When a workingman in private employ has
served long and faithfully the government OF Saxony
confers on him a silver medal in recognition OF the
wears of toll he has contributed the countrys pro-
sress Fine idea for the u. S., someone says Let's
see.
John Petroski, American born, takes his place as
a coal miner at the age Of 16. When John Is Il, still
straight and strong he marrics pretty Maria Twenty
years pass and John has done quarter OF century
work toilng from daybreak for 10, IL and even IL
hours day in the depths Of mine, emerging each
night with begrimed body, deadened mind and UNI
conscious that he has ever had a soul.
In house Of two exists John Petrosi<i, aged
Al his wife and children. Forty-one years OF
age the beginning of manhood's prime, but John 10

without love- without hope, without life enough even
60 complain.
One night six miners bring home what is left of
John on an mprovsed strctcher. Oh, just = slight
accident the superintendent tells the reporters. The
mechanical and human machinery Of the great mine
wasn't stopped in its work for than ten minutes
Johns leg has to be cut off. he's fired. The mine
can't be expected to hire cripples.
John begins to murmur little the bitter
poverty that faces him. This must be stopped at
once. Brilliant idea! Get government medal for
him. He has served rs years. That viii prevent him
from complaining of hunger and cold, and the unin
spected machinery which made the accident possible
viii again escape attention. Fine idea!
Wouldn't service-penson be more OF recogn
ton than a medal?
Wouldnt federal investigation and real federal
enforcement of safe working conditions and adequate
wages be even better than a pension? You answer
that.
