COAL STRIKE FOURTH
CONFLICT FOR LEADER
PRESIDENT LEWIS HAS LED
WORKERS IN THREE BIG
FIGHTS
Indianapolis, nd., March 27--As the
leader in the impending nation-wide
coal strike,John L Lewis, president
of 'the United Mine Workers of Amer-
ica, will enter his fourth big indus-
trial conflict. Unless present indica-
tions go awry, he ,will lead labor's
largest strike army in the history of
the United States for the strike set for
April 1 threatens to call out more
than 500,000 workers scattered
throughout the United States.
Takes Large Part
Conflicts between employers and.
workers, in which Mr. Lewis has stood
out prominent, are these:
The 1919 soft coal strike of 395,000
miners, which was broken by the gov-
ernment, after which the miners got
a 24-cent a ton increase in the wages,.
their largest sin'gle pay advance.
The first attempt, made in 1913-14,
to unionize the steel industry, Mr.
Lewis having charge of the field work-
ers of the American Federation of
Labor, the movement failed, accord-
ing to union men because of wide-
spread unemployment.
The great copper strike in Upper
Michigan during 1913, in which Mr.
Lewis, as general field agent of the
American Federation of Labor, assist-
ed in the general conduct of the
strike.
sElected in 1920
Strike troubles, however, have been
only l small part of Mr. Lewis' work
within the organized labor movement.
In 1910 at the age of thirty he was
elected as representative of the Illi-
nois union miners, and in October
1911, he became general field agent of
the American Federation of Labor, re-
signed in February, 1917, to become
.statistician of the United Mine Work-
ers of America. On Oct. 25, 1917, he'
was elected vice-president of the Unit-
ed Mine Workers, and on Feb. 6, 1920,
became president, having for a short
time previously been the union's act-
ing president.

Petrified Wonder
From MAodern Age
Visits Prof. Case
There's a petrified man on campus
and Prof. E. C. Case of the geology
department is entertaining the gen-
tleman.
The ossified wonder which arrived
last week. from Detroit is valued by
its owner as a family heirloom, pos-
sibly an ancestor of the paleolithic
age. It arrived in almost perfect con-
dition.
Hands in Natural Position
The head shows traces of ossified
hair, faint remnants of a possible
eyelash. Even the Adam's apple
showed a faint outline. The hanuds
are in a natural position, and the
skin marks leave even the creases in
the palms of the hand, where pos-
sibly an ancient fortune teller prophe-
sied a long and hard existence for the
-victim.
But the feeti probably solve the mys-
tery of the ossification best, and eli-
minate the heirloom effect of the
heavy skeleton in the family closet.
On the inside edge of one foot an
ossified ankle bone has been chipped
away, and lying ensconced in the ar-
terial region is an iron rod.
Adorned Sideshow
It is the enthusiastic opinion of the
geology department that the ossified
wonder was born, not to decorate the
earth in a far-gone past but to adorn
a side-show tent in a small-town cir-
cus. The head, feet and hands were
evidently molded from a clay model,'
and then fastened to the rest of the
body which was hewn ,out roughly.
According to geological reports an
ossification of this kind is practically
impossible, corpses old enough to
ossify being in an unrecognizable
condition.

Calls Co-op Plan
Not Practicable
"Under conditions as they exist here
today I would not regard as practic-
able such co-operative living groups
as I have heard suggested," said H.
Seger Slifer in regard to the proposed
co-operating rooming plan. Mr.
Slifer 'acts as business manager for a
large number of local fraternities and
is in this way brought into close con-
tact with problems of group living.
"Iu order to be practicable," he
continued, "the living groups would
have to acquire administrative respon-
sibilities. The behavior of the mem-
bers, the discipline pf the group, its
finances, and other connected ques-
tions would have to be governed. If
such groups were to be organized they
would be far better if table service
were also to be added.
"Taking in_ view these conditions
eIh simplest solution would be for the
'University to foster the organization
of more local groups of fraternities
as these would include board as well
as room, would possess a certain fi-
nancial and disciplinary responsibility
and would more likely be permanent
on the campus."
State Normal Banquet Thursday
Members of the Western State Nor-

quet in honor of visiting State Normal
faculty members at 6 o'clock Thurs-
day evening, at Lane hall. All for-
mer Western State Normal students
are urged to attend.
