Willie left in the custody of Su-

help an occasional smile as he told
of Willie's spectacular and wide

Hirsch was sentenced some time

said, and was detailed to help with
the prison records and books.
He was granted a furlough re-

several telephone conservations with
President Roosevelt at Hyde Park.
He met again with Governor Pin

Workers. At his insistence the OPP

meeting.
Lewis agreed to withdraw all of
the strikers demands except their
request that the miners have their
own check weigh men" at the
tipples to see that the miners get
full credit for the amount of coal
they produce.
The operators previously re-
fused an agreement on even this
basis, but johnson was expected to
tell them forcefully Of the Presi-
dents desire. for quick settlement
of the strike pending compete adj

johnson enlisted the aid of Ger

members of the recovery admin
istrations industrial advisory board,
in effecting settlement. They
were reported to have been in
touch with officials of the United
States Steel corporation. The steel
corporation controls the H. c.
Prick mines at which the strike
began.
The strike has become national
issue, bringing into the open all OF
the major controversies between
capital and labor under the Nation
al Industry Recovery Act. The main
dispute is over recognition of labor
unions, which brings in the comp
any union fight OF the steel in
dustry. 1t has gained added i'm
portance with the realization OF
both operators and miners that the
decision in the present case may
well form a precedent to which
operators will have to subscribe in
the future.

day by Howard P. Meyer, who re-
Gently returned from an extensive
trip to the Atlantic seaboard and
Canada. taking the southern route
going cast and the northern route
coming west.
His talk gave highly interesting
and at times amusing account of
various scenic and historical places
visited. together with sidelightS on
customs and conditions of people
encountered in regions remote from
Imperial Valley.
The beauties of Carlsbad Caverns,
New Mexico, were one of the out
standing attractions of the trip,
which also included visits to his
toric battlefields in the south,
among them being Chickamauga,
Missionary Ridge, Shiloh, York
town and the scenes of the PENN
sula campaign during the Civil war.
Some time was spent in viewing
the gigantic Muscle Shoals project,
the development of which, the
speaker declared, will be of i'm
mense benefit to a large area of
the south, which is, in many re-
spects living under conditions
which existed 30 and 40 years ago.
The progressiveness of North
Carolina, which has won that state
much acclaim in recent years, was
easily noticeable, Meyer said, in
dustries in the state being active
and conditions generally were
found to be much better than in
other parts of the south.
Washington and the larger met

described briefly, the eastward trip
