Miss Doub's Mystery Bill

You are right Elizabeth for we don't like that
little bill you want the state legislature to pass
Only the other day we found real happiness in
giving you friendly pat on the back.
In fact we were proud of you when in the face
OF a lot OF opposition YOU raised your voice for
the retention Of the whipping post as means of
administering proper punishment TO wife beaters
We were with YOU on that we sill are but when
you. with your very ON h@n r kgite bill that
would muzzle the free press OF -Four state, we are
impelled to chide you gently and to point out one
rather important matter you have overlooked.
Now dear Delegate. although we are supposed
TO be hard boiled and just ruthless in the pur
suit Of news as the motion pictures may have led
you to believe. We will confess that we don't like
the sordid details that and again creep into
divorce cases any better than you do. We regard
them as nasty. and to tell you the truth about ii.
we don't print more of them than we are COM
PEELED to do in the presentation of news. But divorce
cases. like all other things that affect society
news after all and as a daily newspaper serving
the interests Of the Public. cannot ignore them
However, II is not the content Of your bill that
brings this protest from us. II is the fact that it
is attempt to curtail the freedom Of the press.

dominated by dctatorS. We hear 10. here i'll the

stitution called the Bill of Rights. If YOU have for

free speech. Of free assembly and a free press.

making the legislature aware that Allegegany

legislators agreed with YOU. Try again. Elizabeth.

Mine Safety
Bill In

merry Democrat OF the twelfth
Pennsylvania congressional dis
trict
The new measure basically fol-
lows the pattern of the Nicely
Keller bill. which the United Mine
Workers of America sought to
have passed by the last session Of
Congress. The Bill passed the Sen
ate but was strangled in the
House Mining Committee.
However. there are some minor
changes in the Flannery bill which
have been made to remove GER

predecessor. However. the old

prepared to cooperate in passage
OF federal mine inspection bill
at this session.
Union officers are concentrating
on passage OF the Bill by the
House of Representatives. No
companion bill has yet been pre-
sented in the Senate.
Public sentiment for passage Of
the bill has increased by the out

POTPOURRI by vox pop

I have an interesting letter from
Charles Buck" Jones. He writes
in part. 4 suggest that the addi-
ton TO Memorial Hospital be called
'Iryine's Folly TO record the fact
that the present Mayor led a fight
against making the addition with
a PWA grant couple OF years
ago. Had il been done the tax
payers would have been saved
nearly half the money they are
now being asked TO put up"
I further propose, writes Buck
that the new addition be used
TO treat people who are light on
good sense and facts and heavy
on ignorant obstinacy."
And who would you be mean
ing Mr.. Jones?
Prejudice
The Memorial Hospital question
clearly shows the result of preju-
dice or ignorance or both. In Au-
gust. 1888. Cumberland building
trades workers needed jobs. The
City Council had proposed PWA
project for hospital additions,
But PWA regulations required
payment of prevailing wage rates,
This would have been very bad for
the Cumberland Contracting Com
rany and others OF the highly
privileged industry which is so
solicitously cared for by the City
Council.
So Mayor Irvine. then Commits
siOner. l0oscd a blast Of charges
al PWA. He was answered by n
PWA official. As usual Irvine
could not back his wild and un.
founded charges. But ignorance
carried the day and the project
was refused. Now We see the re-
suits proving costly to local tax
payers.
