LEWIS BATTLES | TOHOLDREINS IN | PENNSYLVANIA

Southwest Area Trouble Spot if New York Coal Parley Fails.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer UNIONTOWN, Pa, April 20— Dropping down from the comparatively placid Pittsburgh district into Pennsylvania's southwestern corner, you begin to see why John L. Lewis is so determined in the New York negotiations to get a closed-shop contract tor the United Mine Workers in the bituminous industry. In Fayette County, which has produced many labor disturbances, and to some extent also in adjoining Washington and Greene Counties, the big Lewis union is faced with bitter and stiff competition. The practically unanimous mem-

ers can claim in the Pittsburgh district and central Pennsylvania is not duplicated here. Even the mine workers’ officials do not claim more than a three-fourths membership among the 20,000 miners in Fayette and Greene Counties.

Potential Trouble Spot

This district is a potential trouble spot if and when the New York parleys produce & final disagreement and a shutdown extending long bevond the present “holiday,” now in its third week. The trouble may come also if the Lewis forces obtain the monopoly they seek In furnishing labor for the vast bituminous business. There are rumors, with some base, that some of the numerous “captive” mines in this territory have plans, with no date yet set, to reopen by the use of labor other than that of the U. M. W. Already threatening letters have been received by owners of small “wagon mines” that attempted to load coal into railroad cars. Already coal so loaded has

this year instead of only once. “We don't even have enough oil to cover all the unimproved streets once, let alone going over them twice,” Louis C. Brandt, Works Board president, said. A repetition of last year's “dust storms” which brought scores of complaints to the City Streets Department was seen by Albert Losche, City Purchasing Agent. He said that the 240,000 gallons of oil purchased recently to lay the dust on 243 lineal miles of unimproved streets would not be enough. Wilbur Winship, City streets commissioner, said he did not believe that all of the unimproved mileage could be oiled, but would not estimate how far the oil the City has purchased would reach until his department begins ciling May 15. Mr. Losche predicted that after the oil is iaid down next month it will disappear by the middle of August, leaving the streets in an untreated condition for the balance of the summer. “There is nothing we can do about it,” he said. “Despite the fact that the mileage of unimproved thor-

cughfares has increased, the appropriation for oil this year is the same as it was 10 years ago—

This disclosure was made after City Council members yesterday asked the Works Board to see that the unimproved roads are oiled twice

WORKS BOARD READY TO SELL GITY LAND

The Works Board today agreed to sell two pieces of City-owned property at the southwest corner of 16th and West Sts. The decision to sell the ground, subject to approval by City Council, was made yesterday after.the Board had received an offer of $1400 for the property. Leo Welch, Board vice president, asserted that the land has increased in value in the past few years because of the improvement of 16th St. He said it would be suitable for a gasoline filling station and the Board will consider selling it for that purpose. Acquired at the time the City widened and paved 16th St, the land has a 415-foot frontage on 16th St. and extends south 53 feet on West St. It has never been used, Board

PA WORKER'S LETTER USED BY 6.0.P. IN PLEA

Complaints of Marion Man Sent to Party Leader On Committee.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, April 20—A letter containing the complaints of a Marion, Ind, WPA worker was offered in evidence today to support the appeal of Indiana. Republican Congressmen for a WPA investigation in the State. The worker, Douglass Foreman, alleged he was laid off because he objected to riding with, hogs and being forced to buy meals from a superior who obtained soup bones from a slaughter “house.

Report Many Complaints

The seven Hoosier Congressmen said dozens of other complaints have been received and are being assembled in support of their investigation request. The Marion letter was forwarded by Rep. Forest Harness (R. Ind) to Rep. John Taber (R. N. Y.), ranking minority member of the Appropriations Committee. The Committee is charged with investigating WPA and Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) is a member. The Indiana Republicans addressed a letter to Rep. Edward T. Taylor (D. Colo), Committee chairman, asking that the Indiana inquiry be made.

Partial Text of Letter

The partial text of the letter from Marion follows: “I am writing to you for help which I am sure you will give me. I was given a 403 (a type of layoff notice) off the WPA for no reason whatever. (the foreman) made his brags he was going to lay off the ones he did not like. I guess I was one of them and if anyone needs a job it is I for I have a family and my wife has just come home from the hospital. She has been sick two years. «“___ (the superior) runs two trucks and he is a boss and if any | of his men do not ride with the | hogs they are off, and another | thing he stops on his way to work at the slaughter house and buys soup bones and makes soup out on the job and each and every man | has to buy their dinner from him | or they have got no job. “He won't allow them to bring | their lunch from home. Now, Mr. | Harness, what I am wanting you to | do is to see if you can’t possibly | get (me) back to work. I am sure| there needs to be a shakeup in | Marion and a shakeup right. I] would like to talk to you personally. | The first time you are in Kokomo | let me know and I will be over to] see you.”

$15 Per Cold

That's Average Cost, Doctor Says, in Bills And Efficiency.

‘CANDID CAMERA

ANSAS CITY, Mo. April 20 (U. P.).—Dr. Harold S. Diehl, dean of medical science at the University of Minnesota, estimated today that a common cold costs the average person $15 to cure. Dean Diehl said the amount included lost efficiency, cost of medicine, doctor bills and time off from work. Mr. Diehl, here to address a health forum, said “medicine has made steady advance in virtually all lines of investigation, but the common cold stands out by itself, as unconquered now as it was back in 1780 when an old English pirate compounded an alcoholic grog to use when he became i
