the same time discontinued price

selves out of work without the
necessity of striking in his be-
half. When you shut down the
coal mines for any length of time
you automatically shut down the
steel industry, the railroads, utill-
ties, mills and factories, for indus
try cannot operate without fuel
or materials with which to pro-
duce and keep men employed.
Court action is not very salts
factory in an emergency, and even
if the government were so foolish
as to throw Mr.. Lewis in Jail
they would simply be locking the
barn door after the horse had
been stolen. All this would ac-
complish would be to make Mr..
Lewis a martyr and cause the
uniting of all labor groups behind
him.
SO we find ourselves with the
President of the United States on
one hand representing 142,000,-
900 Americans, and John Lewis
representing 100000 coal miners
on the other, with reserve of
approximately 100000 organ
lied workers, pledged by their
leaders to support him if a show
down comes.
Of course the chief executive
has an Army and a Navy, Con-
gress and the Courts, but unless
you want to start civil war you
cannot use them with any degree
of success and Mr.. Lewis knows
this. You cannot mine coal with
bayonetS nor can you mine it
with sharp words, court orders or
an Act of Congress so long as a
minority group as powerful as Or
gained labor is more loyal to its
leadership than to its nations
President.
All this screaming at John
Lewis seems rather silly conSid-
erlng the fact that we gave him
his club and now we howl our
heads off when he attempts to
use it. John is smart and John
is shrewd. He sees a chance to
take over American labor and to
hell with Mr.. Green and Mr.. Muir
ray. The only thing he has to
consider is the loyalty of his mine
workers and from the way they
are standing behind him that is
no worry at all.
If John Lewis can win this
fight he knows he will be the
King Pin of American Labor and
he considers the game we'll worth
the candle. George White, Tam
pa Morning Tribune cartoonist,
hit the nail squarely on the head
with his cartoon where he pic
tured Uncle Sam crucified on a
miners pick with John Lewis
standing to one side saying,
Lets see va get off of that"

for a Merry Christmas" and a
"Scrappy New Year"

While Florida like all of the
nation would feel the effects of
q prolonged coal strike in the cur
tailment Of industrial and agri-
cultural activity, she is in more
fortunate position than most other
states, and FlOridians as individ-
uals will suffer less than the peo-
pie IT any other section.
At least Florida will eat and
FLORIDA will keep warm for our
natural resources in fruit, vege-
tables. cattle, hogs, poultry, fish,
an abundance of sunshine and, if
needed. ample fire wood should
= cold spell strike, will care for
oar needs.
Curtailment of transportation
would hit us hardest as it. would
tlmit the shipment of the largest
fruit and vegetable crop on rec
ord. and would reduce tourist
travel on the railroads although
this loss would probably be more
than offset by the arrival of great
81 numbers who would drive
South In their own cars to escape
the discOmfOrts of life in the
colder and congested areas.
While the picture isn't very
pleasant we can be assured that
millions will starve or freeze to
death throughout the nation be-
fore Florida ever feels the pinch
If genuine hunger or frostbite.
All business would suffer, of
course, and many shortages would
develop because of the lack of
transportation and commercial
fuel. Millions of workers, now
gsiniully employed, would be
thrown out of work through no
fault of their own or their en-
pl0yer, and should this happen
they have only to thank the New
Deal which fostered the govern
mental policies that brought on
this deplorable situation.
They can particularly thank
their friend Senator Pepper, who
has consistently fought every eff
fsrt To curb labor and provide the
nation with protective legislation
against the misuse of power by
arrogant labor leaders.
As this is written the outlook
for speedy settlement of our
problem Is far from encouraging.
