There she found a young man who jgot Into conversation" with" her. addressing her as 'Grandma." She told him of selling the caps. Just after the car passed going to Wood River, Mrs. Hall is quoted, the young fellow went outside the passenger shelter, looked about, then returned, roughly grasping her by the throat and shoulders and throwing her down on the station bench.

The elderly woman fought back, according to her story, and screamed as loud as she was able, although her assailant's grasp on her throat may have somewhat stlffled her cries, Finally, according to story, her assailant remarked that If she would cease screaming, he would stop choking her. A moment later he took to flight.

Demanding a roll call on his motion for the enforcement of the gambling ordinance, Alderman Burger was met with Schnaufer's reply tliat, as the did not call for a direct expenditure of money, a roll call was unnecessary. Before the gambling ordinance enforcement demand was presented Mayor Schnaufer had made three suggestions for the council's action. Referring to a request of the Rotary Club, whose spokesman at last night's meeting was Roger L. Hoi- comb, former mayor, Schnaufer asked the council to consider seriously the purchase from Mrs. Anna Carstcns of five acres of land across Wood River avenue from the present city park and swimming pool to je used as a park and recreation ground.

As final foreclosure action Is due about June 20, and' the probability of a favorable price after that action forecast, Mayor Schnaufer stressed the necessity for quick action. He estimated the purchase price at between $12,000 and $15.000 and added a $3800 as the cost of building an underpass beneath Wood Rjlver avenue to connect the two parks.

CHICAGO, June appeal of the Progressive Miners of America for a state-wide referendum of Illinois miners on a choice of union representation was refused todby by Hugh s. Johnson, administrator of the NRA, In a ruling handed to the regional bituminous labor board here. General Johnson ruled a general referendum would be 4n violation of the recovery act, "Under section 7A," he said, "the employes of any employer have the right to organize themselves and to select their own representatives for the purpose of collective brrgalning. "If, for example, mine operator has a contract with either union and the majority of his em- ployes belonged to that union, they could not be deprived legally of their right to retain their contract or to remain members of their union simply because a majority of miners throughout the state vftted otherwise." The Progressives, rivals now of the United Mine Workers of America from which they sprang as a divergent faction, had asked the bituminous labor board headed by Dr. John A.

Lapp to order a statewide vote to show the preference of Illinois miners for either union. The board ruled against it. Appeals were taken to the national bituminous labor board at Washington, which upheld the Chicago tribunal. The U. 8.

district court at East St. Louis refused to hear a petition for want of jurisdiction, and similarly the national labor board and the national recovery review board declined to accept jurisdiction. Appeal was finally taken to the President, for whom Gen. Johnson made answer today. Standard Parade Attracts Crowd ing assessments against the prop-1 deal of comment.

Alderman Dickinson suggested purchase of a wooded site north of the city. Mayor Schnaufer proposed that If the Carstens site were purchased It be paid for without a special levy, although City Attorney Manning advised that the city could levy a special one-mill tax for the purpose without submitting the proposal to popular vote. The matter was referred to a special committee for a report at an adjourned meeting Friday night.

The offer also Included a rate of 3.1 cents per kilowatt hour on the swimming pool and park lights up (o 7500 kilowatts.
