Veterans First

Many merchants busy building up reservation
lists for scarce merchandise-lists which show the
order in which people will get automobiles, refrgera
tors washing machines and even nylons when they
finally become available. t"~ .s~I ~' - -. -
Most of these lists are based "first come, first

of list to have.
We suggest that every merchant in town tell the
veterans that they get at the head OF the line
that this is "Veterans First town. This is one
simple way by which we can all show the veterans
that still remember and appreciate what they have
done for us.

accidental A large oil company with blazing
we'll on its hands had hired him to blast away
the red-hot material surrounding the well,
preparatory to an attempt to extinguish the
fire by conventional methods. In the process
of blasting this material to bits the fire was
snuffed out
This incident set Mr. Alexander to think
ing. What had happened, he figured, was that
the fire had literally been blown out. Analyz-
ing the process bit further, he concluded
that putting out a fire, regardless of whether
that fire is from burning candle or an oil
well, consists essentially of separating the
fame momentarily from the rising column
of gas.
Discovery Solved Problem
WHEN the next oil-well fire occurred he
was ready. The new method worked perfectly.
What had always been a serious problem in
the oil fields was solved
About year later, while returning from the
East, MIR. Alexander happened to pick up
paper that told about raging oil-well fire in
Utah. The owners of the we'll had an Office in
Denver, and since the train was passing
through this town he decided to offer his
services. They had hundred men and a
quarter of million dollars worth of fire.

first man to extend welcoming hand was an
of a small shooting job. That was the begin
ming of long - and lucky - career in the
shooting business in California.
As in the East, horses were used in trans
porting the highly unpredictable cans of
nitroglycerin, except that here the horses
were called "broncs' and were almost as
unpredictable as the cargoes they hauled.
Mr. Alexander was preparing to shoot a
well one evening when without warning the
team of broncs started for the livery barn.
Nearing the outskirts of town, they were
tagged into ditch and stopped by drunk.
He climbed nonchalantly up into the drivers
seat and drove back to the field, without once
suspecting that at the risk of his own life he
had probably saved half the town.
The King of the Dynamiters is quiet man,

Chartered planes, furnished at the ex-

have rushed him and his equipment to
jobs in almost every corner of the West
ern states, Canada and Mexico.
AS in the old days, the oil fields still furnish
him with some of his trickiest assignments. In
general, there are two kinds: shooting we'll in
Evening star., 1946-05-12

There was no time to bring equipment and
men from Los Angeles. Mr.. Alexander hired
two local mechanics, and the three men
wrapped themselves in wet burlap. They ran
steel cable between two derricks on each side
of the blazing we'll To this aerial-way, they
attached 200 pounds of dynamite on a make
shift trolley. The shooting wires we're attached
and the explosive was ready to slide down the
incline.
Three thousand spectators had ringed the
field. The deadline was twelve clock. 1t was
eleven minutes to noon when the charge
started down the incline. As it reached the
base of the towering fire, Mr.. Alexander
rammed down the plunger of the shooting
box There was ground-shaking explosion,
and huge umbrella of smoke and fame
scared skyward. The fire was out.
As the crowd cheered, Mr.. Alexander
struggled out of the wet burlap. Then he
accepted an invitation to grab snack at the
nearby field cookhouse. But the cookhouse
was shambles inside - the conclusion had
cracked every dish.
Yep" says Mr.. Alexander too much
powder. A man gets little careless when
he's in a hurry. That hurry cost me fifty
bucks.
when they sent me a check, it was for
two thousand even. The lawyer had enclosed
a little note.
You will note, it said, that the enclosed
check has been made out for the amount
specified in our contract, less fifty dollars.
The deduction was made to cover the cost of
the china broken in our cookhouse.'
China, my eye! 1t was crockery - the
kind you get in beanery Some day

he told them he could put the
fire out with dynamite.
And a smart -aleck lawyer
laughed loudest and longest"
Mr.. Alexander recollects.
That made Mr.. Alexander
mad, so he tackled on an extra
$50 to his $1,000 estimate.
They accepted, agreed to
take off their crews, and gave
him "a hours to put out the
fire, on condition he post a
$1,000 check as a guaranty he
would accomplish the job.

knowledge OF lnd0Strldl hlgh explosives.
An explosive, says Mr.. Alexander, is moth
ing more than energy in the form of chemical
compounds. But there are many forms. many
types of high explosives. There are blasting
gelatins of widely varying consistencies, free
running powders used in bulk form, nitro
glycerin (still the old standby of the oil
fields in spite of its sensitivity), and many
kinds of dynamite.
Makes Accurate Predictions
In ALL of these, strength and decorating
speed differ A high rate of detonation pro-
duces shattering blow, low-density explo-
sive heaves against its burden like a man
rolling a stone with his shoulder. Knowing
the characteristics of each type of explosive,
the blasting engineer selects the right one for
particular job and can predict results with
an accuracy that is astonishing to the laynlan.
Asked about the possible use of atomic force
in industrial explosives, Mr.. Alexander says,
1T may come, but it be long time. The
usefulness of any industrial explosive is deter
mined by the degree of control. And con-
trolled atomic explosions, he thinks, will come
only after great deal of experimentation.
But Mr.. Alexander claims to be no author
ity on the military use of explosives. His
whole training has been conditioning process
in avoiding results that are the primary
objectives of the military experts. He has
never, in all his work with explosives, caused
single fatal accident and the insurance rate
for his men is lower than that paid by
house wreckers.
Mr. Alexander's most outstanding contri-
button to blasting techniques is probably his
method of putting out oil-well fires by the
use of dynamite. This discovery was purely

Teumsters And Musicians
Strikes Hit New York City

New York (FP)-New Workers re-
turned from Labor Day vacations
Sept 3 to find their home town hit
by two major AFL walkouts involv-
ing teamsters and musicians.
The trucks that usually jam the
streets of the biggest city of the
world stood idle in garages and park
ing lots as union and employer
spokesmen reported that a general
trucking strike was almost 100 per
cent effective. Only trucks rolling
with union approval were those that
carried perishable foods, drugs, army
supplies and other essential materials.
A spokesman for Local S07, biggest
of the three International Brother
hood of Teamsters locals involved,
said the tieup was not actually a
strike, but a no-contract, no-work sit
uation. The walkout, covering about
12,C00 drivers, began technically at
1901 on Sept. l when the unions con-
tract with the two employers associa-
tions expired, but the full impact was
not felt until the end of the Labor
Day weekend
The walkout stemmed from the en-
ployer's rejection of compromise
proposal by Mayor William O'Dwyer
for an 1872 cent pay increase, a s.

WFTU To Demand
More Voice In UN

Lake Success, l.. |. (FP)-The
World Federation, of Trade Unions
will demand fuller participation in
the work of the United Nations at the
opening of the general assembly here
Sept. %, WFTU secretary Gen. Louis
Saillant notified UN Secretary Gen.
Trygve Lie.
In letter to Lie that was sent a
month ago and made public here Sept.
5, Saillant said the WFTU executive
meeting in Moscow last June had de-
cided to protest the consultative
status recommended for the world
labor body by the UN economic and
social council.
The WFTU executive committee
will meet in the U. S. at the time of
the general assembly's 7-week meet
ing here and present its case for the
right to take part, without vote, in all
the deliberations of the economic and
social council
At the councils last session the
WFTU along with the International
Cooperative Alliance and the AFL
was given the right to send observers
to council meetings, to be heard by a
standing committee of the council,
and on recommendation of the COM
mittee, to participate in the discus
sions of the council

day, 40-hour week, overtime pay and
paid vacations. The union accepted
the proposal although it had asked il
80 per cent increase. The highest
counter-offer from the truck opera
tors was per cent raise.
Richard Lindner, secretary of Local
SC7's wage scale committee, said hun
dreds of kilograms from individual
employers had been pouring into
union headquarters announcing their
acceptance of the mayors proposal.
In those instances union members
members would return to work, he
said, but any general break in the tie
up would depend on the outcome of
an employers meeting scheduled for
late Sept. 3.
The other major wakout kept din
ers in so major hotels without dinner
music as members of Local S02,
American Federation of Musicians
swapped their musical instruments
for picket signs. The strike followed
refusal of hotel operators to grant
pay raises ranging from 25 to so per
cent above present scales. The owners
answered the union demand by send
ing dismissal notices to their house
bands. Although big name bands, who
play under individual contracts, were
not directly involved, they were
ordered not to cross picketlines set up
by their less famous union brethern.
AIM President James c. Petrillo
who flew in from Chicago to take per-
sonal charge of the strike announced
that eight smaller hotels had agreed
to the unions demands and also said
plans were being made to spread the
strike throughout the nation to other
members of the affected hotel chains
There are nine chains with hotels in
New York that operate in at least a
dozen other cities from coast to coast.
Plans for the big hostelries to keep
their diners and would-be dancers
happy with music by Muzak were
spiked by the union which announced
that the piped-music dealer would
boycott the struck hotels.

Standby Appeal
Reveals Danger To
Building Program

Washington (FP)-R Rumblings of
dissatisfaction among Americas 61,-
0C0 building trades apprentices at the
new income ceilings allowed under the
CI bill Of rights caused the Federal
Committee on pprenticeship Aug. "a
TO urge trainees to stay on the JOB
in spite Of drastic cut in their earn
ings.
Although no complete figures are
available, the indications are that
some apprentices are already leaving
for other jobs with higher weekly
pay, since the last-minute congress
sional slash in GI allowances puts a
ceiling of $40 a week on the single
trainee's earnings, and $40 for the
married.
Labor Dept. spokesmen told Feder-
ated Press that "a per cent Of build
ing trades apprentices are ex-service-
men, most Of whom are drawing sub
sistence allowances from the govern
ment to supplement beginning wages.
The CT bill payments helped attract
over 5000 new apprentices during
July alone, FTP was told
Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt,
the Labor Dept. said, had recently
stated the building trades could use
three times the number of apprentices
now in training if the emergency
housing program is to be carried out
on schedule. Wyatts timetable, which
he terms a minimum one, call for
2,700,C00 housing uits by the end Of
1947.
The Veterans Administration offer
ed slight consolation to veterans by
announcing that trainees keeping on
with a training course without sub
sistance allowances should notify VA
to stop counting the time against
their eligibility. This will leave the
door open for future training or
schooling, VA says.
The new limits apply to both full
time trainees and students under the
GI bill who are working on the side.
1t will not apply to disabled veterans
enrolled under Public Law 16.
