me I read In the papers that you
have been pushing the Republican
Party about and making decisions
for it."
Senator Taft replied seriously that
nobody can push Congress around,
they have to agree-no one can
persuade them"
"Methinks the Senator protests
too much on that" the labor leader
replied with q smile.
In reply to question as to wheth-
er he directed the miners to strike,
Mr.. Lewis replied, mo one can force
a man to go on strike against his
will. Most Of my time is spent in
ending strikes already started. The
only power / have is moral suasion. .
Mr.. Lewis did not agree with the
Senators that the country had suf-
fered deprivation" because OF
shortage of coal during the miners
strikes.
you cannot harness coo, 900 men
and say they cannot strike now ex-
cept under regulation Of Congress,
said Mr.. Lewis. you won't get men
to work in the mines under those
conditions. Our young men are not
going into the mines now"
Ball Seeks Way Out,
Senator Ball, Republican, Of Min
nesota said Congress must find
some way to limit the effects of
Nationwide strikes" and still pre-
serve, our free enterprise system
He said he was Just as much op-
posed to compulsory arbitration OF
naturalization as you are"
Mr.. Lewis accused the Govern
ment Of not living up to its contract
under which the miners have worked
since last May.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, OF
Louisiana asked Mr.. Lewis, What
would have happened to our econ
omy last November If the courts
hadn't stepped in and ended the
striker"
Nothing" replied Mr.. Lewis. 1.-THE
coal operators would have bargained
this thing out with us If the Govern
ment had allowed. The mine work
ers have no ulterior motive to hurt
the country"
Calls Question Hypothetical.
When Senator Ellender repeated
his question as to what would have
happened to the country If the
miners had stayed out on strike, Mr..
Lewis replied:
That's hypothetical question.
I can't answer 1t. You might as well
ask what would have happened in
1914 II somebody had said you were
an evil man."
Senator Smith, Republican, of
New Jersey said he was opposed
to compulsion, too, but that some
thing had to be done to prevent q

Her teacher, Mrs. Margaret Arm
strong Strickler of Kansas City, who
found" Miss Truman's voice when
the girl was 13, parried questions
about the fee.
She said, however, that it would
be fair for a singer just starting
out" though certainly not exorbi-
tant."
Miss Tr'"aan's voice range, as de-
scribed by Mrs. Strickler, Is "two

In other words she can sing the

OF every coal miner who objects.
"The Government is acting as the
muscleman." !,
Sees No Successful Law.
When Senator Aiken, Republican,
of Vermont asked him if he thought
there was any legislation which
could successfully guarantee the
continued production of COAL" Mr..
Lewis replied, II can say beyond
peradventure that there is no legis-
lation which will be successful so
long as we seek to retain our present
form of Government"
Mr.. Lewis said that in a democ-
racy he did not see how you could
compel seller to sch or buyer
to buy" and that a worker certainly
has the right to withhold his SER
vices. To change that law, he con-
tinued, Congress would change "our
form of Government"
Senator Taft asked If it would
help if Congress would impose COM
pulsory arbitration and use the
present weapon" Government seiz-
ure and court injunction to carry
out the program.
"The question u.s." replied Mr..
Lewis, do you want to take liberty
for security"
Mr.. Lewis said that he was Just
an average union man running an
ordinary union, to which Senator
Taft replied:
Are you an average man, Mr..
Lewis? I believe most unions have
many thousands of men who make
their decisions. In the coal indus
try, apparently, only you do that"
Taft's Position Mentioned.
Senator, I don't see how you
can be so wrong" Mr.. Lewis an
swered with smile. "It seems to

FOURTH TO SEE NO
.KNEE-HIGH CORN
OR WHEAT CUTTING
Farm Outlook Makes Amazing
Comeback, But Crops viii
Mature Late
Wheat Harvest, Ordinarily I'm
der Way on Fourth, VIII
Be Middle of Month

Knee high corn and wheat harvest
getting under way-usuaI accom-
paniments of the Fourth of July will
be missing from the farm picture
this year.
Altho the general farm outlook
has made an amazing comeback
during the last two weeks, crops are
maturing much later than in normal
years because of an unusually wet
spring.
Wheat cutting which started the
last week in June a year ago, viii
get under way this year about the
middle of July.
Corn Looks Good
Corn, much of which could not be
planted until well into June also is
far behind schedule but the stand
generally looks good and has made
unexpectedly rapid progress with
good growing weather during the
past week.
continuance OF favorable weather
and late frost are now needed to
avoid harvesting much "soft" corn
this fall. Soft corn-corn that's not
fully matured-is now in feeding
quality.
Soybean planting, last item on the
major planting program in this area
probably will be completed this
week.
In view of the rush to get soybeans
into the ground, plus the fact that
cutting of alfalfa is we'll under way
with the start of the haying season,
farmers viii have little time for a
holiday over the Fourth this year
unless unfavorable weather inter
feres with work in the fields.

For the fourth successive year, the
first week in July is being observed
here as a general community vaca-
tion period for industry, and for
quite few business establishments
who plan to take time off from work
this summer.
Four years ago, the community
vacation collaboration plan was
launched here as a wartime meausre,
and so successful were the results
that the procedure is being continued
this summer on an equally broad
scale.
Industry and business generally
will slow down thruout the week,
with all plants of The Triplett Elec-
trical Instrument Co. closed for a
two-weeks summer vacation period;
The Boss Glove factory closed for
one week and several retail stores,
restaurants, beauty shops, dry clean
ing establishments and other busi-
ness following suit.
Under the vacation collaboration
program, an exodus of hundreds of
residents started from the communi-
ty over the last weekend, and all ac'
tivity in the town was on a quiet
basis this week.
Among the many Bluffton people
now vacationing or planning trips
later this summer are the fol.

Mr.. ard Mrs. George Linden and
family are touring the east and plan
