St. Louis (LPA) = President
John L. Lewis, United Mine Work
ers-AFL, arrived in West Frank
fort, Ill. Friday to inspect the mine
in which 27 UNIV members were
killed by gas explosion Thursday.
Approximately 200 miners were
working the Old Ben Coal Com
pany's No. mine at the time of
the explosion. Most escaped safe
ly, but 27 men perished, most of
their bodies mangled beyond reco-
gnition by falling rock and debris.
William Gallagher, federal mine
inspector, asserted that gas ex-
plosion caused the cave-in. He said
that the effects of the explosion
had been localized by the recent

Clarksburg, w. Va.-The report
from the national convention given
by delegates Scott, Fazio and Bev-
an was well received and the mem
bers extended a vote Of thanks for
their service.
Bro. Carl Shriver gave a report
of plans for the basket picket pic
mic to be held at Laurel Park on
August 10th. The committee this
year seems to have widened the
scope of activities for the days
outing with the program including
sports of every description, dancing
for the young as well as the old,
and last but not least, refreshments
of a wide variety to satisfy the
needs of the inner man. Tickets are
now on sale and can be purchased
from any member Of the Labor
Management Committee. Let's all
put our shoulder to the wheel and
make this years outing bigger and
better than ever.
AS an added attraction to the
days outing, Bro. Bob Allison has
issued a challenge to all those who
tip the scales a little over the
three-quarter mark for a 50-yard
dash. OK. Bob, but why not fea-
ture this race as 50yard beef

country as a labor member of the
National War Labor Board. He
was hard worker.
Mr.. Watt addressed dozens of
AFL international union and State
Federation of Labor conventions
during the past decade. A foe of
every kind of totalitarianism, he
always spoke up for democracy and
had no patience with apologists for
communistic or other undemocratic
principles. He also appeared fre-
quently before non-labor groups to
explain the detectives of the AM
erican Federation of Labor.
In addition, Mr.. Watt spoke on
the air on innumerable occasions.
He often participated in radio de-
bates, in which he made forceful,
sound presentations of the A. F. of

Local AHoIds
Snoppy Session

Sebring, Ohio-All officers were
present at the last meeting Of
Local Union "A, and the session was
short and snappy with all business
being transacted in record break
ing time. We do not mean to boast
of this as record, but merely use
this means to inform those men,
bers who were conspicuous by their
absence that the little time spent
with your fellow workers on meet
ing nights, promoting the interests
of your trade, takes but little time
and pays big dividends.
The Royal China Co. is building
new addition to their plant. This
company is rapidly expanding and
tends to become one of the largest
in the Sebring district.
Rumors are making the rounds
that one of the large plants in the
district has been sold to New York
interests. Efforts to trace this rum
or to its source have proved futile,
but your O.C. will do little more
sleuthing and if it becomes a real
ity, will inform the trade in my
next letter.
Our delegates to the convention
made their reports of the proceed
ings which were very well receiv-
ed. Several questions were asked
resolutions rejected of
which the members of Local Union
"A were vitally interested.
Our sympathy is extended to the
family of the late Bro. Boardman
in their hour of sorrow.
