The Strikers Lose, Too

Operators, consumers and others
dependent on coal are not the only
losers when John 1. Lewis calls 4
strike OF his United Mine Workers.
The strikers themselves are apt to
be, victimized by the boomerang
effects Of their own blind adherence
to their leaders dictates.
Take the two strikes for which Mr..
Lewis was responsible during the
past year, for example. It has been
calculated that the average coal
miner has lost approximately $eS2
In wages "a 4 result OF the UNIV
mo contract, no work" policy in
1856. Stated another way, the
average miner would have earned
about $3,114 this year II he had not
taken eleven weeks OF strike "vaca-
ton" Actually, his earnings will
amount to about $2,432, according to
reliable estimates.
The first walkout last spring pro-
duced two chief concessions, q vel
fare fund financed by = 5-cents-a-
ton royalty on coal produced and
an agreement by the Government
to follow National Labor Relations
Board policy on recognition Of super
visor unionisation. The lsster issue
now Is awaiting action by the Au-
preme Court. Prior to the april
strike the operators had indicated
Willingness to grant the 181a-cents-
an-hour increase which finally went
into effect. As for the welfare fund,
normal coal production would have
placed 342 in the fund for each
miner by the close OF this year. The
operators assert this is the only
direct financial benefit which each
striker gained-at = cost to him
Of SeS2.
It may well be wondered II the
individual miner--wefe he to con-
slider these figures-would contend
that Mr.. Lewis made = sound
investment for him.

TrifIina With Fire

Alt0OG8A AtlontaS WlueCOU t1O-
tel, where fire claimed the lives Of
.12o people Saturday morning, had
recently passed the city's IRE inspec-
tion test. 1t seems obvious enough
that the hotel was little more than
an officially approved IRE trap.
According to Atlanta Fire Chief
c. c. styron, most Of the deaths
in the fire resulted from AsphyxiA-
ton because smoke and fumes could
not escape from Che building Safety
vents In the elevator shafts, the
staircase and the halls would have
permitted deadly carbon dioxide gas
to escape from the buildings, accord
ing to the fire chief, but there were
no vents in the Winecoff, with the
result that fre and gasses, spread
ing horizontally through the halls,
killed scores OF guests in their
rooms. Many Of these victims might
have been alive today had the vents
been installed and the open stair
case properly flreproofed.'
Today Atlanta ofiacials are busily
engaged on 4 series Of investigations
and plans for more stringent safety
MEASURES tragic case OF locking
the door after the horse is gone.
And here In the District there is q
similar furry Of ofiicial activity-an
announcement otinvestigations and
threats to crack down on safety
violAtors. Yet there Is reason to ask
whether the District has not been
Just as negligent rs Atlanta and
to wonder whether 1t will take
comparable disaster here to produce
real results.
In April, 1910, there was 4 IRE at
the White Court Apartments on o
street which killed three people and
injured i've. There was evidence OF
faulty construction and lax inspec-
ton, and the District Commissioners
ordered a thorough probe. A few
days later the building inspector
had prepared 4 list Of IRE hazards
and It was ANNOUNCES that the bwr-
ers of unsafe properties were TO gst
1 Anal warning.
Some three years later, In Janu-
ary, isl3, there wal another fatal.
roomins house 1ire, and more
bustling around at the District
building. It was announced that
there would be strenuous" efforts
to speed up inspections, and the
Commissioners stated that estab-
lishments which did not meet safety
standards would be closed down.
Now, in 1916, we read pretty much
the same old story again. Alarmed
by the Winecoff fire, the Comnis-
sloners have ordered an immediate"
inspection OF all District hotels,
apartments and rooming houses to
insure compliance with hre safety
regulations. We also learn that the
corporation counsel's ofice is ex-
pected to start legal breakdown"
on scores OF known violAtors, and
1t Is stated unofficially at the Dis
trict Building that some Of the city's
leading hotels are not meeting
safety requirements.
How much longer ID the Nations
Capital going to trifie with Its known
fire hazards? Will there be action
now, after six years OF stallins, or
must Washington await its own
version OF the Winecoff disaster
hefnrk something Ia done?

Disseminated Teachers


recent rash OF actual and threatened
teachers strikes Is not surprising.
Unrest In this field has been de-
velopink for some time. From the
standpoint OF public education. 1t
constitutes serious problem, but
the solution u not hard to and: It
rests In the simple fact that fair
compensation ID owing to oil those
Who have made It their life's work to
instruct the young Of America.
In many communities throughout
the country, men and women teach
ers have 4 legitimate grievance on
this score. They belong to that large
company Of Americans whose earn
ings during the war remained pretty
much unchanged. The cost Of liv-
Ing rose, but their pay did not rise
with 1t. Caught between fixed In
come and inflated prices. they have
found It increasingly dificult to
make both ends meet. and no one
can blame them now for taking
active measures to improve their lot.
Statistics can be cited to show that
many q competent public school
teacher earns far less than 4 semi
skilled or even an unskillsd manual
worker. In most cases. the men and
women who have made the class
room their career have gone through
four years OF college, and good
percentage OF them have taken grad
uate courses to equip themselves
particularly well for the teaching
profession. Yet, even though they
have bachelors, masters or doctors
degrees. their pay scale not inire-
quently may be well under that Of
1 truck driver or i factory mechanic
whose formal education may have
stopped ct the eighth grade or
earlier.
Truck drivers, mechanics and sim
ilAr workers, OF course. may be fully
entitled to what they are earning
now. TO cite them as comparisons
is not to suggest that they are get
ting too much: II u merely to sug-
sest that the public school teacher
in more than few cities--is getting
too little. To be sure. the teaching
profession offers certain compensat-
Ing attractions not measurable In
cash, but these are not enough to
offset the need for some dollars
And-cents equalization. The men

work. Iafss,a7is, "a I, ~ has 7fsiss'
to expect fair pay-a salary enabling
them to meet living costs and be
reasonably comfortable.
II they do not get 1t, they are not
going to be good teachers: they are
going to sour on the Job and look
for opportunities In more rewarding
fields. Indeed, there are signs that
many Of them have already begun to
desert the profession in some areas.
Although primarily the business Of
city and State authorities, the prob
lem is OF national concern. The
public school system is 4 key part Of
our democracy, and the people who
teach in it-if they are to be OF
adequate caliber-rnust receive COM
pensation in keeping with the serv-
ices they render.

Brass Discs to' Replace Plastic Models Oi WaF Time

Postwar plans for a better world, or even a return to the normalcy of peace-timeS. will include Water bury dogs it has been disclosed by the announcement that brass dog tags will again be the vogue this year.
 During the war years, local can- ines. of which there are plenty, have been wearing colored plastic tags which unfortunately mlly dogs found delectable. Larger members of the species. in particu- far. took sly and roguish delight in chewing and swallowing the plastic tags almost as fast as their masters CD purchased them. Tags placed on the back of dog collars were easily crushed whenever the pets indulged in little back scratching and rolling.
 Mrs. Mary C. Kilmartin. Town Clerk, has announced that a re- turn to the brass tags in use up until iga2. has been effected These tags may be purchased starting Monday with May l the deadline for licensing
 Costs of the licenses are S2.00 for male or spayed dogs and S5.2s for females. not spayed. All dogs over six months old must be lic- ensed. Last eyar 2.B00 dogs were licensed in Waterbury. Dogs picked up. unlicensed. are turned over to the city pond which is a dirty trick on any dog somewhat like blaming kids for delinquency brought on by neglect of their par ents.
