WAGNER BOARD
SET To ACT ON
MINE REBELS
Held Ready to "CraCk Down"
on RecaIcitrants in Ken
lucky and illinois

President Roosevelt'S decision
to give the National Labor Board
jurisdiction in any dispute be-
tween miners and captive" mine
operators today put the board IN
the position to "crack down" on
independent mine union officials
in Illinois and Western Kentucky.
Senator Wagner CD of New
York, chairman of the board,
was expected to assume active
arbitration of the disputes by
sending summonses to all fac
tions involved in the interunion
wars in both States.
Wagner wanted to force settle
ment of these disputes several
weeks ago. but the Presidents
assumption of jurisdictioan in the
captive mine strikes caused him
to delay action.
NRA Plan Rejected
In Illinois, officials of the Pro-
gressive Miners of America have
refused to accept formula
presented by the NRA for settle
ment of their bitter membership
fight with the United Mine
Workers of America.
The formula was worked out by
Donald R. Richberg, chief coun-
sci of the NRA, after a visit to
the Illinois coal fields
After the formula was approved
by Recovery Administrator Hugh
S. Johnson. it was presented to
the rival factions by Governor
Horner of Illinois The United
Mine Workers officials agreed.
The Progressive Miners refused
to accept.
Rap at Lewis
Since then their leaders have
been charging that the National
Labor Board was not "fit" to
Judge their case because John L.
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, is a member OF
the board.
It has been said that Lewis
would not sit as board mem
ber if the dispute was brought
here for hearing, but this has
not caused the Progressive Miners
to yield.
The western Kentucky dispute
involves the question of whether
union with which operators
have signed "closed shop" agree
ments is a company union"
About a month ago the oper-
ators and the alleged company
union officials we're summoned be-
fore the board. but only one oper-
ator appeared.

states that without consultation
with other manufacturers and
in conformity with the code, it
notified the Iron and Steel In
stitute that it proposed to re-
duce its price for steel rails
from $40 a ton to $3.50 ton.
"ThiS notice having been
given to the Institute became
public property and thereupOn
the other three manufacturers
reduced their price to meet the
price established by the Steel
Corporation"

tives to shave the price of rails

the marital diet for Thomas Gill
crease, millionaire Oklahoma oil
man, he charges in divorce pc
tition filed in Paris against his
wife, the former Norma Small
wood, Miss America" of 1926.
The oil baron says that Mrs
Mahala DickerSon, Norma's NAM
ma, moved into their magnificent
manse here and dominated his
beautiful wife and their little
daughter, Des Cygne pAmour, SO
thoroughly that he felt like a
guest in his own home, so little
affection did he get.
Gilcrease also accuses Mrs
Dickerson and Norma of having
held lively drinking parties at
home, despite his disapproval,
while he was out directing oil
operations.
Norma has filed a cross petl-
ton at Pawhuska, in which she
asks $500 monthly alimony, pend
ing trial of the divorce.
Combating her demands, law
yers for the oil baron tell of a
prenuptial agreement between the
couple, whereby Norma agreed to
accept $4,000 annually for as
many years as she and her hus-
band had lived together, in the
event of a divorce.
She admits the contract, but
says she did not understand it at
the time of their marriage in Sep
tember, 1923.

As Strike Continues Its
Effect in Other Areas

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 81 G.N.SJ
Despite the agreement brought
about by President Roosevelt at
Washington, Fayette county cap
tive mines with indications they
may continue idle for some time
to come.
With insurgent leaders denounc'
ing the agreement-as opposed to
approval voiced by mine union
leaders-closely knit picket lines
were former at practically every
idle pit of the H. C. Frick Coke
Company.
10 Locals to Farley
Representatives of 70 locals in
District No. 4. United Mine Work
ers of America, prepared to meet
tomorrow with William Hynes, dis
trict president, to decide on a
course of action.
Questioned regarding disattec'
lection in the strikers ranks,
Hynes said:
"I think they will find they
are up against a stone wall
and will have to go along with
the rest"
- n;4t.L,,roL Thomas Moses
president of the Frick concern
returned to his desk from the
Washington conference with this
comment:
'There are no plans right
now to reopen the Frick mines
and there will be none until
we are assured the adequate
protection promised u.s."
Meanwhile, a survey of the cap
tive mine field revealed staunch
opposition to the agreement
among the active strike workers
Snag to Peace
The peace treaty, pronounced
satisfactory by John L. Lewis
president of the United Mine
Workers of America, provides for
agreements between steel com
panies and representatives of the
employees elected by the employees
themselves under exclusive direc'
ton of the National Labor Board.
1t also provides, however, that
such representatives may or may
not be officers of the United
Mine Workers or members of any
labor organization.
This latter stipulation drew bit
ter condemnation from the strike
leaders who have insisted on out
right union recognition by the
steel companies. Marty Ryan, in
surgent leader, declared:
'"That's not an agreement.
It's the same thing we had be-
fore we came out on strike.
None of the Frick mines will re-
sumo work under such an agree
ment."
Ryan's statement was Endorsed
by Sam Rhoades, leader of the
Vesta Coal Company miners, and
Patsy Minerd, spokesman for two
mines of the Republican Steel
CORPORATION. But the Workman's
brotherhood, a group of Frick en-
ployes opposed to the U. M. w. A.
was elated.

PAYING THEIR WAY

A young reader sends in the fol
lowing clipping for publication during
the baseball season:
The Z"O went to the ball game
One bright September day,
And found to their amazement
That they would have to pay.
The leopard gave a ''one-spot,"
Four quarters gave the eve;
Then in marched all the baby sheep
And gave doll or two.
The horses placed their eight bits
Upon the gateman's till;
The frog displayed a green back;
The duck laid down a bill.
Two deer were next to fall in line
Behind the waddling duck;
And Mrs. Doe was first to speak,
She said: 'I'll give buck"
But Mr.. Deer said: please look here;
We cannot have it so.
You must not make such sacrifice
Please let me give the doe"
Then Last came Mr.. Polecat,
And crawled right through the fence
But seeing what the others paid,
He left hundred scents.
