Must Show Claim Washington, (UP) The War La bor Buaid said today that it turned down th: portal-to-portal pay elausj in the contract between Illinois coal operators and the United Mine Workers because UMW failed to pre sent data showing its right to under" ground travel pay under the wage and hour law. "The mine workers are not entitl ed to extra compensation under the fair laboi standards act until the weekly working time exceeds forty hours," Chairman Wm. H. Davis de clared.

Sweden Firm In Stand Against German Protests Denounce the Nazi Press Criticism of Swedish Government Starts Over Sinking Trawlers Stockholm, (UP) Sweden took a firm stand today against a German press campaign touched off by a dispute over the sinking of two Swedish trawlers by nazi warships in the Kattegat. A foreign office spokesman said Sweden refused to accept German allegations that the trawlers had violated the country's neutrality by sailing in a war zone. The government was gathering facts to bombshell the strong Swed ish protest against the incident and a new note to Germany was expect ed in a few days. Late reports from Berlin indicated the nazi campaign of intervention against Sweden was continuing. German afternoon pa pers were said to have condemned particularly the Swedish press for allegedly violating government's neu trality policy. The tazis displayed extreme irri tation ever the increasingly anti German editorials in a majority of papers formerly somewhat pro- Ger man, and a steady trend- in favor of allied news. War Production Up Washington, Sept. 1. (UP) War production took a turn for the bet ter during the month of July with an over-all increase of 3 per cent in the output of munitions, but further increases are needed if 1943 goals ere to be reached, Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the War Production Board announced today. "During the months of May and June, production levelled off causing concern among ninny officials who warned that the United States could ill affor'i a slowing down of its war production program if the armed lorces were to move ahead on sched ule. Nelson's latest report said pro duction problems had been "largely licked" in many programs and that peak production rates have been tchieved or are not far off. The three remaining problems, he said, are airplanes, signal equipment and army ammunition. Two of these showed hopeful increases in July. Production of signal equipment went up 17 per cent, airplanes 4 per cent. Army ammunition, however, remained static. Colorado Freestone PEACHES Bushels, or Boxes at the Lowest Price o the season.
