A special meeting of the board was called after the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company reported the refusal of 9,000 workers to work last Saturday when a majority of collieries tributary to the two central breakers were sched- its inception in the Shenandoah-Mahanoy City area and workmen from that locality persuaded men at collieries tributary to Locust Summit central breaker to take similar action. The movement reached its crisis last Saturday when all workers refused to work because their collieries had not worked other days during the week.

O. Guy Wingert, 51, of Clark Valley, known to many local and region sportsmen as "Huckleberry Finn" because of his devotion to outdoor life, died yesterday afternoon in the naimhln rVnmt.w loil .t. Wnrrlshurtr. -hor. hA hPirt oc murderer of William McElwee, a neighbor he shot to death two weeks ago Saturday. At the same time he seriously wounded Mrs. McElwee. From the time he had been admitted to Jail, Wingert refused to partake of food ahd gradually grew weaker. The Dauphin County court had named a lunacy commission over the past week-end and shortly before noon yesterday two alienists visited the man in his cell. He was too weak to be taken to the warden's office when the alienists visited the jail. Following their examination of Wingert, the alienists returned to the court house at Harrisburg to prepare a report after finding Wh gert insane. It was while they were thus engaged that an attendant in the jail found Wingert dead in his cell. A physician said death was due to exhaustion, resultant from starvation. Wingert died without knowledge he had murdered McElwee and seriously wounded Mrs. McElwee, who continues in a serious condition in Harrisburg Hospital. Jail attaches did not inform the murderer his victim had died. William Wingert, Sr., and his son, William, Jr., of Williamstown, were killed under a rush of coal at the Williamstown colliery of the Susquehanna Collieries Company a week preceeding the fatal shooting at the McElwee home. It is believed the double mine tragedy preyed upon the trapper's mind, resulting in loss of reasoning. While a guest in the McElwee home, Wingert suddenly drew a revolver and shot McElwee and his wife. He informed state police who arrested him the McElwees had injected poison into his toe. This proved to be a delusion as examination failed to reveal a mark of any kind on Wingert 's body or toes. S. E.

NEW POLICY ON FEDERAL WORK RELIEFJS SEEN Latest Program Suggested by Offer of Grant to Pennsylvania. WASHINGTON, March 2 (U.R) Basis for a new, permanent policy which would supplement the curtailed program of the Works Progress Administration with aid from the Public Works Administration was - J . . 1 . . on rn rin i I seen lAuay iu a $4u,wu,uuu gicuit un der negotiation with Pennsylvania. Extension by Congress of PWA was generally predicted, particularly because its findings are in condition to permit the making of grants and loans for some time without a new congressional appropriation other than for administration costs. The new policy was suggested by PWA's offer to give Pennsylvania an outright grant of $20,000,000 if the state spends $15,000,000 of it to employ labor from work relief rolls in the construction of hospitals and other buildings it has planned for two j'ears. PWA offered to lend suf ficient additional money to complete the projects at four per cent interest. Such labor must be taken from WPA projects, PWA officials ex plained, and projects shut down whenever the supply of certified relief labor had been diverted to the PWA institutional building program. The unusual stipulation was announced by Colonel Horatio B. Hackett, assistant PWA administrator, after a conference with President Roosevelt. Previously the practice has been for contractors awarded PWA projects to employ relief labor when it was conveniently available and suitable. Colonel A. S. Janeway, executive director of the general state authority of Pennsylvania set up to administer the building program, announced that he was "not discouraged" by the 100 per cent relief labor proviso. PWA, established as a spending agency to promote recovery by stimulating construction and manufacturing industries, would have funds available during the proposed two-year extension for numerous proj ects employing labor now engaged on WPA jobs. It was pointed out that WPA's proposed curtailment protested in the last two days by six governors and relief labor and local officials generally would be felt less if many employables went to work on projects partially financed by PWA grants with the relief labor stipulation. WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins testified in House hearings on the recently-enactel deficiency appropriation bill that he hoped to reduce his rolls from 2,000,000 to 1,600.000 during the six months ending June 20.
