MERTON CASE
 RVAlINC FIRST
 IN ODD TOUCHES

Pittsburgh, June 22-(UP)-The Weirton Steel Go. hearing which began here last March and prom iseses to continue for some time is acquiring some of the drama that made the original Weirton hearing of several years ago classic that will be long remembered.
 sch happenings as the special +, CT falling off the bench, attor- neys dozing in an all-but-deserted courtroom, and a counsel breaking a window while 8 witness com- plsined about his nervous condition are giving the present hearing touch that recalled some Of the occurrences during the old case.
 The current hearing grew out of charges by the National Labor Re- lations Board that Weirton, in rec ognizing the Weirton Independent Union, Inc, is in contempt Of a Third Circuit Court of Appeals or der directing the disbanding of two company-dominated unions. Spe- cial Master Drayton Heard will re- port to the court.
 First Filled 10000 Pages
 The original hearing, result oi unfair labor practice charges filed by the old Steel Workers Organiz- ing Committee, now the United Steel Workers of America, began Aug. Is, 1887, and wound up IT months later, on Jan. 30, 1889.
 In the interim, the hearing shift ed from New Cumberland, w. Va, to Steubenville, O., to Pittsburgh and Washington, D. C., with one or more performances at each of these cities. Harried stenographers took down 8,0OO,00O words of testimony. enough to fill 10000 pages, listened to 40 witnesses and marked 4,000 exhibits.
 The original trial examiner, Ed ward G. Smith, now deceased, once was hanged in efigy in Steubenville because he barred Weirton counsel Clyde A. Armstrong from the hear ing, and 5000 workers and their families threatened to march on the Steubenville court, forcing re- moval of the hearing to Pittsburgh. Smith twice broke marble slabs due to too-vigorous pounding of his gavel to restore order; an NLRB attorney complained bitterly of someone in the audience jingling coins to annoy him, and of a com- pany attorney absent -mindedly twirling his watch on chain. Smith later resigned as trial exam iner and James c. Batten replaced him.
 Calls for Doctor
 At the present hearing, an NLRB attorney was so rattled by the preg- nant condition of woman witness that he asked for a recess while a doctor was brought into court to stand by Douglas Freshour, former WIU official and now CIO or ganizer, once complained that a group of men in the audience were staring at him, making his nervous. Freshour was on the stand for Is days as he was examined, cross examined and examined again until he reached the point where it seemed he might collapse.
 The new hearing also might rival the old in the number of words on the record and the number of exhibits introduced. Tn session since March 19. the hearing is expected to last eight months and amass 30,000 pages of testimony. To date 4,o00 pages of testimony have been transcribed and 220 exhibits marked.

GOVERNOR FAILS TO SIC N BILLS
Unusual Interest Centered in Fate of Several Water=
 bury Measures

Waterbury bills pertaining to pen- sions, charter changes, etc, have not yet been received by Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin from the leglsla- tive expressing clerk, and there fore remain unabridged and un- signed by the chief executive.

Rotation Keeps Garden Producing

and drier variety, are the standard sweet potatoes recommended for the home garden. Plants are spaced 15 to 18 inches in rows three to four feet apart. Fifty feet of row will require three dozen plants, and should yield one bushel of this nutritious vegetable. Rotenone, either as dust or spray, will control the insect pests.
 Spring planted "everbearing strawberries. which have had their blossoms removed, as per instructions by this and other gar- den writers, will soon begin to produce other blossoms, and fruits may be expected by the gardener in mid-August. Cutting the blos- soms from young plants strength ens the vines and results in better berries.
 Peaches and plums which, for tunately, Withstood the late freezes in most sections, may well be thinned after the June drop. There should be six to eight inches between peaches and four to five inches between plums. Thinning produces fewer but ever so much better fruits.
 Asparagus cutting should cease in all but the most northerly gar- dens by late June, and liberal top dressing of old manure, or Victory Garden fertilizer, applied to encourage a vigorous summer growth of foliage. The common asparagus beetle grubs hatch out as this growth develops and feed on the leaves. Dusting with lead arsenate or rotenone will control these and other beetles.
 Beware of the Japanese beetles mo poison is known to kill them. Pick them of and place in a can of kerosene.
