OGDENSBURG, N. Y., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1943 PRICE FIVE CENTS ALLIED AERIAL DRIVE HITS NEW PEAK Lewis Sends Miners Back To Pits Until November NpStd Center Operators Protest Main Coal Issues Still Unsettled Washington —(AP)—- The Unit- ed Mine Workers decision to dig coal for the government until Oct. 31 ended the nation's third general wartime strike today, but opera- tors and others protested that the main issue was merely postponed, not settled. The back-to-work order of UMW President John L. Lewis and his Policy Committee was conditional, and a prolonged fight was fre- shadowed. Besides fixing a new albeit more distant deadline, Lew- is told the government in effect that if it wanted coal it could not restore direction of the mines to their owners. A statement issued in behalf of the Applachian operators declared the action of the TJMW Policy Com- mittee \is in direct violation of the War Labor Board's (WLB) direc- tive of June 18. \If the President,\ said the op- erators, referring to Mr. Roose- velt, \permits the mines to be op- erated tinder the terms laid down by John L. Lewis, the main issue goes unresolved. Nothing te settled. The present strike is merely post- poned. The main question now is, can Mr. Lewis continue to defy the sole agency designed by the United States government to make final determinations in labor dis- putes.\ The immedate reaction of WLB Chairman William H. Davis to the miners' decision was expressed in these -word's: . /'L.take-Mr.. Lewis' statement to mean that the production of coal will be resumed under the con- ditions ordered by the War Labor Board,' and I think that's all the country is interested in. It appears that the new deadline is hal- lowe'en when pumpkins freighter! children. Technically Lewis was still in de- fiance of the board. He refused to sign the contract as directed, call- ing it \an infamous yellowdog con- tract,\ even though it appeared he was accepting the wage terms of that contract. » A well-placed source said nation- alization of the mines, as such, was not contemplated, and the opera- tors would be continued as managers for the government, al- though stricter supervision would be required. { War Spotlight Turns To Italy Salerno Rail Yards Left Flaming Ruins At a Glance The War PACIFIC FRONT New Guinea Allied Headquarters in North Af- rica — (AP)— Sweeping in with heavy bomb loads less than 12 hours after American bombers had jolted the same targets by day- light, Wellingtons \of \the RAF smashed at Salerno Monday night in a continuation of Allied efforts to knock out the underpinnings of Mussolini's supply system for Australian troops beat off sharp Japanese thrust in New Guinea jungles, kill 100 enemy soldiers; U.

RAF Not To Bomb Rome If Open City London—(AP)—An RAF com- mentator made clear today that Rome could be removed definitely and permanently from under the threat of Allied bombjng only if it were made an open city and the United Nations were convinced it was not participating in the Axis war effort.

It was apparent the duel for pow- er between the two leaders and their factions would be quickly re- sumed following a communique settlement yesterday continuing the status quo in military control. Giruadists indicated they were insisting recruiting be on a ter- ritorial basis thereby excluding the Fighting French from drawing manpower from North Africa. De Gaullists declared not only were they threatened with a \freeze out\ in North Africa -where they asserted many civilians want- ed to join the Fighting French, but also those .escaping from France \were being, channeled into the North African army.
