The request went out from the nation's capital from Secretary Ickes in the capacity of solid fuels coordinator. Maj. W. W. Inglis, president of the Glen Alden Coal Company, and co- chairman of the anthracite committee of twelve, was one of the individuals to whom the Ickes letter was sent.

1 The "basic wage agreement In the bituminous industry expires on March 81 and that for the anthracite industry expires on April ,30. Mr. Ickes is asking the soft- coal industry to start wage negotiations no later than February 22 and the anthracite industry to start on or before March 22. Convention fa March 3 Ickes sent identical letters to John L. Lewis, head of the UMWA and to the heads of the operators' organizations.

In his letter, he points out that early completion of negotiations for new agreements would enable the operators and miners "to devote their undivided attention to the task of meeting this year's increased coal requirements and thereby make a substantial contribution "toward speeding the winning of the war." Officials at district headquarters of the UMWA in Scranton an-nouncd at noon today that they had received no official word from Sec retary Ickes nor from President Lewis relative to speeding up negotiations nor had there been any such notice received at sub-district headquarters of the UMWA in this city. Only yesterday, formal notice of the Tri-District scale convention went out to the various lo cals in Districts 1, 7 and 9. The convention is scheduled to open on the morning of March 3 in Masonic Temple on South Washington avenue in Scranton. -Lewis Is Expected The presence of Lewis, international president of the UMWA, is expected to be one of the highlights of the Tri-District convention in view repeated efforts to have him come into the region during the recent "dues strike in the area. The fact that the convention is listed to convene on March 3 leaves a comparatively short time be- tween the adjournment of the convention and the date mentioned by Secretary Ickes in his request for the opening of negotiations for a new agreement on March 22.

SLATED FOR APRORAFT Local Boards Indicate They Have Enough Single Candidates To Fill February and March Quotas Wilkes-Barre City selective service boards have enough potential manpower in eligible unmarried men including 18-19-year-olds and those with or without dependents to carry them through the February and March induction, periods without drawing on married men, a check-up of local draft boards indicated today. Unless the March quota is set at a heavy increase over that of the present month, draft board spokesmen pointed out that calling of married men was not expected to begin in force until the April requisition. First To Be Called First to be called in the married bracket are those married at a time when their selection was not imminent and who have wives only. Col. B.

F. Evans, acting Selective Service director at Harrisburg, announced today that the boards will not call married men with children until further orders from national headquarters. He explained, "If a man married at a time when his selection was not imminent and if his wife conceived a child on or before Dec. 7, 1941, the child is legal dependent "Generally speaking, a child born after 23, 1942, is" not a legal dependent."

MARRIED MEN nrMo.in?ip ilCH-OJUUi) West Side Pastor Fears Labor Being Exploited. Says 4F Men Should Be Trained in Plants Here Intimating that the appeal sept out by the West Pittston Iron Works for women help stands out as exploitation of labor, Rev. George Cole, who lists his address at 552 Bennett street, Luzerne, today called for a true statement of facts relative to the situation. In a statement to the Times-Leader Evening News, Rev. Cole directed attention' to a recent article headed "West Pittston Iron Works to Train Women." The article to which Rev.

Cole refers announced the fact that women are being sought for work in the West Pittston plant because most of the available men in the region either have. been inducted or are liable to be taken into the military service. Asks About Deferred Group Rev. Cole stated, in part, "If the situation is so acute why do they not hire the competent men who have applied this past week? "I have knowledge of at least three who have applied and they are not likely to be drafted. "I disagree with Mr.

Burleson as -to the present acuteness. "If the Vulcan Iron Works intends to pay women 70 cents to $1.05 per hour, why don't they pay that to their men? "Why not train the many men who are in 4F and accept some who are looking for such work who are in 4D? Wants Investigation "Does the U. S. Employment Service know conditions in 'defense plants? "I am a minister of the Gospel and I thank God for the good old U. S.

A. I am longing to see the day that the FBI gets busy and starts to uncover some of the wartime exploitation of the working man. "I am not looking for a job with the Vulcan. I have as much work as I can handle." Informed of the text of the letter, Allen. Burleson, general manager of the West Pittston Iron Works, said: "While I'm not particularly Interested in getting into a newspaper controversy with anyone and particularly with a minister of the Gospel, but it seems to me that the competency of applicants is a matter for our personnel department to decide rather than a Luzerne minister.

The Rev. Cole states in his letter that he has as much work as he can handle. I am ready to concede that and wonder all the more why he is endeavoring to do someone else's work. Thinks it Good Business "We have been and still are willing to consider male applicants if -4111 Initl that it is good business "to traltt women for such work as we have available in view of the fact that any man is apt to be taken into the service eventually in which case the training which we might give him is wasted as far as our industry is concerned." P. J.

Connolly, in charge of the local office of the U. S. Employment Service, also commented on Rev. Cole's letter. He said that he is especially interested in Rev.

Cole's letter. He said that he is especially interested in Rev. Cole's intimation that there are available men here for work such as offered by the West Pittston Iron Works. "I wish Rev. Cole would send such individuals in to us.

We have, representatives here from the Bethlehem Steel Company and like con cerns seeking sucn neip ana, even if they cannot be! placed at West Pittston, we can accomodate such individuals. "In spite of Rev. Cole's disagreement with Mr. Burleson on the acuteness of the labor situation here, it Is far more acute than we I should like to have Rev. Cole drop in to see us and maybe he heln our oreanization in lo cating some of this Daaiy neeaea help." Local Officials Urge Change In Marriage Laws Luzerne County members of the stats T.colslflture have been asked by court house officials to amend the present marriage laws, eliminating the three-day wait for licenses, The amendment If adopted, Register of Wills Shlvell says will relieve Orphans' Court of the trouble considering numerous petitions to waive the delay, and on the theory that the blood-test requirement serves the purpose of making couples think twice before marry ing.

Employes at the register's office point out that two or three days or even more are required to complete a blood test because most approved hospital laboratories run blood tests, only a few times each week. The three-day, which actually requires a five-day wait was passed by the Legislature in 19350 after a concerted campaign by women's organizations and religious groups. The blood test was adopted in 1939. Gperinger Busy On Birthday C. F.

Goeringer, prominent in the business and industrial life of Wilkes-Barre and Wyoming Valley, today is observing his 56th birthday anniversary.

Dr. A. Miller, deputy coroner, investigating the cause, scheduled a post mortem this afternoon. The victim, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Frank Olex, appeared to the mother to have taken a chill while being dressed. When the baby appeared ill, the mother placed her in bed. In fifteen minutes, the mother said, the baby started to turn blue. Dr. P.

F. McHugh was summoned and he placed a call for a pullmotor and a squad of firemen in the hope of reviving the child. A tank of oxygen was used for a half hour but the child failed to respond and was pronounced dead. The little girl was th8 oldest of two children. She leaves a '2-month-old brother, Thomas.

Then simply by observation or elementary mathe matics a person should know when a bus or trolley arrives at a given point, allowing a few minutes leeway, of course, for delays.

I might also add that buses and cars should not wait for persons not on the cor ner when the bus passes. Schedules snouid and' must be maintained. On the Town-end of all lines, terminals should be provided with adequate facilities for sheltering patrons from the weather. Other cities have them. Why shouldn't we? An admirable situation; for the autobus company would be the parking lot just above the Record office on North Main street.

This station extends through North Washington street and would facilitate departure of Pittston, Parsons, Miners Mills, etc. buses, and would also provide an exit for all lower-end buses. Very little expense would be Incurred in providing a turnabout for trolley coaches. Trolley cars would have to remain where they are. Again, a posting of time schedules could be used to excellent advantage.

Since this location is but one-half block or less from the Square, no one could reasonably complain of the distance to be walked. The Martz Company would also find an excellent terminal location adjacent to the Miners Bank building, one-half block from the Square. (Even less through the alley next to the Grand Union Market.) The long run from the Square up North Main street to Union and back down South Franklin would be omitted, a reasonable saving in time, gas and rubber. Establishment of terminals would eliminate waiting on corners, save time and would also eliminate sidewalk jams and the necessity for such signs as1 "Please do not stand in doorways."

Urges Terminal Shelters To Ease Bus Firm Problem Norman Johnstone, secretary of the Wyoming Valley Motor Club, said today that Pennsylvania motorists will have to furnish more Information to get their new 1943 vehicle license plates which effective date begins April 1. However, they are being allowed more time to apply for new plates.

In coordination with the renewal of drivers' licenses, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles will mail out all registration renewal application blanks on February 18. Motorists' new war style license 'plates will include the old 1942 tag with a small metal tab with a keystone enclosing the numerals 43 and the date 3-31-44 which is to be attached to the upper left hand corner of the full size 1942 plate. Use of the new tags will be legal on or after March 15 although the present plates will not expire until March 31. Motorists failing to receive their renewal application forms should, if they have recently moved, notify the Bureau of Motor Vehicles of their new address on the standard change-of-address form (RVG-2). This change of address form may be obtained in the local motor club offices, Mr.

Johnstone advised. Motorists will be required to give three new items of information. First the 1942 registration plate number must be given; second, the motorist must state if he has 1942 plates and should the answer be "no" the State will issue both a set of 1942 tags and the 1943 tab. The third item of information is the occupation of the owner-applicant. This question is asked at the request of the War Production Board.

Although much has been said pro and con, I feel there must be a simple answer to the question. Firstly: workers complain about overcrowded buses. They are overcrowded and this can be relieved by adding additional service at the time of overcrowding. To offset the additional mileage, reduce service by lengthening schedules during slack hours. The transportation companies keep a check on the number of persons using their facilities and naturally are cognizant of peak and slack hours.

There have been many complaints about buses which travel in pairs and even three at a time. I nave seen this many times, mainly on the Martz lines and the South Main street division of the trolley company. This undoubtedly is a result of overlapping schedules of lower and upper end buses and cars, Division street and Plymouth, Plymouth and Nanticoke cars and buses. The Martz Company can eliminate this by using their Division street terminal as the end of the Plymouth line, restoring the old Lockhart route and correlating schedules to interlock, thus providing a continuous service through from Plymouth. The large Plymouth buses should be used only during peak hours.

The trolley company should arrange its schedules so that either a trolley or a bus would provide continuous service rather than the hit-or-miss system provided by the bus or trolley parade. Would not this plan eliminate, at least partially, overcrowding and also reduce mileage? In regard to the hue raised concerning waiting on street corners for a bus or trolley, why not an in tinsive prrfgram to acquaint the pub lie with schedules and points of em barkation and from buses. Couldn't schedules and terminals be -posted in the advertising action ration boards..
