THE HOME FRONT


Pennsylvania Anthrcite miners
100000 strong recently laid plans
to see production of the black min
eral, known commonly as hard coal,
on which this winter will depend
for heating many army camps,
thousands of war plants and mil
lions of homes in this area
With submarines in the Atlantic
playing havoc with tankers, heat
ihg oil must be spread thin this
winter. In many homes, where con-
version is possible, CRATES are
being re-installed in furnaces and
hard coal will replace oil as the
source of heat.
many new war plants, many Army
cantonments in Northeastern United
States and a portion of production
will go to Canada, which, because
of the shipping shortage, now looks
to us for coal formerly received
from Wales.
Simplest way to get increased
prouction is to put more men to
work. The simplest way is not pos
sible in the case of Anthracite. Many
of it's mines abandoned in recent
years because of their high cost
operations are now filled with water
that might require as much as year
to remove.
At the same time, many Anthra
cite miners have gone to war or to
larger cities where they are working
in war plants. Actually, the Anthra-
cite industry is threatened, at least
in the upper fields, with shortage
of trained miners.
The solution may lie in the
pledge of all concerned--labor and
management--to dig more coal with
he men and the facilities available
at this time.
This plan of about production to
aid the war effort is now in effect in
more than 1000 war plants.
1t is known as the War Produc-
ton Drive plan and every employee
and employer pledges himself to
work little harder and to work
more intelligently. The War Produc
lion Drive places a premium on in
felligence in production. Miners,
who figure out how they may dig
three tons today where only two
we're Forthcoming yesterday, will be
honore, as they should be, for con-
tributing to victory.
After all, this is war of re-
sources as we'll as a war of survival
Coal buried in the ground is a COM
'ort to the enemy and chilled sol
Tiers and war workers do not as
,ist the war effort.
Speakers listed for the meetings
aunching the drive in Scranton,
Wilks-Barre, Hazelton, and Potts
yille include Alex G.. Nordholm, of
he WPB's War Production Drive
headquarters in Washington; Penn
;ylvania Secretary of Mines, Rich
,rd Maize; Martin F. Brennan, dis
trict president of the United Mine
Workers of American union, F. w.
Earnest, Jr, representing the COM
panies, and Brig. Gen. Brice P. Dis
que, assistant director in charge of
the Office of the Coordinator of
Solid Fuels, from Washington.
This is the first time an entire
industry has embraced the War
Production Drive. This is made pos
sible by the industry's completeness
all the true Anthracite in the land is
to be found in the eight north
eastern counties Of Pennsylvania.

PRICE ADMINISTRATION

Registration centers in the coun-
ties have been set up in the most
convenient places, and stated by
trained workers. Registration of
landlords began on July Is, and will
continue through August Is, 1912.
The number of registrations re-
ported from the various county Reg
istration Centers is not so large as
was expected. Many means of bring
ing to the attention of the public,
by radio, and handbills distributed
at banks, postoffices, ETC., were used,
but still landlords have not taken
advantage of the services offered
them in the Registration Centers.
There remains only from now un-
til August Is for all landlords to
register Immediately.
The Maximum Rent Regulation
has been issued to stabilize rents
at the level of April 1, 1912. The
Regulation calls for freezing OF
automatic reduction of housing
rents to what they were on April l
1941. Generally, if tenant lives in
a dwelling unit that was rented by
him or any other tenant on April 1,
1941, he should pay the April 1,
1941 rent for that dwelling unit. A
tenant does not have to get approx
al from the Rent Director or any
body else. He simply reduces his
own rent to the April 1, 1941 rent
If he does not know what the rent
was on the date, he will be able to
find out from the registration state
ment he will receive from the Area
Rent Office.
This general rule of establishing
the legal rent at the April /, 1941
rent applies to all the dwelling
places in this Area, unless the
dwelling unit in which tenant lives
was not rented on April 1, 1941, has
been substantially altered since
that date, was newly built and oc-
cupied since that date, or is owned
by the Federal government or a
state of municipal government. In
any event tenant will be able to
find out the legal rent by consult
ing the Registration statement.
After the landlord registers, in
triplicate, the registration blank is
classified in this Office, copy is
sent to the landlord, and a copy is
also sent to the tenant for verfica-
tion of fact. Landlords should also
keep in mind that tenants are not
to be evicted except for non-payment
Of legal rent, except through the
local courts and the Regulation OF
the Office Of Price Administration.
No rents may be changed without
the approval of the Area Rent Dir
ector, It is imperative, therefore
that landlords first register theil
properties in compliance with the
law.
There are penalties for violating
Che Federal Rent Regulation. Land
lords can be Obliged to pay the ten
ant triple damages on illegal rent
charges. Landlords wilfully viola
ting provisions Of the Act may also
be punished by maximum fines OF
$4,000 or one years imprisonment
en- both.

WOUNDED IN WASHINGTON

Two crippled soldiers drove up to
the Shoreham hotel in taxi. A
friend was taking them to dinner, to
bring a little cheer into their lives.
One soldier carried his arm in
brace, the other had lost a foot. Both
were officers of the air corps.
AS they were getting out of the
taxi, a limousine drove up behind
them, and out stepped Jesse Jones.
The big Texan watched the Grip
pied soldiers for a moment, then
took off his hat and stepped for
ward to open the door of the hotel.
He held the door open as the f1iers
passed, and when they had gone, he
said to a passerby:
Gee, that hits you below the belt
doesn't it?"

WIRE TAPPING


eminent, realize the extent to which
telephone wires are tapped today.
The good old days when wire-tap-
ping was done only by big-time
gangsters are gone, and almost no
telephone line around Washington is
safe today.
Even the private wire from Secre-
tary of State Hull to the President
of the United States was found to
have been tapped some time ago by
an unfriendly newspaper.
The FBI, which has been doing
the job of chasing down criminals
for years, is scrupulously careful
about overlapping But with out
fits like naval intelligence or mill
tary intelligence, which suddenly
have come into lush funds and have
inexperienced men spending them,
it is a different matter.
Latest overlapping development
is the system of tapping the wires OF
army and navy officers by the army
and navy itself.
For instance, here is the transcript
ton of a dictaphone recording in
the navy department of a conversa-
ton on May &c, 1912, between Capt.
John D. Crecca of the Boston navy
yard, and Comdr. E. E. Roth OF
the bureau of ships in Washington,
regarding tank landing boats.
Higgins Landing Boats.
The conversation shows that the
navy finally yielded to Andrew j.
Higgins of New Orleans, who had
long controversy with the bureau of
ships over the design of tank landing
boats. The bureau of ships had de-
signed it's own boat, called the "Bu-
reau tank lighter" which Higgins
claimed was not practicable, and the
two designs were tried out at Nor
folk, Va, on May 25. Here is an ex-
cerpt from their conversation:
Captain Crecca Gin Boston,: We
just got some disconcerting infor-
nation regarding possible change
in the design of the tank lighters.
Commander Roth Gin Washing
TOM: Possible-it's a sure thing.
Yes. Isn't that blow?
Captain Crecca: It's terrible.
Commander Roth: We can't af-
ford it. We had test down in Nor
folk yesterday. Captain Cochrane
went down, Commander Daggett
(Comdr. R. B. Daggett of the bu-
reau of ships) went down. The army
went down telephone connection in
terrupted).
Commander Roth: Well, they had
a showdown at Norfolk but little
breeze blew up. They got up to
about Is knots. The Bureau tank
lighter almost capsized. They
couldn't steer it. They just drifted
around. They had to pack with the
thing. Almost lost everybody on
board, almost lost the tank. Higgins
tank lighter came through fine, up
side in and made the beach and
the poor old Bureau tank lighter was
out there wallowing around. Captain
Cochrane came back this morning
and he saw the Chief and every
body else concerned and they sent
out-did you get copy of the dis
patch?
Commander Roth: Commander
Daggett is coming in late tonight
and I guess he's pretty well tired
out. It's pretty hard blow for
him, you know. He's sponsored this
all along.

from heart disease, probably aggra-

sailors are interned, and the facili-
