emersrencv legislation, outlaw
ing strikes for six months.

President Calls Age
Groups from 26-29
.Washington, May 16 The
President to some extent has off
set recent congressional action
extending the draft but exempt
ing teen-age youths and fathers.
The President -has authorized
the induction for military duty
of all single men between the
ages of .20 to 29. That means
that men in the age group from
26 through 29 who were pre
viously exempt, now are sub
ject to the draft.
The War Department says the
new Congressional ban on draft
ing of teen-agers will not slow
down the army demoblization
schedule immediately. But, the
department says, it may compel
the Army to ask that induction
of men between the ages of 25
and 30 be resumed.
Arbitration Refused

soft coal strike won't be settled
by arbitration.

putting an end to the bitter dis
pute by arbitration were dash
ed tonight when both John L.
Lewis, UMW chiefand Charles
O'Neill, for the coal operators,
refused point-blank to arbitrate.
The mine owners were willing
to put their disputes over wages
and hours to an impartial medi
ator, but refused to accept arbi
tration on the union demand for
a 70-million dollar welfare fund.
Lewis told the President that
his negotiating committee was
not authorized to accept ; arbi
tration. Both Lewis and O'Neal left
the White House after a 12-min-ute
