Routine Business Will Be

Business of a routine nature will
lie before the international execu-
tive board, United Mine Workers of
America, when it meets in Indian
apolis Wednesday at the call of
President John L. Lewis, it was an
nounced at his Office today.
The work will consist chiefly, it
was said, of examination and de-
cision of membership appeals, dis
cussion of conditions and recent de-
velopments of the unions affairs
and ordinary business matters.
Concerning the recent move OF
Illinois courts in denying the use
of the name, United Mine Workers
of America, by the insurgent group
In Illinois, Ellis Searles, editor Of
the Mine Journal, said:
There is no doubt that the board
will discuss the development, but no
action will be taken. President
Lewis issued his call to the mem
bers before the decision was handed
down, so it is evident the meeting
was not inspired by that action"
Members are expected to be in

HE didn't weigh 10 pounds then, -
said John. "His toes were sticking
out of his shoes. I bought him an
outnt, everything from underwear
to collar buttons. And what did
he do? He run out on me"
When prize fighting was in the
doldrums, John always turned to
6arbering. His shop always was
somewhere in the theatrical district
and show people were his friends.
Last year he decided to build the
most magnificent barber shop in the
world. In the heart Of the Rialto
he erected miniature edition Of

The walls were covered with the
