Considerable unrest was apparent at times, during the addresses by the two men. At one time it was only after much difficulty on the part of police that sympathizers of other factions could b: quieted and the speakers con- tinue. Most of the heckling, however, was during the fiery address by Amer- inger, whose talk dealt chiefly with alleged irregularities of the interna- | tional coterie. Pishwick, speaking in a diplomatic vein, touched only briefly on the action of the international organization in re- voking the charter of District 12, yes- terday. “John L. Lewis has no right, under law, to take possession of the district records and offices,” he said, “and we mean to stop him and stop him for good, and we can do it. An injunction suit is already under way against the international organization and I know we will be the victors. I will never agree to hand over property or money to the international administration of the United Mine Workers unless the members of this union agree that this should be done.” Greeted by Boos. A series of boos greeted Fishwick at his stage, and, furning to objectors, he said, “Yes, and if John L. Lewis fig- ures he has got me he is saving some of you fellows a job.” ‘When quiet reigned once more he added vehemently, “But John L. Lewis has not got me.” In closing his® brief talk. Fishwick denied that corruption and fraud exist in Pranklin County and added, “If I can see anybody that can do a better Job than I am doing, I will turn the Teins over.” ‘Today’s ceremony was the annual The 437th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus was observed yesterday by the Knights of Columbus and Catholic Sons of Italy, who placed wreaths at the statne of the Genoese on Union Station Plaza. —Star Staff Photo.
