u. 5. hovejio Enjoin
Lewis Withdrawn as
Mine WaIkout Ends
By Jones Y. Newton

The Government today withdrew
its request for a District Court
injunction against John L. Lewis
ard his United Mine Workers after
the signing of a new contract ended
the week-old .walkout in the coal
mines of the steel industry.
In the coal fields UNIV locals were
going about the business of ratifying
the new agreement. Reports indi-
Gated the locals either were holding
meetings to approve the pact or, in
some instances, had received no
word of it. Full production, how
ever, was expected at the mines
tomorrow.
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough
who brought about peaceful, out
of-court settlement of the dispute
over the inclusion of a union shop
provision in the contract, permitted
the National Labor Relations Board
general counsel to drop the request
for a court order without prejudice
to renewal of the petition should
subsequent events require it,"
Union Shop Was Issue.
The walkout resulted from refusal
of the steel industry to sign the
union shop" contract and. at its
height, involved nearly fourth OF
the 100000 soft coal miners. About
10000 are employed in the steel in
dustry's captive mines and some
of the others were men at CONNER
cial mines who struck in sympathy.
The miners refused to return to
work after their annual vacation
ended July 6. because the steel
industry did not accept the con-
tract worked out by the commercial
interests.
While the request for an ipjunc-
ton was withdrawn, David P.
Finding, associate NLRB general
counsel, insisted before Justice
Goldsborough that the union shop
provision is unlawful under the
Taft Hartley Act and said he would
prosecute the case, which will be
heard by an NLRB examiner next
week.
Modification Permitted.
The steel industry finally &C
cepted the contract already agreed
to by two-thirds of the coal indus
try with the stipulation that the
union shop clause will be modified
if final interpretations by the NLRB
and the courts REQUIRE 1t.
Agreement on a contract was
worked out in Justice Goldsborough's
chambers between representatives OF
the UNIV and the steel industry
The Judge twice before had fined
Mr.. Lewis and the UNIV for
ignoring court injunctions against a
strike.
The contract quickly was signed
and the 10000 strikers were advised
to 60 back to work.
The Hartley Act requires
approval by mojority of the unior
membership before a union car
obtain the union shop. In a unlor
shop, all men hired must join thu
union after they are hired.
Mr.. Lewis cannot get such an cleo
ton because he is ineligible to us'
the National Labor Relations Boare
voting machinery since he has re
fused to sign Communist affl
davits or to submit the required
financial data about his union.
! Within an hour after justice
Goldshorough announced the settle
ment, Mr.. Lewis and Harry M
Moses, negotiator for United State'
Steel and the other operators O.
captive coal mines, signed the con-
tract. 1t makes the same con.

There has been some criticism expressed
concerning the loss of the first two games of
the current football season by the Pascagoula
High school team, which last year won the
Big Eight title and closed its season with an
unblemished record.
The criticism, of course, has extended to
the coaching staff. In view of the facts we
think the criticism unjustified and unthink-
ing.
Last years conference winning team was
the result of three years of work by former
Coach Dobie Holden, who resigned this year
to accept a position at Pearl River Junior
College, Another coach was employed to take
over Mr.. Holden's job, but circumstances
prevented him accepting at the last minute
and as aresult Coach Felix Neal came here
late in the year to take over a green squad
with whom he was completely unacquainted.
Frankly, considering all the circumstances
we think Coach Neal and his assistants have
dore a fine job, and we think the Pascagoula
team deserving of a pat on the back, instead
Of criticism for losing.
Let's look at the Pascagoula 1916 record

Why is it that the oil industry up to 1948
had invested only 3 million dollars in Pc
troleum manufacturing plants in Mississippi
compared with 500 million in louisiana
a state which produces only three times as
much oil as we?
We don't know the answer. Maybe there
isn't a good one.
But we do know that unless Mississip-
pts legislature and state officials who
s have influence In such matters get busy
to alter the situation. we soon will find
our oil resources have been depleted with
no more to show for the exploitation
than the vast timber Wristbands left be-
hind by men who cut our trses and then
shipped them away TO provide jobs for
workers In other states.
It's all right for the oil industry's publicity
experts in Jackson to brag about our record
production It's good for the world to know
we have natural resources
But we needn't become so proud of our
record rate of pumping oil that we overlook
the fact that Mississippi men looking for
work in petroleum plants still have to leave
the state to find a job.

discoveries and boasting monthly of the new
tax records being set. But that has gone on
long enough.
The time now has come for Mississippians
to look al their new oil industry from another
angle and pointedly pop the question: when
do we get some jobs?"
The exploitation of Mississippi's oil has
satrted out exactly like the massacre of our
forests several decades ago.
We know now-too late-that the blind
ness of our state officials had much to do in
the past with the waste of Mis~sissippi's great
timber wealth.
Inc unless the people Of our state wake
UP and look at their oil industry from
some angle other than one of boasting.
there is strong likelihood that Missis-
sippis black gold" will 90 the way of
her forests. contributing little to the
states critical need for industrial jobs.
Then. along with our other records. we
can list ourselves as the worlds great
est fools" for sending our oil to other
states for processing rather than using
1t to build paYrolls at home.

Miss Elmo Lindinger Hostess
At After-ReheorsoI Dinner

On Friday evening, September
"a, Miss Elma Lindinger was
hostess at an after-rehearsal din
ner honoring Miss Sue Hall.
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Julius Hall of Carthage, Miss,
and her nephew. Carl Lindinger
Jacobson, on the eve of their
wedding Saturday. Only the
wedding attendants and out-of-
town relatives of Miss Hall and
Mr.. jacobson were included in
the guest list.
Guests we're ushered into the
living room of the spacious home
which was beautifully decorated
with arrangements of pompom-
asters and coralita, where they
were received by Miss Lindinger

dinner gown of black lace and
chiffon, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Lindinger, uncle and aunt of the
groom-elect, and the groom's
mother, Mrs. c. j. Jacobson.
Miss Hall was presented with
a chest of silver, a gift from Miss
Lindinger and Mrs. Jacobson, and
a lovely string of pearls from
the groom-elect.
The dining room arrangement
and decorations were very novel
as the lace covered tables form
ed a large T, representing the
aisle and altar for a miniature
bridal party in formal and tradi-
tional wedding clothes. An anti
que revolving music box which
was covered with a miniature
spray of wedding flowers played
the Lohengrin Wedding March.
AT the head of the table, a huge
f%an-shaped arrangement, was
banked with white gladioli, asters
and greenery, thanked by hand
made crystal candelabra.
Dinner was served buffet style
with Mesdames A. M. Hardy,
Arthur Schneider and Walter
Lindinger assisting the hostess.
After dinner coffee was served
in the living room from a silver
service that had been in the
Lindinger family for more than
rs years.
Besides the hostess, those pre-
sent were Miss Hall and MI.
Jacobson, the Reverend and Mrs.
Schneider, Mrs. Jacobson. MI.
and Mrs. Lindinger, Mr.. and Mrs.
H. P. Heidelberg, Jr., Mr.. rand
Mrs. A. M. Hardy, Misses Patty

Exploiting Mississippi's Oil

In a recent issue the Tupelo Journal
painted out editorially, and underlined with
figures, the fact that Mississippi oil is going
the same route as its virgin pine timber did
many years ago.
Mississippi ranks fourth in the South in
the production of oil, and just above last in
the number of jobs provided by petroleum
plants III Mississippi for Mississippians.
Louisiana and other states are getting vir-
italy the entire benefit of our States ex-
banding oil production. Pipelines, trucks and
railroad tank cars carry out the raw product
Tor refining elsewhere. A few fortunes will
be made, but at the present rate the rank
hiJ file of Mississippians will receive no
benefit from the exploitation of a natural
resource that could and should be the fac
tor III raising the entire economic level of the
state.
Following is the editorial:
MississIppi today leads all states of the
Ssuth except Texas. Oklahoma and
fLsuisians in the production Of oil.
YSt. according to Manufacturers Rec
ord. petroleum plants last year provided
only IS Jobs In the entire state Of Missis-
Sippi.
Our ststs produces SO per cent more oil
than Arkansas. yet Mississippi provides
Jobs for only IS men In petroleum plants
while arkansas employs 2.423.
Louisiana produces only three times as
much oil as Mississippi, yet it provides jobs
for $50 tunes as many men in its petroleum
plants as does our own state.
Some may say that our lack of plants to
manufacture petroleum products is due to
the fact that we have been producing oil for
only 10 or IL years.
But Tennessee ISM even listed among the
nations % producing state. And last year it
employed six times as many workers in Pc
troleum plants as did Mississippi.
The same is true of Georgia, whose petrol
cum plants last year employed $50 men COM
pared with our 95. Yet there isn't a single
oil field in the whole of Georgia.
Why Is it that Mississippi must strain every
muscle to pump its oil as fast as possible and
then have only 95 jobs to offer its workers
IN refineries and other petroleum product
plants?

Let's Give EN- A Chance

unbeaten squad. That year we had the neu-
cleus of the eleven that won the title and
went unbeaten for the season in 1947. But
that same squad lost five and won five out
of a 10 game schedule. Pascagoula lost that
year to Biloxi, Greenville, Bogalusa, Gulf
port and Istrouma.
In the first place, we have always thought
of High school football as a competitive
game where good craftsmanship and the de-
velopment of competitive spirit are para
mount. If, at the same time, a team piles UP
a good record that's fine. Everybody
likes a winner. If it doesn't, the fans might
be disappointed, but we fail to see any rea-
son for unjustified criticism.
AS we have said before, we believe that
as the season progresses the team will de-
velop uader Coach Neal and his staff and
games will be won. Developing a winning
team can't be done overnight. Meanwhile,
we think that we should withhold our criti-
cism, give everyone concerned a chance and
look on high school football as what it should
be a sports contest between two groups
of youngsters with the primary purpose of
developing them mentally and physically.
