Labor Board
Hearing Starts
Here Monday

c. w. Whittmire, Trial Exam
liner for the National Labor Re-
lations Board, has been conduct
ing a hearing here this week of
the charges brought by the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America
against the Clinchfield Coal Cor
poration for alleged unfair labor
practices in an effort to keep the
United Mine Workers from be-
coming the bargaining agent for
employees of the corporation
Progress in hearing the testi-
mony has been rather slow this
week, and from present indica-
tons the hearing will last from
two to three weeks. Attorneys
for the Labor Board are Earl K.
Shave, Albert P. Wheatley and
Keith w. Blinn. The corporation
has the services of William A.
Stuart, Of Abingdon, Walter Lee
Rush of Clintwood and M. NJ
Heuser of Norton.
Thebetter part of the first
day was taken up by the plea of
Clinchfield attorneys for the
transfer of the hearing from the
county court house to Clinchco.
1t was claimed that coal produc-
ton at Clinchco would suffer
serious dislocation'' if superin-
tendent Adams should have to
attend the hearing in Clintwood
instead of at Clinchco. The de-
cision of the trial examiner, in
so many words, was that trial
should not be held in the house
of the accused, and the motion
was denied.
During the afternoon two wit
nesses, Alfred Hamilton and D.
c. Frazier, were examined. They
testified of coercion of employees
by company officials back in
1888 to form an employees asso-
citation as a protection against
the United Mine Workers. Solic-
itors of membership were in
structed, it was alleged, to tell
the men to *'sign up or get to
r-L off the job"
During the second and third
days of the hearing, several wit
nesses were put on the stand to
substantiate the charges of the
Mine Workers. The first witness
to be called at the start of the
second days proceedings was
Wexford Powers of Darwin, for
mer employee at Clinchco. When
efforts were first made to form
the Employees Association at
Clinchco, according to the wit
ness, he refused to join but be-

Yule Accidents
Mar Festivities

Christmas is usually the happiest
day of the year, but at the same time
1t is day in which many serious
home accidents are likely to occur,
unless certain precautions are taken.
In fact three times as many
fatalities caused by fires occur In
December. as in July. when the
nation celebrates with firecrackers,
Roman candles and the like. About
twice as many people die from
burns, scalds and explosions, ex-'
cepting conaag rations, during the
last month Of the year as compared
with July, and there are twice as
many firearm fatalities in the homes
this month as there are in July,
according to the National Safety
Council.
Lightweight materials, tree decor
atoms or even ''Santa Claus" himself
may catch fire from candles. II

it may be far less expensive to pur-
chase small set Of bulbsEand wiring

Falls from icy steps and walks,
especially when they are covered
with snow, are among the most
common accidents of the Yuletide
season. Although 1t may give an
unattractives appearance, scattering
ashes or sand over the ice may pre-
vent a broken arm or leg, or perhaps
fatal injury to member of the
family or to visitors.

floor, stairs or in a doorway fire.
quently cause injuries to those step
ping on them when the room is in
semi-darkness.
Highly-polished, waxed floors and
icy shoes form a combination that
increases the danger from falls.
Fatigue from keeping late hours
during the holiday season and the
hurry associated with Christmas
preparations are likewise conducive
to home accidents.

What Dickens Thought
About Christmas

Christmas time! That man must
be a misanthrope indeed, in whose
breast something like jovial feel
ing is not aroused-in whose mind
some pleasant associations are not
awakened--by the recurrence of
Christmas.
Who can be insensible to the out
pourings of good feeling, and the
honest interchange Of affectionate
attachment which abound at this
season of the year? A Christmas
family party! We know nothing in
nature more delightful! There seems
a magic in the very name of Christ
mas. Petty jealousies and discords
are forgotten; social feelings are
awakened in bosoms to which they
have long been strangers; father
and son, or brother and sister, who
have met and passed with averted
gaze, or a look Of cold recognition,
for months before, proffer and return
the cordial embrace, and bury their
past animosities in their present
happiness. Kindly hearts that have
yearned toward each other, but have
been withheld by false notions Of
pride and seH-dignity, are again
reunited, and all is kindness and
benevolence! Would that Christmas
lasted the whole year through Gas it
ought), and that the prejudices and
passions which deform our better
nature were never called into action
among those to whom they should
ever be strangers! az
