Violence Flares
For Second Day in
Coal Mine WaIkout
Two Shot, Many Stoned
By Pickets in Effort
To Go Back to Work

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 18.
UP)-Violence flared again
today in the Pennsylvania
West Virginia captive coal
mine fields as the United
Mine Workers union massed pickets
to persuade" recalcitrant members
not to work.
At Gary, w. Va, close by the
Kentucky-V Virginia state line, two
Negro members of an Independent
union were shot and wounded when
they participated in an attempt to
charge a picket line at the number
10 mine of the United States Coal
and Coke company.
Pennsylvania motor police were
sent to two United States Steel
corporation captive mines in Fayette
county when augmented picket
lines got out of hand. A picket line
of 100 threatened non-striker at
the Red Lion mine in Fayette coun-
ty when his automobile grazed a
picket. At the neighboring Romeo
mine, pickets allegedly stoned union
members who sought to go to work.
GUARD CALLED OUT
Guardsmen took up posts at Bir-
mingham today, ready for any need
that might arise in connection with
threatened disturbances in steel
mills of the heavily induStrialized
Birmingham area.
1t was understood that they would
not take part in any possible efforts
by the army to take over captive
coal mines.
Gov. Frank M. Dixon said in
Montgomery that the men were CIV
en- orders to stand by in the event
of trouble at steel mills. While the
strength of the detachment was not
officially announced. a survey Of
its encampment on the outskirts OF
the city Indicated that more than

President John Donohue of
El Centre chamber Of com
mcrcc Tuesday was on rec
ord as favoring the elimina-
tion of all highway adVertiS-
ing of Imperial Valley towns indi-
vidually outside the corporate limits

Instead House Speaker Sam Ray
burn left a conference with the
President to report that 81 don't
think it will be very long" before
congress begins considering legiS-
lation to curb strikes.
Almost simultaneously, Chairman
Mary T Norton, D. N. j., of the
house labor committee announced
what many considered an apparent
effort by the administration to fore
stall potential legislation drastically
restricting defense strikes. House
hearings will start tomorrow, Mrs.
Norton said, on a confidential bill
to revamp the National Defense
Mediation Board and give its deci-
sions the force of law. The an
nOuncement came after President
Roosevelt had discussed Strike-curb
legislation with his congressional
leaders.
The Presidents only public pro-
nOuncement on strikes was a mes
sage to the CLOS fourth annual
convention calling upon the union
lists for production without inter-
ruption" of the nations defense
effort The convention already had
ratified the mine strike, and Presi-
dent Philip Murray said the con-
vention will frame an answer to
Mr.. Roosevelt sometime later, but
not today
CONGRESS RESENTFUL
Growing congressional unrest at
Mr.. Roosevelt's delay in eXerting
leadership to assure continued de-
fense production came to a head
in the announcement of Rep. How
ard w. Smith. D., Va, that he
would introduce his new bill to
curb strikes in the house today.
The bill would forbid mass picket
ing, sympathy and boycott strikes,
and any strike not already approved
by a secret ballot of the workers.
1t also provides protection for nom
striking workers.
Smith told the house that two
innocent miners in West Virginia
were shot down in cold blood by
CIO pickets." He referred to a
clash at a captive pit in Gary. w

BOARD REVISIONS
Mrs. Norton would not discuss de-
tails of her measure other than to
say that the reconstructed NDMB
would be empowered to issue in

a labor dispute which did not abide
by its findings. She said the in
functions would be in effect for a
maximum of 80 days. at the end Of
