ierent union groups — not binding on the parties — call for a wors week shortened to 44 hours with hourly pay increased but not eli- oush to live the same take-homo pay as the employees now get for 48 hours.

The unions had asked for a so- hour week with the same weekly pay as employees now get, 13: dd. dition, they wanted increases of lo cents an hour in the use of one union group and seven cents an hour for the other gmup,

One of them wanted the com. palsy to collect dues for the unions — the checkoff ... and this also was turned down in the majority reports.

Generally, the effect of the board recommendations would be um: employees would gain four hours a week and give up about an hour's pay.

However. if they continued to work 48 hours under the 44-hour week. their earnings would be boosted through overtime pay.

One group, would come in for a straight pay increase under the Proposals. About 20.000 "back shop" employees, who now work (4 hours, would gain $3.5d a week through the increased hourly pay.

The proposed increase per hour would be 83 cents. On the present average hourly pay of $1.02. this would be an increase oi 0.6 per cent.

The proposal works out to about the same increase per hour as conciliation -boards recommended during a railway wage disput in 1948. That seven-cent. finding was rejected by the men. who were on the point of a general strike when a 17-cents-an-hour settlement was

But it is clear that the pro- B/ussian leaders have prevailed over the moderates again. Re- lations with the West are more remote than ever. Whether Rus- sia engineered it or not. Russia wins.

Demand Better Coal From British Mines

LONDON, April 16-—tCP) — A new drive against "dirty" coal has started in Britain's national- ized mines.

Philip Noel-Baker. in his first major speech as fuel minister, told the House of Commons count- ry-wide instructions hh\I been is- sued ln an effort to reduce the quantity of slate in coal.

He promised a redouifed drive at the pits for "cleaner filling, bet- ter lighting and bettrr manning of the picking belts."

Conferences will be held amo:-g coal officials and merchants. on.- result, British newspaters specul- ated, may be in ruling allowing consumers to buy coal where they like. instead of being "tied" to one merchant as at present. Noel-Baker said he recognizes dirty coal as a "keniune grievance." I

..R.. 5. Hudson. Conservative mem- ber for southport, said that under private enterprise pit managers were broadly responsible for poor coal. finder nationalization. the individual could obtain no af.'ect- ivo redress.

Noel-Baker gave two reasons for dirty coal. one was that thinner and dirtler seams are being work- ed. The second was that private owners installed machinery for cutting coal but did not provide enough for washing and cleaning. Col. 0. G. hancaster, - vu

(Buffalo Bill, or William Nei- erick Cody. was born in isivb. 11195 in 1911. His early life was spent among Indians and he served as a Union Scout in the United states Civil war. His nickname came from contracts he made to supply buf- ialo meat for railway workers and troops in the American west.)

Cody gave him a Job as a cow- hand. Later, when Buffalo Bill started his famous wlid west show, Caribou went along.

Caribou speaks fondly of Calam- ity Jane. He says she found him in a gambling hall where he wand- ered by mistake, teamed his story. gave him food and lodging and next day took him to Cody's ranch. He always came back from trips abroad to wherever she was living.
