Of Coal Dispute "I respectfully urge you to suggest to the Secretary of Labor that she immediately certify to Mediation Board the pending coal mine dispute. I deem the situation with respect to suspension of coal min- in in Eastern Kentucky most grave, causing deep concern to all our citizens, particularly to labor dependent on this production for livelihood, as well as Impeding national defense in our greatest emergency. "Coal stocks are unevenly dis- Iplkntajl a 4 1 1 a aiiern rv mmnW apparen'Uy for628 daygi most consumers coal piles now reaching vanishing point.

Kentucky miners want to get back to work, intensifying local problem. I am reliably informed that Kentucky coal producers Joined with all other Southern producers and offered wage increases of approximately 11 per centum, in agreement for medi ation all further questions of wages and working conditions in order to get mines into operation immediately. "I believe there are sound eco nomic grounds for the position taken by Southern operators with respect to long-established sectional differentials directly involved in controversy. Such differentials wero recognized by NRA and In all national regulations. Freight-rate differentials against Southern territory are from 35 to 90 cents per ton to principal consuming markets, and price structures based on these rates necessitate wage dif ferentials.

These freight differen tials amount to four times the wage differential. Acute competitive situation with respect to substitute fuel, such as oil and gas and hydroelectric power, bears most heavily on Southern coal industry. "My Judgment is that the situa tion calls for Immediate action in the form of certification to the Mediation Board for realistic settle ment in order that the mines may be started without delay, and I respectfully urge." Johnson's wires to the Kentucky congressional delegation were vir tually the same as that to ths President. BURGLARY IS REPORTED. Thief Takes Watch And Cash From Covington Home.

April 15 (AP) The desire for a "couple of drinks" by two confessed outside sids of a desperate convict trio who "crashed out" of Sing Sing Prison probably caused the failure of the plot which resulted in four deaths and murder charges against four men.

In the prison Infirmary, where the break started, a convict patient died of excitement and shock.

The telegrams said nothing of today's violence on the Kentucky-Tennessee border, nor did Johnson comment on that. In all the telegrams the Governor declared there were "sound economic grounds" for Southern soft coal operators refusing to agree to a flat $7 a day wage base instead of the $5.60 paid In Eastern Kentucky and the $5 in Western Kentucky mines. The Governor's action was taken in response to a plea yesterday from Ebersole Gaines of Fayette-ville, W. Chairman of the Southern coal operators' wage conference, which seeks to deal with the United Mine Workers of America before the board.
