Miners CIO Aid Bored

HOUSTON, Oct. Is G.N.S0
The CIO reached into John L.
Lewis own union-the United
Mine Workers-and pulled out
$360,000 during the six-month
period between last December /
and June.
MILLION IN STEEL FIGHT
Half Of this was handed to the
CIO by the Mine Workers, key
CIO union. as dues, and half as
loan, a report Of CIO auditors
revealed today. During the same
period, the report showed, the
Mine Workers contributed SPIT,
600 to Labor'S Non-PartiSan
League, an organization which in.
terested itself in the political for
tunes Of CIO candidates in sum
mer primaries.
The Washington times., 1938-10-15

Someone Pulled BOner
THE reasons for this fiaSco are not hard to find.
The "off-season" minimum rate is $3.50. The
"in-season" rate is $3.50. The present time Is
"off-season" and it will be offseason for South
America until January.
But the Government spent $4,000 advertising
the top rate of $3.50 during an "offseason" time!
For what passenger, either Latin-American or
United States citizen, is prepared to travel on
an American boat at top rate out Of season when
he may travel on foreign vessel for $40 less?
There is no question that this line should be
established. There is no question that it should
be operated.
Neither shippers nor passengers are interested
in sentiment when it comes to pocketbook. What
interests them most is how much can they get for
as few dollars and cents possible.
But Bill Must Be Paid
THE kindest thing to do is to believe that some
one bungled the advertising blurbs-at $4,000
taxpayers money!
If one wishes not to be kind, it might be said
that the venture might not have begun on so
wretched a miSfire had the Brazil been kept
tied up. The spirit behind it is understandable.
It is laudable It is a route that Is extremely
desirable
But nix on pulling $40 mistake in merchan-
dising campaigns!
