Spain Protests Link
With b. 5. Aid ParIey
Bv Nthe Associated prexx

MADRID, July 5.-Education
Minister Jose Ibanez Martin said
today the Spanish government had
protested to the British Foreign
Office against mixing the name of
Spain" in the recent three-power
Paris conference on Secretary of
State Marshall's proposal for aiding
Europe.
The communique issued by the
British and French foreign minis
ters Thursday, after the conference
in which Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov withdrew, said that "all
European states, with the provi-
sional exception of Spain" had been
invited to participate in replying to
Gen. Marshall's suggestions. A
French Foreign Office spokesman
said the phrase meant that Spain
would be excluded "as long as Spain
has her present form of govern
ment."
Tie Spanish education minister,
reporting on last nights cabinet
meeting, told a news conference
that the foreign minister reported
to the cabinet the failure of the
Paris conversations for application
Of the Marshall plan for Europe and
on impertinent illusions made there
concerning a hypothetical partici-
patton of Spain.
The cabinet decided to present
an energetic protest note to the
(British) Foreign Office against the
unusual act of mixing the name of
Spain in matters in which our coun-
try was not asked to intervene" he
said.E

wage of the miners-from $1.1S1z tt
little over s1.63 an hour.
They also agreed TO double theil
contribution to the unions welfare
fund. The present fund take" Of
five cents per ton on all coal mined
will be increased to 10 cents.
Likewise the Northern and steel
interests accepted the terms of the
Federal Coal Mine Safety Code
which sets up the standards Of
safety the mines must meet in or
der to operate. They agreed to
recognize the bargaining rights OF
the thousands, of mine supervisory
employees which Mr.. Lewis already
has enrolled in his union. On his
part, Mr.. Lewis agreed not to take
into the union any foremen who
are not members now.
Mr.. Lewis won an eight-hour
workday including half-hour paid
lunch period and paid time for trav-
cling from the mine entrance to the
work face, which averages over the
country about an hour per day. In
other words, the miners actually
will work 61a hours day, for which
they will receive $1305. Parts OF
days, daily overtime and Saturday
work will be paid at time-and-a-
half of the new hourly rate of $l.63
Safeguards Are Barrier.
Some of the safeguards from pen
alties of the Taft-Harley Act which
Mr. Lewis has demanded were said
to be stumbling blocks in the draft
ing of the new contract.
Mr.. Lewis also was said to be in
sisting on further concessions in the
supervisory worker controversy. He
wants more of the supervisors.
In addition, heated argument
developed over the administration
of the union welfare fund. which
under the new take" will aggregate
nearly $4,000, 900 per year.
One operator explained the diff
culties which have arisen in draft
ing the contract in this way:
There are a lot of minor issues
which cannot be covered in gen.
eral type of agreement we had with
Mr.. Lewis. Individually. these de-
tails may not amount to much. But
taken as a whole the cost of them
will be large to the industry. Mr..
Lewis has a gun in our sides and he
Is out to get everything"

operators who are working with the
union officials on a new contract
represent about 40 per cent of the
Nations production of coal. They
have taken the initiative all the way
and several days ago announced an
agreement, tentative and in princi-
pal, had been reached with the
miners.
Adding further to the hope of a
complete industry accord, George
F. Campbell, chief representative of
huge Illinois coal interests, an
nounced that he would accept the
agreement being worked out by the
operators for the steel companies
and Northern operators.
Expects to Sign Contract.
unless the Northern contract
is worse than its advance notices
and that's bad enough-I expect to
sign in behalf of the Illinois pro-
ducers," Mr. Campbell said.
II certainly hope to see the 1lli-
nois mines reopened on Tuesday
when the mine vacations ends"
Mr.. Campbell's group employs
about 10000 miners. 1t was believed,
also, that the Indiana operators,
employing about 10000, would sign
up quickly when the new agreement
is completed. Steel company and
Northern Appalachian mines en-
ploy about 10000 workers.
The United Mine Workers $50
member Policy Committee was
scheduled to meet yesterday to act
on the new contract, business
which was little more than a for
mality after the terms we're drawn
to the satisfaction of Mr.. Lewis.
When the new bitches in drafting
arose, the meeting was postponed
until 2:30 pm. today.
Already Has Major Demands.
Mr.. Lewis already had won his
ma jor demands from the steel and

Two Washington area residents
today were on record as having OBJ
served the mysterious flying
saucers" hereabouts.
A Bethesda (MdD man was re-
ported to have seen three or four
of these objects at midnight Friday,
while in the vicinity of Friendship
Heights, Md. They were described
as being rapid, blush and bright,
travelling northward.
Mrs. Martin Kole, 1902 Valley
drive, Alexandria housewife, said
early Friday she saw large round
object floating in the southwest
sky. She declared a light shining
in her face awakened her about 4
am. She went to the window and
saw something round and large with
a reddish tinge. 1t seemed to be
standing still. After looking at it
a few minutes, Mrs. Kole' said she
returned to bed.

PRICES AND PROFITEERING

The rise in food prices since the end of OPA has frequently led charges of profiteerin9 by industry These charges are now being repeated by many per sons The staff oi the Joint Committee on the Eco homie Report has included some very interesting figures dealing with this problem in its recent survey of 'Fcod Prices Production and Consumption" A survey of the financial data for ten large processing companies revealed that profit margins were rela- lively small Thus in 1946 the net income before taxes of these companes 55 per cent of sales, as compared with 46 per cent in 194O. Profits after taxes accounted 31 per cent of sales in 1946 as compared with per cent in 1940. The report con- cludes that of the dollar increase in profits is accounted increased dollar volume of business rather than by increased profit dollar of sales
 Similarly study of the profits of eight large retail food distributors revealed that net income be- fore taxes was 29 per of sales in l946, com pared with 9 per cent in l940 Profits after taxes aggregated 7 per cent of sales in 946, compared with Is per cent in the pre-war year. In light of the foregoing data, it is easy to understand the con- cuson that "as profits reflected in the preceding tabulations it would appear that complete removal of them would not appreeably affect the total price of food to the consumer
 While individual instances of proteering have probably occurred, there is little to believe from the available data that this has been factol of any importance in the sharp rise in food prices The increase in demand for domestic and export pur- poses has far outstrpped the increase in physical sup plies since before the with the consequent pres for higher prices Who has received the benefit of these higher prices? According to this study the received 40 per cent of the food dollar before the while by March 1947. this proportion had increased 56 per After surveying other ndices

Herzog's Rule
Washington Post)

"Completslv right answers are rarely available in
 So human and dynamic field as labor relations said Paul II Herzog, chairman of the NLRB, in address
 in New York recently But there are such things as
 better answers and ones. It is the duty of a public official to try to find the better ones, for how ever sont the difference may be between the two
 that difference can be extremely important" Prob ably we have here better guide than any other that has been given as to what the NLRB is likely to do when the question to the anti-Communist clause Of the Taft-Hartley Act comes before it.
 The law clearly requires that the officers of local and national unions file affdavits to the effect that they are not Communists advocates of the violent overthrow of the Government before the NLRB can conduct elections handle unfair labor charges at their request But il does not make clear whether unions lose their standing before the NLRB if officers of a national labor federation with which they are affiliated refuse to file statement disavowng Com munism In ruling that the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations within the scope of this provision think Robert S. Denham NLRB general counsel, chose the worse instead of the better one Where a choice was clearly open, he took the interpretation that tends hamstring operation of the aw-to deny it's benefits to millions Of wage earners because enc man may refuse to swear that he is not a Communist
 The five members of the NLRB are known to have discussed the Denham ruling, and indications are that majority of them have found it inimical 70 effective administration of the act. They will soon have chance to overrule MT. Denham when the petition of the International Brotherhood of Elec rical Workers for certification of bargaining rep comes before the board MT Herzog quite properly refused in his speech recently to indicate what the decision will be. But since the board is pledged to give the act the fairest and most offecient administration within their power prompt reversal of Mir. Denhams ruling may be sonaby anticipated Indeed, the essence of fair ad MT Herzog implied lies in interpreting statute that is experimental in nature and times vague in language so as to make it workable

Who's On Trial?
(Editor and Publisher


 A Newspaper Week address by John $. Knight befpre the Chicago Federated Advertising Club in- cluded these pertinent words:
 There is a subtle campaign under in this to discred the press and render it less able to defend minority rights. Perhaps have failed to do good selling job just as l suspect the ad- vertsing profession must confess in its more candid moments that it has failed somehow to sell the capitalistic system to people.
 For one, grow exceedingly weary of hearing how the capitastic system is trial. On trial for what?
 Has any other system accomplished as much or provided better standards of living?
 Why isn't socialism on trial in England CT Com munisn in Russia and her satellite states?
 If capitalism is through why asked te provide the food the money and the tools to rebuild Europe? Thoughtful Americans should be guard against the nsdious efforts being made to discredit system that has been responsible for this nations continued growth and progress"
 We've said it all before in E6P, but Mir Knight says it better IL should be said often in editorial columns.
