ADMINISTRATION continued to-
day of the riot here Saturday night
in which three Negroes and
three white persons were injured
and the Florence home guard unit
called out to restore peace after

fare was congested with a Satur-
day night crowd.
Negroes, whites and military
personnel fought, Sheriff McLaruin

riot formation, arrived at II pm.
Burch announced shortly after
midnight that the situation was

Or the leadership of the United
Mine Workers today when he rul
ed his only opponent for the presi-
dency was ineligible and the con-
vention approved an extension OF
the new terms of office from two
to four years.
Another proposed amendment
backed by the Lewis forces would
provide for constitutional conven-
tons every four years instead of
at two-year intervals. The same
number of conventions would be
held but the UMW's basic law could
not be changed at the interim
meetings.
Removal from the ballot as a

The first strike on Edmundso
