TELLS POLICE HE SAW SCOTT SHor Volunteer Witness Ready to Testiy in Conrt, He Assures’ Norman, Yopp, colored, of 25 Hurlburt street, who witnessed the shooting of John Scott, aged 38, of 99 Hartford avenue, Sunday after- noon at the home of Willlam John- son, 27 Hurlburt street, called at po- lice headquarters late yesterday aft- ernoon on learning that the police wanted to interview him, and in a statement given voluntarily, he 1§ said to have charged that Richard Shelton, who is held without bail on the charge of assault with attempt to murder, pointed a revolver at Scott and pulled the trigger after telling those in the room that he would shoot Scott. This statement, the police say, s even stronger than that of Mitchell Price of 134 Winter street, who is held as a material wit. ness. Yopp expressed his willingness to testify in Shelton’s case, and he was not held or placed under bonds. Shelton and Price are at Hartford county the latter being unable to raise $5,000 bonds for his release. Shelton is said to be remorseful over the shootlng, as he and Scott were friendly, and he appears to be con- scious of the serious predicament into which he has fallen. He would not have shot Scott had he not been drinking, he told the police. Scott, whose life was despaired of Sunday and yesterday, remains in a critical condition at New! ' Britain General hospital. In the event of his death, Shelton will be charged with murder and bound over to the super- ior court, as the police court has no Jurisdiction on a charge of this na- ture. The bullet which entered 8cott's stomach, inflicted several intestinal perforations and is believed to have' taken a downward course. He was slightly more comfortable today, it W said at the hospital.

'MINERS STAND ON LEWIS' STATEMENT Rank and File of Men Behind Their President Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 22 (UP)— The rank and file of the United Mine Workers' Union stands squarely be- hind the action of John L. Lewis, in- ternational president, in spurning suggestions for a wage cut in the bituminous industry. This fact stood the bituminous operators for a new wage contract were broken off at Miami, Fla. the 1,500 delegates to the miners' convention here early this month in- structed Lewls and the miners’ rep- resentatives to the point wage con- ference to accept no reduction in the basic pay of $7.50 a day set by the Jacksonville agreement. Arguments during the discussion of the report of the wage scale com- mittee of the miners’ showed unmistakably that the rank and file of the union would face an- other bituminous strike rather than accept a wage reduction. ators during the convention that the demands of the operators for a wage cut to place union mines on a basis of competition with-non-union | mines would not be accepted. His declaration that the “pitifully inadequate wages of non-union miners of Kentucky, Tennessee and standard of pay for union men was greeted with a tremendous outburst of enthusiasm by the convention. Lewis takes the stand that the; ills of the bituminous coal industry cannot be solved by a wage reduc-| tion for miners and that any cut for (the union men would instantly be met by a similar cut in the non- union flelds. In the exent of a strike on April| 1, the international officers of the United Mine Warkers will face the struggle with greater financial re- sources at their disposal than ever before in the history of the union. | The Indianapolis convention |amended the union constitution to |enable the international officers to levy assessments on local unions fnr |an unlimited period without a refel r-| jendum vote of the unmns.
