Mystic factory owner fights withholding tax charge

Her bank account has been clipped for 7818.50 dollars, with relations to Hartford collector John Fitzpatrick described as cordial but charged with dispute over the funds.

Early Peace in Mines Unlikely in Push for Back Pay
White Sulphur Springs W Va Sept 22 Chance for an early settlement of the coal strike was dim today as Southern operators signaled readiness to fund back payments to the United Mine Workers welfare fund. About 480,000 UMW members walked out last Monday after welfare trustees halted benefits amid a looming fund deficit. Northern and western mine owners in talks with John L. Lewis delayed further action, delaying talks amid steel dispute tensions. A West Virginia operator charged Lewis with avoiding responsibility for the strike, saying miners were financially unprepared to walk out.
