(U.R) A three-man presidential fact-find-'ing board put the finishing touches Monday on a report which President Truman may use to get a Taft-Hartley anti-strike injunction against the crippling copper strike. A spokesman for the board said its report on the week-old-strike will go to the White House Tuesday as -scheduled. the report's expected to emphasize the serious "effect of the walkout on the defense program: The document will serve as the basis for any Justice department -request ior i a strike."

VP) Allied conferred secretJv Tuesday and the Reds ranted publicly over the Korean crisis at Afield, the Korean war roared into savage fighting on one front. In Tokyo, Gen. Matthew B. Ridg' conferred for two hours behind closed doors with the chief Allied truce negotiator, Vice- Adm C. Turner Joy.

The statements rejected and ridiculed Joy's recent denials that Allied planes and troops violated, the Kaesong neutral zone. Nowhere was there any sign that the Kaesong talks, broken off Aug.

23 by the Reds, might be resumed. Fighting in Korea was the heaviest since last May battle swayed, with few interruptions, from 2:30 a. m. Monday until-the early hours of Tuesday. The Reds drove Allied defenders off a ridge.

Then the Allies began fighting their way back. Tension in Korea, and Tokyo was the greatest since the Kaesong talks began July 10. It obviously was Just as great in the Red camp.

Political Cries Sounded by Labor Leaders WASHINGTON, Sept. OJ.R'U-Labor leaders sounded battle cries Monday for a political campaign win a stronger economic controls law and to "turn the tories out" of Congress in the 1952 election. In Labor day broad casts, AFL President William Sfeen and CIO President Philip Murray denounced Communist aggressors abroad1 and "reactionary forces" at home with equal vehemence, and pledged a continuing battle against both.

They renewed their demands for repeal of the Taft-Hartley labor management law, but directed most of their fire at the new economic controls law.

Sept. President Truman arrived here Monday and rode past the opera house where Tuesday night he will open the 51-nation peace conference for Japan. Two hours after the President's plane touched the ground, 11 key nations reached an agreement on a set of rules for the conference-procedure. Secretary of State Dean Acheson, who had spent mostof-the. dayjn last minute efforts to block any move the Russians might make toward stalling the proceedings, met Mr.

Truman at the airport. The 11 key nations who agreed along general lines to follow Ache-son's suggestions for rules of order met in the United States delegation headquarters. Kenneth Younger, British minister of state, presided at the informal meeting. Other nations represented were Australia, Canada, Ceylon, France, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, and the United States. All 11 of the nations present are members of the Far Eastern commission for Japan.

A majority of them must sign' and ratify the treaty. Russia, who also is a member of the was not present and obviously was not invited. It generally was believed the rules agreed upon called for limiting speeches to one hour, with five minutes allowed for a reply If any delegate is questioned. The tough set of rules also would forbid amendments to the present draft of the treaty. Acheson has been afraid the Russians might try to stall the meetings with lengthy oratory and ask for revisions.

The President had dinner Monday night with California members of the 129th field artillery battalion, his World War I outfit. Acheson's busy day included meetings with K. G. Younger, head of the British delegation, and with leaders from two of the smaller nations that are not satisfied with the treaty as drafted. One of these was Dr.

Achmad Soegardjo, Indonesia's foreign minister, -who has said he reserves the right, to demand reparations. Dr. Soebardjo had a 30-minute talk with Acheson, Ambassador John Foster Dulles, and Dean Rusk of the State department. Acheson also had a luncheon traffic fnralitxr romrl fnr tha traffic. still at Its peak Monday night, the traffic death toll for 72 hours since m.

(local time) Friday had mounted to a near record of 405 ac cidental highway deaths. The previous, record for the same days was410 deaths inl949. Ned H. Dearborn, president of tha National Safety Council, had predicted' earlier that-the death toll -would reach 380 for the 78 hours ending at midnight Monday. As the total climbed near the 400 mark.

however, he said it would be "mora than 500" before all the millions of cars are back home from the holiday outings. a high price Indeed to pay for a little holiday fun," Dearborn said in commenting on the certainty of a new traffic fatality record. In addition, 82 persons lost their lives by drowning during the same period and 75 more were killed in -miscellaneous accidents. Last year's traffic deaths in the Labor day celebration totaled 383. There were 80 drownings and deaths from miscellaneous accidents.

Since the first of the year, tha nation has averaged 295 traffio deaths every 78 hours, but those figures include some deaths occurring several days, weeks, or even months after the accidents. The Associated Press compilations include only deaths occurring from accidents within the holiday period and thus are not comparable with the national average.

The first battle on the floor is expected to come Wednesday when the United States proposes rigid rules limiting the 51 nations to about one hour of speaking each. There was some belief, however, that the Russians might try to tie up proceedings by filibuster! tactics before a set of rules can be adopted. The Soviet delegation, headed by Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, remained secluded and silent Mopday in their rented mansion 20 miles south of San Francisco.

Their tactics hold the key to how long the forthcoming conference will last. It is scheduled to end in a signing ceremony Saturday. Americans remember, however, that the Russians turned the 1946 peace conference in Paris into a debate that dragged out for three months. Informed quarters 6aid the matter of a Japanese-American security pact was touched upon when Japanese Premier Shigeru Yoshida called on Secretary Acheson Sunday. These same sources said It was agreed that all discussions of the security -arrangement should- go over to next week, and that it seemed likely it would be signed in San Francisco the day after the peace conference.

They said the statement was to clarify the Tlnion's positiun.

They emphasized that furnishing such maintenance men is a union policy and not the policy of any individual. The policy was agreed upon at open meetings of the union local following a vote by the membership, they said. Some misunderstanding of the agreement has been reported, they stated. They quoted a provision of the union contract which has been in force since reorganization of the local in 1934. It read as follows: It is further agreed that should any condition arising either dur ing the period of this agreement, or at or after the expiration thereof, lead to a stoppage of production, the union will, at the request of the company, keep such members of the union (in continued good standing with the union) as the company may require engaged on such work on the properties of the company in connection with the operation of pumps and other machinery, or on such other work as may be necessary to protect the properties from damage or destruction; it being understood that no such employes shall be required to work during the.

period of any strike, if and when the company attempts to produce. As to such members so employed, the terms of this agreement shall be considered extended during the period of such employment, but it is understood and agreed that If, as a i result of the settlement of any such controversy leading to such stoppage of production, there shall, be any Increase in the wage scales, the members of the union who have been employed during such cessation shall receive -for such period of employment wages at the- rate finally- agreed upon.

It is further agreed that dur-; ing the entire period of any stoppage of production salaried or supervisory employes of the company shall have free access to any and all parts of the properties without hinderance or interference by members of the union, or persons representing or under the control of the 'union provided," however that such salaried or supervisory employes will not perform, work customarily performed by union members on maintenance duty provided such maintenance is being performed by such union members. It is further agreed that members "Of other- unioris-'-having contract? maintenance shall likewise have free access to the properties for the i purpose of maintenance required their contracts, and shall be issued passes by the union which shall entitle them to such access.
