The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1943-06-08

On May End President RoOse-
welt delivered a solemn warning
to the nation calling for the re-
sumption of coal mining and the
stoppage of all strikes in de
tense industries. His words
were brave and the principles
he enunciated were of the high
est patriotism. Using his powers
as Commander in Chief, he took
over the mines. The American
flag was hoisted. He appointed
Secretary Ickes to take charge.
The American people then be-
lieved that at last the admins
tration intended to come to grips
with John L. Lewis. Twice be-
fore John L. Lewis had won VIC
cries over the administration.
The average citizen said that
Harold L. Ickes was a tough
guy" and he would tell John
Lewis where to get off, but so
far Mr.. Ickes has spoken very
softly and made rather humble
requests of Mr.. Lewis to resume
the mining of coal.
The strongest condemnation
Mr.. Ickes has as yet made of MIR.
Lewis was the night of June !
when he said, The President of
the United Mine Workers can
not escape the responsibility for
the cessation of work today"
Mr.. Lewis was not even men,
toned by name.
What hidden power has John
L. Lewis SO that he, and he
alone, can defy the government
of the United States in an hour
of the greatest peril this nation
has ever faced? Can anything
be more destructive of the mo-
rale of those American boys
who are fighting and dying on
foreign battlefields? Has the
American flag, which now flies
over the coal mines of America,
lost its power and prestige?
We were told that no strike
could occur against the United
States Government. Mr.. Ickes
is operating the coal mines, act
ing for the government. The
United States is the employer.
Yet, on June 2, in the third day
of the strike, the Associated
Press reports that 100000 miners
remain idle. Mr.. Lewis has de-
fled the War Labor Board. He
has refused to appear before
them or to negotiate directly
with them. Piece by piece he is
obtaining all that he has asked
for. The actual awards have
not been made-but concessions
have been rendered him which
indicate he will finally gain all
that he has requested.
If Mr.. Lewis can defy his gov
eminent and the American flag
now and get by with it, what
may happen when peace comes.
Then America will go through
the most difficult period of re-
construction of its American
economy that has ever faced US.
Then the seeds that are being
sown today by the lack of cour-
I age and firmness on the part of
the high government officials
may sprout to domestic chaos
and strife. If Mr.. Lewis can de-
fly his government in time of
war, how can he be controlled
in time of peace in the volcanic
readjustment period following
the war.
Congress has endeavored TO
pass anti-strike legislation in
war industries. Just before Pearl
Harbor the Smith Bills were
passed by the House of Repre-
/ sentatives. Had these bills been
enated by the Senate and signed
