Alverda Man Has Heart
Attack, Dies Inside Mine
Stricken with a heart attack in
the Dutch Run Mine of the N. Y.
Central Coal Mining Division, Al-
verda, Robert H. Graham, 55, of
Alverda, died almost immediately.
Mr. Graham had been aiding C.
G. Watson, division engineer of the
coal mining department of the N.
Y. Central R. R. Co, in a survey-
ing job when he was stricken. He
was removed to the surface but
was pronounced dead upon arrival.
A resident of Alverda for the
past 17 years, the deceased was
born in Scotland on July 21, 1890,
a son of Robert and Jane Graham.
Besides his parents, who reside
in Punxsutawney, he leaves his
widow, the former Gaynell Houck,
and three children: Mrs. Catherine
Shaffer, Indiana; Arlene, at home,
and Dick, serving with the Navy
in the Pacific Theatre.

she accidentally turned on a hot

morning.

ducted an investigation and said
the woman, who was suffering

IN SOFT COAL TIE-UP
Union leaders and soft coal pro-
ducers ‘should be able to agree,”
Secrtary of Labor Schwellenbach
has announced, on a new compro-
niise offer to be made by him to
halt strikes involving nearly half
of the Nation's bituminous coal
mines, and affecting practically
every mine in Cambria County.
Schwellenbach disclosed Tuesday
night, after a four-hour conference
between the two sides ended with-
out any agreement, that he would
offer the compromise.
Union Chief John L. Lewis had
made public his terms for getting
the miners back to work, but the
operators wanted to add a para~-
graph to he Lewis plan, to which
it was not agreed.
Schwellenbach reported, how-
ever, that “I don’t think they are
very far apart.”
Scattered new strikes and the
spread of the soft coal dispute has
boosted to 457,000 the number of
men away from work in strikes
and stoppages. In Cambria County
practically every mine has ceased
cperations.
RESTRICTIONS EASED ON
ENLISTING IN MARINES

ARMY GOING ‘ALL OUT’
IN COUNTY RECRUTING
A nationally announced change
in the U. S. Army recruiting pro-
gram is going to show direct re-
sults soon in Cambria County.
Ten recruiting soldiers, led by
Lt. R. S. Watson, have already ar-
rived to man the Johnstown re-
cruiting station, and are awaiting
final detailed instructions and the
orders to proceed. The compliment
is expected to be increased to 13
men in the near future.
Aided by the use of automobiles
the personnel of the recruiting sta-
tion will be able to cover all the
principal communities in the sec-
tion on frequent schedules to find
and influence prospective soldiers
to volunteer for their own benefit,
instead of waiting for the men to

DEMOCRATS REQUEST
MARTIN TO DECIDE |
LEGAL END OF WAR|
The effectiveness of many state
laws and ordinances by cities and |
boroughs for the “duration” has |
promped the Democratic State
Committee to request Gov. Martin |
and Attorney General James Duff |
to act immediately on the question |
of when hostilities ceased.
Some of the laws run for six
months after the Governor pro- |
claims the end of the war while |
others run for ‘six months after |
the cessation of hostilities in all |
wars in which the United States is |
engaged, according to the Demo- |
cratic organization.
The latter, the commitiee stated, |
is the wording of the law requiring
post-war appointments, reclassifi-
cation and promotions in state jobs
under civil service to be made from
eligible lists.
“Not only,” the statement said,
“should the administration, in fair-
ness to its various departments,
rule as to when hostilities ceased,
kbut it should do so in order that
the various boroughs, cities and |
counties should know definitely
when their emergency rules, regu-
lations and ordinances lapse.”
STATE POLICE TRAINING
COURSES BEGUN AGAIN
Pennsylvania State Police are
now conducting their first training
course since the war despite an un-
Frecedentod small enrollment of 15
en, according to Police Commis-
sioner Co. C. M. Wilhelm.
The police officer said, however,
that another group was expected
to begin training Nov. 1, and at
that time the two classes would be
combined.
The organization said earlier the
October course might be postponed
because not enough applicants met
rhysical and educational require-
come to them for additional infor-
mation.
ments. In pre-war years minimum
enrollment was 50 men.
In addition to nis widow, he
leaves these chidren: Mrs. Edith
Andrews, Chatnooga, Tenn.; Mrs.
Margaret Rubino, Pittsburgh; Mrs.

mentioned above; Mrs. Mildred Mc-
Cabe, Johnstown; Mrs. Catherine

Mr. Burns was a brother of Mrs.
Mary Delaney, Bakerton; Joseph,

Ohio.
Funeral services were conducted
in St. John Gaulbert’s Church in
Johnstown this morning at 9 a. m.
MINE INSPECTOR EXAMS
Examination of applicants for
the position of bituminous mine in-
spector will be conducted in the
gold room of the Fort Pitt Hotel,
Pittsburgh, Oct. 30, 31 and Nov. 1
and 2. Sessions will begin at 9 a.
m. daily. Those who plan to par-
ticipate in the examination should
notify Richard Maize, chairman of
the bituminous inspectors examin-
ing board, Dept. of Mines, Harris-
burg. On receipt of such notice an
application blank will be furnished.
CAR SALE REGISTRATION
WITH OPA STILL A ‘MUST’
Used car transfers must still be
listed with the Office of Price Ad-
ministration to insure compliance
with ceiling prices.
This announcement has been
made by the district OPA office
due to the failure of many indi-
viduals to notify that agency of
transfers of automobiles since the
end of gasoline rationing.
Formerly, when a car was sold
ration books had to be turned in at
the OPA office.
STATE POLICE SAY
Failure to yield one-half of the
highway runs high in the causes
of highway traffic accidents.
Motor vehicle accident records
reveal that many drivers forget
that they are entitled to only a
half of the highway. A good rule
to follow is: drive to the right at
all times, especially when follow-
ing slow-moving vehicles up a
grade.
