Will New “No
Strike” Order
Get Coal Mined?
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Federal
Judge Richmond B. Keech today
issued a new no-strike order
against John L. Lewis and the
United Mine Workers. It runs un
til March 3.
Keech has had a “stop strike"
order out since Feb. 11, but the
372,000 miners have ignored it.
Lewis himself has observed it
to the extent of twice sending in
structions to the miners that they
should go back to work.
The miners’ refusal to obey the
order has the government casting
about for possible new actions to
get coal mined. One move that is
a possibility is contempt action
against the United Mine Workers.
That could result in big fines on
the union.
There has also been talk in
Congress of legislation to let the
government seize the mines. But
Democratic leaders are not taking
to that idea.
House speaker Rayburn <D
Tex.) said after a conference of
legislative leaders with President
Truman today that the president
has no plans to ask such author
ity. Mr. Truman said he does not
want it.
Senate Democratic leader Lucas
(111.) said he had not heard any
talk of seizure legislation by the
administration.
Rayburn said there was only
general discussion of the coal sit
uation at the White House con
ference. He said Mr. Truman told
them he was “expecting some
kind of report" later today on the
situation. Presumably, this Is a
report from his fact-finding board
and mediation officials keeping
in touch with developments.

ELLIOT ROOSEVELT NOT
WECOME AT STORK CLUB
NEW YORK, OF)— The Stork
Club, says Elliott Roosevelt and
his girl friend, Ciigi Durston, are
not welcome there anymore.
It’s because of a slight social
mixup.
The fashionable East Side club
had announced Thursday it plan
ned an engagement party for the
couple.
Roosevelt and Miss Durston
said it wasn’t so. Furthermore,
they weren’t ready to announce
any engagement. And when, and
if, they were, they said, the club
wasn’t the one to do it.
This apparently riled the club.
Owner Sherman Billingsley, in
Palm Beach, Fla., Friday sent
word to his staff to deny entrance
henceforth to the couple.
“We thought we were doing
them a favor,” said a club repre
sentative. “But they both got
mad.”
About one-half of the irrigated
