THERE ARE LITTLE THINGS IN
LIFE AS WELL AS BIG THINGS

We are all prone to think of the big
things of life, forgetting the trite
saying that "big oaks from little
acorns grow"
We read with secret longing that
Roger Babson, the statistician, recent
ly announced in The Forum that there
are at least twenty ways, all new,
by which a man could easily make 4
million dollars. We look over his
list of inventions, day dream, then
sigh and cast them aside as being too
much for US.
We read of Pickford, Fairbanks.
Chaplin and score of other screen
favorites whose incomes run into the
hundreds of thousands and perhaps
have a sneaking idea that we, too, if
given an opportunity, might do as
well. We again sigh, cast that aside
and nothing comes of it.
But we fail to enthuse or "get all
het up" over what, to US, seem the
small things. We cannot understand
how German scientist could possibly
spend ten years of his life working
out theory relating to space, his
whole ten years work being reduced
to calculations that fill a very small
pamphlet selling on the market at 25
cents, and which, apparently no one
but the author understands.
Or, that Nicholson, physicist of the
Chicago University, could spend
years of his life and thousands of dol
lars just to ascertain whether his for
mer calculations that light travelled
at the rate of 186,284 miles a second,
is correct to within one or two points
in million.
Yet these two men, working at what
the great mass of people believe to be
trivial things, are adding much to the
sum total of human knowledge that
will not only benefit us but future
generations.
So it is with our everyday communi-
ty life. While we are thinking about
and planning for the bigger things
for our town and community, let US do
the small things at hand. Clean up
our town; beautify our property; keep
our streets and alleys in good condi-
ton; get rid of the unsightly and I'M
sanitary out buildings; be friendly
and courteous; impress on the Wis
itor that he, himself, is as welcome
as his dollars.
Do the small things and the big
ones will follow.

BRITISH PARTIES
 TESTING STRENGTH
Throw Full Power Into Bly,
 Elections This Week

London, March IS R-The poli- tical forces of Great Britain are casting their full strength into five by-elections to be held during the coming week. They are regarded as a final test before the general cleo tions, the last of May.
 The test, however. will not be an absolute one. Until May l the vot- ing lists will not include the 5,500.- GOO "fappers" wl.o recently receiv- ed the franchise. and therefore will not indicate where the "fapper" vote will go in May. The by-elec- tions, however, are near enough the main battle for organizers to scan the horizon eagerly for signs and portents.
 In both the Eddisbury division Of Cheshire, where the fight is straight one between conservati> es and liberals. and in the Holland with-Boston division of Lincolnshire, the Farmers Union is actively work, ing against the government.
 In Holland-with-B Boston the Farm CTS Union has placed F. w. Dennis in the field as their first candidate. Dennis an influential farmer of con. servative traditions, has taken agri- cultural depression as the basis Of his platform and proposes import duties on all agricultural products which can be raised here.
 It is believed generally he win come in at the foot of the four can didates in the race. but labor lead CTS look 10 him to defect enough votes from the conservative column 10 enable them 10 capture the seat.
 Death has claimed the tenth mem Der of the house Of commons within three months. Frank Bradley Var ley, labor member for Mansfield, Nottingham. died Sunday, aged A. His death gave the house it's seventh vacancy.

SOFT COAL MINERS PROSPEROUS AGAIN
One Year Of Work Does Wonders
 in Pennsylvania

! Pittsburgh. Pa, March IS (UP)- Prosperity is returning to the bi- luminous coal fields of western 1 Pennsylvania.
 An afternoons automobile drive l through the mining camps surround ! ing Pittsburgh is enough to prove | that the United Mine Workers of America apparently have lost their fight with the soft coal producers of the district, but everyone seems happy again.
 It was two years ago next April l that the officials of the United Mine , Workers of America ordered all miners to quit work in the cOmpeti- tive soft coal fields and thousands left their jobs.
 Today, a year after a United States senate committee visited the coal fields Of western Pennsylvania and found starvation, suffering from : the rule ot the coal and iron police, thouands of idle men and families living in unheated barracks, there is comparative prosperity and happi- ness among the skilled miners and their families.
 Mines which were idle for nearly TWO years have been re-opened and m=n who had not worked nor drawn a pay check for that length Of time are back on their jobs drawing their regular pay.
 That pay is not as much as they drew a few years ago or as much IS they asked for when the strike was called in 1927. But it is enough, according to indications, 10 feed and clothe the families of those miners whose mode Of living is the sim pl"st.
 The temporary barracks. built by the United Mine Workers Of Ameri- ca. which furnished poor homes for the striking miners during the cold snowy weather year ago have been vacated and the coal company houses again have become the homes Of the union mining families, But these miners are no longer unioniZed for they are working for non-union companies as individuals and not as g union body.
 The spirit Of unionism is still strong in the Pittsburgh district and probably always will he. The union has kept faith with it's people. Union men and women may be
New Britain herald., 1929-03-18

working for non-union companies
 but they are loyal to the ideals of unionism.
 The return to work was matter
 of expediency. Men, women and
 children who kept up the fight to
 the point of starvation in the frame barracks convey the idea that the return to work was made under ad- vice of the officialdom of the coal union.
 Naturally the heads of the union made no proclamation to that ef- feet but an observer gathers the idea that the men and women who had endured months of sacrifice quietly have been told that the time had
 come to hunt jobs wherever they
 could be found.
 A coal operator would not be ex- pected to admit publicity that he was delighted to get his old men
 back in the pits. But the coal com
 panies have been overjoyed just the same. The skilled miner, even
 though he has'o out on strike, is
 much easier to handle and can pro- duce more coal for his employer than the more or less unskllled strike breakers. The coal company
 officials said they never found it diff
 ficult to get miners anytime during
 the strike and they refused to ad-
 init strike was in eXiste zee.
 Nevertheless, since the striking min
 CTS have gone back to work more
 mines have been opened and only
 in a few instances has former en-
 ployee, who went out on strike, been
 refused his old position. Operators ONerjoyed With the dawn Of peace in the
 soft coal fields relief committees and organizations have disappeared.
 The coal and iron policeman and his
 twin brother, the strike deputy, also have nearly beco. extinct. Relief committees Of Pittsburgh
 business men and charitable organ iZations which distributed thousands Of dollars worth of food and cloth ing to the miners families last winter have discontinued their work. No longer are thousands of dol lars sent into the district monthly
 by various relief committees of the United Mine Workers Of America and the American Federation Of Labor.
 The coal and iron policeman, not
 as an individual but as an instru-
 ment of the law, was q storm cen-
 ter Of the coal strike discussion.
 He was q creature Of the strike and he vanished with the return of the miners 10 Work.
 At one time the Pittsburgh Coal Company, largest bituminous coal producing company in the world, employed 314 coal and iron police men. That was in the heart of the ! strike. The company now has only 90 such policemen on it's payroll, officials said.
