Coal Operators Warn
Banks Against Cashing
Checks tor Pensions
By James Y. Newton
Soft coal operators today took
new action to block payment of *100
monthly pensions to the United
Mine Workers under the plan au
thored by Senator Bridges, Repub
lican, of New Hampshire.
Ezra Van Horn, operators trustee
for the UMW Welfa^fe Fund, called
on the two banks holding the fund
to stop payment on a checks not
bearing his signature. He wrote the
banks not to honor checks bearing
only the signatures of Senator
Bridges, the neutral trustee, and
John L. Lewis, the miners’ repre
sentative.
The Van Horn letter went to the
National Savings & Trust Co. here,
where *33,000,000 is deposited, and
to the Central National Bank of
Cleveland, which has about *1,000,
000.
"You are hereby notified and ad
vised,” he wrote the banks, “that
any monies that you may pay out
of said fund now on deposit in your
Institution without my signature
and authorization, you shall do the
same at your own risk.”
Copy of Suit Inclosed.
Mr. Van Horn Inclosed a copy of
the suit he has pending in District
Court to void the Bridges pension
plan and to hold Senator Bridges
and Mr. Lewis personally liable for
any payments made under it’
The operators’ representative told
newsmen how Mr. Lewis and Sena
tor Bridges at trustee meetings last
night and Monday pushed through
over his objections arrangements to
start pension payments and made
key appointments to administer the
welfare fund.
The appointments were Mr. Lewis
as administrator of the fund and
Miss Josephine Roche, associate of
Mr. Lewis, as director. Mr. Van
Horn said he protested that “neu
trals’’ should be appointed to both
posts. He added that the two posts
had not even been created by joint
action of the three trustees.
“Mr. Lewis objected to giving con
sideration to any one other than
himself (as administrator),” Mr.
Van Horn said, "and no considera
tion was given any one other than
himself. It is my view that the
law (Taft-Hartley Act) and the
contract require joint management
of this fund. It is my firm opinion
that what transpired yesterday is
intended to give Mr. Lewis charge
of the entire fund and to appoint all
personnel. I was not consulted.”
Mr. Van Horn added:
“With the co-operation of Mr.
Bridges, Mr. Lewis appointed Miss
Josephine Roche and attempted to
give her power and authority to
sign checks from the fund.
“* * * If silence may be taken
as approval of this method of
procedure and conduct, then Mr.
Bridges approved it, for he did not
object or protest.”
Plans to Push Suit.
Mr. Van Horn said Mr. Lewis
and Senator Bridges then decided
to take $5,000,000 of the welfare
fund and to deposit it in a special
account to be used in payments of
the pensions. His letter to the
banks was intended also to halt
such a transfer.
Mr. Van Horn said he intended
to push his suit to void the Bridges
plan and “to have it concluded at
the earliest possible moment.”
Bitter Words Exchanged.
It was understood that bitter j
words were exchanged in the trus- j
tees’ meeting yesterday, and that!
Mr. Lewis and Senator Bridges re-1
fused to make available to Mr. Van j
Horn the minutes of an earlier meet- j
ing the three held last Monday.
The Lewis-Bridges plan calls for
payment of $100 monthly pensions
to miners 62 and older with 20 years’
service in the mines. The men who 1
have retired since May 28, 1946, also
would be given pensions. The planj
was voted over Mr. Van Horn’s!
protests April 12 and led to settle-!
ment of the long mine pension
strike.
Actuarial experts have advised j
the operators that the 10-cent-per-1
ton royalty on all coal produced,
which will yield about $50,000,000
annually, will support pensions of
only $50 monthly to miners 65 and
older.
Agreement on One Move.
Mr. Van Horn agreed to one move.
That was to invest $25,000,000 of j
the fund in short-term Government
bonds.
Miss Roche, an Assistant Secre
t ary of the Treasury in early New
Deal days, has been associated with j
Mr. Lewis as a technical assistant1
and consultant since last December.!
She is a long-time close friend of
the UM'.V chief and is head of the!
Rocky Mountain Fuel Co., Denver.
Miss Roche, known as a liberal,
was the first mine operator in Colo
rado to recognize Mr. Lewis’ union.
She is an ardent supporter of trade
unions and has had a long career
in social work. She served on an
advisory council that assisted in
drawing up the Social Security Act
in 1934.

King Abdullah received irom the

The King was told intervention
would be considered an act hostile

Abdullah replied he would comply
only if the Jews could be persuaded j
to cease attacking Arabs and at
tempting to set up a Jewish state in
Palestine.
Abdullah also received a reply
from the Jewish Agency for Pales
tine to his recent proposal that Jews
accept citizenship in a unified Pal
estine state. The agency said the
Jews will refuse citizenship in any
state in which the Arabs axe in the
majority and that they are “ready to
fight to the last man" against it.
The agency added, however, that
the Jews are willing to negotiate

Man Who Carried Away
Girl, 16, Sentenced
By the Associated Press
GUILDHALL, Vt„ April 29.—Ken
neth A. Ingalls. 34, a husky wood
chopper, originally accused of kid-1
naping a farmer's pretty 16-year-old
daughter, was sentenoed today to
serve from a year and a half to
three years in House of Correction.
The prosecution dropped the kid
naping charge and Ingalls pleaded
guilty to breach of the peace.
Dark-haired Charlotte O’Brien,
who Ingalls testified wanted to
marrv him, was in school as he
calmly accepted the sentence.
Ingalls disappeared with the girl
from her home last March. He was
accused at first of seizing the girl at
gunpoint and holding her prisoner
for five days in a nearby summer i
cottage. 1
Supreme Court Asked
To Rule Out Taft Act's
Political Spending Ban
By the Associated Press
The CIO asked the Supreme Court
today to outlaw the Taft-Hartley
Act’s ban on union political expend
itures.
The union attorneys said this pro
vision of the labor law creates a
danger “that our entire electoral
process will fall prey to small, un
democratic, wealthy groups.”
The CIO attorneys asked the high
tribunal to affirm a decision by Jus
tice Ben Moore of West Virginia that
the ban is an unconstitutional in
vasion of the rights of fr£e speech,
press and assembly.
The section of the act involved
bars labor organizations from giving
or spending money in connection
with a federal election.
Deliberate Test of Act.
The CIO and its president, Philip
Murray, were accused of violating
the ban by indorsing a Democratic
candidate for Congress in a spe
cial election in Baltimore last July.
They published the indorsement in
the CIO News deliberately to test
the validity of the ban. Justice
Moore, sitting temporarily in Dis
trict Court here, dismissed the In-1
dictment against them.
The CIO attorneys told the Su
preme Court in their briefs that
in the 1940 and 1944 national elec
tion campaigns, “powerful indi
viduals and their families, prom
inently identified employer inter
ests, contributed huge amounts to
political campaigns.
“Unless the member! of labor
organizations are given the right
collectively to direct their political
strength against the strength of
these powerful individuals and fam
ily groups,” they asserted, “the
democratic framework of our en
tire society will be in danger.’’ e
Government Position Given.
Jesse Climenko, a special assistant
to the Attorney General, opened
the Government’s side of the case
late yesterday. He said the Taft
Hartley Act does not keep indi
vidual union members from setting
up their own political campaign
funds and using them as they wish.
He said Congress sought to elim
inate dangers to free elections “in
herent in the massing of wealth ini
the hands of entities” such as
unions.
"Congress has sought to obviate
those dangers,’ ’he explained, “by
imposing an enforced neutrality on
the part of entities as such, leav
in gthe individual members thereof;
free to combine together voluntar-;
lly to express their point of view;
in a manner which will make cer
tain that their political activities
are wholly free from the pressure
which may be exerted by the en
tities.” ,

Stock Market Strike
Ends With Acceptance
Of Exchange's Offer
ly th« Atiociafffd Pr>il
NEW YORK, April 29.—Union
employes today ended their month
long, violence-punctuated strike
against the New York Stock Ex
change by accepting pay raises of
fered by the financial market.
During the strike, police and
pickets clashed several times. Once
pickets demonstrated by lying down
in the streets.
A spokesman for the Exchange
said 100 of the union-estimated 950
strikers would not be taken back.
He gave no explanation, but it
was recalled that Emil Schram,
Exchange president, said during ne
gotiations that the strike disclosed
that the operating force could be
reduced by 100. ,
rour orourap Houses A nee tea.
John Cole, vice president ol the
union—United Financial Employes
(AFL)—said the union had accepted
the fact that jobs of 100 had been
eliminated, but was hoping that re
organization of personnel and in
creased business would result in
absorption of that number.
Meanwhile, the strike continued
against four brokerage houses to
which the walkout spread. Union
officials said immediate efforts would
be made to settle those disputes with
E. F. Hutton & Co., A. M. Kidder <Jc
Co., Bache & Co. and Shields & Co.
The union originally asked in
creases of $9 for employes earning
less than $40 weekly and $15 for
those earning more. Later it scaled
this down to $6 and $10.
The stock exchange offer accepted
today provided $3 weekly for those
earning up to $49, $4 for those earn
ing between $50 and $74 and $5
weekly for those earning more than
$74.
Severance Pay Provided.
The exchange spokesman said the
return to work would be started
‘‘as soon as possible.” He thought
it probable that the strikers would
be permitted to have today off, to
return fresh tomorrow.
The agreement prodded that
those whose Jobs were eliminated
would be put on a special “sev
erance pay” for eight weeks and
then given one-week separation pay
for each year of service. The mini
mum separation pay is two weeks.
Stock exchange strikers were aid
ed in their picketing by members
of the Seafarers’ International Un
ion and Sailors’ Union of the Pa
cific t AFL).
The strike against the Stock Ex
change and the New York Curb Ex
change started March 29. Later it
was extended to four brokerage
houses.
The curb exchange dispute was
settled about two weeks ago.
Mayor O’Dwyer appointed Wil
liam J. McCormack, president of the
Penn Stevedore Co., to investigate
the wage matter and report back to
him. That was the only remaining
issue in controversy.
The mayor requested the strikers
to return to work after receiving a
letter from union leaders asking
him to intervene.

Jury Selection Starts
After Judge Overrules
Trumbo Challenge
A jury was being selected this
afternoon to hear the contempt-of
Congress trial of Dalton Trumbo,
film writer, in District Cqurt.
Justice David A. Pine overruled a
defense motion to have the panel
of prospective Jurors dismissed. The
defense sought to show that the
District Jury Commission does not
follow the qualifications set down
by law.
At least five prospective jurors
were dismissed Immediately after
the selection began when they said
they had read about the case in the
newspapers or heard about it on
the radio and feared they might be
influenced.
On the witness stand as the
trial opened today was Col. E.
Goring Bliss, secretary of the Dis
trict Jury Commission. He was
being questioned in connection with
a defense claim that the method of
choosing jury panels here is unfair
to Trumbo because of alleged dis
crimination against low-income
veniremen.
At one point in his testimony. Col.
Bliss got in a word for representa
tion in the District.
Defense Attorney Ben Margolis
was asking the witness about a
questionnaire from a prospective
juryman who had written in answer
to a query as to whether he was
opposed to the American form of
Government, "Yes, I am opposed to
taxation without representation.’’
Mr. Margolis wanted to know
whether such an answer would ex
clude a person from serving on a
Jury.
But Col. Bliss replied if that were
the case, "I’m afraid we’d have a
little trouble getting juries in the
District.”
The trial was in recess yesterday
afternoon to permit the taking of a
deposition from another witness
who is too ill to attend the court
room sessions—Chairman Thomas
of the House Committee, on Un
American Activities.
Trumbo is accused of having re
fused, during a hearing before this
committee in Hollywood last Oc
tober, to answer questions as to
whether he was a member of the
Screen Writers’ Guild and the
Communist Party.
Justice Pine ordered the deposi
tion after consulting the physician
who has Mr. Thomas under treat
ment in Walter Reed Hospital as
to the possible effects of his being
questioned.

In these they enlisted the aid of
