The lrnotty problem of reimburse nnent for relief cases which proper ly belong to some other community than the one in which they are re- coiving relief was solved yesterday at the meeting of the Connecticut Municipal Executives League at the Waterbury Club. By consent of the members, officers were empowered to ask State welfare Commissioner r. o. Walcott to appoint an arbitra- tor to settle the differences between towns and cities in this matter. Mayor Alfred ". Phillips of etani- ford, reelected to the presidency, urged the executives to prepare for the closing of WPA and to give con-
 sideratiofi to the question of how relief recipients are to be cared for
 in the future. He urged the appoint
 ment of . commission to lay out
 constructive program.

 the former sputtering arc lights,

 found on the market today.
 Mercury and sodium vapCr lamps the latter being experiimented with for highway lighting todgyg were also displayed in illumination Weird effects were also produced
 with the violet-ray bulb, such as t
 used in theatrical businegss designs becoming apparent in wall papers table cloths, pictures, etc., that

 The demands of business, the speaker pointed out, have caused many different shaped blubs to be produced. A series of these were
 displayed, particularly those yurl- ming to tubular shapes. A rising vote of thanks was given

Guffey-Virls0n Coal Bill
Injuries To w. Va. Miners

sionnl Record, Page 1394S. 1t relates
how Mir. Guffey, from Pennsylvania
on the floor OF the senate replied TO
the following query OF Sen. Bailey of
North Carolina, as follows:
(Senator Bailcy) as one of the
objects of this bill to increase the
wage OF the coal mincrS!"
(Scnator Guffcy) mo the present
scale wage will continuc.'
The Pennsylvania Senator further
stated that, "Wngcs would depend
entirely on the amount of production
and the number of days work the
miners can be- given"
Tn view Of all this if any West
Virginiam miner can figure out just
where or how he could have benefited
by the Gufrcy VinSon Act, he rates

Pennsylvania, shipping his prduct in
terstate would have the right to set
his own prices, wiiffa the Interstate
shipments from West Virginia would
be governed by the price fixing COM
mission Of the Guffey-Vinson Bill. 1t
doesn't require a very vivid imagina-
ton to figure out the result to follow
the passage and upholding OF such a
piece of legislation. In as much, the
operator of West Virginia would be
at the mercy Of the Pennsylvania OPP
orator, who woul sell all his coal in
trastate..
Let us further realize, that the
setting up of a ccntrl coal commiSs-
ion in Washington, with its many
district boards, would add All extra
expense which inevitably must be
paid by the consumer. Coal today Is
highly competitive fuel. The reason
that coal Is used instead of gas is be
cause coal is cheaper: the same goes
for the competitive fuels. Take the in
dustral plants for instance, they are
forever measuring the cost of pro-
duction.
Let us assume that the cost of the
commission, as provided for by the
Guffcy Vinson Bill, with It's legion OF
district and advisry boards were nd.
ded to the price Of coal and passed
on to the consumer, which IT would
inevitably be- What must the con
sumer do? He would naturally look
to other channels where fuel could be-
had more cheaply, which must mean
n decreased consumption Of coal and
less work for the miner.
How wuld the miner reap any benz"
fits thrugh the provision Of this bill
anyway? Let us consult the Congress

Owens Jumps Into
Political Ring;Lan-
don for President

New York, Sept, 2 - Jesse Owens
Olympic triple-champiOn, took run
ming broad jump into politics today
with declaration he would cam
paign for Governor ALT Nj. LAndon,
the Republican presidential nominee.
After a conference with Representa-
tive Joseph w. Martin Jr., manager
of the Landon-KnOx campaign in the
east, the famous Negro athlete said
he had offered to take the stump for
LandOn and expected to visit him ut
Topeka in n week or two.
Owens said he would like to use
the leadership gained by his OLYMPIC
victories to do something for his race
and was cnsidering making politics
his carer after he completes his work
at Ohio State university.
Right now, he said, the most
important thing, 1 think, is to elect
Governor Alfred NJ. Landon president
His election will be good for America
and for the people f the colored race.
"A runner who makes false starts
does not last long in my game, or
in any other game. From what see,
Governor Landon Is not the kind of
man to get away to false starts
Joe Louis recent declaration that
he was out to support Landon, fol-
lowed by that great athlete of all
times, Jesse Owens, will perhaps he
discounted by many of their follow
ers. They will see in Louis and Owens
with their browning achievements,
great athletes only, discounting their
ability as politicians.
The least that we can concede to
Louis and Owens is ability of high
order, and such ability without per-
feet coordination Of brain and mus
Gle is perhaps n physical impossible

The recent invalidation Of the Gut
fey vinson Coal Bill by the supreme
Court Of The United States, was In
reality n boon to the West Virginia
miner, despite the fact that they uni
versally were in favor Of its passage
and deplored the fact that the SUI
preme Court declared it unconstitu-
tional.
Let us examine the legislation as
presented to the Congress of the u
nited States. If you will remember,
there were the two bills presented,
The Guffcy-Snyder Bill and the Cuff
fcy-Vinson Bill. In the Guffey-Sny-
der Bill, labor stood Il chance to reap
certain benefits, in the Guffey-VinsOn
Bill, rs far as the West Virginia min
ers were concerned, they did not. The
Pennsylvania operators would have
profited at the expense of the West
Virginia miner. Judge Warrum, coun
sci for the United Mine Workers of
America testified that this bill would
assist certain fileds that had lost
their markets, in regaining them. He
had no reference to the West Virginia
fields, because ut that time the West
Virginia fields showed monthly in
creases.
Practically all the coal mined in
West Virginia Approximately 85 per
cent? is shipped in interstate com
mercc This means that 85 percent OF
West Virginia's coal would be regu-
lated by the commission set up, under
the authority OF the Guffey-Vinson
act, whereas, coal mined in Pennsyl-
vania, large percent of which is an
interstate product would not come an
