Lewis Successful
In Que|Iing Revolt
By Coal Unions
Pennsylvania Locals Vote
To End Strike Against
Increased c. |. O. Dues

By the Associated Press.
HAZLETON, Pa, Oct. 4-John L.
Lewis appeared today to have put
down a rank and file revolt by some
25,oo0 of his United Mine Workers
In Pennsylvania sprawling an
thraclte fields.
His personal appeal for return to
work of miners striking against in
creased dues and assessments
brought immediate Affirmative ac-
ton from "a of Al locals in the
unions Hazleton District 7, where
the revolt centered.
A membership of I,071 is repre-
sented by units approving return to
the mines Monday. Four locals with
2,348 members rejected the plea,
while three others with member
ship of 1854 delayed their vote.
$4,000 Had Been Idle.
Thus, apparently, was ended the
work stoppage which kept more than
$1,000 idle in District 7 nearly a
month at peak of the summer rush
season. Some 10000 diggerS in the
two other districts of the anthracite
fields Joined the revolt from time
to time, but most of them are back
at their jobs.
The walkout was direct chal-
lenge to union leadership with the
insurgents repeatedly ignoring or
ders of their district officials to re-
turn to the mines. Besides pro-
testing a dues boost from 81 to $150
a month and an assessment increase
from 81 to s6 a year, the strikers of
District demanded removal of
their district leaders on charges
they used dictatorial methods.
Lewis representatives investigat-
Ing the revolt insisted that the
miners return to work and submit
their grievances through machinery
set up for that purpose, but there
was no move in this direction until
the head of the powerful C. I. o.
union stepped in personally and
called for referendum to end what
he termed an illegal strike.
Promises Action.
Declaring the unions honor was
affected and the integrity of its
contracts at stake, Mr.. Lewis PROM
ised that Immediately upon resump-
ton of operations machinery would
begin to operate in the fastest de-
gree possible to consider their pro-
tests.
While locals acted on his plea yes
terday, insurgents sent so carloads
of pickets into District 8 in an effort
to win more supporters, but the
miners there ignored them.
Revolt Leader Garrett Miller ap-
peared at meeting of the Tamaqua
Local to urge against returning to
work and members voted SO to So to
follow his recommendation. There
was no announcement as to Mr..
Miller's next move.

In Extortion Triul
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The secre-
tary to Maj Albert Warner Of War
ner Bros. Pictures today identified
William Bioff, West Coast labor
leader, as the man who came to her
office on three occasions in 1896 to
collect large envelopes which Maj.
Warner had left in her care.
Bioff and George E. Browne, presi-
dent of the International Alliance Of
Theatrical Stage Employees "a. F.
L., are on trial in Federal Court
charged with extorting $3.50, 900 from
motion picture producers in violation
of the Federal AntiRacketeering
Act.
Mai Warner previously testified
that he paid $4,000 to Bioff and
described methods of payment,
methods which his secretary, Mrs.
Ilene Foreman Werbach, corrobo-
rated in her testimony. Maj. War
ner testified he made cash payments
to Bioff by placing the money in
envelopes and leaving them with
his secretary for Bioff to pick up.
Samuel Carlisle, controller of
Warner Bros. admitted under cross
examination that he made false en-
tries in the company's books under
instructions from Maj. Warner to
cover payments allegedly made to
Bioff.
Mr.. Carlisle described a purported
meeting in his office in 1886 when.
he said, Maj. Warner brought Bioff
in and explained that Bioff wanted
$4,000
II offered him q check-but I ex-
pected that he would refuse it." Mr..
Carlisle testified. adding that Bioff
did refuse the check and insisted on
cash payment.
Asked why he did not draw a
check to cash" and cash it at a
bank, the witness explained that
cash checks must have an explain
ing voucher and I'd have to account
for it. I didn't want to accept re-
spensibility for putting Bioff's name
on the books or for what might
happen"

Facts Regarding
Angina Pectoris

A NGINA pectoris-breast pang
: i not only frightens the patient
but frightens the entire family, as
these ''heart attacks" are distress
ing to endure and even to watch.
There is a strangling, vise-like pain
In the chest over the heart or under
the breast bone which is brought on
by physical effort (exercise) or emo
tional disturbance It lasts but a
short time, during which the patient
stands In whatever position he hap
pens to be In at the time and as he
stands he has the feeling that if he
makes the slightest move it may be
his last.
Angina pectoris is often caused by
the heart muscle 1.-THE muscle which
pumps the blood from the heart to
all parts of the body not receiving
enough blood from the little blood
vessels which supply the heart mus
Gle with blood from the general sup
ply as it circulates throughout the
body. Naturally, if the heart
muscle does not get enough pure
blood it cannot work, that is, pump
the blood from the heart to all parts
of the body, and so no movement is
made by the patient to make the
heart muscle do any work until it
gets a little more pure blood into
it with which to continue work.
These attacks of angina pectoris
are really life savers" because the
individual learns what is likely to
bring on an attack-heavy work, ex-
element, a fit of anger or other
emotional disturbance-and so by
living carefully he is enabled to live
a useful and often a long life.
Most angina patients carry little
pearls (thin glass tubes) of amyl
nitrite, that can be easily broken in
a handkerchief and inhaled, which
soon ends the attack

ward on a cot, raised his face as
the steel door opened on the little
hole to which he was confined. His
alert, beady black eyes searched the
face Of his visitor, and he sat up
as recognition came to his face.
Hello, Benning," he said, his face
unaccountably Frightening. so it's
you come after me, Ell? Well, I'm
glad, if must be hanged, that it's to
be an American job"
Merely a little visit, Bromlitz,"
Benning answered. I'm not to take
you home, but you'll understand my
confession of qualification that you've
been run down at last. Corporal Hill,
the man you killed, was a member
Of my company"
They engaged in strained con-
versation. Benning prolonged his
visit while he studied Bromlitz for
his own purposes. He asked many
questions Of the Bronllitz stay In
Luxembourg, which the prisoner an
swered freely. He was sharply puz-
lied by the evident good humor that
his visit had brought to the fellow.
But BronlitZ' parting words cleared
up that enigma.
May I ask you a special favor,
Benning?" Bromlitz asked as Ben
ming rose to go.
The prisoner was suddenly SOL
emn, there was a pleading note in
his voice, a beseeching look In his
black eyes.
II owe you no favors, Bronlitz,"
Benning said brusquely.
"A very little favor to a man who
must de-" the other implored. Let
me tell you, Benning, and you
mustn't say no. Your coming here
has greatly relieved my mind.
was-suspicious that I must have
been betrayed to the French, but
now I know it was the American
secret service that caught up with
me. A small distinction you say?
But an important one to me. The
one fine thing In my life has been,
Benning, a girl, whom hoped soon
to marry. Please will you take
message to her at Luxembourg? Tell
her was killed by train, drowned
tell her anything but the truth. She
must think me dead. Out of her
loyalty she might wait for me
through empty years, and she's too
fine for that ordeal. Please let her
think I'm honorabIy dead and can't
ever return. You'll do that for me,
please, Benning!"
