MEDIATORS TO
MEET TODAY ON
COAL STRIKE
Truman May Be Forced
To Use Taft-Hartley
Law To Get Coal.
Washington, Nov. 8.—The govern
ment today summoned United Mine
Workers President John L. Lewis and
coal industry officials to a joint con
ference here at 11 a.m. Thursday in
a last ditch effort to settle the 51-day
old soft coal strike.
If the conference fails, federal
mediation director Cyrus' S. Ching,
is expected to turn the dispute over
to President Truman by the week
end for possible action under the
anti-strike injunction provisions of
the Taft-Hartley labor law.
Ching sent identical telegrams
to Lewis and industry spokesmen
George H. Love, president of the
Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Co.,
Joseph E. Moody, president of the
Southern Coal Ptoducers Associa-
ation, and Harry M. Moses, presi
dent of the H. C. Frick Coke Co.,
largest “captive” coal subsidiary of
U. S. Steel Corporation.
Boland Again
Named Chairman Local
Christmas Seal Sale
R. W. Boland, local insurance man
and civic leader, has been appointed
to again serve as General Chairman
of the 1949 Christmas Seal Sale com- j
mittee in Clinton, according to a re-;
cent announcement by D. F. Patter-;
son, County Seal Sale chairman. The
purpose of the campaign, part of the
nationwide Christmas Seal Sale to be
conducted from November 14 to De
cember 25, is to raise funds for the
1950 program of the Laurens county
Tuberculosis Association.
In accepting his appointment, Mr.
Boland said: “We want to make the
1949 Seal Sale in Clinton the best!
ever conducted here. Success of the i
county’s Seal Sale will depend, in,
the final analysis, on its success in ;
each community. And on the success.
of the county Seal Sale will depend
