It was reported that some mines
opened today and others will be

Northern mines were reported
on a 50 per cent output basis with

he said, offers an opportunity “to

The chief executive spoke from
full operation expected in a day
or two. They were opened ahead
of the southern mines because the
northern operators and the CIO j
union had agreed earlier on a two
year contract calling for basic
wage increases from $6 to $7 a
day.
Although the southern agree-
ment provides only a temporary
basis for opening the mines which
have been idle a month, John L.
Lewis, the union president, said it
augers well for the completion of
a new contract.

New Speeds On
Highways Seen
In Proposed Law
Motorists in Texas may now be
arrested for driving their cars too
slow—something new in the an-
nals of traffic regulation. But the
idea is to protect the people who
want to travel at the regulation
speed from being handicapped by
the sluggish driving of the party
who takes up the street or high
way and prevents ordinary travel
and efficiency in handling traffic.
The new speed law sets the top
limit at 60 miles by day and 55
miles by night on the highways.
The law covering the ereeptng
car reads “It shall be unlawful for
any person to so operate or drive
any motor vehicle upon the public
highways or streets of this state
as to wilfully obstruct or impede
the normal, reasonable and safe
movement of traffic.”
Police officers are instructed to
enforce the provision b: dircrUon
to drivers, and a wilfull disobed-
ience to the provision shall be a
violation of the law punishable by
a fine. T

750-Piece Dinner Set Given To
Sam Rayburn By Texas Delegation
WASHINGTON, May 1—Speak-
er Sam Rayburn was presented
with a 750-piece dinner set of
specially designed China at a
luncheon in the Speaker’s dinting
room in the National Capitol. Pre-
sentation was made by Represen-
tative Firitz l.anham on behalf of
the entire Texas delegation and
caught the speaker by surprise.
The dinner set is decorated in
fine gold hand and the Speaker's
dais with the United States flag
in colors. The gift was presented
to Rayburn personally, for use in
Washington as long as he serves
as Speaker and then for his per-
sonal use in Texas or elsewhere.
Lanham told the speaker of the
high esteem and deep affection in
which he was held by every mem-
ber of the Texas delegation and
expressed the pleasure that they
felt in presenting the gift.
Several Texans in Washington
on business were guests of various
members of the delegaflon. These
included Robert Harris of Dallas
and New York, Walter Hammond,
president of the Texas farm bu-
reau federation, and Roy Miller,
executive vice-president of the
Trinity Improvement association.
The di.-hes had been ordered
several years ago by someone in
charge of the ornate speaker’s din
ing room. The hill approximated
$750 and congress refused to pay.
The Ohinaware remained stored
until the Texans bought it for
$150 by subscription.

man, asked his colleagues to up
