That is true not only in coal towns
but In many other places.
To Bring Down Prices.
Wherever we find that prices of
essentials have risen too high, they
will be brought down. Wherever we
find that price ceilings are being
violated, the violators will be
punished.
Rents have been fixed in most
parts of the country. In many cities
they have been cut to below where
they were before we entered the
war. Clothing prices have generally
remained stable.
These two items make up more
than third of the total budget of
the workers family.
AS for food, which today accounts
for about a third Of the family 'ex-
penditure on the average, I want to
repeat again: Your Government will
continue to take all necessary meas
ures to eliminate unjustified and
avoidable price increases. We are
now taking measures to roll back"
Lne price OF meats.
The war is going to go on. Coal
will be mined no matter what any
individual thinks about it. The
operation Of our factories, our power
plants, our railroads will not be
stopped. Our munitions must move
to our troops.
Under these circumstances, 1t Is
inconceivable that any patriotic
miner can choose any course other
than going back to work and mining
coal.

The Nation cannot afford violence
Of any kind at the coal mines or In

ity for the resumption of coal min

Secretary of the Interior. If it
becomes necessary to protect any
miner who seeks patriotically to go
back and work, then that miner
must have and his family must
have-and will llave-complete and
adequate protection. If it becomes
necessary to have troops at the mine
mouths or In coal towns for the
protection Of working miners and
their families. those troops will be
doing police duty for the sake of
the Nation as whole, and partic-
ularly for the sake of the fighting

Marines-your sons and mine-who

Text OF Rooseves Appeal to Miners Return to Work

Board. The only excuse that they
offer is that the War Labor Board
is prejudiced.
The War Labor Board has been
and Is ready to give the case a
fair, impartial hearing. I have
given my assurance that If any ad-
justment Of wages is made by the
board 1t will be made retroactive
to April l. But the national officers
Of the United Mine Workers re-
fused to participate in the hearing
when asked to do so last Monday.
On Wednesday Of this past week,
while the board was proceeding
with the case. stoppages began to
occur in some mines. On Thursday
morning I telegraphed to the officers
Of the United Mine Workers asking
that the miners continue mining
coal on Saturday morning. How
ever, general strike throughout the
industry became effective Friday
night.
The responsibility for the crisis
that we now face rests squarely on
these national officers Of the United
Mine Workers, and not on the Gov
ernment Of the United States. But
the consequences of this arbitrary
action threaten all of us.
At 10 O'Clock yesterday morning
the Government took over the
mines. called upon the miners to
return to work for their Govern
ment. The Government needs their
services just as surely as it needs
the services Of our soldiers, sailors
and marines-and the services of
the millions who are turning out the
munitions of war. :,
Sons Serving at Fronts.
You miners have sons in the Army
and Navy and Marine Corps. You
have sons who at this very minute
this split second-may be fighting
In New Guinea or in the Aleutian
Islands or Guadalcanal or Tunisia
or protecting troop ships and sup
plies against submarines on the high
seas. We have already received
kilograms from some of our fighting
men overseas, and I only wish they
could tell you what they think Of
the stoppage Of work in the coal
mines.
Some Of your own sons have come
back from the fighting fronts,
wounded. A number of them are
now here In hospital in Washing
ton. Several have been decorated
by their Government.
I could tell you of one from Penn
sylvania. He was coal miner be-
fore his induction. His father is a
coal miner. He was seriously
wounded by Nazi machine gun bull
lets while he was on bombing mis-
sion over Europe in a Flying Fort
ress.
Another boy, from Kentucky, the
son of coal miner, was wounded
when our troops first landed in
North Africa six months ago.
There is still another, from Till
nois. He was coal miner-his
father and two brothers are coal
miners. He was seriously wounded

coal follolUs:
l am speaking tonight to the
American people and in particular
to those of our citizens who are coal
miners. S=
Tonight this country faces seri-
GUS crisis. We are engaged in a war
on the successful outcome of which
will depend the whole future of our
country.
This war has reached new crlt1-
cal phase. After the years that we
have spent in preparation, we have
moved into active and continuing
battle with our enemies. We are
pouring into the worldwide conflict
everything that we have-Our young
men and the vast. resources of our
Nation.
1 have just returned from two
weeks tour of inspection on which
saw our men being trained and our
war materials made. My trip took
me through 90 States. I saw thou
sands of workers on the production
line, making airplanes, guns and
ammunition.
Work without Complaint.
Everywhere I found great eager
ness to get on with the war. Men
and women are working long hours
at difficult jobs and living under
difficult conditions without COM
plant.
Along thousands of miles of track
I saw countless acres OF newly
plowed fields. The farmers of this
country are planting the crops that
are needed to feed our armed forces,
our civilian population and our Al
lies. Those crops will be harvested.
On my trip, 1 saw hundreds OF
thousands of soldiers. Young men
who were green recruits last autumn
have matured into self-assured and
hardened fighting men. They are in
splendid physical condition. They
are mastering the superior weapons
that are pouring out of our factories.
The American people have accom-
plished miracle.
However, all of our massed effort
Is none too great to meet the de-
mands of this war. We shall need
everything that we have and every
thing that our Allies have-to de-
feat the Nazis and the Fascists in
the coming battles on the continent
of Europe, and the japanese on the
continent of Asia and in the islands
of the Pacific.
This tremendous forward move
ment of the United States and the
United Nations cannot be stopped
by our enemies.
Equally, it must not be hampered
by any one individual or by the
leaders of any one group here back
home.

Next Sunday will be Mothers
Day. an institution that now
seems to be somewhat firmly es-
tablished among us, though It's
history has been a relatively
short one.
It must be confessed that some
people have had a difficulty IN
retaining their enthusiasm for
the day, chiefly for the reason
that two very differinf groups OF
people have done about all that
they could to make it ridiculous
First, there have been the
over-sentimental folk who have
made it mawkish, and, second,
the thrifty people who have
rcommercialized it. Between the
two the day has had a difficult
time retaining its status.
Mothers Day is an institution
intended to give the other mem
bers of the community an OPP
portunity for paying a due need
of respect and honor to the
mothers in it. To do that there
is no need that we drool with
false sentiment or that we start
in to buy expensive flowers that
we cannot afford. There are ra-
tional and intelligent ways OF
showing our respect and honor,
and these ways are very much
more seemly than others that
we might adopt.
And that is very much the
mood of our time, which has
grown rather weary of some
things and especially of surface
sentiment that refuses to look at
things as they are.
It is true that motherhood is a
great institution, and one could
easily be forgiven for getting a
little sentimental about 1t on &C.
casion, but the fact remains that,
up to date, society hasn't given
it the intelligent attention and
consideration and study that IL
ought to give it, and that one OF
the very best ways open to us
today to honor motherhood is to
make up on that neglect and ov-
ersight. II that takes US away
for the time being from writing
poetry about motherhood to con-
slider the question as to why so
many mothers die in childbirth
and what ought to be done about
it, there oughtn't to be any rea-
sonable ground of complaint.
A campaign in the interests of
a lowering of childbirth NOR
tally is now in operation
throughout the country. To
make up our minds that we
would do what we could to as
sist that campaign might be a
very good way for some of us to
celebrate Mothers Day this
year.

Article Reveals How Britain Beats Black Marke
Pubhc;s Tips Trap Racketeers;
All Distributors Licensed
BY TOM WOLF
NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

NEA StdII Correspondent
LODON, May GA strong
national sense of patriotism is
the one essential weapon in the
arsenal of the black market
hunters over here.
They believe certain other
weapons are helpful. High on
the list is strict governmental
supervision of every stage of
distribution, thereby making il
legal stocks hard to get. But in
the long run it is public coopera-
ton, based on patriotism and
enlightened self-interest, which
exposes the blackmarketeer. To
date, every black market prose-
cution involving food has re-
suited from information laid be-
fore the Ministry of Food En-
forcement Section by the public.
The official estimates of the
extent of the black market are
secret. 1t is not secret, however,
that it is extremely small
smaller even than the average
Britisher probably thinks-for it
is part of the enforcement cam
paign to give the widest possible
publicity to even minor prosecu-
tons.
MEAT CONTROL COMPLETE
The first attack on the black
market started even before there
was rationing to inspire black
marketeers. Take the case of
meat, darkest spot on Americas
food-racket record. Meat ra-
tioning here started in March,
1910. Three months earlier the
government took over all
slaughterhouses in the United
Kingdom and hut down all but
700, which it operates itself. At
the same time it prohibited far
mers from slaughtering any
livestock even for their own ia
bleS.
When rationing finally came,
both retailers and housewives
were licensed. The British
housewife is not free to shop
around from butcher TO butcher.
She must register with one deal
err and continue to buy from
him. He in turn is allotted a
meat quota based on the num-
Der of customers registered with
him.
Until the wholesalers were
brought under license Supervi-
sion in August, l94l, there still
was a potent black market
loophole. Now supervision is

Samples Of Olive Oil
 Reported Adulterated
Experiment Station Also Checks I,S26 Samples of Food Sold in Connecticut; Complaints Investigated

from the Experiment Station.
 Station examinations the past year indicate that in general foods met the standards described in the states pure food legislation, which is designed to safeguard the public against fraudulent and deleterious sophistication of products. A vast improvement is shown in the purity of samples examined in recent years, as compared with those examined in 1895, the date of the first inspec- ton. Tn the case of coffee, for in- stance, the first inspection made under the pure food law showed that 58 out of GA samples sold as coffee were adulterated. The past year, when rationing was imminent and adulteration might therefore be anticipated, saw little disposition on the part of packers to market cof- fee mixed with rine-soffee diluents. Articles sold as coffee were genuine, and in two cases where non-coffee material was present, 1t was de- clared.
 Tn addition to coffee, other food products examined at the Experi- ment Station the past year included eggs, Brazilian "tea" or mat. but ter, milk and meat products. Among the drugs were tincture of iodine, mineral oil, quinine sulphate tablets and prescription drugs. Tests Of Babcock glassware are also recorded in the report. Changes in the twelfth edition of the United States Phar- macopoeia are listed for the benefit of Connection druggests.
