PERcoLATINc Powwow

he ana had quite a powWoW
about increasing the effective
ness of the Chamber which
still believe is not underway as
much as it should be. In our dis
cussions were brought up the
subjects of Cd full time publicity
man, CD advertising program, (3)
project program. Our discussion
was quite warm and quite frank.
OF course any action must be
taken by the Chamber as a body.
The meeting of the Business
mems Association with the
Chamber which is scheduled for
Monday after next should prove
fruitful to both bodies. There is
much 10 be done and it is high
time that we became agreed by
q majority vote on courses of
action. A great deal of the pre-
hminary ground has been clear
ed out and each side knows
pretty well what the opinions of
the other body are. The point
now is TO correlate all the plans.
] think that is going to be done.
Neither side at this time can
afford to be arbitrary. 1t is now
q question of production rather
than personality. Let us be on
with doing the things for Key
West which are planned but
never get done.

the other side are are those who
like card games, who enioy
watching the umbrella spin. and
who certainly enjoy PLAYING

viso that no outside eangster
gamblers run this sort of play.

fer to the possibility when the

out of their sacks" locally if
such an election is successful and
Miami syndicate gamblers allow
ed in. State and local swift action
this winter slapped a swift road
block into these outside syndi-
Gates coming in here this last
winter and poured the fire on
them. The natural and age old
enemy was kept out of Key West
successfully. / could tell you
much of lottery and numbers
rackets which were planned and
the stooges sent here to play
with local people and gain their
sympathy. Much as the Nazis
sent their spies to corrupt with
poison propaganda before their
powerful legions marched in.
THREAT NEXT ELECTION
The sheriff's election next time
may well see a play for power
between these Miami sharpers
and the local crowds collectors.
With some local people lining up
on both sides. Allan Cleare, Jr.,
county solicitor, told business
men at a recent meeting, Guard
well your city from those who
would seek to corrupt it,. can
only repeat that very sincere
warning. When you vote be sure
that you know what you are vot-
ing for. # you as a majority do
not wish gambling in this town,
be sure that by your vote you
do not throw out a fairly easy
crowd to wolves who really
throw our tourist city to the
wolves.

which should be laid among the
posies- It has been reported that

Il realty company is known to
have exclusive dealing to a piece
Of property and a request comes
IN for information on that piece
Of property why then the realty
company in question is contacted
saving much time and trouble.
The chamber correspondence is
open at all times to the general

Detroit Publishers
Offer Concessions

Detroit (FP)-Publishers of the
Detroit Free Press, Detroit News,
and Detroit Times, the towns
three dailies, have offered some
concessions to the AFL printing
trades unions under pressure of a
strike vote.
Typographers, mailers, stereo-
typers, photoengravers and press
men are involved. Sporadic inter-
ruptions Of work due to unredress-
ed grievances had earlier caused
failure of editions to appear on the
streets in the case of the Free
Press and the Times. The Detroit
News withheld its early edition on
one day in a publishers sympathy
sitdown with Hearst's Times.
The dispute is over terms of a
new contract, old agreements hav-
ing expired Nov. !.

job operations that members Of the
Brotherhood were performing in
their respective departments.
In meeting with President
James M. Duffy and committee
from the local, representing the

Heated Legal
Arguments In
Cool Dispute
Union And Lewis
Protected BY Law

Washington (FP)-An indica-
tion that Justice T. Alan Colds
borough will not attempt to send
President John l.. Lewis Of the
United Mine Workers to Jail in
event he finds Lewis guilty Of con-
tempt Of court came Nov. 27 after
the jurist extended the injunction
against the union and its leader
for 10 days.
During the heated legal argu-
ments over the application Of the
Smith -Connally act to the injunc-
ton in the soft coal dispute, Colds
borough remarked that "nobody's
comfort will be disturbed whatever
the outcome of the case.
AFL' Chief counsel Joseph A.
Padway, who led most of the dis
cussion for the UNIV, argued that
the courts have established that
"men have the. right to work or not
to work" Goldsborough said he
agreed and Assistant Attorney
General John F. Sonnet arose to
state his own agreement.
"Well then," Padway roared,
what are we here for? What's all
the shouting about?"
Padway contended that tn @
courts objective is to get the min
ers to return to work by manda-
tory decree and claimed the in
junction denies the right of exer-
else of the constitutional rights of
freedom Of speech, freedom of the
press and assembly" He attacked
its call for involuntary servi-
tude" as illegal.
ut may be that tomorrow the
UNIV may want to picket the
mines," he said, inquiring if the in
junction barred picketing. Colds
borough responded that at means
just what it says"
Padway and UNIV Chief Coun-
sci Welly X. Hopkins are con-
tending that the union and Lewis
are protected from the injunction
by the Norris-LaGuardia act,
while the jurist insisted that the
government, acting as employer in
the seized mines, was using it's
sovereign power and could not be
held liable to that law. Previously
the UNIV had made a formal mo-
ton to dismiss the case on grounds
that the court had no jurisdiction.
Goldsborough did not rule on the
but stated that whether
the Norris-LaGuardia act applies
Dr. not in this case, the disregard
ing of the restraining order is
punishable for contempt. l am say
ng that to give you the opportun-
ty to argue the point later. If re-
orders are not obeyed,
We would have what virtually
would amount to anarchy"

Army Spigo+s
And OufhouSeS
Are Miners Lot
BY ALDEN TODD

Logan, w. Va. (FP)-The story
Of the soft coal miner is not one of
lust for personal power, Of a rule
or ruin policy or any Of the other
smearing charges made by the
vast majority of the daily press
and radio.
To get the real story, you'll have
to talk to typical young miner
like Woodrow Payne. | interview
ed him in AccoviIle, near here,
Nov. 21.
Payne rents his home from his
employer, the coal company, as do
his companions in the pits. He pays
81 the first and fifteenth of every
month for a four room frame
wooden box" of a house. There's
an outhouse instead Of a toilet
Running Water? You'll find it
dripping from single spigot out
side in an alley. The family's cook
ing and washing water is carried
inside via buckets.
The Payne family bathes in a
big pan in the kitchen, since this
mine has no bath houses--the col
lective bath house being a rela-
lively recent innovation in com
pany towns.
"They said they were going to
get US a bath house." Payne told
me "but they haven't got around
to it yet" Some of the miners
wives have electric washing ma
chimes now to ease the weekly bur-
den of clothing for large family,
but those who are not so fortunate
generally wash clothes by digging
a fire pit outdoors and boiling
them in a heavy iron pct.
Summer and winter the only
source of heat in the average com
pany house is the coal burning kit
chen stove, which carries heat to
the other rooms.
In addition, if his home is wired
for electricity, the miner also is
out Of pocket about So per month
for light bills.
