Allegations from the fund are made
on a per capita basis to the Fedora
tons 700 locals. with the amount ad.
justed to avoid disprOpOrtiOnate
spending in the three areas Of great
est membership-New York. Chicago
and Los Angeles. This year each
local is scheduled to receive $9.40
per member for the first 5000 mem
bers and s1.7s per member thereafter.
Funds will be spent in employing
members Of the Federation. Last
years administrative expenses were
less than one half of n per cent.
and this policy will be adhered to this
year. Mr.. Petrillo stated. Locals may
make their own decisions on the kind
OF projects. but all events must be
free to the public. All expenditures
are audited by a well-known firm of
accountants.
The F~ederation's program last year
was praised by the Veterans Admins
tratiOn. government officials across
the country and charitable %organiza-
tions as a noteworthy public service.
In 1947 s1.444.70O was spent to pro-
vide l0.495 performances, most of
them in veterans hospitals and other
institutions, for teenage dances In
combating juvenile delinquency, and
for public concerts.
In a number OF cases co-spOnsOring
civic organizations and municipalities
provided additional funds to bring a
continued music season to their com
munities. 1t is expected that such
programs will be expanded In 1913.

deaths in the coal mines from 80 a

Coal miners reach the age of GO.
Miners are worn out and cast aside
by their industry or are killed and
mutilated on the job. Exactly the
same things happen to millions OF
men and women in other major in
dustries.

There are about 101. million people

under the social security system.
The average benefit for one person
is about $25 a month. For a coupl'
the average Is about $38.
1t was impossible to live at an,
standard OF decency on $25 a montl
back in 1910 when the pension

I. who benefit from that serv-'
ice because we live in comfort,
we owe protection to those
men first, and we owe secur-
ity to their families after-lt
they die
Now the miners are asking for pen
sions OF 500 a month for men VINO
have raised the age Of GO n nave
gone down into the mines for 20 years
OF their lives.
Would any one in his right mind
dare to say that 500 a month Is 100
much for 60 year old men who nave
worked 20 years in the dark of the
coal pits? Without pensions these
are the men who become, in Lewis
words, human wastage in the coal
industry" For a century the indus
try has followed the practice OF using
nm men and then casting them aside
to live or die"
1t is not as If the pension fund were
a new idea. The pension FUND exists.
A sun OF $29.5 million sits in the
banks idle. For nearly nine months
the mine operations have refused to
| carry out a contract and put the pen
sion fund to use.
The mine operators carried on guer
rilla warfare by sending second strint
negotiators, who had no power tt
settle anything. to deal with the UNIV
leaders. When miners individually
registered their protest by a worl
stoppage, the operators went over II
the full scale offensive by picking III
tire Taft-Hartley club.
1t seems that industrialists hav'
! more influence in Washington thai
union officials. The mine operator
prevailed on the White House TO &c
a Taft-Hartley injunction slapped o.
the miners.

What about an additional 1000, 600 acres OF irrigable land

If the Army Engineers are permitted to 60 ahead with
their grandiose mammoth reservoir, seaway and flood control
plans, isn't there a very real danger that these four upper basin
states will be forever frozen to an agricultural productive sta-
tus little greater than today?
Official Records Prove Questions Timely
These questions imply serious doubts as to the longtime
value to our valley of the Pick-Sloan plan. When the 1acts are
known-as taken from official records of the Engineers the
Bureau and the Geological Survey-are soberly reconclled,
there is reason for serious thinking on this matter OF valley
development.
Despite all claims to the contrary, the projected "mHe-
vide" seawsy Of the Engineers will take approximately
75Go Of all upper valley runoff and about 900 from Mon
tana. Wyoming and the two Dakotas. MVA Engineer Jer-
ONE G. Locke and his staff, by reconciling official records
Of the above named federal bureaus and various state
agencies. have proven beyond reasonable doubt that IT the
Engineer. r permitted to go ahead with their navigation
channel, there will be insufficient water to irrigate more
than one million acres of new land in these four states.
(See col. 3 of chart)
Short Five Million Acre Feet of Water
According to the ~Pick-Sloan plan, approximately %, 100000
acre feet of annual runoff will be required. This breaks down
~14,480,OOO acre feet for navigation channel, as approved by
Congress in 1914 in adopting the Engineers report on their
proposals for Missouri Valley development and as suDstantlat
