MINERS FORM COOPERATIVE
TO PRODUCE COAL

nThe cooperative way is the bestn, is the claim
a group Of Pennsylvania miners maling. Last
June when the Hanna Company closed down the old
Iytle Col1iery Mnersvil1e the company claimed
that increasing expenses driving them to the
wall. Three months ago the miners formed coopera-
ever since. Every month it has met payroll Of
$50, 900. Operating five days week it has produced
5000 tons of anthracite during that period.
For mary years coal mines have been closing
steadily in the Pennsylvania fields. Empty towns
mark their 81 tes; relief rolls have claimed many
their former workers. Mnersville would have been
"ghost town" too if the cooperative hadn't the
day.
Soon after mining operations closed down last
June Of the local pastors, the Rev. Frederick
Trafford, rector of St. Pauls Episcopal Church in
Mnersville suggested the formation Of cooper
to take the mine.
The whole town enthusiastically agreed. The mi
said they would donate their labor for two
weeks and sell the coal they prodr ed in tn at period
to obtain capital. lining supply companies agreed
to advance credit and the left all their
mules and equipment at the mine.
The superintendent and paymaster agreed to stay
and arrangements made to market tn e coal in
New York and Boston.
With the minister, the superintendent, the pay
master, local merchant, and six miners elected di-
rectors, the "Primrose Coal Company" cooperative
leased the mine and gned contract wi the Uni
ted Line Workers of America.
Union scale wages paid the ITS miners at the
rate of day's pay in stock and four days in
cash. Today, the thriving coop claims the stock
certificates are its only outstanding Obligation.
With 8, ,OoO, 900 tons of coal on its property and
with orders pouring in da ly the nnersvile miners
are fast proving that the cooperative way is the
best.

I have spoken before Of his two year record
the Town Council. That distinguis shed by his
lty detail, by his probing for per-
tinent facts, by his grasp of the problems of the
commuli y a whole, by his diligence to see that
things got done, BY his determination that all sides
of issue got fair hearings.
His activity Greenbe1t Player has been out
standing. Always nainstay OF the group, he has
given good accounts of himself Treasurer, Scene
Designer, Stage Manager, Director and as energetic
1aborer in general-and to all hours of the night.
He has also been one of the most active, and best
fighting, members of the Athletic Club. And the
C. 0. C. rightly felt itself lucky when it got the
services which the Hatch Act prevented him from
tinuing to give the Town Council.
His chair1nanship of the special Citizens Associa

itself enough to win him lasting gratitude.

Two-Thirds of Sets Can
Bring In Foreign
Stations

Berlin, Aug. 31.-(UP)-The num-
Der Of radio sets In Germany-ex-
GLIDING the former Austria and
Sudetenland-have increased from
4,427 900 in 1888, when Hitler first
came to power, to 100000 today.
Approximately 100000 of these
sets are capable of receiving for
eign stations. Although not all Of
them are tuned in to foreign news
broadcasts nightly, 1t is known that
millions of German radio-owners--
exactly how many 1t is impossible
to say-deliberately listen to "the
other side of the story" every night

and other nom German stations.
Before signing of the German
Soviet 1lcn-aggression pact 1t was
rather dangerous to tune In on
Moscow. A few years ago four per-
sons were sentenced to long prison
terms for listening to and dis
cussing the Moscow radio news.
Then charge under. which they
were sentenced was preparation Of

people, especially for the German
people.
The success Of the campaign "a
radio in every household" is best
shown by the vast increase of radio
owners.
This has mainly been achieved
by propaganda but also by the pro-
duction Of low priced peoples SETS"
The price Of the peoples receiver"
is $14. 1t is one-tube receiver and
is only good for the reception of one
or two stations. This, naturally is
quite enough from the Nazi point
of view. The main thing is that the
Germans can hear Adolf Hitler and
other Nazi speeches.
Germans do not need TO listen to
London, Paris or other foreign sta
tons, the propaganda officials feel.
However, some Germans seem to be
Of different opinion.

pies receiver" 1t is possible to pur-

extends the radius to some foreign
stations.
1t Is admitted, however, that the
majority of German radio listeners
prefer sets with which they can
pick up any European station. Such

The German press says that the
reason Is not so much the wish to
listen to foreign stations but the
desire for high musical quality.

out of the living rock.
Here, like Ludwig, Hitler can look
out at the mountains and brood and
dream. Like him. he is mad about
Wagner. Those operas about the
savage and bloody Teutonic legends,
the often gloomy Gothic music with
its brassy fanfares, soothe Hitler.
The suave melodies OF Italian music
are not for him. He does not eat
meat, but he likes, his music raw.
And when the wants to rest, it IS
easier to listen to music than to
read.
CAN BE KEPT
IN IGNORANCE
Hitler has never been much of a
reader. His education Is imperfect.
A male coterie has it in its hands
to keep Hitler in complete Ignorance
of what the outside world Is think
ing and saying about him and his
policies. The men closest to him
every day are Propaganda Monster
Goebbels, Foreign Minister Won Rib
bentrop and tn sinister, blinking
Sinking Himmler, head Of the
dreaded secret police. These men are
credited with being those who most
ardently desire an aggressive policy
in European affairs, even at the cost
of war.
If they choose, they can give Hit
Ter only biased information. They
control the press and the radio. Hit
Ter understands only German. SO
he is intellectually gagged and
blindfolded.
