J] o 1, WOULD WITHDRAW DEMANDS 1, ^ t Miners Ask That Injunction Be Can- n celed. Proposal Rejected s t Washington, Nov. 5.?Organized s labor's proposal for ending the coal o strike through withdrawal of injunc- | tion proceedings against officers of J the United Mine Workers of America, was bluntly rejected today by the p Department of Justice. d The government's answer to the t ?nion suggestion advanced by Samuel 0 Gompers, president of the American n Federation of Labor, was given by j] Associate Attorney General Ames, r ^ . who declared the strike in itself was d a violation of law and that as long ? as it continued the only place to fight d it out was in court. a Labor leaders, visibly disturbed by tl this refusal, agreed with the opera- f tors on one important point?that the ]j statement of the government's posi- a tion swept away all hope of imme- a diate settlement of the strike involv ing more than 400,000 soft coal min- t ers in twenty-eight States. Q The restraining order issued by j Federal Judge Anderson at Indiana- n L polis last week was made returnable ^ A Saturday. Counsel for the miners will go into court that day and ask for dismissal of^the proceedings. One of r two things will happen: t BHH The court, according to officials j here, either will grant the plea of the miners or continue the temporary injunction unti' a later date for a final hearing and put into effect a manmm datory order to John L. Lewis acting ^ president of the miner's organization, c | to call off the strike. \ t I o Death of Dr. Scott Mrs. E. A.

OF STATE [)VERNOR WANTS CHANGE IN CONTROL OF PENAL INSTITUTION'S Radical legislation, involving the volition's of certain state departents will be recommended by Govnor Cooper to the next general asmbly, which convenes in January. Dvernor Cooper said today that he oposed recommending to the legisture the abolition of the boards of e various penal institutions and the eation in their stead of one central mtrol body, and also the repeal of 1 special school district legislation id the enactment in its place of one atute covering all such special disicts, which would put them under te control of the state board of edu ition.. The governor's plan is to recomend the abolition of the board of rectors of the stale penitentiary, te board of the state hospital, the >ards of the various reformatories, is idea is to have in place of them ;e board of control, which would iminister the affairs oc all the peninstitutions. With regard to the educational initutions, the governor's idea is that iggested by him to the legislature st year, for the appointment of one niral board of trustees to take the ace* of the boards of the various hooK This would mean the abolion of the boards of trustees of the niversity of South Carolina, of Winrop college, of Clemson college, of ie Citadel and possibly other educaonal institutions, such as the Mediil college of Charleston, and the :hool for the Deaf and Blind, at partanburg. The governor's plan this year goes irther than his suggestion of last >ar. It would also include the presit state board of education as part ' the central board of education, ie single board would have charge ' the higher educational institutions id also the public school system, oviding'one central state education mmission. The governor's purpose is to. cree a central body, for the eliminaon of possible friction and possible remapping of effort on the part of e present boards of trustees. This ould also be in line with the ideas ;ld by the governor when he rentlv called a meeting of the heads ' the state institutions for the pur>se of conferring as to methods of operation between the various hools. With regard to special school disicts, the governor's purpose is to ;k repeal of all special acts giving rtain school districts legal powers id control over schools not now un- i >r the jurisdiction of the state board education. He would have enacted le statue covering all such districts id putting them under the control the state board of education.
