Lewis Convicted

LIE JuuSmeHt ttlaG JONI -. LEWIS
is in contempt of court was in
escapably dictated both by his own
brazen defiance of Justice Colds
borough's restraining order and by
the logic of the larger proposition
that no citizen has legal right to
trample upon the welfare of the
people Of this country in pursuit Of
any objective of his own.
Presumably the Judgment will be
appealed. by counsel for Mr.. Lewis,
and when that is done the Govern
ment representatives should avail
themselves of their statutory right
to apply for an immediate review
of the case by the Supreme Court.
Our national economy Is breaking
down because Mr.. Lewis refuses to
direct his miners to dig coal. Thou
sands of men are losing their jobs
each day and whole communities
are on the verge of running entirely
out of coal. Within few weeks,
or at best a few months, the coal
strike will plunge this country into
depths of misery and suffering such
as it has never known before. In
the face of such a prospect the
Supreme Court cannot remain aloof.
The legal authority for a speedy
review of the issue exists and 1t
must be used.
Even II Justice Goldsborough's
ruling should be promptly sustained
by the Supreme Court, however,
there remains the possibility that
Mr.. Lewis will persist in his defiance
of the courts. That possibility is
set out between the lines OF his
address of yesterday to the court
an address in which he appeared to
be saying that he would obey no
judicial order which In his Judgment
deprives the miners "of rights guar
anteed in the Constitution"
Mr.. Lewis began by quoting an
excerpt from a resolution adopted
by the American Federation OF
Labor in 1913 time when injunc-
tions were being used unjustly
against labor. That resolution
declared that the AFL would treat
all injunctive DEGREES that invade
our personal liberties as unwar-
ranted in fact, uniustifled in law
and illegal as being in violation OF
our constitutional safeguards, and
accept whatever consequences may
follow"
Declaring that that is still the
policy of the AFL, Mr.. Lewis went
on to say that he is more than ever
persuaded of the correctness OF his
original decision to disobey the
restraining order, and that i can
not, by action or by inaction,
acauiesce in what must be described
as the ugly recrudescence OF gov
ernment by injunction.
If this means anything 1T means
that Mr.. Lewis is saying that he
will not obey the order, even II
sustained by the Supreme Court.
Wholly contemptuous of the rights
of others, he now asserts for himself
a right to interpret the Constitution
and the laws as he sees fit and to
govern himself accordingly, regard
less of the consequences to the
Nation. That is the real issue in
this case, and it is an issue which
cannot be evaded by compromise or
surrender. Mr.. Lewis says, in effect,
that he is the law, and 1T is essential
that he be taught to the contrary.

Some 100000 obedient men, led by a
willful leader, are now by way not only
Of pluneins their own country into, an
economic catastrophe but also acting in
. manner that may change the social
and political structure Of Europe.
This, in essence, Is fair summing up
OF the present United Mine Workers
strike.
The heavy wounds John 4. L0wis is
infiicting on this country's economy pos
sibly can be healed without much difit-
Guilty because Of the strong recuperating
power Of the United States, But the
effects of the strike on the sickiy and
debiIitated body Of Europe may be ir-
reparabk.
The Russian imperialism has been
established only In countries which were
occupied by the Red Armies. There,
governments have been imposed by Mos
COW with the backing OF Russian bay
onets. But even behind the Iron curtain
. large mass OF the population was look
ing to the United States rs = poseible
source OF better times. The prcpaganda
describing Uncle Sam as sickly and
greedy old man was frequently dts
counted. To many OF these people who
organized, on their own initiative,
powerful undergrounds Uncle Sam stili
appeared as q knight In arinor.
y y
on the other side Of the iron curtain,
the largest countries, Italy, France and
Britain, are still subjected TO strong
propaganda barrage. In italy, the Com
munists led by Palmiro Togliatti have
made little progress even among the
workers In the Industrial northern sec
tion Of the country, Togliatti,s fine
words were discounted 70 long as Amer
ican ships were bringing. in coal, the life
nerve Of the italian industry, which
enabled the factories partially to resume
their activities. The Italian workers
have had enough Of dictatorship and
enjoyed the limited activities of their
factories which enabled them to earn
even scant living.
In France, the Communists headed by
Maurice Thorez made important political
gains at the last elections, but heretofore
were compelled to proceed carefully with
the Endorsement OF Moscow's totalitarian
doctrines The strongly individualistic
farmers and some of the middle classes
which voted Communist because the
other parties had no real constructive
program to offer, would quickly detach
themselves from the Thorez group II
they suspected a curtailment OF their
individual freedom.
In Britain, there Is somewhat similar
situation. For the hrst time in history
important British labor groups are fol-
lowing the French.
But so long as America was produc-
ing and either giving or selling the es-
sentials Of life to the desperately needy
Europeans, there was more or less

Letters to The Star
Wants More Equitable Taxing
For School Support


10 the Editor Of The star:
IN your issue OF Sunday, November II.
there was an article headed Fairfax,
Va, wherein Mr.. Woodson, superin-
tendent Of schools Of Fairfax County.
was quoted as saying that the schools
needed more money and while he knew
that taxes on property were high. II
he had anything to do with 1t, they
would be much higher.
y But cannot understand why Mr..
Woodson thinks property should bear
the burden OF educating the children
of the county.
have in mind farmer and build
ing mechanic, who are neighbors. The
farmer, in addition to his home. has
land, stock and equipment, buildings
to house sane--with which he makes 4
living for himself and family, and
which probably is assessed for about
5000. The mechanic, In addition to his
home, has chest Of tools on which he
probably is assessed about $50. Can
Mr. Wcodson tell any one why 4 man.
just because he makes his living on q.
farm. should pay over 800 more towards
the education Of his children than the
mechanic9 The latter should be imam.
cially able to pay as much as the farmer.
Both receive the same service.
This is not an isolated case. Dupii-
Gates OF 1t can be found all over the

Britain Never in Danserp
To the Editor OF The Star.
Your editorial, "If IT Had Happened
is q masterpiece OF wishfuI thinking
France fell on the 10th day Of June.
1910. Eighteen days later the Russians
seized Bucovina and Bessarabia. Then
Hitler knew that his temporary truce
with Stain was merely stop-gap to
see who would strike the first blow. Had
Hitler thrown his army into the British
Isles, the Russian Army could haye been
In Berlin by the time the conquest of
Britain was completed. Never ut any
time were the British Isles In serious
danger Of being invaded. Any state
ment to the contrary Is not borne out
by historical evidence. Prime Minister
Attlee's account of Historical inpor-
tance" is misleading and meretricious.
The general opinion seems to be that
II Russia had gone down, there would
have been other years and other battles.
Had the British gone down, then ''civili-
zstion" would have been In mortal dam
ger. Exactly the reverse Is true. Had
the Russians gone down the war indeed
would have been lost. Had the British
gone down. it would have meant the
taking of the island outpost, serious
but not necessarily fatal loss. Had the
japanese thought that Russia was going
down they would have invaded Siberia
at once. No such event occurred. The
high point OF the German effort was
November Of 1912. finding the Germans
at stalingrad and Fl Alamein and To-
bruk. The Germans lost their major
striking forces between Smolensk,
Taganrog. Orel and Rhzev.

Importing Miners Proposed

Importing Miners Proposed
To the Editor Of The star:
Do you want to know how to get coal7
The answer Is simple, and 1t wouldn't
take more than two OF, three weeks. All
Uncle Sam has to do is invite some
2O0,0O0 skilled German coal miners to
come over here and work under fair
and decent contract.
Why not? II the coal miners. are dis
satisfied, this is free country with q
labor shortage; they might be happier
in some other employment and John
G. Public, now damned to yassalage by
a well-known individual, would get coal.
AS for the German miners, their joy
at chance for decent living would be
a part OF our reward. ENOUGH.
Strike Issue Simplifed
To the Editor of The Star:
II is civil war! John L, Lewis versus
Uncle Sam! A few of us versus all OF us!
Congress should be summoned at once!

Praises Book About Ideas

Praises Book About Ideas
To the Editor az The Star:
! am sure your readers would be in
terested In book which recently has
been published entitled 'sTdeas Have
Legs" by Peter Howard, q well-known
British political columnist. This book
contains the recipe for building house
with home inside 1t. The most cher
ished desire of every American home
maker is to build that kind of spirit
into family life. But through petty mis-
understandings and selfishness, the goal
sometimes Is missed. Ideas Have Legs"
also shows the kind of influence sound
home life can have on the nation apd
world we viii have In the future.
This is the story of the next 20
years and the part that each of us has
in it. De Witt Mackenzie wrote in the
foreword OF the American edition that
during his recent tour Of Germany he
found that the ravages caused by the
ideas that were on the march In that
country and throughout Europe were
fierce. He says: what is true Of
Europe as regards spiritual and moral
chaos is true in many parts Of the
Orient. Unhappily 1t also is true that
the tidal wave which has hit the Eastern
Hemisphere has piled against the shores
of the western world. Here in our own
United States there Is much confusion
of thought and pulling at cross purposes.
In that lies danger
Peter Howard tells us in ideas Have
Legs how this world sickness can be
cured. He isn't theorizing but is re-
lating the fascinating story of how he
and his faithful doe worked out al this
in their own lives. It Is a remarkable
human document"
Every man and woman who reads
these words will find this book valuable
and interesting reading, for it is a book
which dares to look into the future with
realism and confidence and has the re-
freshment of valid hope.
