VOICES UNION DEFIANCE.

FAIRMONT, w. Va. May 4.-Van
A. Bittner, international representa-
tive of the United Mine Workers of
America, was the principal speaker
here yesterday at mass meeting of
miners from the surrounding districts.
He told his hearers the union would
continue its fight and go into Logan,
Mcdowell and Mercer Counties until
every non-union mine not only in
northern West Virginia but in the
State closes down or signs the union
agreement"
Addressing himself first to the Fair
mont people in the audience, he told
them that the United Mine Workers
needed no defense before the Amer
lean people, and that it was an Amer
ican and Christian institution. De-
riding the term American plan as a
synonym for non-union operation, the
miners leader described an American
plan as one recognizing the principles
of collective bargaining, paying wages
that would keep men, women and chill
, dren as they should be kept and OBJ
Serving all the principles that made
the United States a great Nation. :

70 MINES REQUEST
COURT PROTECTION
Injunction Plea Charges
Union Seeks Ruin of North
Panhandle, w. Va, Field.
By the Associated Press.

1850
WHEELING, w. Va, May 4.-Pe-
tition for blanket injunction to cover
20 mines in the Nortern Panhandle
region of West Virginia has been filed
in the United States District Court
here by operators of non-union prop
critics, asking protection against union
activities by the United Mine Workers
Of America.
The petition was filed last week, but
the action did not become known un-
til yesterday. Judge Baker said he
had caused notices of the petition to
be issued to all officials of the United
Mine Workers, returnable at the Park
ersburg term of Federal court, begin
ming May 25
The injunction, if granted, would
affect all non-union mines in Ohio,
Brooke and Marshall counties, which
are not already protected by Federal
restraining orders.
The petition, Judge Baker said, al
leges that protection should be eX-
tended by the court in view of an al
legged evident conspiracy between
the United Mine Workers and oper
ators in the central competitive field
in an effort to desolate entirely the
coal industry of the Northern Pan
handle"
While application for the injunc-
ton was made last week, Judge
Baker revealed that it was not made
public until all those named were
officially notified. Among those named
in the petition, it was said, are John
l.. Lewis, international president of
the United Mine Workers; Lee Hall,
William Roy and William G.. Savage,
officials of the Ohio union; Frank
Ledvinka, John Cinque and William
Roberts, subdistrict officials, and Van
A. Bittner and Joseph Angelo, inter
national representatives.
The petition asks an injunction
similar, il was said, to that granted
against the United Mine Workers in
the cases of the West Virginia Pitts
burgh Coal Co, the Richland Coal Co.
and the Hitchman Coal & Coke Co.

FRENCH ELECTION

Left Group Is Gamer, If Any,
in Nations Municipal
Voting.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, May 4.-Returns this morn
ing from yesterdays municipal elec
tions throughout France tended to con,
firm the first impression that there
had been little change in the positions
of the respective parties.
The gamers, if any, appear to have
been the left group. The Communists
made no headway, either in Paris or
the provinces. The polling was eX
ceptionally heavy, and a large part OF
the $4,000 cities and towns remain to
be heard from. A definite analysis of
the result will be impossible for some
time.
The military and police arrange
ments for May day were kept in
force for the election, but no disturb,
anCes were reported. The women
nominated candidates in every ward
in Paris and a woman's name ap-
peared at the head of every one of
the Communists suburban lists.

than any woman on earth. You

very bad bringing up and 1t has
ruined his sense of values. He has
never learned to please anyone, but
himself.
You know he early found that he

naturally he began only to please
himself.
Leslie. pleasing just yourself is an
action that grows in intensity every
time it is practiced until one can
do nothing else.
l think Jack tried hard TO re-
member you on all occasions, but
he has no such sense Of re
sponsibility to you or to life itself
as you have toward those YOU love
and toward life.
You must give him time to get
over his unconscious and colossal
selfshness. He never thinks he is
selfish until afterward and he ees
your hurt eyes and then he is all
contrition-until the next time.

CIinging to Youth

Dear Miss Lee: I am a woman 43
years old I was brought up In very
strict. religious family. never used
rouge or lspstick until two years ago. Ny
mother thinks ii is terrible, but my hus-
band does not mind. l do not want to
grow old before l have to. and l know
/ look better with makeup. Do you think
il is wrong? l do want to keep young
so my husband will keep on loving me.
My children say 1t Is all right Tor me TO
use rouge. MRS. IL. +. H.
Nature sometimes needs a little
boost to give us beauty. l do not
think that. woman who uses rouge
and lipstick is doomed. However, l
do think a woman. especially one
past 40, should be very careful in
putting on her makeup, and should
use it sparingly, or she accentuates
her age instead Of hiding it.
Also. Mrs. X. f. r.. do not make
the mistake of thinking you can
etay young by dressing and making
up like a girl of IS. That does not
work. Youth must come from the
mind, the spirit. Keep young in
spirit, and you need not be afraid
of losing your husband or your hap
piness even though your hair does
fade and your face grow wrinkled.
