MANY Miners Continue Strike,

Coal Operators Of
South Hit S. Wage
At Code Hearings
Lewis Gets Excited AS
His Tactics Are
Exposed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-MoSt OF
the hearing today on the coal code
was consumed by Southern coal oper-
ators, who said they wouldn't even
pay the starvation wage of S. day.
The National Miners Union dele
gates have not yet been given the
floor, but are repeatedly assured they
will be allowed to speak.
In his speech yesterday John l..
Lewis presented the original notice
of the United States Coal Company
OF Logan County, West Virginia,
posted at school house, stating that
the school house is private property
and no meetings could be held at the
school house.
The speakers of the Progressive
Miners Association, particularly
Keck, on the other hand presented
sworn affidavits that the leaders Of
the United Mine Workers of America
are carrying on the same practices
in Illinois.
John L. Lewis got all excited and
insisted that Keck should not be per-
nlitteds to speak any longer.
The representative of the Negro
Industrial League presented a strong
plea against discrimination against
Negroes and for equal wages and
other conditions for Negro miners.
Twenty-Five Illinois miners arrived
here by truck with the intention of
seeing Miss Frances Perkins and de-
manding their constitutional rights
to belong to the union of their own
choosing. Although Miss Perkins was
seen today twice, they were told she
was out of town and they would not
be able to see her.
Frank Borich is expected to appear
at the hearing tomorrow.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. Ire
ports from various coal fields show
that the miners are still fighting q
number of rearguard actions, mostly
on the issue of the refusal of the
companies to carry out the agree
ment and employ elected check
weighmen.
Fiftee2 mines still remain closed
i'll the Pittsburgh and Fayette Coun-
ty area, including two mines OF the
Vesta Coal Co. Eighteen hundred
miners are still striking in four mines
in Cambria County on account Of
refusal to accept their checkweigh-
men.
In Fayette County the miners are
spreading a new slogan ridiculing
the settlement. They say to each
other at street corner meetings and
at pit heads: For the sake Of the
President, give me cigarette" or
For the sake Of the President want
to come over to your house and eat
supper"
1t is reported that following the
distribution OF National Miners I'M
ion leaflets in the Uniontown area
more than 20 miners came during
the evening to the room Of the local
leader asking for more copies Of the
leaflet.
1t becomes clearer every day that
the big companies have no intention
of abiding by the terms Of the formal
settlement, but that the whole in
tervention Of the government was for
the purpose of breaking the strike
and leaving the miners to the mercy
Of the H. G. Prick Coke Co. and
other big operators.

He Can Take 1t

For more than 80 years,
Daniel B. Lloyd has recorded
the official debates in the
= upper branch of Congress.
From the top of his white
haired head to his nimble feet
he is as agile as he was on
that long ago day when he
first welded a pen to record
solons' sentences.
One reason for his agility,
perhaps, is his love of outdoor
life, and when the ducks fly he
can usually be found down on
the PatuXent River in his
favorite blind.
Each year, according to Dan,
the ducks become more wary,
and this year they have q
habit of flying we'll out Of
range most of the time.
However, he contends:

Comingse stepped up, stepped

It wouldn't bulge, and he
finally had the balky car pushed
out Of the way, all of which
required more than an hour Of

Of course, it probably should
be mentioned that the driver

For a long time she had

She was on Nollie's side. She

Nollie could be entrusted with

a lot of the burden off her en-
ployer'S shoulders.
Nollie worked hard to make
the thing a big success. All the
more so because things, weren't
running quite smoothly between
herself and Tony.
They met, down by the lake,
it's true. But a certain con-
straint seemed to have sprung

That this was due to Rhoda'S
and to Madeleine'S influence
Nollie felt certain.
Tony was often at the Gal

Nollie had never had an invita-

Air 'Zabuutories' did Disease Study

CCIENCE is turning to the Army Navy and
- Coast Guard for help in carrying on its
peace-time war against plant disease particu-
larly OF the spore- forming type of disease.
The use of the Navy dirigible Los Angeles
and various Army and Coast Guard planes al
ready has been resorted to in determining the
spread of certain types Of spores which are po-
tentially serious menaces to crops of various
types. The experiments so far have been
made along the Atlantic Coast with the excep-
ton Of one study Of the spore of the black stem
rust Of wheat which was conducted in the
wheat belt.
The spore-forming diseases are those which
carry their life spark in single cells which are
encased by heavy protective coating which
permits the survival of the life through condi-
tions of heat, cold and drought which will kill
ordinary bacterial life. It Is this tenacity to
life which makes the spore- forming disease so
difficult to combat
Among the recent tests carried out In the air
were some interesting flights made by F. C.
Meier, plant pathologst of the Department of
Agriculture, who has gathered mitch significant
information concerning the effect of wind cur
rents and altitude on the spread of the spores.
His experimental work has been carried on in
attitudes as high as 5000 feet, the highest
tests being made in airplanes.
The seeds of fungus diseases which attack
tomatoes, potatoes and various fruit crops have
been gathered by Mr.. Meier high in the air
along the coast from New York to Norfolk.
Evening star., 1933-01-15

The collecting of the spores was accom-
plished through use of sterilized glass plates
covered with culture-medium in which the
spores would grow and multiply. These plates
were exposed for few moments at the various
attitudes in which the tests were conducted
Mr.. Meier, however, changed the usual pro-
cedIlre, once he had gathered his specimens,
and instead of simply identifying them by
microscopic examination, he actually cultivated
them and through the colonies which were de-
veloped he obtained far more accurate data
than could be obtained through microscopic
examination. In addition to the greater EN-
cheney of the study, a large quantity of the
spores was available for experimental inocula-
tions carried on in an effort to develop or dis
cover resistant breeds of seed of the plant at
tackled by the spores
The use of the airplane-gathered spores
proved highly valuable some years ago when
the battle on the black-stem rust of wheat was
being carried on. At that time, after extensive
efforts over period Of years had eliminated
the barberry host plant to the spores during
the Wintertime, it was discovered that the
spores still were a potential menace as they
were found 10000 feet in the air and sub
jected to the northward trend of the winds from
the Mississippi Valley. The spores wers traced
to certain types of wild grass along the border
land between the area of mild and severe VIM
ter weather. This grass seldom dies out COM
pletely and proved an ideal host for the black
stem rust after the elimination of the barierry.

Farm Funds Run Loqv

COME idea of where part of the prosperity
- of the country has gone is shown in the
figures for farm incomes for the years since
1928 During 1929 the gross income of the
farmer was set at $11 $50 900 900, but each year
since that time has shown loss, 1880 shows
ing SO, ,4o3, 600 900 and 1881 $685., 900 o00 The
figure for this year will be quite bit lower
than last year. Inasmuch as the farm popua-

Mrs. Roosevelt, like Mrs. Coolidge, enjoys

to have time to visit the fruit and vegetable
and meat marts in Washington, either. F1rst

eggs. for the incoming President of the United

wife says. "As long as he has them ne is

The social program in the White House for
the next four years is going to be friendly,
merry informal one. The latchString is out and
the Roosevelt family want all of its friends

rent.

And the reason that chafing-d dish is used,
