The coal miner who is lucky
enough to have days work, never
knows, when he leaves his shack in
the morning, whether he will return
that night or not. For as spesd-up
and mecl1anization continue apace,
the death and accident toll mount
simultaneously. Under the steady
drive for increased production,
coal-nlining has come to be more
hazardous than work in the steel
mills, On the railroads, structural iron
work and many of he other jobs
commonly looked upon as the most
hazardous occupations in the country.
During the ten year period ending
December 81, 1929, there vera 22,5OO
fatal and 100000 non-fatal acct
dents to coal miners on the job.

floods and spectacular mine fires,

Toy Making Company
 Sues For $1OO, ,OOO
(Continued from Page 1.)

Case brought in the United States court.
 According to the complaint. Fer fiinand Strauss, Inc, placed an or- der with the Waterbury Button company, for a large quantity of Strauss tractors. toy, giving the button company blue prints and specifications. The tractor was said to be a huge success when of- fered to the trade, due to the fact that 1t was the first tractor on the market that could be sold through jobbers to retail at $1 each. The plaintiff bankrupt concern con- tracted the first year for 250 gross ct a certain price; tools and dies at a certain price and also to be charged for tools and dies. The button company was to manufac- ture these goods and ship them directly to the plaintiff bankrupt concern or it's customers pursuant to instructions. In order to popularize this tractor very large sums of money were alleged to have been spent by the bankrupt concern for advertising, sending out samples and for travelling statesmen wherever jobbers were located throughout the united States and Canada. This was said to result in m enormous busi- ness.
 The first delivery was made Of the tractors on March 31, 1930, the complaint asserted and other ship snents followed quickly thereafter.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-31

IA few days after the first ship ment was made a telephone call was received from the American News company that tho tractors received were entirely worthless. the complaint charges. From that time on, telephone calls and cor respondence of complaints were received by the bankrupt concern practically from every customer to whom tractors shipments were made. Orders are alleged to have been cancelled and goods were said to have been returned back Upon investigation by the bank rupt company's officials 1t was found that the shaft in the tractor worked itself out of the body and could not wind up, the complaint alleges. At a special meeting Att torney Amdur's report stated, it was the definite promise of the lo- cal button company to make up part of the damage done in loss of profits and prestige.
 After service in the damage suit was made on June 12, 1881, an involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed against the Strauss con- cern, the report states.

There was a marked lessening of tension between the Vatican and i the Italian government this morn ling. Prelates and members Of the
 government staff fraternized openly ii for the frs time since the open
 break, caused principally by dlrer-
 enccs over education on the youth of the country.
 Provisions of the accord were
 guarded closely.
 It w0s learned, however. that
 both sides were satisfied with the formula for the education of youths through system whereby special
 clerical inspectors would oversee
 the Catholic schools. Members of the government ex-
 pected an official announcement
 shortly.
 A lengthy conference between Count Devecchi, Italian ambassa- dor, and Cardinal Pacelli, papal
 secretary of state. was considered lsignlficant.
 The ambassador also attended n
 mass conducted by Monsign0r Bar ltolomasi, chaplain of Italy's armed forces, for 5000 Italian boys resi- dent abroad and members of the
 fascist youth organization Avan-
 guardistl.
 It was believed that the differ
 encas growing out of simultaneous membership in tho fascist organ
 ization and the church had been
 bridged, restricting Catholic activi-
 ties solely.
 This was adicd considerably by
 the fact that there will be jurisdic-
 ton of local bishops but not by
 the national hierarchy. Police began to-day to remove
 the seals from the doors of Catholic
 clubs and returning the keys to
 club officials. The reopening order
 was understood to apply 10 the
 Knights of Columbus playgrounds which were shut.

SHIP FIRMS FIGHT
u. S. PROFITS SUIT
Bethlehem and Others Ask
Balance of $9,O95,7S3
on War Contracts.
Nv the Associated pres,

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. April IA legal
battle involving $40 1000, 900 between the
Government and the Bethlehem Ship
building Corporation and three Of its
allied companies began here yesterday
at a hearing before william Clarke
Mason, special master appointed by the
United States District Court.
The Government is suing to recover
Sl1 100000 alleged excess profits" made
by the companies during the World War
in the construction of ships for the
merchant marine.
The Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corpo-
ration, the Bethlehem Steel Corpora
ton, the Union Iron Works and the
Fore River Shipbuilding Corporation,
the defendants, have filed counter &C
ton demanding payment Of S9,095, 793,
which, they contend, is the balance due
them from the Government on ship
contracts.
Schwab to Be Called.
Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, who was director of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation dur
ing the World War, is expected to be
called as witness in a few DAYS.
According to the Governments COM
plant, Schwab is alleged to have held
other shipbuilding companies to a 10
per cent profit plan in building mer-
chant marine vessels, but allowed his
own companies to work on what was
known as the hah-saying plan"
Attorneys explained this by saying
that when the Bethlehem Shipbuilding
Corporation combine contracted to
build ship for $4,000, 900 and actually
spent 81, 100000 in the construction, the
builders got 10 per cent of the remain
ing 100000 of the contract price as
their profit. and then divided the re-
mainder with the Government.
Other shipbuilders, the attorneys said,
were held by Schwab to the 10 per cent
profit plan, and all of the remainder
contract price was returned to the Gov
Defense Denies Charges.
Schwab, in his defense filed some
time ago, denied the charges of the
Government and said his companies
took only the 10 per cent profit, the
same as the other concerns
Harry Brown, technical manager for
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. who
supervised the estimating for the ship
contracts, was called as witness today.
In his testimony he defended the con-
tracts, claiming that they saved the
Government $672, 900 on each of the
four ships in one instance.
The controversy was carried to the
courts originally in April, 1925, and at
that time Owen j. Roberts, now asso-
ciate justice of the United States Su-
prene Court, was named master With
his appointment to the Supreme Court
it became necessary to rehear the tes-
timony. When the hearings are COM
pleted, the case will go to trial before
the United States District Court Judge.
who will be given the masters report.
