Radios to Carry Coal Appeal

Willing Workers Offered Protection By DICK THORNBURG

Scripps-Howard Staff Writer - WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—The first

: step in the government's plan to

mine coal will be an attempt to uade miners to return to work, it was learned today. : The government will use the newspapers, the radio and personal talks in its campaign. President Truman himself will speak on the radio. The general theme of the appeal will be: THAT the same wages and working conditions of the violated contract will continue if the men re-

| turn.

THAT the contract was the best the miners had ever won (an average of $62 a week for 42.4 hours work, plus a welfare and retirement fund and other concessions over previous contracts). THAT it would have been impossible to grant the demands made by John L. Lewis. THAT this is a strike against their government. THAT any miner who wishes to return to work will be protected

from violence and from reprisals, |

now or later. THAT the nation faces economic collapse if it doesn’t get coal, a collapse which will ruin the miners along with the rest of the country.
