He reports that dairymen who are
keeping constant check on mas
tits through having samples OF
milk tested periodically at the Mas
tits Laboratory are eliminating
many mastitis TROUBLES which for
merly plagued their herds.
Dairymen who wish to submit
samples to the Laboratory for tests

Mr.. Lewis pointed to a provision

attitude. This killing must stop.
This debauched administration Of
mine safety must stop. It must be
stopped now. The American peo-
pie mllst be aroused to the stark
realities Of the situation and the
casualties of the coal industry. Coal
is already saturated with the blood
Of too many brave, men and
drenched with the tears of too many
surviving widows and orphans.
As an effective protest against
these horrors, We believe that the
industry should suspend work, medi-
tate, pray and resolve for safer
and more secure future for those
working in the coal mining industry.
Under the basic agreement which
has been continued In full force and
effect there is a provision, under
safety practices, which provides as
follows:
The international union,
United Mine Workers Of America,
may designate memorial periods
provided it shall give proper notice
to each district"
Services to Be Held.
We believe the time has arrived
when such a memorial period should
be made effective. We recon-
mend, therefore, in accordance with
our agreement that the designated
memorial period shall begin at mid
night, Monday. March 81, and end
at midnight, Sunday, April 6, 1947.
During this period, coal production
will cease and memorial ceremonies,
church services, and other exercises
should be conducted to honor our
dead and to pray to God in his in
finite mercy to provide consolation
for the bereaved families. The CO.
operation of the clergy and churches
should be invited and accepted.
1t is a sacred coincidence that the
greater part of this designated pc
riod of mourning will be during
Holy Week" Good Friday" April
4, is observed by Christians every
where in sorrowful meditation and
prayer for the suffering and cruci-
fed Christ who died for us that we
might live. During this sorrowful
period it is fitting and proper that
we join in these spiritual exercises.
The mine workers are entitled to
the reasonable privileges of all other
citizens. They are entitled to rea-
sonable protection of their lives as
they follow their vocation. Let us
hope that this period Of mourning
in which all should participate, will
realistically bring home to our cal
lous government officials and the
American people the necessity for
such protection in the future.
