NODG Scotia Coal
Miners Spurn LeWis
Pact With BeScO

GLACE BAY, Nova Scotia, March
10.-The coal miners Of District 20,
United Mine Workers, Nova Scotia.
are working without a contract.
The Montreal agreement which
was the result Of prolonged negoti-
ations between the British Empire
Steel Corp. and provisional district,
officials and representatives Of the in
tenational, was handed down a few
weeks ago. This contract secured a
slight increase in wages, but was off,
set by the increase in the price of
coal for household use, and various
binding clauses.
The miners by a referendum Mar.
8, rejected the contract by a majori-
ty Of 2506.
The reputation Of a contract, car
rying with il a so-called increase In
wages, negotiated by officials of the
union, has created a unique situa-
ton. William Dalrymple considered
il a direct slap at John L. Lewis
and all his subordinates in this dis
trict.
The corporation agrees 10 pay the
new rate Of wages as long as the col
Iierics continue in operation.

Blue Ridge would be the choice in
that matter 1t would not only be
more accessible to a hundred times
as many tourists as the Great Smok-

not cost nearly so much money. Both
Congress and park experts are cer-
tain to take these questions into con-
sideration.
In a comparatively short time the
Blue Ridge area would be available
as a great and wonderful playground

PARK SITE CHOICE
DUE.A EARLY. DATE
Both Virginia and Tennessee
Areas Likely to Be
Recommended.

With the time for the selection of
the area that is to become the South
ern Appalachian National Park less
than a month distant, members of the
committee appointed to seek the most
desirable site are making a final sur
vey of the proposed reservation in the
historic Blue Ridge Mountains of Vir-
ginia, which is regarded by most ex
perts as likely to be chosen.
Harlan P. Kelsey, who was unable
to make the extensive tour with other
members of the committee who VISIT
ed the famous Stony Man Mountain
section last month, left Front Royal
yesterday to visit the northern end
of this area, which was not seen by
the other commissioners. 49,.
Work to Make Report.
Later Mr.. Kelsey will be taken over
the peaks that were inspected by the
other commissioners, and before
Christmas additional committeeman
will see the northern section in order
TO have a clear idea Of the entire
Virginia area before they submit their
recommendation to Secretary of the
Interior Work, who. in turn, will ask
Congress to make the selected reser-
walton a great national park.
Impressed as the park committee
was with the towering beauty of the
for a week last month, experts de-
clare that the northern tip. adjacent
TO Front Royal, Is even more wonder
full in its virgin forests, rock strewn
canyons and granite peaks. Although
it is not SO high as the section
around Stony Man. Hawks Bill Peak
and Great Fort Mountain, it is said
to possess some of the most perplex-
ing rock fsgmations to be found
anywhere. -
Action Sought This Session.
1t has been definitely stated that
the committee would render its de-
cision of selection before the first of
the year SO that. "a bill can be pre-
pared and action gotten by this Con-
gress. Under these circumstances it
seems almost certain, according to
those in. touch with the situation,
that several other areas, known to
be inadequate for national park pur-
poses but which were to have been
visited out of courtesy will have to be
passed by.
A majority of the committeeman
have eliminated various proposed
areas until the choice with them is
known to lie between two places
the Blue Ridge Mountains of Nir-
6inia and the Great Smoky Noun
tains Of Tennessee and North Caro-
lima. 1t can be predicted with al
most certain assurance that both of
these places will be unanimously
recommended.
Both Highly Considered.
Both are regarded as such out
Handing examples of scenic beauty
That the committeeman are ready to
declare that both should be preserved
as great Fairgrounds and outdoor
museums for the benefit of the people
not only of the East, but of the en-
tire country. And each is as differ
ent from the other as the Rocky
Mountains are different from both.
While the Blue Ridge Mountains
are more typical of the Eastern
highlands. the Great Smoky range is
said to contain some of the most
rugged country that exists in the
East. 1t was pointed out, however,
