According to the complaint, the offense was committed on Main street of Price in September when several hundred members and sympathizers of the National Miners' union marched on the court house with the alleged intention of freeing two other Charles Guynn and organizers, Charles Wetherbee, from the county jaiL Guynn was found guilty by a district court jury last week of riot at Spring Canyon, and is scheduled to be sentenced Saturday. However, the time of pronouncing judgment will probably be continued until the day Crouchs trial starts so that the strike leaders attorney, Harry G. Metos of Salt Lake, will not be inconvenienced. Wetherbee is also charged with riot at Spring Canyon, and all three of the union leaders are accused of criminal syndicalism, the complaints alleging they taught and urged union members to commit unlawful acts during the strike. Motorists Jam City Hall To Secure New Car License Plates Hundreds of Carbon county car owners thronged to the city hall this week to obtain their 1934 automobile plates. Wednesday was the last day on which motorists were able to operate cars without the new licenses. Oswald Coombe and Walter directors of the local license branch, stated that those who drive automobiles without 1934 plates are subject to arrest and prosecution. In such cases, automobiles may be impounded until the plates are secured and a double fee may be charged for the licenses. Motorists may avoid the penalties by not using their automobiles until they have obtained plates. Mr. Coombe and Mr. Eldredge will remain in Price for about 15 days to aid Carbon county residents in preparing their 1934 income tax returns.

According to law, the treasurer must mail out his valuation notices ten days prior to the first equalization day, but if the tax rolls are not turned over to him before the first Monday in May, he will be unable to prepare and mail the notices by the required time. For that reason, Mr. Rowley has arranged to turn over the rolls much earlier than usual. Placing of assessments on the rolls will begin this week, and according to Mr. Rowley, the present office force will be able to handle the work without the hiring of additional employes. Persons who have complaints relative to their assessments are requested to see Mr. Rowley before the tax rolls are given to the treasurer. Those who do not make complaints before that time are advised to be certain to apply for adjustments on equalization days as they will have no further opportunity.

Employes of. the Columbia Steel company' mine at Columbia, who went on trike Friday of last week, will return to work Thursday (toV day) pending either a ruling of the national labor board on the situation or the signing of an agreement, between the company and elective representative of the miner, covering the points at (ssue. Isaac Evans, president of the Columbia local union of the United Mine Workers of America, said that 1(8 men declared holiday because thr company refused to comply with a recent ruling of the divisional labor board that the company reinstate men discharged last fall and recognize the union. F. E. Morris of the labor compliance staff of the N. R. A., who arrived Monday to investigate the strike, announced Wednesday that the Columbia colliery, which is a captive mine, would sign an agreement similar to that affecting other captive This mines in the United States. agreement will not recognize the United Mine Workers as such, but will have essentially the same provisions as agreements between the U. M. W. A. and other companies. The Columbia company will allow the rrtiners to belong to any union they wish, and will follow the checkoff system for collection of union dues and paying of a checkweigh-man. Morris stated that similar agreements had been signed with employes of the United States Steel corporation, and mines of the H. C. Frick company, the National Mining company and the Sharon Coal and Limestone company of Pennsylvania. According to Mr. Morris, the company agreed to reinstate the discharged men by March 12. He did not say why they would not return to work wtih the others Thursday. T. C. Harvey, mine superintendent, refused to comment on the strike, but it is understood the company claimed the men were discharged for economy reasons. However, the Columbia local union contended they were laid off because of union activities. The strike was conducted peacefully, and authorities highly praised the manner in which the men conducted themselves. Mr. Morris was assigned to inves- tigate the strike by Allen T. Sanford, state N. R. A. compliance director, actng upon instructions from George Creel of San Francisco, regional COOK TO ADDRESS FISH, GAME MEET An address by Newell B.
