Lewis Threatens Over Industry Protection Debate
Lewis threatens drastic action to destroy the industry and do more harm than good as the committee moves toward executive session to decide reporting the measure to the senate. House action is expected the same day with leaders predicting rapid passage. Charles P. C. ONeill argues the bill is a necessary stopgap to ease overproduction in the coal industry. An Edwight Negro school committee seeks an extra teacher, while the board agrees to study both requests. No action on buying land for a Sylvia school addition.
