+ The defense has indicated it will argue COAL STRIKE ENDS; PAY PAGT SIGNED 50 Cents Per Day Increase% Is Given Tennessee- | Kentucky Miners. ! By the Associated Press. KNOXVILLE, Tenn, November 1. —A six weeks’ old strike of 9,000 cod miners in Eastern Tennessee and ‘- Southeastern Kentucky ended last night with the signing of a wage agreement between the Southe_m . Appalachian Coal Operators’ Associa- tion and William Turnblazer, presi-| dent of District 19, United Mine Work- | . ers of America. ‘ The announcement was made by L. C. Gunter, executive vice president of the operators’ association, who said | the operators signed the general Ap- | palachian agreement calling for a 50‘ cents a day increase in wages for| day labor, 9 cents a ton for loading, and 10 per cent increase.on yardage and dead work. { Gunter said a “satisfytory agree- | ment was reached” as to the time limit of the contract. Turnblazer had insisted on an 18 months’ contract, expiring April 1,! 1937. The operators had refused to | sign an 18 months’ contract, and this had caused the controversy which led to the strike. | District 19 includes Northeastern ‘Tennessee and Knox, Bell, Whitley and McCreary Counties in Kentucky. Based on the average monthly pro- duction of 600,000 tons in the dis- trict, Gunter said the strike cost miners approximately $800,000 in wages, and coal operators about $1,- 250,000 in business.

Forum Listeners | It All Hinges on Method of Living. To change your personality—change % your clothes, modulate your voice, | slter your handclasp, comb your hair | differently. | This part-formula for acquiring a | new personality was given to the Young Men's Forum of the Central | Y. M. C. A. last night by Elwood | Btreet, director of public welfare of the District. $ Speaking in the first of a series of lectures on the general problem of | developing personality, Street defined personality as “the sum total of the individual and all his environments— all that we are and all we do.” Street said that since personality depends largely on the impression one makes on others, any change in manner of dress, conversation, con- duct or method of living affects per- sonality. 13-YEAR-OLD NOTATION ENTERS SWEITZER TRIAL Head Bookkeeper of Cook County, 111, Clerk’s Office Identifies Entry in Ledger. .
