Suggestions 10 Name
South Capitol Bridge
Include Stephen Foster

Suggestions for the naming of
the new South Capitol street
bridge were beginning to come into
the Commissioners Office today,
as plans were being completed for
the formai opening Of the bridge
on January IL.
Charles Stof5erg. special assis-
tant to Commissioner John Rus
sell Young, has scheduled meet
ing with representatives of South
east citizens associations this
afternoon to go over plans for an
appropriate ceremony for the
bridge opening. The bridge will
not be named in time for the cere-
mony, he pointed out.
Among the letters received by
the Commissioners suggesting 6
names for the bridge was one from
a woman who lust returned from
a visit to the Suwannee River in
Florida.
She suggested that the bridge
be named for Stephen Foster, the
composer Of "Suwannee River"
and other well-known melodies.
I'm view of the fact that there is a
John Philip Sousa Bridge and a
Francis Scott Key Bridge, both
named after famous composers, I
think that Stephen Foster is very
appropriate" she said.
This citizen told the Commits
sioners she had a bottle of Suwan-
nee River water in case they
wanted to christen the bridge
with it.
Other suggestions included nam
ing the bridge after the late James
v. Forrestal. the first Secretary
of Defense. and Gen. Sam Smith,
who held the city of Baltimore
against the British ip the War Of
1912.

THOUSANDS OF MINERS
REFUSE TO CO TO WORK
! PITTSBURGH. Jan. 20.-(R. )

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20.-(P).-
Thousands of the nations soft
coal miners are angrily refusing
to go back to work Monday on a
three-day work week. They say
they want five aays-or nothing.
. Big groups Of miners in West
Virginia are leasling the fight I'd
stay put Of the pits altogether &
They are among the 10000 Dig
gers in seven states who ignored
John L. Lewis suggestion that
they return to the pits last Nom
day.
Tension appears to be increas-
ing hourly in the coal fields.
Miners have been openly rebel
lious at meetings in w. Virginia
and Pennsylvania. They have
shouted dcwn United Mine Work
ers leaders who urged them to
obey Lewis suggestion.
Meanwhile, a coal-hungry ma
ton is watching the titantic strug-
gle between Lewis and the opera
tors over the UMW's contract de-
mandS.
Lewis wants 95 cents per day
more for his men who now make
a basic wage of IA dollars and five
cents daily. In addition, Lewis
wants the operators royalty pay
ments into the unions health and
welfare fund increased from 20
cents to 35 cents per ton.
The operators, with few excep-
tons, are refusing to bow to
Lewis demands.
Some of the nations biggest
cities have resorted to coal ration
ing, notably Pittsburgh, Detroit
and Chicago. Cleveland, Ohio, has
declared a coal emergency and
the city's stockpiles have been
opened to the public.
Many industries have announc-
ed plans either to curtail opera
uonS or shut down altogether be-
cause OF a lack of coal. The ma
TONS railroads have felt the
pinch for some time, cancelling
