EXTRA POLICE CALLED TO
PREVENT Mine DISORDER
(Coneinued from Page One)
Feeling Reported High

INCilliS ANNPOA bSN
Feeling is reported at a high pitch
Is residents have watched the "invad-
ars" who have poured into Grantsville
daily since union mines in the Appala-
chan region shut down.
Almost to a man the people of the
Grantsville community are opposed to
the concentration there of union min
ers from Allegany county and the two
coal-mining states adjoining, and term
it a plain "invasion."
"Those men have no business COM
ing here" said one of the miners.
ave are satisfied with what we are
getting and we want to work"
People of Grantsville and farmers of
the entire community were outspoken
in their condemnation of the attitude
of Sheriff J. W. Owens, while the Off
GER takes the position that he has done
all he could under the law,
eve miners feel that in case of trou
Die we wouldn't get any help from
him." said one.
One of the mine operators said
Owens refused to appoint any depu-
ties to preserve law and order, when
they asked for protection, taking the
position that his bond as an officer
would be held responsible for anything
done by the deputies. Owens also said
ne was only trying to avert trouble.
Grantsville Mines Employ 200
The mines about Grantsville, en-
ploying from $50 to 200 men, are not
organized. Most of the men engaged
in the work are either residents of the
town of Grantsville or live nearby and
have continued operations during the
shutdown of union bituminous mines
pending negotiations of the wage and
hour agreement with the United Mine
Workers head, John L. Lewis.

 A. MT. Leary.

 A. Yes.
 e. When did you first have any conversation with MT. Leary about such employment2
 A. Possibly a week before Jan- nary 193O.
 @. Where did you have that con- versation with MT. Leary?
 "A. In the lounge room adjacent to the mayors office in the City Hall.
 e. Will you tell the jury what MT. Leary said to you on that oc- casion about your prospective en- ployment for the City of Waterbury?
 A. He told me that he was con- templating the appointment of James Purcell, the chief accountant of the City of Waterbury, and he felt that MT. Purcell had the abil- ity but he was uncertain as to the experience MT. Purcell had in gen. eral accounting, and requested me that when MT. Purcell started early in 1930 that I would come down and work with MT. Purcell and do all I could to get him started on the work for the City of Waterbury.
 e.. In pursuance, as result of that talk, did you in fact, after MT. Purcell started his work, engage ill working in the controllers office? A. I did.
 @. Will you tell us what the work was that you did at the be- ginning of your employment?
 Faulty System
 A. The first thing MT. Purcell and I did was to work at the rec ords as they existed in the previ- ous administration. We found nu- merous analysis papers in hand writing left. It was a difficult and cumbersome method of keeping rec ords of the controllers office in- solar as the general ledger is con- cerned which is the main book of the City of Waterbury. In con- junction with it, MT. Leary told me that he had been speaking with MT. Robinson of Griffenhagen As-

 e. Can you tell us some Of Che other work you did in 1e909 A. MT. Purcell and T worked to- gether on the preparation Of the financial statement that MT. Leary wanted to have prepared for the first six months of 1880. And we worked in conjunction with particu- lar data for that statement which was a statement showing the rev- enue and disbursements for the first six months of that year. worked and MT. Purcell worked and we both checked against data which supplied that information. e. Will you tell US something else you worked on in 1880? A. Subsequently, I worked on the analysis of the surplus resource sinking fund in preparation for the audit that would be made at the end of the year.
 l @. What was the next service in 1880 that you can think of? A. I did work on various sched- ules and exhibits that were neces- sary for the work in the controllers office during 1880.
 1ssiq
 A. In 1881 I worked with MT. Purcell on the reconciliation state- ments which have been put in evil dence.
 Q. What other work did you do in 1881 after the period during which you helped with the reconcil- iation sheets that I have shown you?
 Upstairs Office A. I worked in the upstairs of- flee in the third floor in the prepa- ration of the reconciliation of the payroll accounts and the reconcilia- ton of the individual accounts of the payroll.
 Q. What other work did you do? A. The work that I did subse- quent to the preparation of these reconciliations, in 1881 and 1892 I worked on numerous cases of the re- ] conciliations for the payroll only.

sociates who at that time were working on the charter commission, and Mir Robinson had informed him of the fact that Griffenhagen As- sociates had installed various book keeping machines for Sne state of Connecticut in the state capitol, and he thought it would be a good plan for MT. Purcell and myself to visit Mir. Robinson in his office in Hart ford and have him show us the in- stallation in the state capitol.
 Q. Did you subsequently, and after that conversation with MT. Leary accompany MT. Purcell to Hartford for the purpose you have talked about?
 A. I did.
 Q. When you got to Hartford what did you do?
 A. We went to the office of Grif- fenhagen Associates. MT. Robin son escorted us to the state capitol and showed us various installations they had put in the state capitol
 @. Did he point out to you any particular type of machine that he thought on the basis of your conver- sation with him was machine that you should install in the book keeping department in the control ler's office?
 A. No. He felt that the re- quirements of the City of Waterbury in the controllers office would be somewhat different from any par ticular machine that was installed These machines were all installed on the basis of individual requirements, but he did show us generally the advantages derived from bookkeep- ing machine installed in the office of the controller.
 Q. After your visit, did you re- port your conversation to MT. Leary?
 A. I did.
 Joint Recommendation
 o. Did you along with MT. Pur- cell join in any recommendation concerning the installing of book keeping machine instead of the hand bookkeeping methods that were in vogue?
 A. After we made further inves- tigation in the controllers office, early in 193O, MT. Purcell and I joined in recommending to the con- troller the purchase of this book

he worked on them in the depart ment or someplace else.
 @. In the questions put to you by MT. Alcorn, you used the phrase taken out" Did you mean to con- vey that you had no knowledge that the books were worked on at ar1- other place than in the department over the weekend? A. No. MT. Alderman used the phrase, "Ill come and get them."
 So I don't know.
 o. As a matter of fact, the books were left on the desk by you and

scription of the various books he had installed in the office of the well fare department.
 Before any bookkeeping system or machine had been proposed or bought, he said, the system had been in operation. Alderman said that he was instrumental to a certain de- gree, in 1884, in the purchase of the Remington Rand system for use in the welfare department. When he entered the office, he said, "there was no coordinated method to show the actual members or num- Der of families on relief"
 To combat this he said, he put into use, 8 large book of names. which was also for use in connection with the Emergency Relief commission. This book which, was one of several placed in evidence yesterday, he said, was used to assist in the preparation of state, town and city bills for well fare.
 Tn connection with the require ment for keeping records of state bills, Alderman said, it was neces- sary, under the law to give the state notification. within i've days. of re- lief given.

Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
guess the number of parties
we've had this week have kept
most of US quite busy haven't they,
especially those of US who have
other rawther important things to
think of too. The Kappa Alpha
Psi Frat started the week off with
lovely party given at the Glen
wood Chalet. Saw the SAM
RANSOMS greeting the guests as
they came in. WARREN Girls
SOM and LOIS SUTTON both
looked sharp in their white suits.
(Lois got kind-hearted in the mid
die of the dance and went over and
helped the base violinist dish out
a few mellow chords). What
young Mpls. man had on one black
shoe on the right foot and a black
and white shoe on the left foot? Il
wonder was it the excitement of
taking that certain st. Paul gal to
the dance. You know he's been that
way about her for awhile and that's
the first time I've seen him with
her at a dance). BRUTUS and
FLORENCE CASSIUS were both
having a too fine time swinging to
the mellow music. The DAVE
FRANCIS and their house guests,
the PERCY LEES, were having a
grand time greeting and meeting
various friends. DIR. and MRS.
j. w. CRUMP were looking as
happy as young engaged couple.
The following members of the
fairer sex added much to the gaiety
and attractiveness of the party:
MILDRED BOHANON, who look
ed sophisticated in white lace;
RACHEL JAMES was sweet i'm
pale blue lace trimmed in tulle;
PEGGY LAZENBERRY was very
striking in a low necked, white or
ganza; MAE HATCHER adorable
in a peach chiffon gown. In fact,
most all of the women present
looked just "swell." DON BON
APARTE was all smiles and seems
happy as anything to be back in
town. SIR NORMAN Light
escorted LADY" ANNE HORRIS
to the party. =. The ANDY
OWENS are one couple who always
look as if they're having one fine
time.
Well, let's leave the Kappa party
and dash over to the Credjafawn
party, which was given at the Co.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1939-06-30
Poetic Thoughts
Travelling Alone
By MORRIS GIBBS, ST..

Some people like independence so much,
They hesitate to have any one touch
Their personal liberty which they value so high,
Rather travel alone be a hermit when they die.
You can live in this world, just so long,
By yourself but your heart is without a song,
For loneliness comes without any notice,
Which is to all not any novice.
It's what you put into life that you receive
For we cannot take all and still believe
That happiness is for US, as happiness is realized
When we forget self, then we're never penalized
Travelling alone is a long, weary road
No one to comfort Tighten your load,
To share your problems and help you through,
When travelling alone you always have different view
Marriage was instituted by the Infinite Ones foresight
That His children needed companionshp to live right
So He planned it best to travel double,
To keep every one happy and out of trouble.
Yes-we can travel alone away from the world
By keeping fundamentals then won't be hurled,
In the 1otsam and jetsam of LIES stormy sea,
That makes mockery of true liberty.
