He was the second bootleg miner to die since beginning of the new year.

Kovich was working on the gangway at the bottom of a 80 feet below the surface when the fall occurred without warning. His son. John Kovich. and several other workmen leaped to the rescue, while additional men were summoned from other independent operations in the area. The rescuers worked three hours before they succeeded in removing the heavy rocks and debris from the victim to find he had been badly crushed.

During the time the rescuers worked, the Rev. Porter Sei-well, pastor of the Minersville church Kcvich attended, descended into the mines in an effort to minister to the unfortunate miner. Kovich had been engaged in bootleg mining the past several years after having lost employment at a colliery near Minersville. He is survived by his widow and five children. lZ-inch guns.

Owens made no reference to the governorship in his address, tracing history and growth of the mine workers' union since 50 years ago when 199 unicnists met in Columbus and two days later agreed upon a constitution establishing the United Mine Workers.

Owens said that largely through the union's efforts "these dark, dank Siberias of the coal fields have been transformed into American communities where civil rights and liberties prevail." U. M. W. President John L. Lewis was to follow Owens with an extemporaneous spee.h to touch on many economic problems confronting the mine union and the nation generally.

The delegates earlier had given Lewis a six-minute ovation, including the discordant playing of five bands playing five different tunes at the same time. Lewis described the Constitution of the union as a guarantee to the individual members of their rights and as a "great human and American document." He emphasized the consolidating and advancing of the gains of the past. He counseled the miners to "call to political account" any public official who sought to deprive them of their "natural prerogatives and their rights as citizens."
