Lewis, but no one has as yet told

us how to get coal mined. Since the C. I. O., the A. F. of L. and the Railroad Brotherhood have all made some statements which seem to indicate that they are ready to back Lewis it is feared that the jailing of Lewis or the freezing of the union’s funds would precipitate a general strike. Personally I doubt that. As things now stand, it is hard for me to believe that the C. I. O. will continue to support Lewis in his defiance of the government. Some writers accuse Lewis of trying to overthrow the government. Others accuse Krug 1 and President Truman of wanting to break the labor unions. I do not hold with either of these extreme views. Event though the contract did not make any provisions for its opening, as Krug contended, I think that since the cost of living had advanced since the contract was signed, he could have opened the contract with Lewis without in anyway discrediting the government. Krug may have been a little stubborn in not opening the contract, but I don’t think he started out with any intentions of breaking either Lewis or the Union. Krug offered Lewis a sixty day period in which he could have negotiated with the operators. Promising to release the mines as soon as a contract was signed between Lewis and the

miners.

If the sixty days expired without a contract being signed between Lewis and the operators, the government would at that time let go of the mines and let Lewis and the operators fight it out. I fail to see anything unfair or anti-union in that offer, but Lewis refused to negotiate with the operators and demanded the right to negotiate with the government. Whatever contract Lewis might have got from the government would have been only temporary. Six months after the official end of the war the mines must be returned to the owners, and from there on Lewis will have to deal with them. It would not have been a bad idea for him to have dealt with them while tho mines were still running under

government operations.

It seents that Lewis has been too stubborn, too impatient, and

body has pulled a boner, and the nation and the world are suffering its consequences. In the final analysis it lies with one of two persons, i. e., President Truman or Jonh L. Lewis. The blame must be placed on one or the

other of these two men.

I shall reserve my final judg-

think labor in general would do well to follow a like course. If in the end Lewis presents facts to justify his actions, he should have the support of public opinion and of all labor. Should he fail to present such facts, he should be ousted as a labor leader. If the final evidence proves that Truman and Krug have challenged Lewis and his miners with any intentions of breaking Lewis and weakening organized labor, Truman will deserve criticism for subjecting the nation to unnecessary suffering and hardships, and Krug should be thrown out of the Cabinet. The entire nation is suffering. Some one is to blame, and the guilty should not go unpunished. Evidently we have irresponsible leadership in either the government or in the UMW. The nation should no longer be made to suffer as a result of irrespon-

sible leaders.

LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF BIDS FOR TEMPORARY

SCHOOI, LOANS

Notice is hereby given that at 1:30 p. in. on Tuesday, the 31st day of December, 1946, at the office of the Superintendent of City Schools, Room 226 Central Hisfh School Building in the City of Muncie, Indiana, the Board of School Trustees of the School City of Muncie, Indiana, will receive sealed bids and proposals for temporary school loans in the aggregate principal slim of Or.e Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) to raise funds to meet the current operating expenses of said school city for the school year in which such Mans are made, in anticipation and to be paid out of taxes actually levied and

.now in course of collection for said too defiant of governmental au- I year, which said leans will be evidenc-

* ed by time warrants of said School City Of Muncie, Indiana, executed in its name and on its behalf by the President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Board of School Trustees of said School City. All of said time warrants Will be due and payable on July 30, 1947, and will bear interest at the lowest rate obtainable, not exceeding six oer cent (6%) per annum, the interest to maturity to be added to and included in tpe face of said warrants. Said time warrants evidencing said temporary loads will'be dated arid issued oh the follpvying respective dates, for the following respective amounts, plus interest to maturity, and for use of the foilawing respective school funds, to-wit:

January 10, 1947, Special Schl.

Fund — $ 50,000.00

January 15, 1947, Tuition

fund ( ^ 100,000.00 The amount of the principal of said warrants with interest to the maturity thereof, has been appropriated out of current revenues of the respective funds for which said amounts are borrow'ed and said revehues have been pledged to the payment of the principal and interest of said time warrants. Said loans will bp made with the bid-

thority. He had two ways out of the situation without placing himself in defiance of the government. When Judge Goldsborough issued his restraining injunction, Lewis could have forced a competent legal decision on the issue between himself and Krug. It would have required but a few days for a court to decide whether or not the contract made any provisions for its reopening. With the Attorney General being somewhat inclined to agree with Lewis, he had a fifty-fifty chance of winning his case. Had the court decided against him, he still would have had less than two months to work under the contract. Had the mine owners alIbwed the sixty ' days to lapse without signing with Lewis, Lewis would then have been free to strike against the owners, instead of striking against the govern-

ment at this time.

Had Lewis shown that much patience and willingness to keep the mines going, even at a little expense of a few cents for the miners, he would have won public approval, and would have been in a position to receive the general support of all unions without any risk of defying the

government.

These are the facts of the case, as they appear after a careful study of all the published reports. I have no behind the scene information. There may be facts or one side or the other, or on both, which have not as yet been revealed. Lewis, of course, knows more about what he has in mind than any outsider has been able

Study Plan To Ration Coal Indianapolis, Ind. — Indiana State officials studied a coal rationing proposal today which they said might be used in the event the fuel shortage makes such a step necessary. The proposal was made yesterday to Governor Gates’ Fuel Conservation Advisory Committee by John Mellett, public relations director for the Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc., and a member of the Advisory Committee. The committee referred the suggested program to John B. Bailey, director of the Traffic Bureau of the State Public Service Commission, and directed that he study it with the idea in mind of following it if a rationing program became necessary. o Snow Blankets Northwest Area

Seattle, Wash. — Washington and the Pacific Northwest huddled under a blanket of snow today ranging fi’om one inch in Seattle itself to 27 inches in Stampede Pass just east of the Seattle-Ta-coma area. Railroad, motor and air transportation was stopped or thrown off schedule from Wenatchee, Wash., to the coast and city traffic was slowed by snow and slush in Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia and other coast cities. The weather bureau said cold air had moved in from the north and east to make the coastal region bear the brunt of the snow. It forecast occasional rain or snow today and said the eastern part of the state would receive colder weather. East of the Cascade Mountains yesterday it was raining as snow fell along the coast.

School Children In In Early Vacation Nearly 100,000 children children in four states were on vacation today as a result of teachers’ strikes and a shortage of coal. Several thousand more were scheduled to begin Christmas vacations this week end to conserve dwindling supplies of fuel. Schools in Denver were closed for the duration of the coal strike, giving 56,000 children and 1,800 teachers a holiday. The children were urged to keep up their home work by the radio. Classes were conducted over the majority of the city’s stations. Another 30,000 pupils were out in St. Paul, Minn., as a result of the strike of 1,160 AFL teachers over wages. In Shamokin, Pa., a strike of 94 teachers to enforce demands for a $300 bonus and a salary increase left 2,400 children With time on their hands. In Michigan 3,500 children have been sent home because of the coal famine and 14,000 more were scheduled to begin early Christmas vacations this weekend when schools will close in Lansing. o Party Workers To Hold Party Ded. 10 Attention—Party Workers!

Skerry, 48, a Harvard graduate and teacher, who learned with amazement that President Roosevelt was dead and that World War II had ended. Apparently jolted into reality by a minor accident, Skerry wandered into a Back Bay police station and asked for assistance. He said someone picked him up on a Boston street and told him he had been hit by an automobile. Prior to that, he said, he could only remember being in a veterans’ hospital in 1941. “I don’t know who I am,” he said, “I don’t know where I got these clothes. I’m all upset. I feel peculiar.” Skerry was sent to a hospital and police established his identity through papers found in his pocket. Since Pearl Harbor, they learned, he had taught at Governor Dummer Academy, Tilton

Academy and the Huntington school in Boston. For several years, however, he had not been teaching. He could not remember what he had been doing. “These hands,” he said, “they look more like hands from a machine shop than an academy.” His hands were rough and calloused, and Skerry was shabbily dressed in a dark overcoat and gray tweed pants. A poHdeman asked him if he knew the year was 1946. Skerry appeared startled. “1946?” he said. “You must be joking.” His brother, William Bancroft Skerry of Manchester, N. H., was notified and came to Boston. He said Skerry was a native of Providence, R. I., and had served with the army during the last war. Skerry remembered nothing of his war service.

SPRUCE] BEER

helped an Army win a War!

# General Washington saw to it that troops in the Continental army were issued a ration of spruce beer. It was made by actually introducing the tips of spruce trees into the brews of that day. The beer made a bitter, unpalatable drink, but it contained health-giving vitamin elements so necessary in the monotonous and none too bountiful war diets of those times. Since then science and the art of the brewmaster have brought to perfection the sparkling, zesty brews of today, all made in breweries of meticulous cleanliness. In fact, sanitation is uppermost in the mind of the brewmaster. Spruce, of course, has long been dropped as an ingredient. Instead the pure products of the farms—barley, and corn, and sometimes rice, and hops for that tart flavorform the basis of the modern beers. The food values of the original grains are enhanced in the brewing process, the vitamins are retained in all their vigor; hence beer has become a welcome addition to the daily diets of the average American in his home, in the restaurant and at his club. It isq’t plentiful yet, due to the necessary post-war conservation measures, but it won’t be long until you can order your favorite brand without having to put your name on the waiting list. %>eet Id 41 “Sewuiye TfOuCvutfid* Buy it Only from Law-Abiding Permittees
