ARMY PRIVATE
FLAYS MINERS
HOspitaIized Soldier Says
Lewis Assumes Selfish
Attitude to Nation

New York, June q CUP 49, Pvt.
Byron M. Edgett of Des Moines, Ia,
now in an army hospital in New
Guinea, has written an open letter
to John l.. Lewis, warning the Unit
ed Mine Workers president that the
coal strike may cost the lives of
thousand of men and that "one day
those of US who do return will call
for strict accounting"
The letter was broadcast over the
Columbia Networks today by George
Moorad, Columbia correspondent in
Australia.
Edgetts letter as carried by
Columbia said
Il am a soldier confined TO a
hospital in New Guinea, divorved
from army functions and ability to
assist the war effort as a civilian,
and l feel even greater futility, with
the news from America of the strike
of 100000 coal miners under your
domination.
* now ing the hard-headed,
power stricken, selfish attitude you
have assumed toward your govern
ment, it is with small hope OF in
huencing your actions that this is
written. In this hospital there are
fellows who have spent from year
! to eighteen months overseas. Some
are engineers who went through the
Milne Bay Carnage, the PHILIPPINES
and Java campaigns, some are artll-
lery men and am force. About so
per cent have wives, and half this
number have families to support.
Our average income, including gov
eminent benefits, is 500 a month.
Should we strike for higher
wages? What would your reaction
be in our place? Living in mud and
dust, fighting Vermin and mosqui-
| toes suffering under blazing sun,
and always waiting for equipment
for planes and food-only to read
that Americans at home are too
concerned with personal welfare to
worry about our precariouS foothold,
still slippery with the blood of our
comrades. Are we, or are we not
entitled to 100 per cent support from
our country
Would you like to think, Mr..
Lewis that by heightened the war
by day, week, a month, you
have cost lives of thousands of men,
unselfish men? These miners have
fathers, sons and brothers in the
service. When they realize that fol-
lowing your dictates will mean that
more of their loved ones are not
coming home, how will you maintain
that you have been their cham
pion?"

BOARD OF WORKS
SEEKS ORDINANCE
Developers of Real Estate
Tracts to Be Compelled
to Observe Laws

The board of works gave serious
consideration to the problem of de-
handing developers of real estate
tracts to install water mains, sewers,
and street grading before they are
permitted to construct houses, at its
meeting last night Although no ac-
ton was taken, 1t was recommend
ed that the board of aldermen be
asked to adopt such an ordinance
later. 1t was said that most Of the
larger cities in the state now have
such ordinances. The board also
suggested the transfer OF $4,000
from the salary item in the street
department to a new item to be
known as labor and expenses other
than materials for repairs to side
walks" The decrease of present en-
ployeS makes it necessary to call in
temporary employment to repair
sidewalks, was the reason given.
The, water committee and the SUI
perintendent of the water depart
ment we're requested to take the
matter up concerning the altera-
tons made to connect the city wa
ter system with the Oakville fire
district to determine how the eX-
penses of the work should be divided
between the city and fire district.
The city has been contracted by
the district to supply it with water
and a connection was installed be-
tween the two systems but it was
found necessary later to reconstruct
and install o 16-inch pipe where it
Joins the Oakville system. The Oak
vile district furnished material an"
labor, but the material and labor
was provided for by the city in the
amount of $1,479. Supt. Scott-Smith
will present his divisional report at
the boards next meeting.
The board will inquire of the
board of finance if there are funds
for the purpose of installing sewers
on the following streets: Sheffield
street, White Rose avenue, Francis
street, and Parker street, with the
estimate $3.50 given. Requests re-
ceived for installation Of sewers on
Ross street, Nelson street and HaW-
thorne avenue, were handed over to
the sewer committee for considera-
ton.
