Warns Against Despair.

He said a psychology of con.

Justice Goldsborough let 1t be
known that he did not place much

not the UNIV welfare fund would
support 500 pensions. In the dis

marked, that actuaries reach a

Attorneys Bastian and Shipe
argued for Mr.. Lewis that all men,
bers of the UNIV are eligible for
pension and welfare benefits, rather
than just the employees of the op-
orators who signed the contract, and
the judge upheld their argument.
Says Fund Complies With Law.
Justice Goldsborough said the
present contract was made between
the bituminous coal operators and
the United Mine Workers" and not
between the operators and their
employees.
He said that provisions OF the
Taft Hartley Act governing welfare
funds were literally complied with
in the contract. He pointed out
that the agreement states that the
detailed basis upon which payments
are to be made from the fund are
to be worked out in writing by the
trustees.
The court declared that there
should be no difference in the power
of any of the three trustees, hence
Mr.. Van Horn lacks authority to
veto the suggestions Of Mr.. Lewis
and Senator Bridges.

bring to an end the sporadic clashes
between the peasants and govern
ment troops, who frequently were
joined by civil guards.
Fighting broke out after the elec-
ton of the late. President Manuel

peace parleys failed and Taruc fled
Manila in August. 1916. He had been
in the capital to conduct negotia-
tions and to pursue claim for his
seat in the House of Representatives.

Pampanga Province-was disputed
by charges of fraud.

Taruc, in an interview, reaffirmed
that he is a Filipino Communist, but
denied having anything to do with
international communism.
Il am no more under Stains or
ders than am President Truman's,"
he asserted. Il and my associates
most emphatically are Filipino ma
