unofficially, demanded that Con-
gress require the parties to ar
britate by law and ban all strikes
for six months. Small denounced
Lewis as a breeder of industrial
chaos"
Stand by Asked
AS the latest presidential effort
to gain a settlement came to moth
ing, Ross told reporters that rep
resentatives of the wine workers
and the operators were asked to
"stand by for further conversa-
tions.' When these talks would be
held was not indicated.
But the President, in announcing
his arbitration proposal, had said
the parties had told him their dis
cussions "had completely broken
down and that further negotiations
would be useless"
Gets Answer
The President advanced his sug-
g estion for arbitration at a TO-
minute conference with Lewis and
Charles O'Neill of the operators
this morning, and got his answer
at $50 p. M, as the two returned
for their third White House visit
in two days.
Small, however, discounted in ad-
vance the idea that non-compulsory
measures could bring industrial
peace. In his lengthy statement,
which he emphasized that he issued
as a private citizen, the CPA chief
said on that point:
Legislation Needed
Lacking any sign that labor will
now agree voluntarily to a holiday
Of strikes x or that management
will agree to voluntary arbitration.
I am forced, as a private citizen,
to the reluctant conclusion that
legislation is urgently required"
Small called Lewis methods in
the coal controversy a "glaring ex-
ample" of refusal to accept the
principle that those who exercise
the right to benefits granted by the
public owe San even greater re-
sponsibility and duty to their gov
eminent and its citizens"
Proposes Compulsion
The CPA administrator proposed
compulsory arbitration along with
his six months prohibition plan.
Small asserted that Lewis, by
withholding details of his demands,
has made a travesty of collec-
tive bargaining" He declared that
Lewis brought the economy of the
country to a virtual stop, he pulled
the switch on American industry
and threw it into chaos" He add
ed that sit is time that John l..
Lewis realizes that he is not bigger
than 14O, 900, 900 other people,"
Breathing Spell
Small renewed the statements
he has made to Congressional COM
mittees that industry must have
a breathing spell from strikes and
from threats of strikes and that
six or eight months of uninter-
rupted production would put us
over the hump of initiation dan
ger.
"Hasty legislation written and
debated in the heat and rancor Of
an emergency is almost always apt
to be bad legislation" he said.
Therefore, at this critical juno
ture it seems to me that the sensi-
BILE thing to do would be to pass
emergency and temporary legis-
lation outlawing strikes for at least
the next six months ahead, mean
while permitting collective bar
gaining to 60 forward within the
present wage pattern but imposing
compulsory arbitration in those
cases where collective bargaining
fails.

month ago. Some persons contend
this would relieve union heads
from responsibility under the
Smith, onnally law. They contend
the law provides penalties only
where a strike is called after the
government has seized a plant or
industry.
H. the case of the Illinois Central
railroad, already under govern
ment operation, the workers have
been requested by the trainmen
and engineer unions to remain on
the job. Brotherhood spokesman
say this action was taken to avoid
the risk of a Smith, onnauy vic.
lation.
Wage Prospals
Whitney and Alyanley Johnston,
head of the engineers, said after
today's brief coference that they
had proposed a modified wage
rise of IS percent and a minimum
Of $1.44 a day. This compares
with their original demand Of Is
percent and a floor Of $3.50 a day
The carrier representatives said
they stood ready to settle on the
basis of 16 cent an hour, or $1.2s
a day for an eight-hour day but
cannot 60 beyond that" They saio
three boards, two arbitration ano
one residetial emergency board,

Christmas Candy Treat
Planned For Riddles

Headed by Chester Huprich, who
is serving again as chairman of the
committee, plans are being COM
pleted by the Noble County Cham
ber of Commerce for their annual
Christmas treat for all the kiddieS
in the confines of this county.
The same system will be followed
as in the past and Monday after
noon, Dec. %, at 2 o'clock, is the
date and time. The place will be
the Noble theatre in Caldwell.
Five different cartoons have been
secured by Mr.. Huprich, who also
owns and operates the Noble thea
tre. They were especially selected
with an appeal to children.
1t will be necessary to have two
showings of the free pictures and
more if necessary.
The children will be given their
candy treat as they leave the thea
tre.
The Noble county schools will
have been dismissed for the annual
Christmas vacation the previous
Friday evening and the local schools
are cooperating in that they will
dismiss classes that afternoon.
1t is anticipated that at least 400
kiddies will flock to Caldwell for
the treat.
Each and every family in every
community and by-lane of the
county is extended an invitation to
be in Caldwell on that date.

Adopt New Rules

Strip Mining Commission today

of strip mining which it will ask

A bill ordered prepared for pre-

2-Require both the operator and
land owner to furnish the point bond
of $1,000 minimum and $100 addi-
tional for ell land to be stripped in
excess of 10 acres.
This bond would require the
faithful performance of the follow
ing:
1-Covering all seams and breaks
when an operation is abandoned so
no coal will be exposed to air and
other elements of weather.
2-Building of access roads for
fire control throughout the area.
3-Leave no cones or spoil banks
with tops less than eight feet in
diameter or width.
4-Planting of suitable cover crops
on spoil banks to guard against ero-
sion at a cost not to exceed $50 per
acre, the kind of coverage approved
by the director of the agricultural
experiment station.

ILLEGAL RACKET FLOURISHES AS
TWO SLOT MACHINES ARE LIFTED

1t was common knowledge to
many that slot machines were being
operated in Noble county by several
business places but a new wrinkle
arose over the weekend when two
slot machines were lifted" from
two different places by thieves.
Since it is illegal to have ma
chimes in your place of business, a
check at the office of local officials,
revealed that no report of the theft
had been made.
Officials did state this was a part
of a state wide racket now being
pulled in Ohio.
The thieves operate in much the
same manner. They will go into the
restaurant or filling station, ask for
something which takes the atten-
dant out of the room for a few min
utes, quickly pick up the slot ma
cine and deposit it in their car and
away they go, money, slot machine
and what have you.
The thieves were at least con-
siderate of one filling station north
of Caldwell. They ordered kerosene
and left dollar and a quarter as
payment But the quarter was a
German coin.
AS a rule, officials pointed out
slot machines in this part of the
state are not bolted down, for the
simple reason that the owners might
have to get rid of them in a hurry
Consequently the illegal lifting"
racket is proving very profitable.

Health Board
Declares GRAY
Fox A Menace
Commissioners Are
Asked To Place
Bounty On Animals

At the December meeting of the
Noble county board of health, Sat-
urday, plans were discussed for
much needed cooperation between
the board and the Noble county
commissioners as the only solution
to the gray fox menace in this
county.
Dr.. N. S. Reed, county health
physician, met with the commits
sloners Monday relative to the
above problem. The commissioners
fully agreed that the menace should
be erased but at the present time,
the county lacked the necessary
funds to place a bounty on the gray
fox.
The only ray of light which the
commissioners would promise might
take place next January, when the
annual appropriation is made and
a fund set aside for this bounty.
In the meantime, the cooperation
of the Noble county game warden
and dog warden has been secured
and the order has gone out to kill
all gray foxes.
According to DR.. Reed, it is very
pOSSIDIG IIldL HudI dIlLlIle Will De
placed on all dogs in the county, in
an efofrt to avert any additional
cases of rabies here.
But DR.. Reed maintains this will
not prevent the fox menace and he
is urging all fox hunters to take to
the woods as often as possible and
kill as many of the foxes as they
can.
No recent cases of the gray fox
attacks have been reported to the
health board but seven people are
still receiving the anti-rabies shots.
The Noble county health board
also released a statement today that
at their next meeting on Saturday,
January 4, at l o'clock in the court
house, applicants will be inter-
viewed for the positions of health
doctor health nurse and clerk of
the board. All applicants interested
should attend this meeting for a
