ATHER HOPES

SECOND TWIN

ARRIVES SOON

Fidgets in Home at Jasper;

Prefers Not to Have Wife Set Record.

JASPER, Ind. Feb. 24 (U. P). —|

Robert Scherle, 32, a woodworker who takes pride in his. calmness, began; to get nervous today as he waited for his wife to give birth to the twin of a boy born - nine days ago. He said yesterday that pacing the

floor did no good and went to work

learned today,

as usual. But last night he fidgeted outside his wife’s room. “I’m not very nervous,” he said. “I only hope the other twin comes soon.” Mrs. Scherle, 30, gave birth to the

first twin—William Joseph—Feb. 15.] j

He weighed five pounds. Medical authorities said delayed births of the second twin up to 10 days is not uhusual. The record is 44 days. “I hope,” Mr. ‘Scherle. said, wife doesn’t set a new record. And we hope he — or she — will be as healthy as the first one. We want both of them to grow up as twins.”

First Baby Gaining

, The first twin was not expected to live, but it began taking nourishment after a few days and has been picking up weight steadily. Dr. L. A. Salb, attending the mother, said there was no indication how soon the other twin would be born. “It might be two days and then again it might be two weeks,” he said. Already the delayed birth has exceeded a similar recent case at Kansas City. Two weeks ago twins were born there five days apart. The babies are in good health.

EXTENDS STATE MINE CONTRACT

Lewis Also Acts Acts in Other Bituminous Areas as Negotiations Near.

(Copyright, 1939, by United Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—United Mine Workers Union officials, it was are seeking to strengthen their hand in contract negotiations with Eastern operators by extending indefinitely present bituminous contracts outside the Appalachian soft coal fields. Negotiations for a new contract for bituminous coal miners in the Appalachian field open in New York March 14. The present basic agreement provides a seven-hour day and 35-hour week, with a minimum wage of $6 per day in the North and $5.60 in the South. Authoritative sources revealed that U. M. W. A. President John L. Lewis secretly has authorized district uni~n leaders in areas mining 28 per cent of the total bituminous production to extend present agreements. More than 400,000 persons are employed in bituminous mines.

Two Objectives Told

The extension instructions it was learned, went out early this month to district) leaders in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Alabama, Western Kentucky, Southern Tennessee, Colorado, (Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota, Montana, Washington, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas and Missouri. Coal officials saw two major objectives in- Mr. Lewis’ attempt to make peace in the outlying districts before the March 31 expiration date of the Appalachian agreement, j These objectives, it was indicated authoritatively, are: 1. To insure against a major coal shortage in the event of a strike. If outlying districts’ extend present contracts and are not faced with a strike in April, Illinois and Indiana mines—longtime ~ competitors with

' the Appalachian producers—could

increase production and go into the Eastern markets. 2. To open the way for a wage increase demand after the National Bituminous Coal Commission has re-established minimum price: and stablized the industry. °

AUTO PLANTS RESUME NORMAL OPERATIONS

P.).—The Plymouth, Dodge and Briggs automobile manufacturing plants resumed normal operations today after a 24hour shutdown which both factions of the United Automobile Workers dual union claimed they had halted.

BRAZIL, Feb. 24 (U.P).— Three’s a crowd in a double bed, especially when the third is a dog, Mrs. Mary Ann Schoonover declared today in a divorce petition. She charged her husband, George, made her make room for the dog to sleep between them.

GREEN PROTESTS 0 FCC ON WLW ORDER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (U, P.)— A. F. of L. President Williamh Green today protested to the Federal Communications Commission against the Commission’s decision which would force radio station WLW, Cincinnati, to cease using superpower of 500,000 watts March 1. Mr. Green telegraphed the FCC that he feared reduction of the station’s power to 50,000 watts would cause loss of jobs. The Commission said it also had received 31 letters protesting the decision.: Officials said they considered the number “surprisingly small” since the station's broadcasts reach 19 states. The telegram from Mr. Green was the only wire received, they said.

Remember, colds DO spread.

As they await the arrival of a second twin, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scherle of Jasper beam proudly on the first one, William Joseph, born nine days ago.
