U. S. Miners May Ignore Back To Work Order

Lewis Gives Command Under Federal flitting

(By Francis I. Kelly; WASHINGTON, Feb. 12—(APl— John L. Lewis late Saturday order- ed his striking soft coal miners to ‘Pt back on the job under a Taft- ilnrtley Law injunction, but some

union miners said flatly they wouldn't go back without a con- tract.

Lewis acted quickly tn com-

ilianre with a Federal court order issued a few hours after Presl- ilent Truman decided the "national health end safety" was endangered by the country-wide strike.

Lewis telegraphed district presi- ents of his United Mine Workers is scnd the 370.000 striking soft- mal (Iiggffl back to work “forth- with."

But in Illinois dlistrict president ilugh White said:

"As free American rlotiht very much If the 24.000 Illinois miners will go hack to work Monday. That's all I have to lay." The local at Robena, Pa, biggest in the U.M.W., had held a mass meeting after the court order rsme out and voted unanimously to disregard it. Then came Lewis’ Instructions.

"Rohena still says 'no'." John Oznnich, the local's president. said.

They quit last Monday, unan- nounced, after Lewis had spurned e Truman plan to have a three- tnan hoard study the dispute with operators. independent of the Taft- liartley Act and recommend a settlement. Lewis contended this would be to the miners’ disadvan-

tage. probably lcadlnt: to a Taft- ilartley injunction anyway. The Taft-Hartley Act contains

ihc machinery for an 80-day in- junction against a strike.

Drew Accuses Gov’t Of Hiding Essential Facts From Parliament

QUEBEC, Feb. l2 - (OP) -— Progressive Conservative leader George Drew bald here Saturday night the Government's conduct. has brought Canada "dangerously close to the point" where debate [in Parliament becomes meaning- ess.

Mr. Drew. addressing a. conven- tion of Quebec district party org- anizers. accused the Government of withholding "essential facts" from Parliament.

He said it had misrepresented Canada's ex-port. trading position. broken an undertaking that there would be no constitutional change without. consulting the Provinces and ignored the law over publica- tlon of the McGregor report on flour-milling.

In the case of the report o‘ an alleged millipg combine in Can- ada. the Progressive Conservative leader said:

"There is no reason tn believe we would ever have known about that report if Mr. McGIregor had not resigned as a result of the cond-nct of the Government."

Sneaking in French. Mr. Dre-w said the Govemment had shown no more respect for its undertak- invs rt-cardinv the constitution.

"In spite of its clear and uri- cuialified promise that there would bc no change in the constitution without consulting the Provincial Governments. stcns were take" durinv the last session. without constiltinrz any ‘Provincial Govern- ment, which provided for vcrv stir-- stflntlal amendments to our mn- stittttlon which could have far-

reeching effects upon the rights of the provinces."

He said that: on the trade sit. uation, the Ctovernment gave as- surances of confidence in Canada's overseas trade situation as recent’.- ly as December.

"You know- what has happened in two months." said Mr. Drew. "Our contracts with Great Britain for agricultural products have been tenninated or greatly reduced. As a direct result. prices for most farm products have dropped sharply. The Government has taken no steps to find alternative markets overseas.

"That. in tmrn. has resulted in flowing unemployment throughout the whole country. As the buying power of our farmers decreases and our overseas trade diminishes. there is an immediate effect on indust- rial emtnioymcnt,"

After his half-hour speech Mr. Drew told newspaper men he was in “entire agreement" with a dis- trict convention resolution calling for an inquiry into Federal public accmints.

The resolution called tor an in- qtlirv into Federal public ac- counts for th- last l0 wears and a second resolution called for a camnaicn to establish that the Govcrnment is avoiding its re- nonsibiiitics regarding “unemplov-

‘Y\’"‘l'li. and cmnlovmr-nt. in general."

COMBER. Ont... Feb. 12 ——(CPi — A woman farm manager was found bludgeoned to death in her home here Saturday night and a few hours later her farm tenant was killed by police investigating the slaying.

The woman was Mrs. Ellen Wal- lace. 48. found beaten to death on the floor of her kitchen when her husband came home at 7 pm. EST.

Fatally shot was 44-year-old Louis Raes, tenant on a farm which Mrs. Wallace managed as executor of an estate. Police said Raes attacked three officers with a hammer when they sought to question him.

Mrs. Wallace. believed killed by a kitchen chair which was found smashed near her body. managed a farm 20 miles south of this Southern Ontario town. It was learned that she had given Rae: notice to vacate the property by March 1 and had advertised for a new tenant.

Sgt. W. M. Dunford of the Ontario Provincial Police de- tachment at nearby Essex gave

this version of the Rates shooting: Three officers went to the farm to question Raes. As they ap-

preached. hc came out of the small house where he lived alone and attacked them with a ham- mer. During the ensuing strug- gle. a police bullet struck Raes in the head. He was taken to hos- pltal in Windsor. 30 miles west of Com-ber. where he died late lil the evening.

No details of Mrs. Wallace's death were available immediate- ly. A kitchen chain, apparently the death weapon. was found lying beside the body. A pool of blood was on the floor.

Police learned of the eviction notice given to Raes during their lengthy questioning of William Wallace. the middle-aged hus- band who found the body. They sald he was armed with a steel- headed hammer. All three of- ficers were said to have fired warning shots over Raes‘ head be- fore the fatal shot struck him in the head.

Expect Long, Eiqvely Session Of Parliament t

. t By D'Arcy O'Donnell l OTTAWA, Feb. 12 —- (CP) — If advance signs are any indica- tion. the second session of Can-i

ada's 21st Parliament, opening Thursday, will bc active and lengthy. l

The Government has maintain- ed customary silence on ihc legis- lation it plans to introduce. but tipposiiion parties have indicated iherc are many things they wan‘. to discuss. .

George Drew. Progressive Con-i servative leader. said in an in-x terview that he has made it a practice not to anticipate what may happen at a session. How- ever. his recent statements and speeches have indicated that he will criticize the Government's trade and employment policies and what he tertns its "com- placency" in dealing with Com- munist activitics in Canada.

M. J. Caldwell. C.C.F. leader, said he also plans to bring up the question of loss of trade markets

and of "increasing" unemploy- mcnt. Solon Low. Social Credit lead-

er.- in a recent speech recommend- ed adoption of his party's finan- cial theories as an antidote to the loss of markets and the unem- ployment problem.

Mr. Coldwell said he will in- quire into the fuel shortage which caused the Canadian Na- tional Railways to curtail pass- enger service.

The C. C. F. will press for the reasons behind the resignations of Ross McLean. National Film Board commissioner". and his exc- cutivc assistant. Ralph Foster.

Mr. Coldwell said he will ask External Affairs Minister Pear- son for a full report. on the inter- national situation and on the pos- sibility of closer co-operation among Canada. the United States

"In my opinion," said Churchill. “Billy this llllllcy can save the people of Britain from mass un- employment. maintain the social services and prevent a grievous fall in the standard of living."

In the ‘vanguard of Labor lead- ers reacting vigorously to this "blue-print." was Sir William Lawther, president of the National Union of Mine Workers.

In an addres at Loughiborough.

Lawther said: “Judge tlhe Tories by their performances and not by their promises. Never again ix‘ sensrble men and women trust such false friends." _ Labor ‘expects to retain power-l in_ the view of many supporters-J with possibly less than half the Party's previous majority of near- ly 200.

Conservative leaders predict that Churchill will get the ver. dict with a big enough majority; to form a government without‘ allies. i

Leaders of the once-dominant Liberal Party. who had only 10 House of Commons seats in the Parliament just dissolved, think their 450-candidate effort may confound both prcphesigg and give them the balance of power in the next government.

t A large increase in egg con- sumption and the reported stup- ping of eggs to a new market. have practically eliminated the egg sur- plus in other parts of the Domin- ion. it was learned from Mr. F. M. Nash. District Manager Pottltry Products. . He stated that egg consumption- at tlhe low price level increased by‘ 50 per cent in many areas and in some as high as 75 per cent as compared to consumption at high levels. ‘ A large increase was rcportedl by several local retail stores. One store reported a 100. per cent in- crease of egg sales at their low- est level compared to sales when Grad-e A eggs were selling for 63 cents per dozen. The latest in- crease in prices resulted in a five per cent sales decrease from the peak reached at the low level. The new market reported to be opened up was Switzerland. It was thought that one and probably two carloads of Canadian eggs had been shipped to the Alpine country. Several other countries have also shown on interest in Canadian eggs.
