Coal Miners Request
Duty On Natural Gas
From Alberta Wells
Product Now Piped Across Line, Duty Free,
Tends To Lessen Work For Miners,
Says Wire Sent To Wheeler

ROUNDUP Alarmed over the serious
menace to the Montana coal mining industry
presented by the influx of Canadian natural
gas into the state, Montana mine workers
and operators have inaugurated an active
and vigorous fight for the placing of duty
on foreign gas. To permit this gas to come
in duty free, it is pointed out, will impair the
market for Montana-produced coal to a con-,
siderable extent, thus depriving Montana
union coal miners of work which is sorely
needed at this time.

cause he furthermore had not
proven that he had sufficient IL

At the same meeting, E. b.

WASHINGTON Pa, March 49,
Students Of washington and jefferson
College were pledged today by resolu-
ton Of fraternity and other campus
organization representatives to bring to
an end tomorrow the walkout started
yesterday in protest of the regime Of
President Simon S. Baker.
The point was made that no purpose
would be served by prolonging the walk
out inasmuCh as it was not intended as
an act of coercion.
Meanwhile, the man who has headed
the institution of $50 students since
1920 was at his desk in fulhllment of
his emphatic declaration that he would
not resign. President Baker denied
that there was any foundation for the
reported complaints, among them one
that he Disseminated unfavOrably
against college athletes whose records
in recent years have leaned somewhat
toward the lost" column. The basket
ball team this season dropped IA OF
its Is games.
President Baker said the complaint
was mad It he was dictatorial III
matters O. tire, but countered that
such was Al exaggerated outgrowth of
his suggestion six years ago that the male
students wear something more refined
than hobnail shoes and lumberJack
shirts. He denied that the recent dis
missal Of three faculty mambers was
prompted because the instructors were
on too friendly terms with the student
body.
Early last night at a meeting called
by the student assembly, the vote
favored non-attendance Of classes until
Monday However, at another meeting
later of group leaders tomorrow was
chosen for termination of the walkout.

Another Parking
Protest
Editor, Times:
It is high time something
should be done about this latest
parking ban. To make streets
like N, Rhode Island Avenue, L
and the rest of the side streets
two-hour parking places is
laughable.
Why can't they make that on
one side of the street and then
have some place open for us un-
fortunate drivers?
I am compelled to drive down
town and then rack my brains
for an hour where to park.
Oh, please! Mr.. Commission
ers, have a heart! Change or
modify this latest joke some
what! You would, if you could
hear the sentiments expressed.
