Courthouse Clock Reaches Time With New Motor
The courthouse clock, once weight driven and unreliable, has been replaced with a motor driven unit. Engineers H R Lamm and G A Lindblad supervised a six hour installation that reduces weight from about two and a half tons to 800 pounds. The new mechanism needs little upkeep and will keep time even if power fails. The clock, installed in 1905 by Howard Clock and Sales, was shipped to New York for modifications and is now part of a nationwide upgrade by the firm.

Lewis Claims Operator Offer Mumbo Jumbo
President John L Lewis of the United Mine Workers announced a strike would start in the southern coal fields at midnight Sunday after the union and operators failed to reach a new wage contract. He said operator proposals were a mumbo jumbo and demanded improved health and safety terms before any wage talks. He stressed the strike would be lawful and that workers would stay home without a contract, while extensions granted during the war would not become retroactive.
