MINERS’ MOURING PERIOD IS OVER (Continued From Page (hie) ficials were cautious in predicting whether their members would re enter the pits but scattered re ports fiom Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia and Kentucky showed definitely that little coal, if any, would be produced until Lewis flashes the go-ahead. PITTSBURGH, April 7—(Mon day) — (/P) — The nation’s 400,000 soft coal miners ended a six-day mourning period at one minute past midnight today, but only a part of the diggers were likely to return to the pits until the U. S. says they’re safe. John L. Lewis, bushy-browed United Mine Workers’ chief, call ed the holiday in memory of the 111 Centralia (111.) blast victims— but it was still too early to say exactly how many mines would reopen or how many miners would resume work. Most of the 2,531 pits start the vork-day at six or seven a.m. However, miners who work mid night shifts seldom go down the shafts at that hour following a shutdown or strike. They wait for a maintenance and safety check. Full-scale resumption of indus trially-vital soft coal production seemed out of the question.

By then if there are any folks left they will be pretty busy, for every citizen of the world will be turning out trillion bil lions of letters each and every 24 hours to keep the chain going.

According to the adamant com missioner, who felt that the two day on the scene investigation of the home was tended to make a “hero” of superintendent Carter, today’s meeting of the board will hear charges of waste as well as unkind treatment of the inmates. Superintendent Carter, who con tends that he has nothing but re spect for Commissioner Trask, has said that he will be at to day’s meeting “merely to defend myself” against the insinuations expected to be hurled by Long and Mrs. Livingston. Commishioner Trask’s demands for additional witnesses to be heard by the cdunyt board came following last Wednesday’s ahd Thursday’s hearing* at the home. There with the exception of a few inmates, both Superintendent Carter and his wife, who is the head matron, received nothing but praise for their administra tion of the institution. Quick to sense that the probe was going against his conten tions, Commissioner Trask, who has been a member of the county commissioners for 29 years and heads the county home commit tee, has threatened to resign from the committee should no action be taken by his colleague* on the cimmission. The full-dress probe, which fol lowed on the heels of Commission er Trask’s original charges at last Monday’s session of the board, has been presided over by Chairman Addison Hewlett, who will also preside at today’s meet ing of the commissioners. The alledged charges against Superintendent Carter were ad vanced by Commissioner Trask after Chairman Hewlett had an nounced late Thursday after noon that no decision would be reached until the full Board had been given the opportunity to study all of the data gathered during the two day investigation at the county home. At that time Chairman Hewlett anticipated that the findings of the probe would be ready for dis cussion at today’s regular meet ing of the commissioners. The demand for more witnesses to be heard and the new charges, which are expected to be added to Commsisioner Trask’* original contention that the inmates were not receiving kind treatment, will in all probability upset the com missioners’ time table for dispos ing of the county home issue.

Earlier in the evening Joseph A Beirne, president of the Nat ional Federation of Telephone workers, had declared that “to morrow morning we strike.’’ “All our efforts have failed, Beirne declared in an address prepared for a Washington area radio broadcast. “Strike action is being taken only as a last resort.” The NFTW leader spoke after all-day conferences, with Labor de partment officials seeking an eleventh-hour agreement to avoid the strike by submitting the issues to arbitration. Earlier in the day Beirne an nounced that the union is willirg to “consider” arbitration on «»:. industry-wide basis with all issues at stake. The American Telephone and Telegraph company has held out for arbitration only on wages, and that only on a local basis between unions and ftf subsidiaries in the Bell system. Beirne’s announcement on ar bitration came after a meeting with his policy committee, at tended by John W. Gibson, as sistant secretary of labor, and other government negotiators. There was no immediate A. T. if T. reaction but Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach later talk ed at length with C. F. Craig, vice president of the company. Attempt at Meeting Apparently the Labor depart ment was seeking to bring Craig and Beirne together for the first time in the three-months long ne gotiations to try to get them to agTee or. an arbitration plan. The strike of more than 300,000 telephone workers was set for 6 a.m. Monday in early time aones across the country with a pay raise of $12 a week as the central issue. "We ere fu»y aware of our re sponsibilities- and have moved along slowly and cautiously,” Beirne said in his radio address.
