Union Officials Hold
Congress Responsible
For Mine Disaster

CADIZ Ohio. -(FP)- The explos-
ion Nov. 20 at the helms mine OF the
hio-Pennsylvania Coal Co., In which
81 miners were killed, could have
been prevented II we had adequate
inspection and regulation Of mines,
said District President John Owens
of the United Mine Workers (CIO).
He blamed the explosion on gas and
said it would not have occurred II
there had been sufficient air supply.
The men, trapped 466 feet under
ground, were cut off from escape by
deadly gas and tons of rock, coal and
earth.
UNIV ec.-Treas Thomas Kennedy
asked: How many more miners must
give up their lives before the house
leadership will give them the pro-
lection which the Neely-Keller bill
affords?"

ed by Sen. Frederic Coudert Jr. (R.)
A stay of execution, granted by
Carew, was extended while the union
prepared its appeal to the state court
of appeals. Without such a stay
Hendley would have had to serve an
immediate jail sentence. No court ac-
ton was taken against 20 union teach
ers who refused to testify at closed
hearings before the committee.
Highlight of the first day Of the
committees open hearings on Dec. 2
came when the committee rejected a
petition by William G. Mulligan, at
torney for che union, and escorted him
out of the hearing room. The petition
urged the committee to hear both
sides and asked permission to allow
Mulligan to introduce certain wit
nesses and cross-question them.

of civic organizations have joined the
teachers in their fight against seizure
of the membership lists by the COM

ROosevelt's Good
Intentions Sacrif'd
On Road to War
By SCOTT NEARING

/ The road to hell is supposed to be
paved with good intentions. If it Is,
there must have been a great deal Of
highway construction going on there
in the past few years-and the Wash
ington administration has surely done
its share.
| Here is report of one of the Presi-
dents press conferences. Direct
quotations from these conferences are
not permitted, but the various CORE
spondents agree in stating that there
is to be radical change in federal
spending.
| The President let it be known that
non-military projects are to be elimin-
ated, as far as possible, from the next
| burget. The budget is to be made in
terms of national defense, and this,
| according to the report, means NUM-
tions and not secondary defense items
such as highways, forest conservation,
waterways, and reforestration.
No direct mention was made of re-
lief and the social services generally.
Since the bulk of expenditures for
education and public health are made
not by the federal government but by
the state and cities, the proposed al
teration in the type of budget ex-
penditure will not directly affect these
fields.
Inc interview sounds sinister note
Tor those who had read a little history
1t is not surprising. Far otherwise
But think of the bitter establishment
for those who took Mr.. Roosevelt's
campaign promises seriously, and who
believed in his first and second inau-
gurals. The forgotten man, the plan
to drive the money-changers from the
temple, the control and development
OF natural resources, and above all the
struggle for social security were the
burning issues of those days.
SUCH issues are not laid to one side.
Inc federal government is preparing
Tor wholesale destruction and mass
murder. Before the demands of the
military all other public issues sink
into 1nsignificance, and the people Of
the U. S. find themselves heading
straight into the morass of militarism
the swamp into which the peoples
OF Europe have poured blood and
treasure through the centuries.
President Roosevelt is not to blame
Tor this turn of events. He did not
VIII the war. 1t was unleashed on the
other side OF the Atlantic. To be sure,
during the little world war in Spain
he followed policy that played d.
rectly into the hands of the militar-
lists, and through the whole period
from the invasion of Abyssinia to the
fall of 1899 he supported British
statemen in their anti-Soviet, pro-
Hitler line.
Mr.. Roosevelt's tragic blunder was
that he failed to evaluate correctly the
historic forces with which he and his
have been dealing. He
said that he could save capitalism. He
He said that he could keep the u. s.
,ut OF the present war. He cannot.
Only by measures involving funda-
mental changes in the economic and
'ocial setup could he have insured

support of capitalism could result
'nly in hard times and war.
