...race. Since starting in 1928 he had entered 37 six-day races, won 17. Alfred Letourner, teamed with Peden this autumn for the first time, is an excitable little Frenchman who wolfs six thick mutton chops at a swoop. His oldtime partner was now his opponent: Belgian Gerard Debaets, a clown who enlivens dull hours of the grind by sailing around the track with a parasol, a bustle or false whiskers...

Thus a new deadlock was created and NRA's special coal arbitration board headed by General Electric's Gerard Swope had its first "grievance" to straighten out. After hearing both sides the board ordered that: 1) election notices were to be posted two days in advance at each mine; 2) the election was to be held at the mine entrance; 3) any miner willing to help pay the check...
