PA. MINE STRIKE
SPREADS; MINERS
STRIKE IN LILY
1000 On Picket Line;
UMWA Overridden
By Young Miners

PORTAGE. Pa. = The TOO miners
who struck Jan. 81 at the Hughes
Coal Co. mine at Caseandra, Pa, have
tied up the mine 100 per cent and are
standing solid. One mine of the
Hughes Coal Co. in Lilly have al
ready oined the strike wave, IS min
ers walking out against the decision
Of the company to deny the miners
union checkweighman. National
Miners Union organizers are in the
town of Lilly trying to spread the
strike to other mines.
The miners in Cassandra walked
out when the company fired the
nightmen, Ill in all. At a local meet
ing when the strike vote was taken
the U. M. w. A. officials, who have
an agreement with the mine owners,
were dilly- dallying with the question,
but the miners one after another
took the floor and insisted on the
strike. The U. M. W. A. officials are
doing all in their power to keep the
strike movement from spreading to
Lilly.
1t was the young miners primarily
who forced the strike over the heads
of the A. F. of L. takers. The young
miners, of which there are quite
number in the Cassandra mine. were
solid for the strike from the begin
ming. 1t was the vote of the youth
that knocked the bottom out of the
wishy-washv arguments of the U. M.
w. A. officials
The sentiment and militancy of the
strikers is splendid. On the first day
there we're about 1000 on the picket
line, including women and children.
The National Miners Union has is
sued leaflet to the miners warning
them against U. M. w. A. betrayal
and proposing the following demands
be made:
!. Reinstatement of the fired night
m.
:. No wage cuts.
.. NO discrimination against any
man for union activity.
q. election of a broad rank and file
committee to conduct the strike and

WHOLESALE PRICES
AT NEW Low LEVEL
Only Three Of Ten Major
Commodity Groups Fail
to Show Weakness.

The wholesale price index of the
Federal Government today reached its
lowest point since the depression began.
The Labor Departments Bureau Of
Statistics said the index number de-
rived from price quotations Of 784 COM
modities, weighted according to their
Importance, dropped six-tenths of / per
cent during the week, which brought
the level below that of the week Of
June 18, when previous low point was
reached.
The bureau said the commodity
groups which have pulled the price level
to a new low are hides and leather
products, textile products, metals and
metal products. chemical and drugs and
miscellaneous articles.
All these groups, the records show
are below the figures Of June 18 Farm
prices and foods are still slightly above
the June low. alcng with fuel and light
Ing and building materials.
Only three of the 10 major commodity
groups failed to develop weakness last
week, and they remained at the same
level Of the preceding week, according
to the bureau These groups were mis-
cellaneous products. housefurnishing
goods and metals and metal products.
They, however, have slumped decidedly
during the last so days.
Farm products, once IL per cent
above the level Of June 18, are now only
8 per cent higher. while foods, which
had climbed 6.8 per cent, are now only
2 per cent above the June low.

philosophy and the eternal lessons
of life, the Irish Players, last eve
ming at the National Theater, did
more than was required by the theme
of their play. Their collective and
individual contribution to good
humor furnished one Of those rare
theatrical events in which there Is
a mass attack on the futile serious
ness of humanity, and to the average
mind there was such inspiration as
usually comes only when comedy is
carried to the point Of lampooning
at the hands Of the experts of the
stage. 1t required only this produc-
ton, added to the delightful series
of domestic dramas, to demonstrate
the capacity Of the Abbey Players.
Each member of the well-balanced
company found an unrestrained
mood in which to interpret some
character that was part of the
story of the wholesome course of
human events. and there were
scenes that fairly breathed the
spirit of the common interest to be
found under the veneer of daily
pretensions.
