 Washington, July IS. - (UP)-Administration lead CTS rallied congressional forces today to stand ready to carry on the legislative program that death lifted from the shoulders of Major ity Leader Joseph T. Robin son. Behind the senate leader, both supporters and foes of President Roosevelt's judi ciary reorganization program prepared for an early test of strength that may be the key to the entire administration program. Democratic veterans in the senate expected = pending further word from the White House - to renew next Tuesday the fight to enact the court bill and to prevent threatened stampede toward adjournment that might wipe out proposed labor, farm and other legislation. Ihe tlghC IS Stlll on, was CIle challenge of democratic senators after preliminary conferences with the President.
 | Move to Kill Bill
 Opponents of the court measure answered with unofficial declara- tions that they would move to Kill the till on Tuesday, confident that they have . safe majority in the senate.
 It was learned, however, that an opposition re-check of strength was started in order to determine positively whether there were suf- ficient 5otes to pass a motion to recomn1it the bill to the judiciary

FOUR MINERS IN
 INDIANA KILLED
Seventy Others Are Trap- ped in Baker Coal Mine
 at Sullivan .

Sullivan, Ind. July 15-(UP)-An explosion shot flame through shafts of the Baker Coal mine today, kill- ing at least four miners and trap. ping 70 others.
 Charles N. Templeton, president of the Baker Coal company, said rescue parties probably would not be able to enter the fine before noon be- cause of the intense heat.
 Four Scared Bodies
 Four scared bodies were found a few hundred yards from the en- trance and dragged out. Templeton said it looks bad" for the 70 below. The shaft extends two miles ull- derground from the south entry.
 Rescue parties were turned back by the sizzling temperature inside the mine after dragging out the first four victims.
 Almost every one in this town oi $500 persons wathered at the shaft entrance.
 4 few women became ,hysterical but mostly the crowd was orderly,
 Police lines were established to keep the throng from hampering rescue work. -,
 The first rescue efforts were con- centrated on pumping fresh air tn- to the shaft to clear out the fumes, cool the scared walls and possibly provide oxygen for those who still might be alive.
 Origin of the explosion was unde- termined. but many in the crowd be- lieved that recent heavy rains had seeped through the ground caus. ing c formation of gas in the shaft which was ignited by . spark from a machine.

 Washington, July 15.-(UP)-It is the opinion of the American Fedora ton of Labor that stability of in- dustrial relations in employment calls for the negotiation of wage agreements through collective bar gaining. When said agreements are negotiated they ought to be signed by the representatives of labor and of industry.
 A signed agreement is evidence of good faith. Furthermore, an agree wages and conditions of employment ment properly drawn, covering hours will serve to avoid confusion and controversy.
 The American Federation of La- bor realizes the difficulties which are met locally when a strike is inaugu- rated by the c.

 Washington, July 15.--It is the opinion of the Committee for h. dustrial Organization that signed contracts are the essence of mutual good will between unions and en- ployers expressed in collective-bar- gaining. No verbal contract has any standing in business outside of those verbal contracts between individuals who have supreme confidence in each other.
 Businessmen sign leases and papers of incorporation and sales contracts and it is regarded as good form to sign marriage contracts. Wills are frequently signed. Finally no treaty of peace, whether to end war or threatened combat, is fin ally confirmed without being set down in writing. This is usually recognized as common sense proce- dure.

DRIVER FREED IN
 FATAL ACCIDENT
Deputy Coroner Smyth Ex- Onerates Lacilla-Boy
 Fractured Skull in Fall

No criminal negligence on the part of Anthony Lacillia, of 47 South Leonard street, was involved in the death of Sheridan Delaney, IA, of Bank street, says Deputy Coroner Walter W. Smyth in a finding filed in superior court. The boy was fatally injured when he Jumped from the back of a truck operated by Lacilla at Tranquility Station, Middlehury, Aug. IT.
 The Delaney boy, planning to go swimming at Sandy Beach, Lake CIassapaug, got on the truck at Highland avenue and Chase Park way. The boy asked to get of at Tranquility, says Mir Smyth, and Lacilla was slowing down the truck, planning to stop, when the boy jumped. The boy suffered @ frac- tured skull as his head hit the road. way.
 "Lacilla slowed the truck and turned into the roadway that leads to Sandy Beach, intending to stop and let Delaney off," the finding continues. He had reduced his speed to about five miles an hour when Delaney jumped of the end of the truck backwards. He fell and his head struck the hard sur- face of the roadway and he sus- tained @ fracture skull. He was taken at once to the Waterbury hospital but was dead upon arrival.
 T find that the death of Sheri- dan Delaney" the finding con- cludes, twas due to Q fracture of the skull sustained in the manner heretofore described but that said death was not due to the criminal negligence of the driver of the truck Anthony Lacilla."
 The following witnesses were questioned by the deputy coroner: Joseph Ficeto, 5i South Leonard street. Joseph Garafano, 90l Bank street, Vincent Lasky, 796 Bank street, Constable Charles Loomis of Middiehury, and Anthony Lacilla, the driver.

TAVERNS CHANGE TO AURANTS
Owners Find Privileges Opportunities More At-
 traCtive; Strict on Law

In Waterbury, as elsewhere about the state, there is being noted a strong trend on the part of tavern owners to secure restaurant beer permits. A more or less concerted rush has been noted during the past flew weeks with applications from tavern operators for restaurant beer permits flooding the ofiice of the State Liquor Control Commission.
 Since the 1887 general Assembly amended the liquor laws many tav- ern men have been rushing to have their permits changed. Under the law now, both tavern and reStau- rant beer permits each cost $l60. A restaurant liquor permit, with full privileges, costs $750.
 Restaurants can remain open on Sunday, whereas taverns cannot. Under the old law, customers could drink at the bar only in a tavern, but now they can drink at the bar in restaurants. Women, however, are not allowed to drink at the bar
 Tavern men seem to believe that they might as well run @ restaurant business, so that they can remain open Sundays and gain the other advantages that go with a restau- rant permit The commission, how ever, insists that an applicant for Q restaurant license must conduct a real restaurant, and inspectors check closely on the food sold in new restaurants, formerly taverns, that have applied for state licenses.
 In many cases, after a tavern man has started a restaurant busi- ness he has been turned down in his license application because, in the eyes of the commission, his place was not genuine restau- rant.

Reading BecomesL Lost
 Art With Youngsters
School Authorities Finding It More Difficult to Interest
 Pupils-Radio Held Responsible for Change

As Waterbury's army of young Sters watches the days slowly mov- ing towards Wednesday, September 8, the first day of school, school ofn- cials are again faced with a problem in regard to interesting them in the lost art of reading. 1..U
 As each school year gets under way 1t becomes more and more ap- parent that the So-called modern youngsters tend to listen to the radio rather than read.
 Unfortunate
 Dr. Thomas Condon, local super- intendeht of schools, looks upon the situation as unfortunate because in a number of cases during the past few years many otherwise intelli- gent children have failed to pass courses on account of their apathy towards reading and in some cases due toya startling inability.
 In Waterbury, pupils are urged to read at. all times by teachers, but in the light of outside distractions of such Q pieasurable nature as the radio and its sketches" this is e problem which must also be met in the home. It Is generally agreed that the sketches" are wholesome and educational to listen to, but nowadays whose complete source of literary" information Is the radio. Parents are urged to moderate this and to stress Q little more formal reading.
 Years Ago
 Looking back twenty or thirty years, one of the greatest difilculties was to stop children from reading too much. At that time, according to the old stories, every other large- sized geography book opened in class room was usually being used to cover uR a "King Brady" or Q James Boys" hair-raiser.
 And It's not 50 long ago when the

Made Gompers Leader
BY RAY FITZPATRICK

The fusion Idea seems to be in the air. In Waterbury the republi- cans and independent democrats have merged [ heir forces and, though not labelling their movement as that of 6 fusion party, they have both nominated the same candidates for office. Furthermore, leaders and canvassers of both factions are working hand in hand. New fusion talk Is heard from Bridgeport and elsewhere.
 Tn Bridgeport 1t has been suggest ed that democrats and republicans unite their forces In an effort to iinSeat the socialist regime headed by Mayor Jasper McLevy. This fusion probably never will be ef. fected, but the fact that the plan Is being seriously discussed shows which way the wind is blowing.
 There Is . great deal of import ance attached to the visit of John D. M. Hamilton, chairman of the republican national committee, to the New England states, scheduled for some time this fail. The main purpose of Mir. HamiltOn's trip to the northeast will be to gather an Idea of the present prestige of the Roosevelt administration in thls part of the country. Conversely he will attempt to determine the republicans chances for success In the off-year congressional elec- tons of 1888.
 MT. Hamilton thinks that Mir. Roosevelt has lost much ground in New England, but he wants to see for himself. It is reported that he plans to meet with party leaders Of the six New England states to dis" cuss the chances of urseating pres- ent democratic members of congress from New England who come up for reelection rext year.
 But there will be stlll another purpose to MT. Hamllt0n's visit. It IS no secret that there is
  strong feeling in the g.O.p. ranks that Mir Hamilton should be re. placed by a new chairman of the national committee. He could find no better way to gauge hlS own popularity in his party than by such visits as the one he plans to New England. M
 Should Mir. Hamilton be de. posed. his successor will no doubt be an Eastcrner. Mentioned of- ten and favorably is the iiaiae oI Congressman Martin Of Massa- chuSetts, who was very sctiye in the I036 election campaign. Many leaders of the party feel that Con- gressman Martin lwse incidental ly is \ brother of Albert Martin, locnl newepapeEmali, would be ais excellent party leader.
