Arbitrators Vote, 2-1,
For Union Shop in
Captive Coal Mines
FoirIess Dlssents, but
Says U. S. Steel Will
Sign Agreement

Climaxing 40-year-old fight, the
United Mine Workers Of the Con-
gress Of Industrial Organizations to-
day held a 2-to-l arbitration board
decision giving them a union shop
ir captive mines owned by the Ma
tion's major steel producers.
The decision tavor1ng the militant
miners headed by John L. Lewis,
who struck three times within two
months over the issue despite per-
sonal appeals by President Roosevelt,
was announced in New York last
night by DR.. John R. Steelman, the
chairman.
Mr.. Lewis agreed with DR.. Steel
men in the majority opinion, but
Benjamin F. Fairless, president OF
the United States Steel Corp. and
representative of the producers on
the arbitration board, dissented and
returned a minority opinion.
About the same time the arbitra-
ton board was making known its
decision, Philip Murray, president,
and Thomas Kennedy, secretary of
the c. 1. O., announced their refusal
to withdraw their designations from
the Defense Mediation Board.
Eight Companies Must Sign.
Both c. l. o. officials resigned
when the mediation board voted to
2 on November 10 against recon-
mending a union shop in the cap
tive mines. Two weeks later the
White House disclosed that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had written them
declining to accept the designations.
In informing the President OF
their refusal to withdraw their
designations, Mr.. Murray and Mr..
Kennedy also told the Chief Execu-
| tive that labor would take no part
in any mediation machinery which
might be established by ''repressive
anti-labor" legislation.
As result of the arbitration
boards award, eight steel COM
panies will be compelled to sign
the Appalachian wage agreement
which is in effect between the
union and all but a negligible
portion of the country's coal pro-
ducers. The steel companies had
agreed to abide by the decision of
the board appointed by the Presi-
dent after the recent strike.
Approximately $1,000 miners will
be affected by the decision.
Union Shop Only Issue.
Only the issue of the union shop
was involved in this dispute. The
unions definition of the union shop
describes it as the type in which
workman Immediately upon going
to work for company automatical-
ly becomes a member of the union.
Companies involved were: United
States Steel Corp. Bethlehem Steel
Corp, Republic Steel Corp, Wood
ward Iron Co., National Steel Corp,
youngstown Sheet e. Tube Co.,
Crucible Steel Co. and the Wheel
ing Steel Corp.

Up the stairs. all three flights of
them, went Miss Hildegarde Withers.
She opened the door of the top floor
apartment and entered. Instantly the
pleasant smile with which she had
been intending to greet her future
home was erased by a quick gasp. She
walked slowly forward gingerly like a
cat on a sticky floor.
It was the walls. On the creamy
white of the smooth surface someone
had painted a great blue eye, which
wept red tears on the Dashboard. Be

maids tail instead of roots, and across
one branch, Imply twisted like piece

object which was-which must be-a

Miss Withers drew back and shifted.
This was not even good Surealist art.
Then she realized that she was not
alone. There was man standing be-
side her. breathing rather warmly on
the back of her neck. He wore streaked
white overalls and carried a pail of
paint. His face, too, was well smeared.
Now, tell me honestly what you
think" he begged, waving at the wall
Have I got something there, or not?"

away little, not sure whether laugh
or a scream was indicated. The man

about him was linseed oil, not alcohol.

stopped suddenly. I'D like to paint you.
I'd like to do you all pale blue, with
your hair a rich acknowledgement" His
smile faded. and the dreamy, puffy
eyes widened. 1T won't hurt!'
Mr.. Leach!" shrieked Miss Withers.
There was the pounding of footsteps
on the stair. The painter. ignoring the
the door, waiting. An expression of in
nocent enjoyment marked his face,
Look out!S Miss withers cried

ing into the room. His eyes took in
the scene. his brain reacted. but his
legs of their own volition took him
And by that time the pail of paint
was over him. He lurched back, reel

turned. stumbled and half fell down
the stair.
The painter turned back toward Miss
Withers but that lady had seized her
opportunity and was now disappearing
INTO tne bathroom. Inc LOCK cllcheu
behind her.
Come on out, ladyl" howled the
painter. The paint won't hurt you. II
you don't like it you can wash it off!
He pounded on the door, kept on
pounding until Leach came back UP
the stairs with two other painters and
the nearest patrolman. Miss Withers
even then did not unlock the door, not
until the painter had been overpowered
and pinned to the paint covered floor
An ambulance arrived. and the doctor

POPULAR MIsNoMERS

Many familiar articles bear names
which are misleading. although the mis-
nomers are generally of little practical inn
portance A peculiar instance of this is seen
in the popular name of the Jerusalem arti-
choke, which is in no way connected with
the famed city of the Holy Land.
In this case the word Jerusalem" is a
corruption of the Italian "girasole," (mean-
ing turning to the SUM-, from the habit of
the plant, which is of the same genus as the
sunflower
The sunflower, by the way, has name
which is doubly appropriate, because it not
only inclines to turn toward the sun, but its
flower also has some resemblance to the
sun itself.
Both the sunflower and Jerusalem ar
tichoke are Indigenous to America, but
there is also a globe artiehoke, which is
probably a native of Asia.
Speaking of misnomers, the one most
frequently heard is Irish potato" This
valuable tuber was discovered in South
America, whence it was introduced into
Europe, first as curiosity. 1t later became
the most important item of food for tha
Irish people during time of famine, and
the name Irish" has been applied to it ever
since

TWo-JoB MEN

Citizens still struggling to make liv-
ing in non-defense pursuits have run into
new obstacle recently, and it has nothing to
do with the prospect that the government
will turn their iee-cube trays into airplane
parts.
The complaint, strange to hear after
SO many years when unemployment was the.
nations greatest problem, is that tooAnaany
men are holding down two jobs at the same
time. y
They complain that it works this way:
@ An employe of the government, or of
one of the contractors working on govern
ment projects, decides to take on another
Job and add few figures to the bank bal
ance.
Since the already employed man has
job lucrative enough to support his family
and is seeking only to add to his present
earnings he is in a position to offer his SER
vices at a comparatively low rate.
The man who is unemployed, or is in
line where he completes with the two-job
man, can't cut his pay demands or his rates
without going below what will constitute
living wage.
Although the urge to make as much
money as possible is asnatural one, the sys-
tenn, if carried far enough, would work
hardship on most Of those not employed In
defense, and does work 6 hardship on many
of them now.
Aside from the fact that he is pushing
someone else out of job, it is only far TO
suppose that each of the two-job mans
employers are getting little less for their
money than if he had only one. After all,
the argument that won employers to the
eight-hour day was that men with greater
amount of leisure would produce more dur
ing the time when they were working.
AS matter of fact, tests in England
for the purpose of speeding up industry, re-
vealed point around the f0-hour mark in
a days work when an employees product
ivity dropped below that of the eight-hour
day. If that is the case, 16-hour day would
not show very high score in efficiency.
Neither the government nor the con-
tractors have any rules on the subject, but
at least some of the complaints against the
two-jobbers are justified.

THE USE OF WORDS

How often do we find difficulty in
thinking of just the right word to express
a certain idea? Even the best writers must
often stop to weigh their words in order to
hit upon the most appropriate one, while
few speakers can observe all the niceties of
expression without writing out their speech
Is and memorizing them beforehand.
This is not due to any lack of words in
the English language. however. Possibly it
may be result of our having too many to
choose from The latest unabridged die
tionaries contain more than 100000 words,
and the list is increasing constantly.
Noah wehster's first dictionary. pub
ished in 1923. contained Only about 10000
words: the edition of 1864 included ill.,
600. and that Of 1890 about $4,000. as
compared with the 100000 recognized
words today.
Yet President Wilson. who was one Of
the foremost masters of English. in Is pub
lic addresses used total of only 6.221
different words.
