pages in any one of a number of important fields—for instance, in the coal industry—could seriously delay our progress. Housing, too, is an immediate problem requiring immediate action.” Mr. Truman made a formal statement on the Snyder report at his news conference, ' then departed from his prepared text to discuss a number of troublesome aspects of the current economic picture. Under questioning, he said a prolonged coal strike — which began Monday—would constitute a knockout blow to the current progress of reconversion. He recalled that the winter steel strike cost the nation 7,000,000 tons of finished steel—about one-ninth of the nation’s annual production. Agreement Sought He reported .that the labor department has its mediators now working diligently with the striking miners and the coal operators in an effort to reach dn agreement. After Mr. Truman characterized the Snyder report as the best pos-

sible answer to talk that the wage- |

price policy was impeding reconversion, reporters wanted to know | where this record civilian produc- | tion was going. One reporter raised the point that the goods, which according to Snyder were being produced in record volume, were not being well distributed. The President tain individual items suffered from maldistribution, particularly ol as one example: He then pointed out that the! record production came at a time |

when the shelves of most merchants |

wefe empty and their inventories at unprecedented low levels. | By way of illustration, he said | it required 32,000 new automobiles ! to put one automobile in the hands of each dealer h desler lof display now.

treasurer of the faction, presented a statement in behalf of Mr. Mote, publisher of “American Preferred,” monthly propaganda pamphlet. The statement said: “It is a fool libel to charge me with hating Catholics, Jews and Negroes. I do despise left-wing Catholics, Jews and Negroes and there my antipathy ends. The Scripps-Howard newspapers have been printing repeated and malicious lies about me.” Delegate Booth said he had conferred with officers of the American Farmers Vigilante committee of Edgar, Neb, and “some Pennsylvania organization” whose name he was unable to remember, He said “we're anxious to unite with anybody who will fight for cost of production for the farmer.” . Raps ‘Strike Ideas’ Ariother delegate, H. 8S. Avery of Romney, said the Vigilante's committee would be acceptable to the Mote farm faction ¥if they'd drop those damn fool strike ideas.” Seven Anderton, secretary of the Farmers Vigilante’s committee yesterday in Hebron, O., demanded a nation-wide farm strike May 1 if OPA isn't abolished and several other drastic governmental steps taken. He was not present at to-

i | day's “national convention” in In-

dianapolis but he had previously conferred here -with Mr. Motes “board of directors” on March 13.

Denies Mote Has ‘Control’

In a resolution, the delegates emphatically denied that Mr. Mote had “gained control” of the organization. The resolution declared: “Incensed at the policies of internal disruption and external inertia and confronted with a steadily dwindling membership under Robert Spencer's (preceding guild president) domination, representatives contacted Mr. Mote and asked if he could be induced to accept the presidency of the national guild. “Only after long and deliberate consideration did Mr. Mote state that he would not refuse to serve if elected, but that he would do nothing whatever to secure his own election. , . - At the convention held at Greenville, O, in December, 1944, in spite of active opposition of Spencer and his cronies. . .

Other major developments: ONE: Leaders of striking Detroit transit workers called a mass meeting of the 5200 operators for today, but did not indicate whether the workers would participate in a back-to-work vote. The Amalgamated Association of Street Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees rejected a compromise offer of a 15-cent hourly raise. The union is asking 18 cents. At Akron, Mayor Charles Slusser asked striking transportation workers and the company to attempt tw settle the three-day walkout which has halted the city’s public transportation system. At Lansing, Mich, tervene in a threatened strike of Lansing bus drivers if company and union officials fail to reach agreement on difficulties at a meeting with federal and state labor mediators tomorrow.
