Gold Mine Shaft
Went Dry; Bain
Of Little Help
In spite of Tuesday's welcome
rain. Kings Mountain's water sup.
ply was still short this week.
Though some water was being
pumped into the York Road main
reservoir from the new auxiliary
reservoir on Davidson creek, the
Gold Mint shaft, which had been
the principal auxiliary source
through two dry summers, was
pumped dry last Thursday and
has been pumped only intermit
tently and for short periods since.
City officials were hopeful that
more rains would arrive to alle
viate the shortagte.
Meantime, consumption re
mained at low levels. George
Moss, water plant operator, said
the daily average of consumption
by city customers remains just
short of 400,000 gallons per day.
The York Road reservoir water
level, aided by the Davidson
Creek pumpage and Tuesday's
rain, was reported up about four
inches, but city officials were not
expected to rescind current re
strictions on water consumption
until heavy rain arrives.
The city board, in a brief spe
cial session Tuesday morning, au
thorized some changes in the
York Road reservoir dam rais
? to conform to original
1928 plans for the building of the
dam ? City Clerk Joe Hendrick
reported. The board agreed to
P?y A. P. Warllck an additional
$461.40. Mr. Warlick already held
contract for raising the dam level
four feet The changes provide
for certain reinforcements, Mr.
Hendrick said.
Charlotte's Tuesday rainfall
was reported at one-fourth inch,
which some citizens thought com
parable to the total falling here.

Pickets Also
Interfering
With Pit Work
,\i
An undetermined number of
construction workers were out on
strike at Lithium Corporation of
America's now-building Bessemer
City processine plant this week,
in what management termed a
wildcat strike.
Labor trouble was also report
ed at Lithium's Murphy-Houser
mine near Cherryvllle, where ore
digging operations are underway.
Pete Heavener. delivery man for
Plonk Oil Company, said he was
turned away Monday from the
Houser mine by pickets. However,
he returned Tuesday, ho said, and
made his -deliveries. " ?
A Lithium spokesman Wednes
day said that the difficulties at
the plant ? ? located about equal
distant between Kings Mountain
and Bessemer City ? involved
workmen for Hicks & Ingle, a
Charlotte piping, firm, a sub-con
tractor ? for - Southeastern Con
struction Company, which holds
the contract for building the sev
en-million dollar plant. When the .
piping crew walked out, union
members of other sub-contrac
tors, principally electricians, as
well as some nonunion carpen
ters. honored the picket lines;.
Herald Reporter Lafaye Mea
cham visited the Lithium plant,
gate Tuesday and talked to the
three pickets thenVm duty in raw,
rainy weather. They gave their
names as W. Eugene Allen, Kings
Mountain, Bun Martin, Grover,
and Scott Hall, Murphy. They
gave various reasons for the
strike including 1) desire for in
creased wages, and 2) desire for
a closed shop. The pickets also
said further information on the
strike could be obtained from a
Charlotte telephone number,
which the Herald callfed Wednes
day.
J. L. Allen, who answered the
telephone, said a Mr. Dixon, who
was directing the Lithium strike,
was in Plymouth. J. L. Allen stat
ed only that the strike involved
an American Federation of La
bor union, that the strike was
against Southeastern Construc
tion Gompany, not Lithium Cor
poration, and that the trouble at
the Houser pit had no connection
with the plant walkout.
Lithium office manager Fred
Dixon doubted that the labor dif
ficulties are unconnected. He said
that Lithium Corporation tem
porarily laid off employees min
ing ore at Indian Creek on No
vember 5 and that W. Eugene Al
len, one of the Lithium plant pic
kets, was among the Indian
Creek crew laid off. Mr. Dixon
said the layoff was ordered be
cause ore-mining operations had
got ahead of the construction
schedule and to await road and
bridge - building work in the In
dian Creek area.
Pete Heavener said he was
stopped at the entrance to the
Houser pit area Monday by about
20 pickets, who "cussed and rais
ed cain and appeared to be a
bunch or drunks". Mr. Heavener
said he was advised not to enter
the pit area by one man, who told
him he didn't know "what would
happen if I went in". When he
?xnd Fred Price, another delivery
man for Plonk Oil, made their
Tuesday deliveries, they drove on
through, without incident, except
that some of the pickets shook
their fists at them, Mr. Heavener
related. '
The Gastonia Gazette reported
Tuesday the following statement
from -G. A. Munson, Lithium'?
