British May Need Lawyer to Recover Stone

is a director of the Explorers Club
in New York.
Now, the British boast that q
of their kings have been crowned
on the ancient slab of sandstone
48 Scottish Kings Crowned.
The chief quietly points out
that 48 of his Gaelic ancestors, be-
ginning with the first Fergus, in
436, were crowned on the stone
as rulers of Scotland long before
the British ever heard of it.
But about the theft-the CHIEF

They could have only one purpose

''To do that" the chief con-

will take the stone to Scotland
and will reveal it. Then it will
be up to the British to come and
get it.
when they do, I think it likely
that the Scots will make a court
fight of 1t. Because after all, you
know. there was the treaty OF
Northampton"
Treaty Promise Not Kept.
That treaty was signed in 1928
and contained a promise by Ed
ward II of England that the old
stone would be restored to Robert
the Bruce of Scotland. It was
never returned.
Now. Edward II was preceded
by Edward I. otherwise known al
the Hammer of Scotland. 1t was
he who invaded Scotland and
made off with the stone in 1892,
transferring the slab to Westminis-
ter Abbey. His idea was to defeat
an old Gaelic prophecy concerning
the Lila Fail. or stone of destiny
as the old Gaels knew it. This
was the prophecy:
"Cineadh Scuit saor an fine
Mum budh breag an fhaisdne
Mar a fuighid an liza fail

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-The
British government may need a
good lawyer more than good
detective to recover the Stone OF
Scone which was swiped from
Westminster Abbey Christmas Day
In a court fight, His Majesty's
barrister may have to explain q
little paper signed. sealed and de-
livered just 600 years ago.
This engaging theory is ad-
vanced by a killed Scottish High
lander whose family owned the
historic coronation slab long be-
fore the British did.
His name is Seumas, chief OF
lClannfhearghuis of Stra-chur
which means he is tribal leader OF
most of the Fergusons throughout
the world. Which also means he
is the representative of the Fer
gusons' common ancestor, Fergus
the Great, who lived about 1,500
years ago.
The chief is an explorer, ar
cheologist and map-maker, who

dreds of British policemen-the
polite Bobbies-were crusty to-
night because the thieves who
snatched the coronation stone
from Westminster Abbey Christ
mas Day have given them a lot OF
ridiculous work.
Scotland Yard was still not sure
whether a petition, purportedly
written by one of the impertinent
thieves and sent to a Glasgow
newspaper, is genuine. The petit
tion stated that the malefactors,
loyal subjects of the King. -
would return the stone If the
King agrees to have 1t kept for
ever in Scotland, where it once
was used in the coronation of
Scottish kings.
Dragging operations in Serpen-
tine Lake in Hyde Park yielded
some blocks of concrete and sew
eral common stones.
Another clue took the officers
ashore, near a bend in the river
Brent, in suburban Hendon. They
were working on a very slender
clue, just some automobile tracks.
The region normally is deserted
now. There was just a chance
that someone had driven there to
dump the missing stone.

technical, the Scots don't have
first claim on the Stone of Scone.
The government of Israel does.
For, according to legend, the stone
first cropped up in Bethel, Pales-
tine, where Jacob had his famous
dream of the angels. That night,
according to legend, he used the
stone for pillow.
Later. through the course of a
strenuous history. the stone was
taken to Egypt. then to the Span
ish Peninsula, Ireland and finally
up to Scone Abbey in Scotland.
BY the way, the chief agrees
with the aims of moderate Scot
tiSh nationalists. He, too, feels
Scotland should have dominion
status but retain its allegience to
King George vi.

Mine Union Invasion
Illegal, NLRB Says;
No Penalty Attached
BY The Associated Press

Mass inYaSions OF non-union
coal mines by John L. Lewis coal
diggers to enforce his three-day
week last year were ruled illegal
yesterday by the National Labor

The board decided that United
Mine Workers in Kentucky and

unfair labor practice under the
Taft Hartley Act when they in

workers out. Districts % and 81
Of the union must post notices
that they won't do it again and

were rounded up and threatening
speeches were made to them, fore
ing them to leave their jobs.
This constituted "a course ot
conduct creating an atmosphere
Of terror and fear and exceeding
the bounds Of peaceable action
which was calculated to, and did
in violation of Section 8 (B) Cd
(A), restrain and coerce the non
union mine employees in the exer-

by Section 7 of the act, among
which is the right to refrain from
joining a union"
Occurred in June, 1949.
The incidents occurred June 2s

kins Counties, KY, at mines neal
Madisonville.
In the West Virginia case, the
board found that District 81 hao
engaged in mass invasion of the
Good Hope mine of the Bitnel
Fuel Co. at Jane Lew, w. Va. The
board found that on July 81, 1949
nearly 500 union members in 10(
cars parked at the tipple yard anc
forced the superintendent tt
agree to work the mine only three
days a week. The mine normally
employs about IL or IA men.
Board Member James j. Reyn-
olds, jr., said he favored directing
the union to reimburse the EN-.
ployes for any loss of earnings
as a result of the unions acts
But the majority opinion omitted
