his turbulent career.
TWenty-seven coal miners were
killed in this tragedy, caused by a
gas explosion. Howard Lewis,
brother of John L., is superinten-
dent of this mine. John l.. was
in nearby indianapolis when the
disaster occurred, and rushed TO
West frankfort where he immed-
lately went into a huddle with ms
brother and United Mine Worker
and state officials.
But, despite Lewis soaring de-

SWITZERLAND
STRIKE WAVE
By ERNEST G. FISCHER
AP Neausfeatures

GENEVA - Switzerland, which
was virtually free of labor disturb
ances during the war and in the
immediate postwar period, recent
ly has had series of localized
strikes with threats of a general
strike in the building trades.
There have been brief, local
strikes by plasterers and paper
hangers in Bern, Biel, Basel and
Lugano. Geneva has had strikes
in the building trades and in
Matchmaking. Relatively weak
segments of the textile workers
unions have staged two strikes in
the Zurich area.
Throughout the canton of Eur
ich there was a two-weeks strike
of physicians who said that the
fees paid under the health-insur-
ance system were inadequate.
In every instance the complaint
has been that wage increases have
not kept up with living costs in
creases. The employers, making
concessions in some instances,
have replied that their production
costs have increased, but that
prices of their products are con-
trolled by the government.
The government explains that
the freeze on wages must be main
tanned to combat imitation, and that
price ceilings must be observed to
enable the domestic consumer to
buy and to enable the exporter to
compete on the world market.
