Forty-six years ago, 18-year-old Billy Green put aside his school books at small Coshocton, Ohio and went down into the inky bowels of the Morgan Run Coal Mine to make a living. Like 50 other miners who dug Morgan Run coal, he soon carried a United Mine Workers card in his overalls. When Morgan Run coal was exhausted in 1922, Billy Green was one of the few members of the Morgan Run local who was not thrown out of work. Billy had gone above ground some 20 years before and was rapidly climbing...
Last November President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, who had come up from the mines to become William Green's great foe as leader of the Committee for Industrial Organization, delivered a grave insult to Coshocton's most famed son. He impudently ordered William Green to show cause why he should not be expelled from the U. M. W. (TIME, Nov. 22). Realizing that under union rules they could try Billy Green if John L. Lewis pressed his expulsion order, the Morgan Run unionists became more interested in their local than they had been...
...white & green are the flags of Italy and Hungary though the Hungarian flag is of a different stripe (horizontal). Firmly grasping thousands of both kinds of flags in their damp fists, Budapest school children lined the streets last week all the way from the railroad station across the Danube to the vast pile of Franz Josef's royal palace above the city. The kingless Kingdom of Hungary was entertaining the first royalty to visit it officially since the owl-eyed King of Siam went to Budapest shortly after the War. Little old Vittorio Emanuele of Italy, his strapping Queen...
Even without Commander Woodrooffe, the review that took place earlier that day was a naval occasion no Briton should forget. Between Portsmouth on the Hampshire shore and the green Isle of Wight lie the most famed yachting waters in the world. Here in a carefully marked out area of 24 sq. mi. were assembled 277 ships ranging from the world's greatest warship, the 42,000-ton battle cruiser Hood, to a proud delegation of British herring trawlers. Wardroom statisticians quickly figured that the 143 British warships in line alone displaced 670,000 tons, cost British taxpayers...
Four years ago this month one George Combes, putting on the 18th green of the Dyker Beach Park Municipal Golf Course in Brooklyn, N. Y., was struck in the eye by a ball driven from the fourth tee by one Edward Applestein. Last week, agreeing with Golfer Combes's contention that the City of New York "created a hazardous condition when it placed the fourth tee and the 18th green too close together," a jury awarded him $10,000 of the city's money for the loss...
