Common Sense on Coal

WASHINGTON, Nov 23-lNEAD-The announce policy Of the Government is that it wii smash John L. Lewis What does not seem to be realized is that in smashing John L. Lewis the Government can also smash the coal operators shut down all business when the country needs full production and cause the gem eral public awful lot of suffering
 White House-approyed decision made by Coal Mines Administrator J. A. Krug is that the only issue in todays coal crisis is to make John L. Lewis keep his contract with the Government So intent has the administration been on this one principle tna IL nas apparently failed to get from Lewis clear statement of his demands or what changes he wants m e eAlst ing Krug Lewis contract.
 This is utterly ridiculous. It should be apparent to even third-grade moron that the first thing to do in any labor difficulty is to find out what the grievances are Krug has refused to listen to them
 The second thing to do IS to discuss the grey and bargain collectively Krug has refused 10 bargain.
 His position is that any changes in the contract must be taken up with the coal operators. the real owners of the mines
 Krug may be on firm ground in wanting to get the mines out from under Government operation. But in this present instance. the mine operators are not even party to the contract
 Perhaps the silliest aspect of this whole situation is that the real owners of the coal mines now sit heplessy the sdenes. caught in the strange-holn deadlock between the Government and Lewis
 That this line Of action is heading the Govern ernment into trouble should be tairly obvious. Cap Krug would be a national hero if he could lick John L. Lewis But Krug runs great risk of breaking him self in the process When the country starts brown outs and keeping the temperature down to 60 to save coal some other authority will have to step in and take over the negotiations.
 Whether this is Reconversion Director John R. Steelman, or the President himself, doesn't matter The important point that before this thing can be settled. somebody is going to have to sit down and do little direct. over-thetable collective bargain ing.
 That President Truman and Doc Steelman are both n Florida this critical week doesn't help the

We can imagine the emotions of the QuOnsethut dwell ers the mothernaw guests and all the thousands of ar red homeless hopeless househuners when they read that 100000 rental units stand vacant today in what threatens to become a nationwide property owners strike
 This edfyng bit of from the National Apart ent Owners Association convention in Oklahoma City The benevolent delegates didn't suggest evictng tenants but they urged that when units become vacant they be locked and kept vacant.
 One speaker was quoted saying, 'rhe only way we can get back control of property which has been con- scated by the OPA is to fight and fight hard So some owners proposed to fight by starting "strke which would nnrnte an already impatient public perhaps violence nd property damage and course leave the OPA entirely untouched.

 MT. LaGuardia laid abundant evidence of the eed for continued relief Europe before the General ssembly The success of the United Nations depends pon it.
 'aThe members of the United Nations today can .ot afford to see conditions ln the world whereby half of the people are well fed and half are hum rry" he said 'sThe United Nations as an organiza- ton has no possible hope of success unless there an increase in political stability throughout the world Political stability will be achieved unless he essential needs of these people in the less for unate countries are met"
 On his visit tO Russia, Mir LaGuarda got assur- nee from Premier Stalin that his country would go dong on the international basis His talks in London ave him hope that Britain also would go along.
 Some of the load formerly carried by UNRRA in rehabilitation of agriculture and industry can be carried through loans by the International Bank Of Reconstruction if it gets into effective operation soon
 The LaGuardia proposal for continued interna- lonal cooperation food would be through United Nations food emergency fund administered by an executive board composed of nations nominated by ed should review its operations in not less than year that it could decide whether further action you'd be necessary in the i947-48 Winter
 The organization would be a small and tight one. No country would be permitted to contribute more than 49 percent of the fund. Some countries probably will be able to make contributions of com modites.

situation in the least While the Presidents press secretary is putting out from Key West courageous statements that the President is in full command of the situation. in this the headquarters SO far from the front line they don't know whats going on.
 What the President may or nay not realize is that he can be the worst suffered if a coal strike develops First the operators will blame him their properties shut down and they start losing money Then the public will blame him when it starts getting cold. If the Government puts John L. in jail, or penalizes him in any other way union labor will pack him up to man.
 There is stn time to save this situation if a little common sense is used. One' proposed solution that deserves some consideration is that the Government now make revised contract with the miners, effec- tive to March 3 ls47. provision in this contract could be clause that the contract going into effect after next April must be negotiated between Lewis and the operators.
 Rather than have their properties shut down now the mine operators could reasonably be expected to prefer having the Government grant some wage con- sessions to Lewis then boosting the price of coal to cover the difference.
 The real truth of the matter Is that Lewis's de- mands may not be as exorbitant AS they have been rumored to be. He is known to want a shorter work week He wants the right to discuss the meaning of the contract instead of being subjected to unilatera interpretations handed down by the Government.
 He wants some of the chiseling operators to quit robbing his welfare fund by bootegging coal away from the mines in wagons instead of hauling 1t out in cars and weighing 1t for royalty.
 Lewis is perhaps much to blame as the Coal Mines Administration for not publishing his wage de- maFlds But as long the Government refuses to discuss them Lewis is mGey being smart in refusing to state them. The public however. has right to know Then H has the right to expect its servants the responsible Government officials to sit down and bargain.
 When the Government decides to lick John L.. Lewis. h must be prepared for a six-months strike It is not prepared for that now. Next Spring might be different.

NEW DEAL CASUALTY

President Roosevelt and with the

overwhelming defeat to Mr.. Day.
Mr.. Roosevelt carried Illinois that
year with lead of 141 ,165 over Gov

entirely to the huge plurality of 4l7,-

Republicans carried the down.

Vote Will be Tighter.
A number of things operate in
favor of a Stratton victory. In the
first place, this is an off year elec-

lighter than it was in 1914. There
is no Roosevelt heading the ticket
or in the White House to give the
Democrats a boost. The general

With Others, Clayton Says

The United States must be will

nations to promote world recon-

of State William L. Clayton said
last night.
"We must share our food, our
clothing, our coal, our construction
and transportation equipment-in
fact, almost everything in the die

an interview for an NBC broadcast.

What happens in regard to the
Negro vote this year will hold great
significance, not only in Illinois but

Results
Awaited in Probe
OF Goering Suicide
By the Associated Press

NUREMBERG Oct. 19.-An Allied
commission investigating the nys-
terious suicide of Hermann Goering
is awaiting the results of laboratory
tests b9zore announcing Its findings
Col B.aC Andrus, in charge of the
Nuremberg jail, said today.
Col Andrus, who met with the
commission during the day, said he
doubted if the findings would be
made public before Tuesday
The prison officer disclosed that
the 10 ranking Nazis who were
hanged early Wednesday morning
were told officially that Goering had
managed to cheat the gallows by

the notice to be given to the con-
demned men and instructed the
chaplains to tell them they were

chaplains to tell them they were not
being subjected to indignity.'
Meanwhile, individual guards were
removed from the doors of the cell
of Rudolf Hess and six other former
Nazi leaders sentenced to prison
terms ranging from 10 years to life.
Col. Andrus said the seven would
be treated as ordinary prisoners and
would be able to earn certain privi-
leges by good behavior.
The officer said that 174 prisoners,
ranging in rank up to field marshal,
were now being held in the Nuern-
berg Jail awaiting trial on war
crimes charges.
Rosenberg Hoped for Peace.
Alfred Rosenberg, official Nazi
philosopher who once preached that
war was godly and Germans the
chosen of the god of conflict, ex-
pressed the hope shortly before his
execution that Germany would be-
come peaceful.

Message Sent to Wife.
Rosenberg asked his lawyer to
advise his wife and daughter about
business affairs and, if possible, to
arrange their transfer from Flens-
burg, in the British occupation zone,
to Bavaria, in the American zone.
Thoma said he had not yet de-
livered the message to Rosenberg's S
wife and dreaded doing SO because
she was so unfriendly.

her his tobacco ration because she
smokes a pipe. the lawyer said.
