Rich Iron Ore Deposit
Is Found in Indiu

Cliffs of almost pure iron ore
have been found in Mandi state,
not from from Kangra, India, it is
reported from the village of Dhar-
mani. The area covers square
miles.
Although no survey has yet been
made experts think the ore must
amount to millions of tons. The
local inhabitants are refining the
ore at the sacrifice of 26 trees to get
! ton of crude iron.
1t is stated that the ore is of the
same nature as that found in the
best mines of Sweden. 1t is the hope
in Kangra that these ores will yield

railroads 50 survive if they con-
tinue TO pay starvation wages TO
their employees.
Just check up on the wages
paid 10 the $4,000 non-operat-

You will find out the railroad

If these low railroad wages
continue railroad men will find
employment in other industries.
This will create a shortage in
skilled railroad help which will
jeopardize our national defense

Railroads claim they receive

Tense of unionism is hearty and
profound in this country.
The necessity TO disperse in
dustries away from few CEN
tiers and to reintegrate the whole
into a system whereby if one
factory is knocked out the same
work continues with an enlarged
load elsewhere, created immense
problems of moving, feeding and
housing the workers.
Hotels had 10 be built for the
workers, communal feeding had

streaming into industry first

agement and workers. especially

it was not believed women could
operate huge mechanical lathcS.
However. apprehension con-
corning the women were con-

have been unsatisfactory
solved. On the other hand,
there have been immense gains
for labor. for instance, among
the merchant sailors, who get
an annual wage, regular leaves
and free transportation 10 their
families.
THE WILLINGNESS Of work
Il ers to make sacrifices seems
TO warrant putting problems up
to them. For instance, the
miners were asked TO decide
whether they would be willing
TO allow the use Of refrigerated
ships, carrying food from the
United States. for transporting
troops 10 the Middle East, a use
which would mean a reduction
of already inadequate rations.
Amidst cheers they voted
unanimously 10 reduce the ra-
tioDs, which would be especially
hard on miners whose work
often makes them lose three TO
seven pounds a day in the pits.
Such action amounts 10 volun-
tary contributions from the
workers for the. comfort Of the
armed forces.
In Newcastle. long one of the
poorest parts Of the country,
miners contributed S150000 in
individual gifts.
Nowhere will a speech against
the FascistS get such cheers as
in the working-class districts
where, however, the cheers are
meant also TO mean that no
faScism shall exist in England
either during or as a result of
this war.
