I Remember Richard E.. CrOskey
 Local 4O4
 Cooks & Walters Union
NONE ON THE HOUSE

Arriving at RivertOn safely | breathed sigh of relief and made ''never again'' resolution. It was rough and ready in this small town. Whatever amount of money one put on the bar for a drink was put in the cash register, with no change given. Any loafer in the saloon was invited to drink.
 CROSKEY IS SILENCED
 Riverton, Colo., was billed for my ''Wet'' address and we were al- ready, when the day before the time for the meeting, the Governor of Wyoming issued proclamation forbidding all meetings of any kind because of the epedemic of ''fiu" that was then raging. No lettering of any kind was allowed. You were allowed to visit store, saloon or any of those places but had to make your purchase and get out. Not be- ing able to make any meetings I returned to headquarters in Chey- enne.
 ''THROW IT IN THE FURNACE!''
 Visiting the headquarters of the "Wets" I was much amused at what they thought was splendid pamphlet they had printed for distribution, was entitled, Don't Tinker With The Constitution They asked my opinion, and I told them to consign it to the furnace. "Why?" they asked. That was easy to answer as there were al- ready some three or more other con- stitutiona1 amendments on the ballot put there by different interests and they were telling these interests not to tinker with the constitution, tell ing them, in fact, the propositions they were interested in should be de feated. However I was overruled and they sent out the pamphlets. l was told 1t lost them several thousand votes. Naturally it was resented. But I have seen several such "bonehead' things done by people who are credited with knowing better, so why worry. None of us are infallible and mistakes will be made as long as the world lasts.
 WHAT WE GOT
 We lost the election, but I had visited several coal camps and made addresses before the ban was on and my friend Harry Fox wrote me that they all voted wet, whether be- cause of any forensic ability I might have had, or just naturally, I do not know. The big war was still going strongly and all we The People-gOt out of it was Prohibition.

As 1 See It, by Joe Rourke
(By Baer)

I In the 1882 rate increase case. the Superior Court ruled the rate in. crease was unreasonable. Then the Supreme Court reversed the lower courts decision and found that the rate increase was reasonable. The result was the City of New Haven spent over $16,OOO in losing this case and the New Haven Water Company spent $l38, 900 in coun- sel fees to win the case.
 The Water Company then charged the consumers of water the $l38,- 900 that they spent to win the case.
 COMMON SENSE
 It is my opinion that the new Public Utilities Commission is a liberal Com mission and that if we want to avoid long legal court fight we will place the responsibility on the New Haven Water Company of proving to the new Commission that the 193o rate in crease reasonable. If the new Com mission rules it was unreasonable then the monies will be returned to our people.
 I will be interested in hearing the opinion of others on this issue.
The union times., 1941-08-16
WOULD AVOID COURTS

It is my humble opinion that we should steer clear of the courts. Our experience with the last rate increase is proof enough for me.
The union times., 1941-08-16

lels similar case known as Morgan vs. the United States Supreme Court" involving the legality of the Secretary of Agriculture having the power to set maximum rates to be charged by market agencies for their services.
 To be brief, a very careful study of this decision handed down by MT. Justice Frankfurter in May, 1941, and of previous decisions of the Supreme Court and the District Court that rendered decisions in this case, prove that there is strong possibility that although the courts may rule that the rate increase was handled in an illegal manner by the former Public Utilities Commission, it is also pos sible that the impounded funds the Water Company is holding may not be returned to the water consumers
 It is entirely possible that the courts may rule that the monies held will be irnpounded until such time as the Public Utilities Commission decides whether or not the rate increase was just ard reasonable.

(Continued from Page D error or nOt-this question will be decided finally by our courts.
 The City of New Haven is handi- capped to begin with, because if this is the City's ace i'm the hole, why didn't the City take this matter into court during September, 1889, when the rate increase was first an- nounced? t
 MONEY BACK?
 However, let us say that the new Commission will agree that the rate increase was put into effect in an illegal manner. Does this mean that the monies impounded by the New Haven Water Company will be re- turned to the people?
 OF COURSE NOT.
 The New Haven Water Company will take the matter into the Superior Court. If the Superior Court rules that the rate increase was brought about in an illegal manner, does their decision mean that the people will have their monies refunded?
 OF COURSE NOT.
 The Water Company will then ap- peal to the Supreme Court of Errors of our State as they did in the 1932 rate increase of approximately 45%.
 It is the opinion of the Corpora ton Counsel that there might be Federal jurisdiction involved. If so, and I doubt it, does favorable decision by our highest Federal tribunal mean that the monies will be refunded to our people?
 OF COURSE NOT.

Hard Coal Producers
Raise Prices DESPITE
Henderson's S Order
15-Cent Advance at
Mines Announced in
Defiance of OfficiuI
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 15.-In
defiance of a price-freezing order by
Leon Henderson, Federal price ad-
ministrator, Pennsylvania anthracite
producers today boosted prices Is
cents a ton at the mine.
The eight major hard coal pro-
ducers notified Mr.. Henderson last
Friday that they could not accede
to his order fixing prices at the Au-
gust Is level. They said the price
increase was necessary to meet wage
advances granted miners in the
present union-management con-
tract.
Mr.. Henderson, in his order, said
he was rejecting the 15-cent-a-ton
increase because the large pro-
ducers had failed to supply re-
quested information that would
show whether an increase was
necessary.
!. His ceiling fixed this price sched-
'ule: Broken, egg, stove and chest
nut, $3.50; pea. $50; buckwheat,
No. l, s3.75; rice, $3.50, and barley,
S215. All are fob. at the mine per
net ton $4,000 pounds.
Anthracite is primarily used for
domestic purposes.
The action of the hard coal COM
panies brought no immediate reac-
ton today from Mr.. Henderson in
Washington. However, it was indi-
Gated that a statement might be
forthcoming later in the day.
Officials of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration declined to speculate on
what retaliatory action the Govern
ment might take against the recalci-
trant producers.
1t was recalled, however, that in
the case of a previous violation of
price edict by major furniture manu-
facturers Federal Trade Commits
sion investigation was launched into
the price and cost structure of the
furniture industry at Mr.. Hender-
sons instigation.

Hard Coal Miners Spurn
Third Order to End Strike

HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. Is (P.-
For the third time more than 10000
Pennsylvania hard coal miners dis
regarded orders from their union
leaders today and continued a work
stoppage that has closed IA collieries.
An attempt to reopen two of the
operations this morning collapsed
after motorcade Of insurgent mem
bers of the c. l. o. United Mine
Workers of America roared up to
the mine and gathered about en-
frances.
At neither place was there suf-
ficient workers on hand to resume
operations. A third mine, the
Hazleton Shaft Colliery of the Le-
high Valley Coal Co., one of the
largest in the Hazleton district, also
was scheduled to reopen but re-
mained closed.
The motorcade, from the Panther
Greek Valley where the protest
originated, was delayed for half an
hour by a barricade of logs across
highway on the outskirts of Halle
ton. State police said the logs ap-
parently were placed there by miners
wanting to return to work.
At another point, the troopers
reported. one of the insurgents cars
was overturned but no one was
injured
Garrett Miller, leader of the pro-
testing group, organized the motor
cade after Hugh V. Brown, District
7 president, broadcast an order to
the 10000 miners to return to their
jobs this morning.
This is the final order" he de-
clared.
Two similar orders from Mr..
Brown have been disregarded bv
the insurgent group since the walk
out began last Tuesday.
A group Of insurgent miners voted
yesterday at mass meeting at near
by McAdoo to continue the walk
out after Mr.. Miller urged them
to stick by your guns"
