ERS TO SEND MEN BACK TO PITS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 5—A re- pert persisted here today that John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of Ameri- , i negotiating with mine owners to end the soft coal strike before his appeal is con- sidered by a higher federal court tt was said that owners of mines in northern states are reatly to reduce the work-week for miners from 48 to 40 hours at the same rate of pay. The only obstacle to an agreement is a dif- ference as to the length of time the contract will run, the owners insisting on a shorter period than Lewis. Hopes were expressed that that difference will be set- tled satisfactorily Meanwhile, the first violence im the strike broke out today when pickets tried to stop men from working in a pit at Pitts- burgh.

City Manager O. J. S. Elling- son was reverting to ordinances as far back as 1913 as he pre- pared to carry out the authori- zation passed by the City Com- missioners Tuesday night to close all establishments operat- ing illegally on Sunday. Ordinance No. 60, passed in October, 1913 restricts motion picture shows to operation only after 6 p. m. “to show pictures of a moral or educational nature that shall have been passed by a National Board of Censorship”. The same ordinance requires the movie house to pay “twenty percent of the -net proceeds of such Sunday's performance to a established Must Pay Or Close Up “Failure to pay said portion to a charitable institution during the following week shall be sufficient cause to prevent any motion pic- ture house from operating under this ordinance.” Local movies have been norm- ally commencing on Sunday at 3 p.m., a city official said this aft- ernoon. They do not pay any portion of Sunday proceeds to a | charitable institution, he said , A loophole in Ordinance No. 6, ‘apparently passed-in 1913 also, {may exempt many stores. from According to statistics of the The Welfare Committee will May be made directly to the U.S. collect toys among’ the Jayshees to. be turned in to the Welfare Council of Key The Beoutification Committee |Ca% be made directly to the high is to secure dirt, plants < - ,cpurt. tilizer to be used in beautifying| U-S.
