Strikers Ignoring
Presidents Order
To Return to Work
Many War Factories
Will Be Forced to Cut
Production Very Soon
BY UNITED PRESS

The nations coal miners
ignored President Roosevelt's
back-to-work order Wednes
day and the threat to the
steel industry increased with the
prospect that nine blast furnaces
in the Pittsburgh area would be
forced out of production within "a
hours.
Officials of the United States
Steel Corp. announced they would
be forced to bank the mine furnaces
because of dwindling coal supplies.
The curtailment, combined with in
ability to bring a 10th furnace into
production, will reduce the COM
pany's pig iron output about 25
per cent, officials said.
PREPARE TO CUT
Other steel producers in the Pitts
burgh area prepared to curtail OPP
erations if the strike continues.
At Chicago, the Carnegie-Illinois
Steel Corp. announced it would be
forced to bank four blast furnaces
by the first of the week, eventually
cutting steel production from its
Chicago area mills by at least 20
per cent Company spokesman said
the South Chicago Works, and the
worlds largest steel mill at Gary
Ind, have an eight-day supply of
coal. In order to conserve the sup
ply, however, the company said it
would begin curtailing coke produc-
ton.
The National Cast Iron Pipe Co.
at Birmingham, Ala, employing 800
persons in the production of NUM-
tions, announced plans to halt pro-
duction Thursday because of fuel
gas shortage resulting from the
coal strike. Company spokeSmen

Mum's the Word

There has been quite little in the newspapers this week about keeping mum where military affairs are concerned. The location of armed forces is not encouraged, nor when and where the boys go when they leave this country. The families of those in the armed forces are anxious, of course, to know where their sons and brothers arc, and hints are often given, not directly, by them when they wrote home. There has been a request to newspapers and relatives and families of servIcemen to be sparlng with information. Thls has come from the Officer of Censorship.
 It is 6 hardship to those at home not 10 know where those in the service are located. Much guessing and piecing to- Rether are done as regards their destlna' ton and possible location. For all con' cerned and in the best interests Of our future success 1t would seem right now lhat silence Is golden when it comes to military secrets.

Up in Gardiner, Maine, Laura E.

The writer would have been 93 years of age next month. She had a long literary career beginning with Sketches and Scraps" and ending with "Harry in England", span from 1881 to 1887.
 Incidentally she was the daughter of Julia Ward Howe. If asked to recall a book by Laura E. Richards, most of those in their middle years and upwards will think immediately of Captain January" that fascinating little seacoast story about lighthouse keeper. It was small volume.

Mrs. Taylor's Insurance

After Raymond Taylor of Chester, Pa, went to his death in torpedoed tanker, his widow received $5150 war risk insur- ance. From it she paid the family's bills and taxes. Then she bought $750 war bond. That left $3208.01, from which she sent check for $2000 to the War Ship ping Administration as an outright gift to help finance the war against the axis. "Now don't worry about my son and me" she wrote, "for have been working ever since July and my son is working too" The gift, of course, was declined, with the suggestion that it be invested in more war bonds. What comment could be made that would not be anticlimactic?

The Army-Or 30 Days!

The blatancies of pulp and celluloid have done their best to convince us that there are two sides to every story, and although that theory is certainly not 100 per cent correct, it appears that there IS one story being hushed about these days, both sides of which should be brought out in the open.
 It is the story of magistrates showing leniency to draft eligibles in courtrooms throughout the land. Very often it hap pens that the judge will hint to prison CT that if he goes in the armed forces ln 30 days, a nolle or suspended sentence will be granted. Occasionally, all hint ing aside, the judge will come out point blank and tell the accused that either he goes to jail, or he goes in the Army.
 Regarding this practice, there is one school of thought which is behind it so- lidly because it gives the fellow another chance to make good on his own. It IS pointed out that anyone with criminal record cannot enlist in the armed forces of the country, and thus many fine, able bodied men are lost. But if little lenl- ency is shown on the part of the judge, the fellow goes in the service in 30 days, and everybody is happy
 Everybody? Not so, according to an- other group. What about the fellow who volunteered for the service, they ask, or the one who accepted the challenge Of the government in selective service? Those men are proud to wear the stars and stripes of the United States on their uniforms. They have made tremendous sacrifice for the privilege of wearing that uniform. Are they happy to see fellow walk in, set his duffle-bag beside theirs, and say he had his choice of jail or serv- ice-so he joined the Army?

Modern Rangers

The name rangers" is apt for the American version of the Commandos. In a war that features use of the most ultra modern instruments of death and destruc- tion, we have been driven back to the methods of stealth and man-to-man con1- bat in which Rogers Rangers outdid the very Indians from whom they derived their methodology.
 The services of Robert Rogers back woods militiamen were invaluable to the Anglo-Americans during the Seven Years War against the French in North America. They accomplished feats which no reg ular troops, however skilled and cour- ageous, could have achieved That is what the modern Rangers will do with modern enemies.

Pay As You Go

No doubt everyone concerned can pick out one recommendation that will ap- peal to him most in the list outlined by Eric A. Johnston United States Cham Der of Commerce head. You will hear, probably have been hearing, on all sides, "this pay-as-you-go appeals to me-" The last of the eight recommendations is also important - Assure the American people of a return to the American system after the war.
 Our average American will be most impressed with number 8-Preserve small business enterprises. There you have something. Or rather you have not, be- cause it is the small business man that has suffered most in recent years. Some ot them have closed up never to return; others are just hanging on. There seems to be no place for him, as in the case of our small stores. Once they were part and parcel of the American way of living, from the village emporium which sold molasses and madras cloth to the small city department store which de- livered anything from ribbon by the yard to carpets With the closing up of many of these small stores has gone something very real and important in the one-time American system.
 Also important in the lineup of sug- gestions are: Relieve the plight of the farmer - Stop expansion and creation of additional government bureaus-and first and foremost-Place income tax collections on "pay-as-you-go basis.

 In his zeal to promote party in- terests the charming Oregonian neglected to mentoln @ bristling set-to between himself and Sem ator Styles Bridges of New Hamp- shire over COP representation on the important Foreign Relations Committee.
 During the past session the Re- publicans had seven members on the Foreign Relations Committee against 16 Democrats. However, the COP was holding out for a 14-9 alignment this session be- cause of Republican increases in the Senate. So there was some disappointment when McNary in- formed the caucus that the com- mittee makeup was to be 15-8, instead of 14-9.
 Bridges and other non-isolation- ists hoped to piace able, far sighted Senator Warren Austin of Vermont cn the committee. How ever, with one vacancy instead of two, this was difficult, because isolationist Senator James Devis of Pennsylvania, another candi- date, had seniority over Austin. INSIDE ISOLATIONIST DEAL
 Bridges made no effort to con- ceal his indignation. He hotly demanded of McNary:

The railroads will be moving more petroleum this year than in 1942, so it is slated in financial columns. This does not take into consideration what the pipe lines will carry. This burden on the railroads will be heavy as long as the war lasts Just how much do the railroads carry? You'd be surprised. About 100000 barrels day, it is esti- mated, using 68,OOO tank cars and 1,500 locomotives. So when you hear trains laundering along the rails at night you can picture little more than ordinary freight. The pipe lines move about 3OO,O0O barrels day. And the cost well, we won't go in to that.

 BIG STEEL VS SPONGE IRON
 After weeks of hammering and with the help of Secretary IcKes, Wyoming's Senator O,Mahoney finally has brought about the in stallation of g. sponge iron plant at the University of Wyoming.
 Though a long way from east- ern steel centers, this plant may have, revolutionary consequence. For Senator OMahoney and Ickes' Bureau of Mines experts contend that sponge iron will prove that iron ore can be refined and re- duced at the mouth of any small iron mine in the United States. It will also solve the crucial shortage of steel.
 In other words, instead of shipping ore hundreds of miles to expensive blast furnaces in Ohio and Pennsylvania, ore can be refined at the mines mouth, then shipped. Or industry can flourish near the low grade iron mines which are scattered throughout the nation.
 This is what Gov. BrOugh- ton plans to get started in North Carolina.
 Meanwhile, the Wyoming ex- pertinent will use the Krupp sponge iron process, developed in Germany, and later new process. Meanwhile, also, Senator O'Ma- honey is working out a plan for private capital to finance sponge iron plants without going through the bottleneck of the RFC's De- fense Plants. Inc. He figures that with steel desperately need- ed for ships, planes and rubber factories and with bank balances accumulated, now is the time to get a new diversified iron ir- dustry started throughout the country.

 "That was my agreement with Senator BarlIley and it has the approval of the Republican Committee on Committees" re- piled McNary. Senator Bark ley has assured me that the next Democrat vacancy on the foreign Relations Committee will go to us. That's the un- derstanding." :.
 "But the makeup was sup posed to be IA Democrats and Bridges. Instead of gaining two seats, as we should, we are actually losing one and the Democrats are gaining one. I would like to know why the Senator from Oregon made such an agreement"
 'J don't like to be questioned in this way" snapped McNary. My judgment on such matters has never been questioned in the past"

 Insiders see the fine hand of Senator Gerald Nye, North Da- kota isolationist, in the bypass ing of Austin. As chairman of the COP Committe con Commit tees, Nye has a powerful voice in COP committee appointments. With the appointment of Davis, the entire COP roster on the Foreign Relations Committee con- tinues to be isolationist, with the possible exception of fence-strad- ding Senator Wallace White of Maine.
 NOTE: From the viewpoint of isolationist Republicans it was better to have one new isolation ist Republican on the Committee, than two new Republicans one of whom believes in world coopera- tion.
