SOFT COAL STRIKE THREATCANEELED Miners and Operators Agree to Continue Present Wage Until June 16. (Continued From Pirst Page.) this program will be splendidly jus- tifled.” Lewis’ conteation that the opera- tors’ failure to meet the miners’ de- mand for a 50-cent increase in their basic daily wage and a cut in the work week from 35 to 30 hours resulted from the failure of the price structure started a round of speculation on the relationship between today's move and the Guffey coal control bill. Would Create “Little N. R. A.” That bill, drafted by the United Mine Workers, would creat a “little N. R. A" for the coal industry alone and give it something of a public utility status. Lewis maintains it would make enforcement of price fixing easier, Some observers suggested that Lewis might have dickered with Rich- rg for support of the bill. Lewis declined to comment. After a brief recess the miners and operators will continue their efforts to negotiate new eontracts. The Labor Board's decision in tbe rubber case followed the Firestone and Goodrich companies’' challenge of its right to order employe elections in the Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincinnati. ‘Those companies also challenged the constitutionality of the recovery act's collective bargaining guarantee, which the Labor Board is charged to enforce. At the time it ordered the vote the board denied the A. F. of L. contention that the employes’ representation plans should be barred from the ballots. If the employes approved the plans in the elections, the board said, they should be allowed to continue, even though the company had initiated and supported them. In view of the Firestone company's refusal to give it's employes free choice by taking the election orders to court, ‘however, the board held it was com- pelled to direct the company to quit dealing with the representation plan and to find the company guilty of 7-A violation. GOV. EARLE ORDERS PROBE. WILKES-BARRE, Pa, March 30 (®). — Gov. Earle’s administration stepped into the anthracite mine con- troversy today with the announced determination of going to the root of the union strife and the violence ascribed to it. Simultaneously the Luzerne County Bar Association took official cogni- zance of the expressed defiance of the courts and called a meeting for next Wednesday. Designated the personal represen- tative of Gov. Earle, Attorney General Charles J. Margiotti made a midnight trip from the capital and soon after- ward plunged into a round of confer- ences that were still in progress to- night. Maj. Lynn G. Adams, superintend- ent of the State police, and several deputy attorney generals accompanied Margiotti and aided in beginning the “complete investigation” ordered by the Governor, — ART HEAD DIES LENOX, Mass., March 30 (#).—Cort- landt Pleld Bishop, 64, president of the American Art Association and the Anderson galleries of New York City, and prominent lawyer, sportsman and traveler, died tonight at his Lenox es- tate, Ananda Hall, of & heart ailment.

Foreign Lottery Drive Continued By Federal Unit Postal Officials Aim Blow at St. Leger Handi- cap Ticket Sale. By the Associated Press. Attention of the Government's lot- tery smashers was directed last night toward thwarting of sales of tickets on the St. Leger Handicap, to be run near Liverpool this Summer. Post Office Department officers pri- vately expressed the view that the campaign waged against the sale of subscriptions to lotteries based on the Grand National, run Friday at Ain- tree, had been successful, and ex- pressed hope that the drive against enterprises operated on the St. Leger also would be effective. Working with customs officers of the Treasury, the Postal Inspection Service late in 1934 began & campaign to whittle down the foreign lottery business in this country, stating that nearly $5,000,000 was spent for sweep- stakes tickets last year and that about $3.,000,000 was placed with agents for fake lotteries. Commanders of the Federal forces yesterday forecast that the sum to be spent for lottery tickets this year would be but half that expended in 1934, Denial of the use of the mails to persons suspected of participation in the racket by the Post Office Depart- ment and the seizure of lottery tickets by customs men are the weapons used by the Government.

In 1915 Third Baseman Kelly of the Toledo American Association team was dreaming every night of stardom awaiting him in the major leagues. Suddenly the dream became a, night- mare when he threw his arm out on a low, running toss to first base. Chances of becoming a second Jimmy Collins were blighted; base ball ‘was out; the future was glum for Mr. Kelly.

For at the tender age of 23, at the same time he was starring for Toledo, he was president of the Thirty-second Ward Democratic Club of Chicago. ‘The athlete-orator skipped from base ball diamond to accountant’s desk when his throwing arm curled up and played dead. He played with the figures of the Illinois Steel Co. for a while and managed the com- pany’s base ball team, before the call to war sounded and Kelly, of the fighting Kellys of County Antrim, joined the A. E. F. and went to France. He likes to recall his years of ball playing today, when his exercise is limited to occasional games of the royal and ancient game of golf, where his card averages 90, and to some fishing. ‘Was .300 Swatter.

From Toledo to Cleveland and major league stardom seemed & simple step, for the same man owned both teams. But fate stepped in and Kelly stepped out. Among the games Kelly recalls is one in which he had 14 assists at second base, three of which figured in double plays, and made four hits, starting with triple and finishing with a home run.
