Union Screw
PZunt Closed
By Strike Tues.

Employees of the Union Screw
Products CO., S. Grove ST., went on
strike at am. Tuesday, and are
permitting only office workers and
shop supervisors to enter the plant.
The strike is the second in the his
tory of Marysville. Thirty-five en-
ployeeS are affected.
Although it was not unexpected,
William S. Hopes, manager OF the
Screw co., said he had no previous
official notice that the strike was
impending.
Il wasn't surprised when they
struck" Mr. Hopes declared.
after all, this sort of thing is in
the air throughout the nation and
there has been agitation in our
shop for some time"
Main issue in back of the strike
is wages, Mr.. Hopes said. "The
Union is asking for greater pay
increase than we feel we can af-
ford, and we just simply haven't
been able to get together yet" he
added
Organized In January
The Screw co. shop was organi-
zed late in January, after employ
ees had selected the International
Machinists union, affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor,
as their bargaining agent at an e.
lection on Jan. 26. Negotiations
for contract were started be-
tween the company and the union
in February.
A strike vote was held by the
Union a month ago, Mr. Hopes
said, at which time the member
ship voted in favor of a strike.
However, the walk-out was de-
layed until this week.
Negotiations were still under
way as late as Monday" Mr..
Hopes said.

COAL SUPPLY FOR MARYSvIL LE HOMES GOOD
REFORMATORY And
NESTLES SHORT,
SURVEY REVEALS
21a-Week Supply At
Prison, Is Days At Milk
Plant, Superintendent Say

Although there is enough coal in
Marysville to meet ordinary heat
ing needs, the outlook for some of
the larger users is far from en-
couraging, check-up made by the
Journal on Wednesday indicates.
Most desperate is the situation
of the Ohio Reformatory for Wo-
men, where only a 21a weeks sup
ply exists, while NeStles Milk Pro-
ducts, Inc, can operate another 25
days or so before running out of
coal.
Heavy shipments of coal during
March, plus unusually mild wealth
er in March and April combined to
give the William J. Conrad & Son
Coal co. a good supply in the yard,
Edgar j. Conrad said.
Domestic Supply Ample
1--WE have ample coal on hand to
take care of local home and buSi-
ness needs for the remainder of
the heating season." Mr.. Conrad
said
"On the whole, Marysville resi-
dents can consider themselves
fortunate" he declared. MANY
communities are very short of coal
supplies, and dealers yards are
bare"
ConradS' have enough hard coal
to take care of all brooder needs,
some stoker coal, and a good sup
ply of both egg and lump coal
from Ohio, Kentucky and West
Virginia. They are even taking
future-deIivery roders for quantity
delivery after the strike is ended.
Reformatory Outlook Gloomy
Constrasting with this report is
the gloomy outlook for Mrs. Mar
guerite Reilley, superintendent of
the Reformatory,
Il simply don't know what we
are going to do when our supply
here runs out, she said. The Re-
formatory operates its own power
plant, generating its own electri-
city for lighting and operating its
own water distribution system.
Unless the month-old coal strike
ends very quickly, or emergency
can can be obtained elsewhere, the
Reformatory will be in desperate
straits when its fuel supply is ex-
hausted. 1t will mean no heat, no
lights, no water and no sewage dis
posal for the Institution of nearly
300 inmates and 80 officers.
NestleS Head Worried
Dwight Hush, superintendent of
the local Nestles Plant, was con-
cerned the tremendous loss of in
come to approximately 2500 farm
ers should his plant not be able
to get coal when it's present 25-day
supply is gone. The milk plant.
too, generates its own electricity.
This coal probelm is lot more
serious than many people realize"
Mr.. Hush said. 1--WE might be able

APRIL SECOND
DRIEST ON RECORD
Only 1.39 Inches Rain
Recorded During Month

Wednesdays gentle but soaking
rains were extremely welcome to
Union county farmers whose fields
were badly in need of moisture
after one of the driest Aprils on re-
cord here
According to the monthly report
of Russell S. Banks, local observer
for the u. S. Weather Bureau, only
1.39 inches of rain fell during the
month just ended. Only one other
April in the 30 years that records
have been kept locally was drier,
Mr.. Banks said. That was in 1880,
when precipitation was only 1876
inches.
Heaviest rainfall during the
month came on April II, with .35
of an inch, and April Is, with .33
of an inch. In addition to the rain
fall, however there were 4 inches
of snow on April IL.
This April is 2.12 inches below
the 30-year April average of 3.51
inches. Accumulated shortage for
the first four months of 1916 is
295 inches. Wettest April on re-
cord was in 1920, when TBS inches
was recorded, Mr.. Banks said.
Highest temperature during the
month was SO degrees above on
April % and lowest was % on A.
pril II. Average temperature for
this April was 36.1 degrees. There
were il days when the mercury
dropped to below freezing.
There were four clear days dur
ing the month"; % were partly
cloudy, and four were cloudy, Mr..
Banks said. High and low temper

WEEK END FROST
KILLS MOST FRUIT
Only Few Apples Left
Orchard Manager Says

Approximately 95 percent of the
apples and about all of the other
fruit at the Ohio Orchard CO., near
Milford Center, was killed by Sc
we're frosts over the past weekend,
c. V. Dutton, orchard manager
said this morning after he had
completed his check-up of frost
damage.
About the only apples left are
some in the tops of trees, Mr.. Dut-
ton said. Cherries and all other
stone fruits are practically wiped
out, and about the only peaches
saved were those in five acres
which were heated during the eX-
treme cold
The temperature dropped to %
degrees above on Sunday and pros
pective fruit crops from here on
north and northeast to Lake Erie
were practically wiped out, the
OrchardiSt said. The central part
of Ohio reported spotty damage,
while the southern part of Ohio is
still safe, at least as far as apples
are concerned.
Until this weekend, we had one
Of the most wonderful prospects
for apples that we have had in
years" Mr.. Dutton said. 1T was a
terrible blow to us.
Mr.. Dutton believes that practi-
cally all fruit in Union county has
been killed, with the possible eX-
ception of isolated trees in shelf
cred areas, such as might be the
case in towns, or close to houses.

A New Solution

Tt is only in last resort" Heikal Pasha of Egypt told the LIN General Assembly, "that should think of establishing refugees in other parts of the world"
 As he spoke the American Military Government in Ger many was cleaning up bomb damage to denaZication of flee in Esngen and hunting the errorsts responsible for antidenazicaton outbreaks there and in Stuttgart AS he spoke Rome police still rounding up suspects after bomb had been placed in the Chamber of Deputies part of awess anniversary celebration of Mussons march on Rome.
 The remnants of nazism and fascism were stirring in their grave of military defeat Some were acting with bodnes that they had shown since the deaths of Mus soni Hitler and the regimes they created Others like minded but less violent contrvng to SOW dissension among the wartime Allies by rumors and accusations.
 These were the people who, in their time of strength, created the problem of odays refugees They the people whose characterization is long, difficult process which demands wisdom and force.
 One might codboodedy say that the process of democ ratzation could be made harder by an attempt to re- patrae Europes Jewish refugees in their old homes where old hatreds exist Or, humaney, might that it would be cruel decision which would risk exposing those Jews to further danger of violence Their days of fear should be of the past not the future.
 Heikal Pasha did not mention the Jews by name. But it is evident that he speaking of them and for the Arab League Resettlement of refugees he sad must under circumstances be imposed sovereign nation or when such resemen goes against the freely expressed wishes of the populations of this or that region"
 That then, would to be the Arab Leagues "solu ton' the Jewish refugee problem. Literally applied, 1t could close door in the world to the first victims of Naz persecution. They could be forced no sovereign nation No dependency could be compelled to admit them if anyone objected.
 In contrast there is some comfort in President Truman reiterated statement expressed in letter to Saudi Arabia King Ion Saud that he favors concerted effort to open the gates of other ands including ours o these unfor tunates" and that he will ask Congress for special egsa ton to admit number of them above present immgra ton quota limits
 It would be comforting to see some evidence of concerted effort" from other United Nations members within the LIN organization and of possible effort by the LIN to unsnarl the mudded British mandate of Palestine
 Zionist claims and the question of Jewish state in Pal estine important But it does not wise just to make all action await their settlement The first concern IS surely the health safety and welfare of the refugees them selves Until action along that line is taken the h erated Jews of Europe will continue to be the victims of their liberation
