started up the Taft-Hartley legul machinery by naming a three-man board of inquiry. He directed it w report. not later than next Monday.

When It brings htm the facts of the coal dispute. Truman can. under the act. at once send Attorney-Gen. era! Howard McGrath into court to ask for the order directing the union to halt the strike for 80 days.

Whether the miners will obey this injunction ls the next big question.

Failure to conform with a court order under the Taft-Hartley low can be punished as contempt. The U.M.W. and Lewis have been fined (vi-ice for this offence, B, total of 82.130000.

One strong hope forpence lay in the make-up of the TaftrHartley fact-finding board named by Tru- man. The men, veteran labor arbit- rators. are:

David I... Cole. Paterson. N. J.. lair-yer. chairman. He headed e slin- ilar board in 1948 which settled a hitter contract argument between Iewfs and the operators by getting them together. This headed off an ‘rijunction.

John Dunlop of Harvard Univ- erslty Business School. who was ac. live behind the scenes in settling innumerable liibor arguments dur- lllg and after the svar.

W. Willard Wirtz. Northewestern University lniv professor and former chairman of the Wage Stabilization Board.

Truman acted while sonic 372.500 U. M.W. soft-coat diggers already were on strike. Another 40.000 are tinder contracts which Lewis has mnnaized to obtain in recent weeks.

Until today's full-scale strike Trunirin struck to his contention that a national emergency had not yet; arrived to justify use of the Tnft-H-nrtley Act. which his admin- istration is pledged to repeal.

On s tip from the F.IB.I., Scot- land Yard agents seized Fuchs in Britain last Friday and jailed him for allegedly passing hydrogen bomb data. and other vital atomic secrets tn Moscow. .
