Cracking the Whip

month, John L. Lewis and the United
Mine Workers have resorted to
strike in the vital coal industry to
force the Government and the mine
operators to meet their wage de-
mands. To most Americans, who
would not think to challenge the
authority of their Government in
time of war, it Is a humiliating
spectacle.
This second strike-Mr. Lewis calls
it a refusal to trespass-has come
about in almost casual fashion.
After the Government had taken
over the mines following the first
strike, and after the men had gone
back to work with American flags
flying at the pits, the War Labor
Board stepped out from under the
main point at issue by returning the
portal-to-portal pay question to COL
lective bargaining negotiations be-
tween the miners and the operators.
This, on its face, was unrealistic
since the Government, and not the
private owners, was operating the
mines. Furthermore, this question
had been the subject of negotiations
for weeks prior to the first strike, and
was certified to the board only after
1t had become evident that the
parties to the negotiations could
not agree.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Lewis and the
operators-the latter deprived of
control Of their mines-resumed
their discussions. When two weeks
passed without agreement, Mr.. Lewis
granted an extension of the truce"
to the end of May. When that dead
line passed-still without an agree
ment-Mr. Lewis failed to authorize
another truce and the miners simply
stopped work. No formal strike was
called and none was necessary.
In this situation, which Mr.. Ickes
properly calls a strike against the
Government" the negotiations are
continuing, and pressure is being put
on the operators to agree to some
thing that will induce Mr.. Lewis to
order his men back to work.
But it is absurd for any one to take
the view that this is an issue between
Mr.. Lewis and the operators, who
have been elbowed out of the picture.
This is a clash between Mr.. Lewis
and the President, as has been the
case from the beginning, with the
former apparently determined not
only to get the money that he wants,
but also bent upon demonstrating
to all of organized labor that he can
defy the Government and get away
with 1t.
To this point, although the strike
is in its third day, the President has
remained silent. Nor, with the
exception Of Mr. 1ckes, has any other
Government official lifted a finger,
except to go before House commit
tee to oppose enactment of the Con-
nally-smith antistrike bill. But on
the night of May 2, when Mr.. Roose-
welt spoke directly to the miners,
he said that "a stopping of the coal
supply, even for a short time, would
involve gamble with the lives of
American soldiers and sailors and
the future of our whole people"
Therefore, he added, IT say to all
miners-and to all Americans every
where, at home and abroad-the pro-
duction of coal will not be stopped"
But the production of coal has
been stopped, openly and deflantly.
Once again, Mr.. Lewis is cracking the
whip. What is the Government 60
ing to do about It?

1t is ironic that it takes a war to en-

power at work. II we could develop such
trade during peace times we would have
no need to worry about unemployment.
And there is no reason, II the world re-
turns to sanity after this war, why there
should not be such a movement of COM
modify surpluses between nations as to
abolish unemployment. That should be

OPA Defended by Spokesman
For Consumer Group.

FOR consumer OrOup.
70 the Editor Of The Star:
Women may complain lot about the
OPA, but the intelligent ones know that
it is bulwark against imitation. For
Congress to kill 1t in order to transfer
its power to Food Administrator Chester
c. Davis would be childish.
Either we have imitation or we have
subsidies The latter is more economical
for the Government, the consumer and
labor. If we get imitation instead of
subsidies you will see who is running the
country, for naturally the big farmers,
professors, wholesalers and food brokers
are the ones who want high prices. The
small farmers never get the benefit of
high prices. The spread is exhausted
before it gets to them.
The big boys remember the lush years
of 1918-1922, when there was no OPA
and when sugar rose from to Is cents
a pound. No wonder Congress eliminated
Leon Henderson and now Is out to kill
the whole "dastardly bureau" that dares
to act in the interest of the war effort
and of the consumers.
We women understand that the
strength of the black market has been
largely due to our own weakness, since
we hold the purse strings and can make
the black marketeer look pretty foolish
by merely refusing to buy. And you,
Mr.. Editor, can help a lot. too, by doing
all you can to publicize the legal ceilings
and to encourage the public to refuse
to pay more. For all that you have
done and will do, we thank you.

A bill to provide $500 in muster ing-out pay for all grades in the Army beneath the rank of captain was promised swift action this week by Chairman May of the House Military Affairs Committee who plans to introduce the meas ure.
 Bills were also introduced in both houses of Congress to pro- vide unemployment insurance of from $15 to $25 a week, plus so. cial security benefits, as out-of- service benefits for men and wom- en in the armed forces.
 Requested By FDR
 The new benefits for those in the service were asked by President Roosevelt in a message to Congress earlier in the week.
 The federal unemployment pay, ments, continuing up to 52 weeks if the serviceman remains unem. ployed that long after his dis. charge, would supplement existing state unemployment insurance benefits. No payments would be made however, for any period in which the serviceman receives fed eral mustering-out pay or educa- tional allowances.
 Identical bills were introduced jointly in the Senate by Senators Wagner O., N.Y.), George O., Ga.), and Clark O., Mo-, and in the House by Chairman Doughton O., N.C.) of the ways and means committee.
 Quick Action Urged
 Calling for prompt congressional consideration of the legislation, Senator Wagner said that about 100000 men have been demobilized since Pearl Harbor and that, in ad-

 Wagner said it was impossible to forecast the cost of the proposed benefits but that "by any reason able estimate the cost will not ex- ceed our cost of running the war for about two weeks during the present fiscal year." A rough es- innate would be around $4,OO0,- 100000.

COL JOHNSON NEW BASE co.
Civilians Contribute
 Freely to Blood Bank

Availing themselves of a long sought opportunity, heretofore im- practical due to conflict between their duty hours and those of the regular Blood Banks, the civilians of Bradley Field turned out in force yesterday to donate their pints to the mobile Blood Bank unit set up at the Recreation Hall.
 Throughout the day, over 80 men and women of all ages from all departments of the Base wend- ed their way to the Recreation Hall to do their bit to the end that the supply of hve-saving plasma on the battle fronts might not diminish. Many were between IS and q and brought with them the consent of their parents or guardians to make the donation. Others, under IS, ex- pressed disappointment that they were as yet too young to contrib ute.
 About 20 minutes was required for each simple Operation" under the close supervision of qualified doctors and nurses and the Red Cross Mobile Canteen corner was resplendent with sandwiches, coffee and doughnuts, offered unsparingly to the donors as the finale"
 This was but another instance of the cooperative instinct so regular ly prevalent among the civilian em- ployees of Bradley Field every time a call for help goes out. But, in this case, the greatest satisfaction will be felt within each donor for having done the small thing which may mean actually life itself for some one of our fighting brothers.
