Steel Hard Hit
The unauthorized work stop
pages which already affected the
steel industry and coal-hauling
railroads began in Alabama and
Southwestern Pennsylvania last
Monday only a few hours after
the U. S. Senate had over ridden
President Humans veto to pass
the labor law.
Walkouts spread swiftly through
most of the richest producing
areas, cutting production to about
half of a normal 1000, 900 tons
daily. Late today there were
IS, 900 idle in Pennsylvania alone.
A substantial proportion of these
idle miners work in steel firm
pits, called "captive" because the
entire production goes into steel
making
Even federal authorities we're
unable to ascertain how close the
nation is to a fuel crisis. The
latest federal report, made last
May l, showed only a 33-day sup
ply for current industrial and do
mestic needs.
The steel industry, straining ca
pacity in record peace-time op-
erations, was unable to build up
big reserves. Federal mine safety
closures, followed by the unions

after the C~entralia, ILL.,, disaster,

Court Trials
"After many months Of minute
investigation by agencies of the
state, there were brought charges
that l had not satisfactorily ex-
planned to them items of expendi-
lures totaling $18, 1864 during the
10 years of my administration
upon which I was indicted after
being exonerated by the board OF
trustees following three full days
of open hearing. At the first trial,
which lasted eight weeks, Judge
Clawson Williams threw out nine
of the is counts of the bill Of in
dictment, and there was a mis-
trial on the seven remaining
counts. At the second trial, which
lasted IL weeks, the jury acquitted
me of all the count except two,
and these amount to So, 745. 80.
"My attorneys were convinced
that I would have been cleared on
these two counts had I appealed
the case. I did appeal but when
1 learned that there would of nee
essity be a long wait before I
could be brought to trial, I with
drew my appeal. Certain news
papers have insisted that l lost
the appeal and that the counts on
which I was convicted amounted
to $4,000 These are only two of
the many items distorted by the
papers.
