NOT STOPPED

COAL STRIDE IN U.S.A.

MEN DEMAND FAIR DEAL

LONDON, April 30. There are now over 100,000 soft coal miners ott strike in the United States, and a correspondent says that every sign suggests that most of the other 350,000 soft coal workers will stop work at midnight tonight. President Roosevelt's order has not stopped the strike.

The men have told the President that they want to work, but that they want their wage claims settled by collective bargaining and not by the War Labour Boai'd, which they declare is not properly organised to judge their case, and therefore cannot give them a fair deal. The correspondent points cut that there is a possibility of trouble with the anthracite miners, whose contract expires tonight, in which case 80,000 men from these mines would be affected. Many newspapers and Congressmen, says the correspondent, are urging the President to use force if the men strike tomorrow.
