Senators Back
Boyd, 1911 for
MineDirector
Pointed Answer Giver
Lewis as All 900
Cool Diggers Quit


today gave a pointed answer to
the mine shutdown ordered by
John L. Lewis by approving Presi-
dent Truman's nomination of
James Boyd as director of the
Federal Bureau of Mines.
In ordering a two-week shut
down, which started today. Mr..
Lewis said it would be in part a
protest against the Boyd appoint
ment. The holiday also was de-
scribed as a memorial to miners
killed and injured last year dur
ing a period that Mr.. Boyd has
served as director.
Chairman OMahoney said the
committee vote was 10-to-1 in
favor of Mr.. Boyd He added that
Senator Millikin. Republican. of
Colorado cast the only dissenting
vote.
Downey Votes Present.
Senator Downey, Democrat, of
California voted present. Senator
Murray, Democrat. of Montana
was absent.
The mine shutdown has stirred
members Of Congress and before
the committee acted Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia de-
manded confirmation of Mr. Boyd
and said the mine work stoppage
sis nothing less than an attempt
to coerce and intimidate the
Senate"
Mr.. Boyd has been serving as
chief of the bureau for more than
a year, most of the time without
pay as his nomination was never
confirmed. A former dean of the
Colorado School of Mines. Mr..
Boyd was described by the mine
workers leader as too inexperi-
enced" to administer mine safety
requirements.
A UNIV official said Mr.. Lewis
had no comment on the commit
tees action.
More to Be Made Idle.
The committee action came as
1000 soft and hard coal miners
obeyed the orders issued last Fri
day by Mr.. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers. and re-
manned away from their pits.
An additional 6e,425 workers
will be idled during the week as
II railroads which handle sub
stantial coal shipments ordered
furloughs for trainmen and shop
forces.
The shutdown sent the Nations
number of jobless to more than
3,70O,ooo. This was 100000 more
than last Friday.
The two weeks total production
loss is estimated at 100000 tons
valued at $100,0Q0,000. However,
no immediate hardship is expect
ed as 100000 tons in storage
represent a 45-day supply.
Wage loss to miners is estimated
at s60,000.000 and the loss to the
miners welfare fund go cents a
tom would be S4,000,000.
The work stoppage halted pro-
duction in mines east of the Mis-
sissippi River and reduced the out
put to a mere trickle.
Men Idle i'm 10 States.
The idle miners normally work
in these 10 States: West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Kentucky. Illinois,
Alabama, Ohio. Virginia, Tennes-
see, Indiana and Maryland.
The Lewis order for a work
stoppage exempted about $4,000
UNIV miners in these States:
Wyoming. Colorado, Montana,
Utah, Arkansas, Oklahoma. New
Mexico, Washington. Kansas and
Missouri.
The Western States produce
only a trickle of the Nations soft
coal. Pennsylvania produces viz
tually all the anthracite mined in
the United States and ranks Sec

Frear Invites Public
To D. {. Rent Hearing
BULLETIN

The Supreme Court today
agreed to decide whether the
District rent-control law applies
to residences controlled by the
National Capital Housing Au-
thority. In a case involving
Navy housing here, the Munich
pal Court of Appeals held last
fall that NCHA had the right
to evict tenants for refusal to
pay rent increase. The United
States Court of Appeals reversed
the decision. The Supreme Court
set no date for hearing.
Senator Frear, Democrat, Of
Delaware, today invited the public
to testify at a special Senate
District subcommittee hearing or
extension of District rent control
at 10 am. Wednesday,.
The hearing will be conducted
by Senator Frear as chairman Of
the Subcommittee on Public
Utilities, Insurance and Banking
The session is being held despite
the fact that the House has post
poned consideration on the floor
of a rent control extension bill
for the District until after the
House acts on a pending measure
to extend national rent control.
Controls expire at the end of
this month, both locally and
nationally.
Persons desiring to appear at
the hearing Wednesday should
notify the committee before 5
pm. tomorrow. Senator Frear said.

ORGANIZED COOPERATION

Anyone who watches a freight train 90
Dy IS impressed by the number of different
railroads represented by the box cars and
gondolas and the rest of the rolling stock.
IN all likelihood, he'll see cars which are the
property Of railroads whose own tracks end
one to three thousand miles away. This is
an example of the organized cooperation that
has brought the railroad industry to it's high
level OF efficiency. Suppose, for instance, that
each OF the more than 600 different railroads
winch serve this country wouldn't permit it's
cars to leave its tracks, The time and the
money that would then be required to load
ana unload commodities moving across the
nation would be incredible. Mass transpor-
tatlon, as we know it, wouldn't exist What
the railroads do is to work together so that
Irelght and passengers may move freely
from one line to another as part of unified
national transportation service. And this
cooperation does not stop within the indus
try For nearly a quarter of a century, CO.
operation between railroads and their ship
per customers has also been on an organized
basis. Thirteen Shippers Advisory Boards
are IN operation in this country They exist
so that railrOaderS and shippers can get
together to produce the most efficient and
economical transportation service. This is
one example of how a great industry deals
with the complex problems connected with
meeting the basic transportation needs of a
huge country. The goal never varies. It is
TO give all who want it the best service DOS
sible, at the lowest cost.

HEADING FOR TROUBLE

Near the end of October, the President
told press conference that the country was
long way off from the sort of national
emergency justifying the use of the Taft
Hartley law to halt strikes which had dis
rupted the coal and steel industries. Ironi-
cally, just after that, the huge Government
Central Heating Service, which supplies heat
to a large number of government offices in
Washington, reported that it had onlv a 30
day supply of coal on hand Opinion varies
as to what constitutes a national emergency.
But when the nations supply of basic mate
rlals are stopped for even short time. the
whole economic machine slows, business
dwindles and unemployment scars. The
point is that a handful of labor leaders. with
vast powers, can decide whether or not
American enterprise shall be allowed to pro-
duce. There are honest differences as to the
merit and justice of labor's demands on the
coal, steel and other industries. But it shOuld
be evident to anyone no matter where his
sympathies lie, that the big labor leaders are
establishing an irOn-clad monopoly. and are
Dent on dealing with management on a "DO
what l say or else" basis. This is particu-
larly apparent in coal, where Mr.. Lewis re-
CARDS himself as prosecutor, Judge and Jury
IN any dispute-and where he demands DOW
erS that are clearly within the province of
management. If there ever was a trust in
any reasonable meaning of the term, the
miners union is it. Any element which cal
lously diSregards the public welfare is head
ing for trouble The rank and file of labor
should realize that fact, even if some of their
leaders refuse to.

ial, which to every family are the necessities
Of life. AS might have been expected our
country is growing poor, and slipping stead
ily backwards at a time when we ought to be
living IN the lap of comfort and luxury. When
every man should be on the job the workers
have walked out on their employers, obeying
like sheep a small number Of labor bosses
for the neWly-invented reason that workers
must be given pensions" apparently instead
of wages. The steel mills, coal mines, rail-
roads and factories of all kinds, small and
large have always kept the wheels of prog
ress running-but now, when we need them
most they go footing a 'new world to con-
quer," viz: Old Age pensions. Under the
leadership of President Truman and force
in Congress the worst string of strikes in all
our history have almost "busted" our nation,
and the Democrats in Congress have reached
out in all directions to put the okay on the
poisonous plans Of labor bosses. The object
To perpetuate the rule of the Democratic
party through laying down on all principles
and letting Democracy go straight to the
devil.

J. Howard McGrath, Attorney General
of the United States, reminded large group
of businessmen that sit is your daily busi-
ness to develop, defend and protect the credit
system upon which much of the commercial
activity of our country is based because
of the service which you perform, honest men
of moderate means are able to purchase au-
tomobiles, household appliances and other
conveniences and necessities which our free
enterprise produces in such abundance
your efforts create markets and enlarge and
stabilize our commerce. Without your SER
vices trade would stagnate, inventories would
accumulate and so, production would be
thrOttled, and the free flow of our commerce
would be Obstructed." The Attorney General
referred to the Sherman Antitrust Act
which has long been called the charter of
freedom of American business" He declar-
ed that this Nations solemn declaration that
American enterprise shall be conducted by
free and independent businessmen consti-
tuteS an act of deliberate choice, we have re-
iected subservience to either an all-powerful
State or to private monOpolieS. The speaker
reminded his audience that prominent among
the liberties which our antitrust laws guar
antee is the liberty to engage in the business
of ones choice. And he reminded his listen
ers that this is an inherent right of the indi-
vidual American citizen as the corner stone
OF our industrial progress and the founda-
tiOn of our political and social well-being
it grows from roots reaching deep into our
National past. This privilege should be pro-
tected.

Delaware is the only State in

for the work of census taking, ac-
cOrding to a special dispatch from
Every Evenings Washington cor
respondent, who quotes Assistant
Director Stuart of the Federal Cen
sus Bureau as saying that the citi-
zens of Delaware had undertaken
the work as patriotic duty rather
than as a means of increasing their
incomes since the amount paid for
the service is small as compared
with the remuneration paid in other
fields.
The breaking of a car wheel of
a box car on a nOrthbound freight
train resulted in the wrecking of
eight cars on the D., M. & V. Rail-
road just at the southern entrance
of Milford Saturday night last. The
train was composed Of thirty-twO
cars, and the broken wheel occur
rred on the seventh car from the
engine. That car and the seven
next following piled up. The car
which caused the wreck was load
ed with white potatoes and the sew
en- others were all loaded with pill
ing. Two wrecking crews worked
all night Saturday, but were unable
to clear the wreckage so that trains
could pass around it. Passengers on
Sunday were brought to the scene
of the wreck and then transferred
to trains waiting on the other side.
Late Sunday, a spur track was run
around the wreck and train SER
vice was resumed. The wreck was
the worst that has ever occurred
in Milford. Notwithstanding the
fact that the train was running at
a fast rate of speed when the ac-
cident occurred, only one person
was injured. This man was only
slightly scratched and bruised.
