seemed to know the strike was com.
ing and some stored away canned
goods and other food.
Strangely enough, most of the
miners get company help in making
ends meet during the strike. 1t is
not true at every camp, but most
of the company stores allow the
men credit in buying groceries and
other necessities. This credit
usually amounts to 81 day for
married men and $3.50 for single
In some instances the union guaran-
tees the store against loss.
The mining country is so rough
that there are limited opportunities
for gardens. But, at every turn,
the men were confident they could
hold out just as long as John L."
asks them to.
"The wild green's will be coming
up soon," a Kentucky miners wife
told us. Then there will be berries.
We will make out somehow"
Most of the people in the coal
country believe the strike will be
a long one. A leading businessman
of WEIGH predicted 1t will last until
July. Steve Nikolich, a Kentucky
tavernkeeper. who has watched his
beer sales rise and fall with strikes
through the years, commented !:
This is q mans strike" He meant

seem unanxious not only to dig coal
but to work at all.
Volunteers Fail to Work.
Illustrative of this, the president
of mine local at Stone. KY, across
the State line from williamson said
he called for volunteers to put in a
new floor in the union hall Many
volunteered. But when the ap-
pointed hour came only the record
ing secretary, committeeman and
himself showed up for work
A large group idled about the
porch of rundown recreation hall
supplied by coal company at Nc
Comas, w. Va. near Bluefield. In
side the hall there was activity at
the three pool tables, with plenty of
spectators. beer bottles in hand
Another group was in the next room
where beer and soda Is dispensed.
The same was true of the half of
the building reserved for Negro
miners.
This was our first stop at a mine
camp. Uncertain of the reception
we would get, we approached the
situation gingerly. But after an
introduction, including the unveil-
ing of a letter from union head
quarters. we were almost swamped
with attention About as many
question were asked one way as the
other. They talked readily about
the strike, their problems and few
even scurried home for pay en-
velopes to show bow many deduc-
tions the company made each week.
About Talked Out
You see, we've about talked out
these weeks" commented Robert
Hurley, young mine motorman.
There amt much left. What do
we do during the stoppage? Just
fool around like this and get drunk
at night"
Mr. Hurley and others seemed
to be most interested in a shortened
work week and a wage raise, among
Mr.. Lewis demands. They ex-
pressed considerable interest, too.
in the demand for a union health
and welfare fund.

welfare to take care of all these
charges" said one, pointing to his

Where are the mine workers?
More than 1900 are employed in
the mines about WEIGH, another

number in Harlan County and ad-
ditionsl thousands between those
areas.
How do they spend their time
during this rest" period Mr.. Lewis
prescribed for them?
They are lounging about the
street corners of every coal camp
and town, about the company's
stores or recreation halls, guzzling
beer in smoky little taverns, shoot
ing pool, pitching horse shoes, work
ing in tiny garden patches dug out
of seemingly perpendicular hillsides

The stories about Mr.. Lewis mer
going fishing are not just jokes
The banks of every fshable stream
were lined with them

There won't be any trouble there.
The village of McComas is the

Miners homes-company houses
were perched on the hillsides
above the village and along the
slopes leading to the mines. There
was another company store up one
hollow. Mine workers pitched horse
shoes beside it. Some of the houses
looked good, others were grimy and
run down.
so Per Cent in Company Houses.
No official figures were obtained
as to the percentage of McComas
miners who lived in company houses
but throughout the Southern West
Virginia fields, the figure is above
so per cent. There were abandoned
mines about McComas with people
living in the dirty houses about
them. This is big problem in the
coal regions and there are thou
sands of such novels.
Deeper into the coal fields. the
scenes of miners resting" was about
the same as at McComas. We
stopped beside a stream near WEIGH
where the men were fishing, to take
a photo and chat with them.
Fred Simons, who said he av-
erage6 $50 a week and drove a mine
mule-just as Mr.. Lewis did years
ago-was asked for his opinion of
Mr.. Lewis and the strike.
Hes all right 1 guess" he re-
piled Il don't have any kick. !

Miners Live RecklessIy.
In Pikesville, KY, $50 miles away,
things were the same. Miners
leaned against the rail about the
towns World War monument be-
side the courthouse. There was
little conversation. They, too, were
talked out. Two dogs slept by the
base OF the monument.

described it in accusing the opera
tors, made dead" through the
operators ''mismanagement, cupid
ity, stupidity and wantom neglect
." We talked to ones with
shattered bodies. We inspected
company houses and houses owned
by the miners themselves, more of
them on the shack side than good
ones, for that's the way it seemed
to be.
Full cooperation was extended
throughout the town by both the
United Mine Workers and operators.
Those on management's side were
willing for us to see the "seamy'
things along with the good of coal
camp life. They seemed to hide
nothing. The miners talked willing
ly, although few of those who lived
in novels were reluctant to show
their homes.
Strike Is Quiet.
This Is a quiet strike. a far cry
from the old days of violence and
bloodshed. There is no picketing.
Mine bosses give their lounging
workers a friendly greeting.
The mines are dead places except
for couple of maintenance men.
A row of empty coal cars stands by
nearly every tipple. The main rail
yards of West Virginia and Ken
lucky are jammed with other
thousands of empties. Railroads are
hard hit and have furloughed
thousands of men. A few cars
loaded with coal, representing the
last days output frozen" by the
Government, are still at the mines,
ready to be shipped to a point of
emergency.
All was quiet at Matewan, near
Williamson, where union and COM

City Student Heard on Air
 Borboro Egon Asks
 Political Question

Miss Barbara Egan of 235 Hill Street, a member of the Sophomore Glass at St. Joseph's College m Hartford, was heard on a nation wide broadcast last night when she asked question on the Town Meeting of the Air program in Hart ford.
 The Waterbury student addressed her question to Rep. Mike Mon roney of Oklahoma, who participat- ed in a forum with former OPA Director Chester BoWles, Sen. Owen Brewster of Maine, and Clarence J.. Brown. campaign director of the Republican party.
 Miss Egan phrased her question after the senator had stated that the Democratic party had no for eign allegiance. She asked how he reconciled that with the fact that The late Sidney Hillman had en- dorsed the Truman nomination.
 Senator Monroney replied that as far as he knew Hillman was a mighty good American" and had no foreign connections.
 The students parents, MT. and Mrs. Joseph Egan, and many local acquaintances listened to the pro- gram, which is reputed to have one of the largest radio audiences in the country.
 Miss Egan, who has just complet- ed her sophomore year at the Hart ford college, is scheduled to return here tonight for vacation of sev- eral weeks before resuming her stu dies in September.

brought many improvements in civil liberties of the Japanese people.
 The report attributed this new born freedom to the Japanese con- stitution which it said places sov- ereignty squarely in the hands of the people upon whom it bestows the full measure of human freedom. "
 The report also listed these other accomplishments:
 l. Reforms have been instituted to root out bureaucratic evils which lead to totalitarianism.
 ?. Electoral discrimination has been removed. Women have been given the right to vote, and the voting age lowered from 25 to 19 years.
 3. The four big Zaibatsu indus trial groups are being liquidated.
 4. An agrarian reform program has been instituted which will up- root Japan's fuedal farm economy and permit 100000 tenant farmers to buy the land they now cultivate.

Three Killers 

Wethersfield, Aug. 3O-(UP)-Ar- raigned at an informal hearing in the State Prison Board room be- fore Superior Court Judge Edward J. Daly, three men convicted of kill ing a prison guard during at at tempted escape in March, l945, heard the death sentence imposed today for the third time.
 Saved from the electric chair twice previously on stays of Gov. Baldwin, the men nave been sen- tenced to die Oct. 1.
 They are James J. Mccarthy, Danbury; Arthur Tommaselli, New Haven, and Raymond LeWie, New Britain, who two days ago lost a Supreme Court application for re- argument of their motions for ap- peals.
 The three were convicted of the bludgeoning death of Herbert O. Parsell, when he locked himself in a workshop room with the men to prevent their escape.
