Just Who Is Labor?

Some editorial writers who profess to believe that the
Taft-iartley Act is just simply wonderful have written
new theme song which they probably will sing from
til election day in November.
They haven't given it title yet but it goes like this:
Union leaders don't represent labor.
"The workers - the good, honest-to-God American
workers. that is-think TIL is fine law but the
bosses oppose because it threatens their strangehod

Now, really doesn't that raise an interesting point?

Five Western Europe nations are
setting ready for new talks on how

rope The five nations involved
are Britain. France. Belgium. The
Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Representatives OF these nations
will meet in Paris tomorrow.
Britain is due to tell her part
ners in the Brussels Defense Al
lance that a Western European
Parliament can't be worked out in
the immediate future. France and
BELGIUM have suggested such a
Western European consultative
parliament,
The British Labor Government IS
said to oppose a European Parlia-
ment for several reasons. One is
chat the British don't feel that
representative elections can be held
now. The British also feel that
there should be more unity among
the European nations before the
problem of a parliament is tackled.
American interest in the five
power unity talks was expressed
last week by U. N delegate John
Foster Dulles. Dulles said that
Europe must unite or perish.

COOPERATIVE RULE OF
THE RUHR

To understand the Importance OF
the Ruhr, you have to understand
what would happen if a slice OF
the USA from Pittsburgh to Cleve-
land to Wheeling. w. Va, were
carved out of our economy. Re-
moval of the great blast furnaces
and rolling mills in this area
would paralyze the auto industry
the construction industry, farm
machinery, machine tools. Almost
every industry would come to a
halt.
Likewise, France, Italy, Belgium,
NEST OF Europe are partly depen-
dent on Ruhr coal. coke or steel.
The consumers are even more con-
cerned than the producers, To
them the Ruhr is vital for two
reasons:
/. To make sure it doesn't be-
come another arsenal for war.
2. To make sure its raw mater
ials continue to build up a peace
ful Europe.
To that end, it is being proposed
by some Washington advisers that
Ruhr factories be managed not by
the German cartels, but by neu-
trail cooperatives.
The Swedes, Norwegians, Swiss,
Dutch, Belgians are trusted in
Europe because they are small and
don't want war If war comes they
have most to lose. Their stake
IN peace is tremendous.
If cooperative to operate the
/ Ruhr was formed and these small
err neutral countries given a domi-
nant part in the management
French fears would cease. Furth-
ermore, the Germans could not
ohject French, British, Ameri-
can and even German representa-
4 tives could sit in on the manage
ment, but the small neutralS would
hold the balance Of power.

u. S. BANKERS POUR

During tilc years between the
end Of World War I and 1888 when
Hitler came to power. the banking
firm Of Brown Brothers, Hartman
dumped around one billion dollars
of American investors money into
Germany, much of it to the Ruhr.
simultaneously, the banking firm
OF Dillon, Read dumped several
hundred millions-much of it also
into the Ruhr.
III 1888, the Hartman banking
finn retained John Foster Dulles
to 60 to Berlin and persuade the
Reichsbank not to default on Its
interest. DulleS-in 1926-hao
assailed the State Department FOL
policy of putting damper or
loans to Germany. The State De-
paltment had warned that U. S
loans were helping rearmament
But Dulles advised the American
public to invest in European secur-
tiles and kept repeating this ad-
vice even when it was all too APP
parent that German bonds weren'
worth the paper they were printed
on.
Today Mr.. Dulles is head OF the
American delegation to the United
Nations and d top adviser to tht
Truman Administration.
Today, the former head Of Dillon
Read, James v. Forrestal, is Sec
rotary OF National Defense, while
his old banking partner, william

Army.
Today, Avereli Hartman Of The

later. He has served in Nicaragua,

After his liberation, Col. Devereux
denied ever sending the by then

Col. Devereux said. 1--WE had all

While he was still a prisoner, Col.
Devereux was awarded the Navy
Cross by President Roosevelt "for
distinguished and heroic conduct In
the line of his profession in the de-
fense of Wake Island" At that
time there had been no word that
he was alive, although his young
son, Paddy, now IA, and other rela-

Previously, he had been awarded the

10000 Trees Planted Tn
County This Spring
(Contributed)

Through All Clubs, F. F. A.
Clubs and farmers, 10000 forest
trees were set this spring in our
county. The past two years there
were only $4,000 trees set We
have over doubled the tree set
ting this year. The trees are set
for several purposes, namely: soil
conservation, timber, windbreaks,
retaining the land, the protec-
ton of wild life as we'll as food
for animals.
The following 4-Clubs partici-
pated in tree planting this year:
Bear Pen, Tarpon, Georges Fork,
(three clubs) Lyons Fork, Green
wood, Flat Top, Birchleaf and
Honey Camp. The three FLA de
partments, Haysi, Ervinton and
Clintwood, also participated. The
two veteran classes under the in
struction of C. D. Baker and F.
L. Colley, gave impetus to the
program. In summary, the trees
were set as follows: All Clubs,
$4,000; FFA's, $4,000 and farmers
2l:50O, The kind of trees set
were pines, short leaf, white,
pitch and loblolly. Locust, black
walnut, cedar and white ash. E.
c. Smith, county agent, was in
charge of the All group; H. S.
Harley, Fred Noel Fletcher and
D. Orville Deel in charge of FLA
departments; j. w Rose, district
forester tabulated the results.

HE BOREs FROM WITHOUT

Birds, like humans, seem to
have ways that are beyond under
standing, but there is probably
some sort of method in their APP
parent madness. F. F. Stephen
son, who resides in the Deloach
apartments here, first pointed
out large bird, known as
wood pecker, which he says ar
rives promptly at 6:45 each morn
ing and starts to work upon
drain pipe on the back corner of
the Old Hardware building.
The noise made by the wood
pecker when he starts rapping on
the thin metal pipe is like that of
a jack hammer in operation and
can be heard all over town. He
appears to work two or more
shifts daily, and can be heard
at various times all through the
day.
That old woodsman and follow
er of cold trails, John Deloach,
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1948-03-25

says that this bird probably must
have a certain amount of prac-
tice at his trade or else he will
grow rusty. Also, that his pride
of workmanship is probably sat
isfied more than common by the
brave rattle and bang produced
when he is drumming on this hol
low sounding object Fred Carter,
manager of the hardware, fears
the wood pecker may be linked
up with some foreign element and
is boring from without in an eff
fort to undermine some of our
American institutions, like his
store. He threatens to shoot the
intruder, but hesitates because
he fears that public sentiment
would be against such a step.
AS this is being written, the
bird has arrived for the first
shift, and is sounding off in the
still morning air with a loud
ta-ta-ta tat!
