LAVA CAP MEN ASK NEW VOTE Employes of the Lava Cap mine have petitioned the regional director of the National Labor Relations Board in San Francisco, Mrs. Alice M.

The employes will vote their preference as to whether they will be represented by Mine Mine Workers Protective League, or the non-union group employed in the mine. At present the CIO affiliate is the bargaining agency and recently they submitted a contract’ for renewal. Action on this has been delayed, however, until a new vote can be taken. The committee presenting the petition to Mrs. Rosseter consisted of Carl Porter, William Hatch, Phillip Egan and J. J.
