same companies for. which we are
working in our district, own mines in
the soft coal region and they have
the agreement there. Our
interests are bound up with the btu
Iminous miners. We must stand by
them 100 per cent.
Repudiate Lewis.
We repudiate the policy of John L.
Lewis and his associates, who have
carried on the policy of separating
anthracite miners from bituminous
miners, and who are at the present
time dividing the soft coal miners by
making separate agreements. In do
ing so they are helping the coal OPP
orators in destroying our union. Or
ganize the unorganized is our slogan.
John L. Lewis refused or has failed
to do so. This alone is sufficient
proof that John L. Lewis and his In
ternational Board cannot lead our
union.
(2) Injunctions against striking
miners have been used by the coal
operators through their servants in
court, which the Lewis machine have
helped to put in by their so-called
non-partisan policy. The Lewis ma
chine has refused to carry on the
fight against injunctions by mobiliz-
ing the masses of strikers on the
picket line and by leading the picket
Lines themselves, and by working for
a Labor Party, which would unite the
workers to carry on the fight on the
political field. The Lewis machine
cannot fight against injunctions when
here in our district it has used in
functions against the Silver Brook To-
cal union because the membership
wants to build up and restore our
union to the rank and file. How can
he support the Labor Party, when he
is a member of the party, whose
judges and other public officials use
their power to break the soft coal
strike?
A Company Device.
90 The Cancellation Board is a
means used by the coal companies in
our district to put the grievances of
the miners on the shelf and not to
solve them, to fool the miners and to
postpone action.
We pledge ourselves to fight
against the Cancellation Board and
declare that the only way Of settling
differences is directly between the
miners and the coal operators. We

"But this happens to be a double
declaration-if your honor, and to
rejoice over the fact that young
Robin Hathaway has attained the
venerable age of three months"
Crystal commanded her eyes to
register coquetry and delight, but
in her heart there was a sickening
pain of envy and self-pity.
All these people belonged to each
other, loved each other, were welded
into that most precious thing in the
world-to Crystal family.
She had no near "kin folks" now,
but Bob, and he was only a cousin.
She answered Bob with an eager
rush of words, her voice running
up and down carefully practiced
scale of emotion:
"But, Bob darling, I'm thrilled

I'm so excited I can't sit still"
And Crystal bounced up and down
on the couch to prove it. Then, with
a little thrill of laugh, she fuffed
out her slightly mussed printed
chiffon skirt, so that her f1esh-like
ness showed, crossed her black
satin-shod feet, and swung them
vivaciously while her thoughts
swirled on in her muddled, pathetic
mind:

A MONTH, with Lila, was time
"A for anything. The constant
drip of her cleverly phrased words
had worn away BERTHE Louis mem
DRY of the recent struggle which
she and Rod had experienced in
order to keep their heads above the
waters that threatened to engult
them.
The future looked alluringly
bright as Lila painted it. No need
to stint.
ICY will stick to Rod" Lila told
BERTHE Lou. "He thinks the world
of him. Cy's so good-hearted. He'd
like to see every one well off. He'd
think Rod lacked confidence in him
If you weren't making the most of
his friendship. Cy doesn't expect
you to save for a rainy day, BERTHE
Lou, because it doesn't rain on peo-
pie he likes"
And Molly always kept reminding
BERTHE Lou of Rods good luck in
having a man like Cyrus Loree in
terested in him.
IT heard that Rods slated to keep
on moving upstairs in his company"
she remarked, not troubling to add
that Lila had given her the infor-
nation.
BERTHE Lou could see no reason,
after awhile, why they should not
have a place where they could en-
terrain in a way that would do credit
to Cyrus generosity.
IT think he expects it of u.s." she
argued with Rod, when he vetoed
the idea of moving. "And it will be
saving in way" she went on.
Think what we are spending now
on theater parties and suppers. If
we had a larger place and a maid
we could come home for snack
after the show. Why, we wouldn't
need to take our guests to theater
at all. We could throw a decent
party at home.
Anyway, it looks cheap for us to
live In walkup apartment and not
keep maid. Everybody knows you
are getting a good salary now"
Rod signed the lease on the dotted
line for the new place, though he
said he wished they were moving
into their own home instead.
BERTHE Lou seemed to have for
gotten all their earlier plans for a
home. Her life was filled with sat-
isfaction over the present. Care
had taken his black shadow off their
portal.
They had money for a good time
and good clothes; health and lot
of jolly friends. BERTHE Lou was too
happy in the new apartment with
the Enclosed shower and sun
ken tub, the many mirrored dress
ing rooms, and the woodworking
fireplace to dream of anything more
Lila insisted upon helping hei
furnish the place. "You can use
my credit ut the shops" she pro-
posed; you'll have to hunt around
to get just the right things"

If he hangs, l do not want to be

lice by Jacob Weiss of Philadelphia,
Ia, brother of Samuel Weiss, who

cases which startled the city last

Jacob. who is older than Samuel
and John, has returned to his home,
having attended Johns funeral and
remained in this city for a while,
pending the outcome of the police
investigation. According to the po-
lice and others who came in con-
tact with him, he is bitter towards
Samuel and Johns widow, Mrs.
katherine Weiss. Her infidelity,
which was at the bottom of the
sensational case, angered him great
ly, and he is said to have expressed
the hope that If the authorities are
able to fasten guilt upon her. they
will prosecute her to the utmost.
In conversation with the police,

he had not been in touch with the

tions in Johns household, caused by
the affair between Johns wife and

School DEPT. REFUSES

No Money, Its Plea, So
Public Works Board
Settles

The city of New Britain, repre-
sented by the board of public works.
is finding the city Of New Britain
represented by the school depart
ment one OF its most difficult credi-
tors to obtain a settlement from and
today the public works board laid
out several hundred dollars to pay a
bill which the board of education de-
clines to settle on the ground that it
has not the wherewithal.
Some months ago orders went
forth to Vance street property own
ers that sidewalks and curbs must
be placed on the street. Private
property owners complied without
delay. leaving the premises in front
of the Robert ]. Vance school the
only stretch on the street not pro-
vided for.
City Engineer Philip A. Merriam
sent out the customary notice that
unless the property owner had the
work done the board of public
works would do SO and bill for the
work. 1t was suggested that this be
done. The job has been completed
and the contractors bill was for
warded by the board OF public works
TO the school department. Answer
was made that there was no appro-
priation for the job and that settle
ment could not be made The con-
tractor was not concerned about ap-
propriations. however. excepting IN
scfar as his account was concerned
and he made demand on the city en-
gineer. Subsequent pleadings for
the money having failed to bring re-
sponse from the school department,
the board OF public works today
found 1t necessary to pay.
The situation was referred to
| Mayor Paonessa for advice today
In similar cases in the past. the city
has liened the property of the de-
linquent owners. the purpose being
to take it over for purpose OF sale
should settlement be denied indefi-
nitely. The prospect OF the board
OF public works selling a public
school at auction Is not an immedi-
ate possibility. city officials agree.

Doubts man BURIED
Is JOHN PHILLIPS
Physician Does Not Believe
Indicted Sewer Pipe
Magnate Dead

New York, Sept. 6 R)-The Eve
ming Post says today that DIR. Louis
II. Taylor, family physician and
close personal friend of John NJ.
Phillips, indicted Queens sewer
pipe magnate. has expressed serious
doubt that it was Phillips body
that was buried recently.
"The trick wouldn't be beyond
him." Dr. Taylor was quoted as
saying. The body didn't look like
Jack Phillips. He had been very
sick man and the man in the coffin
was robust
The doctor was also quoted as
saying that he would hardly expect
a man of Phillips sort to die of
alcoholism.
1T is usually something else that
carries such men off," he sadi.
Their systems. being conditioned
to alcohol, are not SO fatally affect
ed by much drinking"
Shortly after the funeral services
for Phillips in Queens, the body
having been taken there from At
lantic City. N. j., where death oc-
Cured, federal grand jury in
Brooklyn requested that New Jer-
sey authorities investigate and con-
slider the circumstances of the
death.
In later interview with the
20 yta 1Nr T.,
ed his remarks that he made to the
Evening Post and added: Il wouldn't
be surprised to see Jack Phillips
walk in here at any time"
He said that he thought the body
ought to be exhumed and an au-
topsy performed.
District Attorney Newcombe re-
piled to questions by reporters
whether he was taking any action
on the matter by saying that h.
and his staff were spending ali
their time at the moment in ths
investigation of the death of Will.
