on the question of whether Cubage

competition would somewhat dilute
the uncritical disposition OF the
miners to exalt, unduly, their leader
and would-be martyr, John L. Lewis.
1t Is true that our industrial econ
orny would suffer Until 1t could be
readjusteds to these proposed new
conditions. but not to the extent
that 1t has suffered each time that
the miners have chosen to stay at
home or "go hunting" because there
was no contract, or because Mr..
Lewis District No. SO would not per-
NIT Mr.. Lewis miners to work, or
because 1t was Sunday, or Tuesday,
or Friday.
It Is to be hoped that out of this
latest unfortunate and unnecessary
experience.the Government will have
learned that never again, unless as
an imperative necessity In time OF
war, should 1t succumb to the willy
maneuverings of Mr.. Lewis and take
over the coal mines of the country
And since the incredible John r
Steellnan seems to have been re-
sponsible for the humiliating expert
ence from which the Government
has, SO far in vain, been trying to
extricate itself, the country would
Evening star., 1946-12-02


Our minimum needs can be met
with strip-mine production. United
States Army Engineers or Seabees
could, with proper mining engineer
supervision, operate the strip mines
With necessary equipment and ex-
pert supervision, plus increased per-
sonnel land surely the Government
could provide more than 81 600 mem
the strip mines might well increase
their output from 100000, 900 to at
least 125 900, 900 tons of coal annu-
ally.
Add to this total the production
Of the mines manned by the Pro-
gressive Mine Workers of America,
and the coal savings that might be
readily effected by the utilization
Of the Big Inch and Little Big Inch
pipelines for natural gas, and this
Nation could, with proper econo-
mics, maintain its railway and
utility services with only mini
mum of handicap.
Utilities Could Use Coal.
Strip-mine coal Is not as general
ly utilitarian as certain deep-mine
Goals, to be sure, but it can be
used by utilities and railroads. If
these two biggest coal users would,
as they could, reduce their needs
and make a more sagacious use Of
coal, neither would find 1t neces-
sary to curtail operations to seri-
ous degree.
Evening star., 1946-12-02

The Government should proceed
to prepare a blueprint of the coal
that 1t can produce from strip mines
and from mines worked by other
than United Mine Workers. 1t
should also compute the amount of
coal that would be the equivalent
of natural gas made available by
the pipelines and from the develop
ment of the st. Lawrence Water
way and other hydroelectric power
projects.
The mere threat of such a pro-
gram would cause Mr.. Lewis, who is
like cock who thought the sun
had risen to hear him crow" to
lose some Of his donineering arro-
gance.
At the present time, the railroads
require 5000 900 tons of coal an
nually; the utilities 72,000, 900
Surely these two totals could be
reduced. The Government, allow
ing John L. Lewis to strut his puny
stage, could, without great expense
or dislocation, produce that much
coal or equivalent power, and more.
A bountiful nature has laid much
coal near the earth's surface that
the Army's engineers and road
builders could strip for the Nation.
Let's have them get it.
Members Of the United Mine
Workers of America could be taken
over as Government employees. Fail
ing this, other labor could readily
be found, because strip mining is
more akin to road building or canal
digging than it is to traditional coal
mining.
u. S. Should Pay Top Wages.
The Government should pay the
highest wages available to members
of the United Mine Workers OF
America in appropriate categories,
while the conditions Of work, hours
of employment and sanitary and
safety devices could, as they should,
conform to the highest standards.
Then, when Mr.. Lewis insisted
that his miners should cool their
heels for four months, or eight
months, he might be permitted to
have his humane way. 1t is just
possible that the existence Of actual

Now, I take Readers Digest my
self, as apparently do all of my
friends in Spain, Portugal, Sweden,
Finland, and those who speak
Arabic. I like to have 1t around
the house. But please consider for
moment what would happen If
all the people who send presents
on Christmas would take this card
seriously and act upon it.
To begin with, it would change
the whole complexion OF Christmas
Day. There would be no gaily
wrapped packages in the house or
under the tree. There would be no
tissue paper or cord underfoot.
Also, no one would be sulking on
Christmas Day because of some Of
the presents he had received. Every
one would be happy with his gifts,
and that Just wouldn't be Christmas,
Can Only Read Them.
Another thing, one Readers Di-I
gest is all right, but 80 or 40 Of
them arriving every month would
be too much. And there isn't a
great deal you can do with a
Readers Digest except read it. You
can't entertain visiting children with
1t by letting them look at the pic
lures.
1t isn't much good for starting
fires as the pages are too small
1t certainly can't take the place OF
neckties, which SO many of us count
on getting at Christmas time. A
man who went out with Readers
Digest wrapped around his neck
would be considered daffy. And the
lady folk, who always get lot of
stockings at Christmas, couldn't use
the Readers Digest in place of
nylons.
No, I'll continue to take ties I
don't like, shirts with sleeves too
long, and necks too small, shaving
lotion, handkerchiefs, bedroom slip
pers, and the like.
