THE COUNTRY MUST HAVE FUEL ORTUNATELY, President Roosevelt appears not to have | been ruffled by John L. Lewis’ ill-tempered attack blam- | ing the Administration for the shutdown in the coal fields.
Instead, with dignity and a sense of the responsibility that is his as President of all the people, Mr. Roosevelt in- | vited the miners’ and the operators’ representatives to the White House vesterday and told them that—
1. Public necessity demands that the mining of coal | be resumed at once; | 2. The negotiators should remember that they not only | are spokesmen for miners and operators, but first of all | they are American citizens, and 3. They should negotiate continuously until they have | reached some agreement—and not later than tonight— whereby the coal mines may be reopened this week, Though Mr. Lewis seems to think otherwise, it is not the duty of the President of the United States to jump up | and click his heels any time some group or factional leader | bids him perform. It is not the duty of the President to | throw his influence to one side or the other in a hair-split- | ting argument over strike-penalty or closed-shop clauses in a labor contract. (Wages, hours and working conditions | in the coal fields are not at issue.) But it is the duty, and the responsibility, of the Presi- | dent to use every power at his command to insure continu- | ance of the nation’s fuel supply. The scarcity of coal, daily more acute, threatens to close thousands of factories, disrupt the nation's transportation system, deprive millions of innocent workers of their jobs, and incidentally play | havoe with the nation's business recovery and armament | building program. | Mr, Roosevelt, we think, is doing the right thing in refusing to become involved in the dispute over what shall be the details in the long-term contract for which the coal | operators and the United Mine Workers are negotiating. His, and the country’s, concern lies in the immediate resumption of the mining of coal. After the coal is again being dug from the ground and moved in interstate com- | merce to points where fuel is needed, there will be time enough then for the miners’ and the operators’ representa- | tives to dicker over the details of their long-haul contrac- | tual relationship. Mr. Lewis savs it is not the U. M. W.'s fault that the | digging of coal stopped. He savs that he offered four times to continue operations, for either a specified or an unspeci- |
| |
| |
fied length of time, pending conclusion of the collective bar- | gaining negotiations. If that is still his position, and he makes it clear, then there will be no question where the blame rests. If the operators refuse, the onus will be on them. Nor | will there be any doubt where the President's influence and public opinion will go. For the country must have fuel. | And no group dares deny what the country must have.
‘M’KELLARISM’ HAT word, saves The Memphis Press-Scimitar, in the home State of Senator Kenneth D. McKellar, stands for— “The theory that public jobs do not belong to the tax- | payers who pay the salaries, but to some Senator, Governor | or other politician; that a public job should not be held by the person best qualified to serve the public in that capacity, | but by the person whose presence in the job will best serve | the political interest of the politician or give him the great- | est personal gratification.” On Page 9 in the paper today, a story from Washing- | ton tells what inspired The Press-Scimitar to publish that | definition. The senior Senator from Tennessee is engaged | in a determined attempt to drive from public service a man | named J. Ross Eakin, who is superintendent of the Great S~oky Mountains National Park. There is abundant evidence that Superintendent Eakin | is honest and efficient. And there is equally abundant evidence that Senator McKellar's attack represents spoils politics at its worst, The Senator has resorted to some amazing tacties. Evidence gathered hy Secretary of the Interior Ickes reveals a conspiracy at the polls, by means of which ballots cast by Superintendent Eakin and others were smudged with ink, for purposes of identification, and later abstracted from the ballot box. This was with intent to learn how Mr. Eakin voted in a Presidential election—something that, | of course, nobody but he had anv right to know. We honor Secretary Ickes for his firm stand in defense of Superintendent Eakin against what he calls a “cruel assault.” The Secretary is defending more than an individual. He is defending the National Park Service and the principle of Civil Service, both of which would suffer great harm if Senator McKellar should succeed in his purpose. | And, by exposing the ballot-smudging incident in Tennessee, he is defending democracy. For, if politicians get away with an invasion of secrecy of the ballot®in a remote mountain precinct in Tennessee, they will try the same | trick elsewhere in that State and in others. And, if politicians gain the power to learn how you vote, in order to punish you if you don’t vote as they wish, that will be a | death-blow to democracy.
THE FIRST FAMILIES
OU often hear the expression, “the first families.” Usually the term is misleading. What the people who use it mean is, “the richest families,” or “the oldest | families,” or “the socially snootiest families.” But the Social Security Board has discovered the real “first families.” First in number of people to bear the name. First of the first are the Smiths. With a magnificent phalanx of 418000, they head the list. Then march the Johnsons, the Browns, the Williamses, the Millers and the | Joneses, There are your real American “first families.” certified in that position by the elaborate statistics of the Social | Security Board itself, first in war, first in peace, and first on the charts of their countrymen. {

secretly envied Ernie Pyle, the touring reporter |
who rattles around the country in his ear, accom- |
panied by a person whom he sometimes mentions as “That Girl,” who would seem to be Mrs. Pyle, He writes his way along, keeps out of New York and other big cities which are overcrowded by other reporters and writers, knows more small-town and dirt-road Americans than Jim Farley and is better informed on the condition—or, anyway, the feeling— of the small people than Mrs. Roosevelt herself. Ernie's pieces are strictly T-bone medium all the time, and I have thought sometimes that the only way to obtain grass-root information myself would be I still think so, but I no longer envy the boy, because 10 days of his method have produced
| negligible profit and acquainted me with the seamy
side of roving journalism. The people whom I have interviewed in the casual “howdy, neighbor,” manner of the tumbleweed reporter blowing this way and that across the land have been mostly the men who sell gas and polish windshields in small towns, girls and boys of high school age who serve sandwiches in little restaurants and bellhops in hotels. They all have been polite and friendly, but somehow my picks didn't turn up any
| special stories which could be described as human
documents, and at this stage of the game I am wondering what Mr. Pvle does about laundry when he is hop-scotehing around on one-night-stands, not know-
{ ing which way he will steer his high-powered ba-
rouche next day. » » WONDER, also, what he uses for time and sleep on his travels, because it takes anywhere from one to four hours a day to produce a piece for the papers, and if you reckon to cover 200 miles a day on the average and visit points of interest, such as springs, gorges, caves, battlefields and Andy Jackson's old home, there vou have a 12-hour day already, with no allowance for sitting around at night with the editor

Sleep is a serious problem, especially for a New Yorker accustomed to the peace and quiet of a well-
| kept metropolis, because the small-town people drive | almost entirely by horn, rarely using their brakes, and
the night is made awful by blasts of noise which stah like knives and produce a hurt that is really physical.

the state of their nerves, and neither do they notice the radio or the restaurant music machines which maintain a hideous racket from dawn until the lights are out at night, \ | *® nw | VEN in hotels guests turn on the radio real loud | and nobody seems to mind or even notice, | There is no local music.

Business Errs in Fearing Arnold, Judging by His Antitrust Stand.
EW YORK, May 10.—Thurman Ammnold, Assistant Attorney General in charge of enforcing the
American
| antitrust laws, has made another pronouncement on
the subject. Every speech Mr. Arnold makes brings
| out more clearly that there is going to be no impor-
tant enforcement of the antitrust laws under his administration. One wonders therefore why businessmen persist in being so frightened of him. Mr. Arnold is looked upon as a sort of wild and woolly trust-buster. But Mr. Armold does not actually
|
| play out that role in his capacity as a legal statesman. | Here are the reasons for these observations: First, it
must be remembered that no administration since Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison has so completely failed to enforce the antitrust laws as the present one. First of all, in 19323 the laws were suspended by the NRA. After the NRA was discarded. the Jaws were permitted to lia dormant until Mr. Then several prosecutions were started. But altogether they have been unimportant. Then Mr. Amold began playing with the idea of dealing sweetly and mercifully with the trust law violators through the instrumentality of the ill-starred End more or less disreputable consent decree tech-
regulators. Now Mr. Arnold makes another pronouncement. He told the American Trade Association executives that the economic necessities of the machine age require that we recognize three principles in applying the antitrust laws.
Playing With NRA Idea First, that combinations which contribute to the
efficiency of mass production should not be disturbed.
And notwithstanding that the law makes combinations | In restraint of trade unlawful. The Attorney General
|
| is going to set up as a judge of whether combinations
do actually contribute to the efficiency of mass pro- |
Second, he thinks concerted action by groups of marketing conditions should not be considered unlawful under the rule of reason. Of course this gives away the whole antitrust law doctrine. The combinations made by competitors are all undertaken to insure orderly marketing—but orderly in the interests of the producers and of profits. What economic machine has been set up in the courts or the Attornev General's office to determine which of these agreements make for orderly marketing in the interest of the consumer? These pronouncements all tend to confirm the warning often given here that, in spite of all the talk about big business and economic rovalists, the school
| of the Administration to which Mr. Arnold belongs |
persists in playing with the NRA idea of regulating
| production and prices in the interest of producers. the | regulation to be carried on by the producers,

Gen. Johnson Says—
Roosevelt Made Mistakes, but Few Will Support C. of C. in Demanding Retreat From All of His Reforms.
ASHINGTON, May 10.--The U. 8. Chamber of Commerce could be profitably wrapped in cello phane and put on fee for five years. You can jibe at Mr. Roosevelt and the later versions of the First New Deal as much as you care-—I have done it until I am weary—but I can never forget Mr, Roosevelt's
| first brilliant “hundred days” and neither should any-
body else in business forget them. They took this
| country from its lowest point of economic disaster
to the greatest improvement ever recorded in so short
| 8 time in all our history,
There were many reasons for this but not the least
| was that the country was united behind the Presi-
dent and his strongest area of support was business.
| If I had to put my finger on the one principal cause
for our failure to carry on to prosperity, I would
| say that it was the growing rift and ultimate bitter
| hostility

OOKING back on that history, I would assess the blame about equally on each side, The President is accused of stubbornness and vindictiveness and I think he deserves it, But in view of the closing resolutions of the U, 8. Chamber of Commerce, he has nothing on them. Talk about the Bourbons who learned nothing and forgot nothing! The net effect of those resolutions is a plea to retreat from all the social advances of the last six years. It can't be done, It was Woodrow Wilson, 20 years ago who first suggested that we take a good look at our own system in view of the Russian revolution to see whether we were not also laggard in many social reforms necessary to preserve that system. Stalin, as well as Hitler and Mussolini and all the hateful fsms that now threaten the world did not invent themselves. They were products of unbearing pressures on the people from whence they came. History may condemn the President's later acts, but it ean never fail to credit the job he did in awakening conscience of this country, As in all such sudden swings of a long-reprassed pendulum, we have gone too far too fast, It {= time to refine, re-edit, and improve, but there is no turning back the hands of the clock. ” » ”

He Disagrees With Senator's Sleep Potion as a Cure for Our Problems.
EW YORK, May 10 Senator Robert Rice Reve nolds, from North Carolina, is one of America's leading isolationists, and among those who ardently support his theories as to our foreign policies are columnists and others who describe themselves as “lovers of democracy.” 1t is interesting to note that the Senator has been highly successful in forming a united front. Certain groups follow in his train which* would seem upon the surface to have nothing in coms« mon with the “defenders of democracy.” Bob Reynolds boasts that he is a plain man of tha plain people. In the Senate he is second only to Vandenberg as a fashion plate, but when he rides to hustings he is all Tarheel up and down. For simple folk he has a simple formula. “Let them eat opium.” might well express his doctrine for the solution of both domestic and foreign issues. In his speech before the American Defense Society, Inc. at the Hotel Astor on Saturday he suggested that the United States should take a “sleeping powder.” He prescribed this as a soothing sirup for any who wish to trouble their heads about war and appression, His suggestion that Uncle Sam should g6 completely Rip Van Winkle was greeted with loud applause by Fritz Kuhn, head of the German-American bund, who attended the luncheon with 10 members of his army,

But Senator Reynolds has no nead of visible signs: and portents to show him the Nazi line whieh he de= lights to follow. While he enjoys the apen admiration and approbation of Fritz, it is not wholly necessary, for Senator Reynolds has been all the way up to headquarters on his own, Only recently he returned from Germany, and gave out to the press a glowing interview on the achievements of Herr Hitler, The Senator would allow no immigration what« soever, and he is as particularly bitter against the plan to give asylum to persecuted children. He has promised to prevent any democratic procedure in the matter of the Wagner-Rogers bill by putting on a filibuster and making a vote impossible. According to the Herald Tribune Mr, Kuhn and his guests applauded. At the end of the luncheon Mr. Kuhn was asked how he liked the speech of Senator Reynolds, and he said, “I like the speech very well, I underline everything he says.” And so Uncle Sam is to take a slesping powder, and when he wakes up after a long gnooza he will find that good old Uncle Adolf has put A prese ent in the toe of his stocking.

Watching Your Health
By Dr. Morris Fishbein
N the wards of a large city hospital, some 26,000 people come every year with emotional and mental disturbances which make them noisy, excited and dife ficult to handle. Doctors call them disturbed people. When these people come into the hospital, it is frequently found that, as a result of their iliness, or perhaps as part of their mental disturbance, they have failed to get sufficient water in the body. Sometimes they are suffering also with fever which tends to make more water necessary. \ The signs of lack of fluid in the body are dryness of the lips, tongue and skin; a small amount of fluid passed from the kidneys, and even a lessened amount of saliva. Associated with the lack of water there is loss of mineral salts. Most of the salt missing in such a case is ordinary sodium chloride or common salt. Recently investigators made a special study of patients who were disturbed in association with alcoholism. In a typical case, a man with delirium tremens who was seeing all sorts of strange animals and hear ing all sorts of peculiar voices had lost entire sense
