Mr. Fuller failed to observe the ordinance in erecting his rink within a block of the church. Mr. Fuller has been issued a temporary restraining order to allow continued operation of

the rink during trial of the suit.

Attorney Knight has contested the validity of roller rink regulation ordinances on grounds that no state legislation has ever granted the city permission to license or control rinks. He further charges that the delegation of “zoning powers” to churches, schools and hospitals “is altogether out of bounds.” Henry Krug is representing the city. ; :

“I have said that ‘my office will not close any place or make raids unless I first have an affidavit signed by a citizen and I'm still sticking to that policy,” Sheriff Petit said. Meanwhile, other gambling casinos, ranging from highly-staked dice games to roulette, continued to flourish unmolested in all sections of the county.

' ‘Ridiculous,’ Says Petit

Reports have persisted from reliable sources for several weeks that some county officials were backing at least two gambling ventures. Sheriff Petit emphatically denied that any member of his organization was connected in any way with gambling activities. “That’s ridiculous—we have too many other things to worry about,” he said. ; One casino near Oaklandon and Lawrence on Road 67 reputedly has a gross turn-over of between $10,000 and $15,000 nightly. Roulette wheels are spinning merrily at a spot on the southeastern edge of the city.

Juror Is Investigating

One member of the county grand jury who would not permit his name to be used said he is making a personal investigation of the gambling situation in the county. “I may turn over to other members of the jury information that I obtain personally in a tour of gambling places,” he said. How-
