title effort to learn the facts be
fore villifying a man. Apparently
though. the Cumberland Times
editorial writer. was carried away
with the belief that II is still open
aason to libel MIR Lewis.
Miners Angry
But. the Cumberland Evening
Times had not reckOncd on the
United Mine Workers Of the
Georges Greek. On Saturday
morning an angry delegation
appeared at the District Office
of the United Mine Workers Of
America in Cumberland. They
were made up Of local union
presidents and local union OIL
GERS.
These men knew. along with
every one else in the coal min
ing section except the Times
editorial writer. that John l..
Lewis had offered in vain to
keep the men working after
April lst with any contract
changes made retroactive TO
that date.
They knew that 1t was the coal
operators who had rejected Lewis
proposals.
They knew that the criticism and
charges of disloyalty TO the United
States properly rested upon the
coal operators and not OH John L,
Lewis.
They knew that for yeas after
year the Cumberland Evening
Times has baitcd labor during
labor disputes.
Delegation
And the mine workers wanted
something done about the ed!-
torials on John L. Lewis. At first
the entire group wished to visit
the Times editorial Office. but later
IL was agreed to have Cobey
Snyder. president of the Eckhart
local union United Mine Workers
OF America and James Blackwell,
editor VOICE OF LABOR. make
the visit and report back.
The interview was both instruc-
tive and productive. 1t developed
the fact that the editorial writer
was completely ignorant Of the
proceedings of the negotiations
between the United Mine Workers
and the coal operators in New
York City. 1t showed with what
complete unconcern and indiifer-
ence newspaper editor can try
and libel a labor leader. 1t showed
that when the man wrote public
opinion would be less critical
than it is now" that the public
opinion was in reality a private
opinion of a grossly uniformed
newspaper man!
The interview also led to tho
publication of an editorial titled
we Beg Pardon. Mr.. Lewis" in
the next issue of the Cumberland
Evening Times!

 Here is one of the epic stories of the year. Adolf Hitler smashed to the channel ports. and then across that short stretch of water he sent his bomberS at England.

The top news story of l94O m my rating was made in America -.the presidential campaign.
 No other event of the year ex- cited the American people as did that story. In the rest of the world, it competed successfully for atten- ticn with other exciting happen ines.
 1t began with the nomination ol Wendell Willkie by the Republi- cans. which was a thunderbot, and it ended in roaring climax with the reelection of President Fanklin Delano Roosevelt.
 There were two simple reasons for the importance of this story: To the United States it meant q third term President for the first time in history; to the world, con- tinuance of the Roosevelt poli- cies regarding the European war, which may settle the destinies of most of the worlds peoples.
 For the majority of l940s great est news stories, one must LOOK across the seas where wars pano- ply spread to the fullest in the horror of death, destruction and suffering. -.,...
 Here they are as l see them, the ten biggest news stories cf 1940. .o .sa es 41
 l.-ROOsevelt wins Again
 Probably no American politlcal issue has been more widely de- bated than that of a third presi- llential term. President Roosevelt shattered the tradition in his vic- tory over Wendell L. Willkle, who thoroughly broke tradition himself in his ball-of-fire cam paign for the Republican presi- dential nomination and his effort to win election.

 Unhappy" Rumania was the way the Balkan nation was de- scribed by many writers Its troll bles of the year made top news. Russia grabbed off Bessarabia; Hungary took back portion Of Pennsylvania; Bulgaria got a piece at the pie counter. An earthquake devastated; King Carol abdicated in a hurry; then the passions of Iron Guardists broke out in mass executions and the Germans moved in.
 8. Flight from Dunkerque
 A saga of extraordinary human interest was this flight of the British from continental Europe with the bloody sands of Bunker que the final stepping-off place. some 330000 British were carried to safety under the blasting guns of the Germans.
 O. Russia Adds Territory
 Russia conquered Finland took some choice portions of her ter ritory; absorbed the republics of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. and then took back Bessarabia from Rumania. An absorbing news story. these moves of the Russian giant. 10. Fifth Column in Norway
 Outstanding by any rating, was the exposure of how fifth column activities helped Germany COZ quer. It was first disclosed in the conquest of Norway.
