Refusing to lead the Go fight

ing the way for a battle between
the two unions over the orgar1-

stood TO have been largely re-
sponsible for holding In battle
between the Go and the AFLa
most powerful union. ~
In a statement announcing his
resignation Porter said that the
lCIO drive would be destructive to
labor unity, injurious to public
welfare and would hinder the ma
tional defense program. -
Calls Drive Unsound
Following is Porter's statement:
81 believe this drive II an un-
sound policy at this time, de-
spite certain maIpractices of the
ALL Teamsters' Union. Any
differences In the ranks of labor
can be settled without impeding
national unity after the secur-
ity of our nation Is guaranteed.
"My resignation II not tho,

denial Of the basic policies Of
the Go.
II am convinced the UCWOO
should concentrate on organic

ing field, particularly the build
ing of prefabricated homes.
] Will Hinder Defense
"The major probiem to Amer :
leans Is the defeat Of Hitler and
the acceleration of the defense
program. The current UCWOC
drive to organize truck drivers
will disrupt our national defense
program. Therefore, / cannot
have any part In an impractical
enterprise which will harm our
country In Its national cmer-.

Reading Loses
Famous Smile
As Trial Goes On
He Sits These Days a
a Small, Solemn
Man Lost in Crowd
By HERBERT BREAN

The important headline-making
news Of the current grand jury
trial is probably yet to come, but
already one piece Of news has de-
veloped out Of the trial of former
Mayor Richard w. Reading and So
others on gambling graft charges.
Reading, who smiled his way
into the job of city clerk and then
into the job of mayor, and who
smiled all during his tenure of
office and even after he was in
dicted. has lost that famous smile.
He sits these days a small, SOL
emn man lost among the host of
defendants. many of whom are
husky policemen he once ruled as
mayor and who now dominate him
by their stature.

tumbled into her and pulled clear
of the wreck. BY morning they
found the bark was a total wreck
and learned that in the confusion
of abandoning her they had not
provisioned the boat.
"What'll we do?" Some of the
crew got panicky at being in
open sea with no food or water.
There was nothing in sight but
the half tide reef with the shat
tered hulk on it.
There are some islands near"
said Goodings. Wen try for
Pozoat, that's the largest in these
waters"
After several hours pulling
they reached the island. But
the beach, as they neared it,
proved to be crowded with ma
tives, all brandishing spears.
Back water" ordered the
mate. "Them's headhunters."
But it was too late, the natives
put off in fifteen log canoes and
before the exhausted crew could
pull away they were surrounded.
A long canoe charged along
side and half a dozen natives
jumped into the already over
loaded boat.

while the boss wasn't looking.
They sent the stuff to be as

blacksmith named Frank LaRoee
actually stubbed his toe against a
slab of almost pure silver lie
also sent a sample to be tested.
Several months afterwards

place. which he named Cobalt,
was a wonder
Even then Ontario did not
wake up. Only few itinerant
prospectors strolled in a year
later, and began to pick up for
tunes scattered under their feet.
LaRose, the blacksmith, sold a
half interest in his mine for
$4,000. Later he received S27 900
for the other half Since then
millions of dollars worth of sill
yer has been taken from the
mine.
The riches of Cobalt were so
little appreciated that one man
tried to sell his claim for $3.50
He managed to scrape together
$500. which he spent in develop
ing his mine, which yielded ST.
100000. Another valued his claim
at 100000. No one would pay
so "preposterous" a price, so he
hired six laborers and in three
months took out ore which Melted
100000.
Recently Americans rushed up
there with cash and snapped up a
considerable part of Cobalt at
ridiculous prices, while London
investors were leisurely CORE
spending about options. Now the
Americans are selling some of the
properties back to the Canadians
at a profit.
Cobalt's production of silver
runs into millions today, 35 mines
have become producers, and $780,
100000 has been invested in
them.

IN northern Ontario, a Small
unattractive lake was sold re-
Gently by the Canadian Gov
eminent. to a syndicate for
81 900 n spot cash. This is the
highest quotation on lakes ever
recorded Yet the seller feels 1t
drove a poor bargain, while the
BUYERS would be glad to give the
lake to anyone who would take
it away.
The new owners do not care
for 2OO-acre Cobalt lake itself,
but only for what they think Is
under it. 1t is shaped like
stocking. Across the toe runs a
government operated railroad,
the building of which led to the
discovery of silver. Along the
shin of the stocking lies the town
of Cobalt. At the heel is the
famous Nipissing Mine, the most
wonderful silver mine ever
known. while at several points
around the lake are other mar
velously rich mines.
According to law, these mine
owners may not follow the veins
under the water. 1t was the right
to work these subaqueous veins,
included in the title to the lake,
that made it so valuable. The
payment of so large a price ap-
pears justified because in opera
lions scarcely begun, some small
shipments of ore taken out in the
course of development have
Welded 5000 ounces of silver to
the ton.
As the owners of the million
dollar lake aren't permitted to
drain the water out of the way
the silver will be mined by tun-
nels. The town of Cobalt relies
on the 100000 lake to Stake
its thirst, for there is not a saloon
in town.
In many respects Cobalt is the
strangest mining town on earth.
Biologists can prove that silver
has no business there, but there
are places in the woods where
veins a foot wide, carrying 10
per cent silver are exposed on
the surface. Public roads cross
such veins, and any passerby
may even gouge out a chunk If
the Waterman isn't around. These
properties are tied up while rival
claimants waste money in htiga-
ton instead of compromising and
making 1t in mining.

'TatIi't proper TO have them

So I told Mike and he whipped
up pants for 'em out of old
dungarees. He was a caution
and he cut the bottoms of those
pants - short as they were - to
look like lace and those gals
looked more indecent than before.
I didn't like 1t much. Our next
stop was Yokohama and it was

minutes they were stark naked
