Soft Coal Operators
Hint Showdown Fight
On 3-Day Work Week
Nv the Assoeioied Press

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, July 27.-Soft coal OPP
orators limited today they may
fight John L. Lewis three-day
work week even If it means a
tight shutdown Of the pits in ap-
preaching cold weather.
Mr.. Lewis failed to appear at
the resumption of contract ne
gotiations here yesterday. At the
same time the major commercial
and captive" steel company rep
resentatives said they were ready
to talk business
The operators said Mr.. Lewis
absence meant he was trying to
show the employers that he was
displeased by the testimony of
Harry M. Moses. George H. Love.
and other operator representa-
tives at a Senate hearing con-
Quoted two days ago by Senator
Robertson. Democrat. of Virginia,
on the subject Of union monopoly
influence.
Consider Closing Pits.
The mine owners, however,
showed they were anxious to fight
1t out with Lewis. Unless he shows
up. these same mine owners said
they were considering shutting
down their pits and waiting for the
UNIV president to challenge
their right to fix the work opera
tons of their mines.
A big section, though not neces-
sarily the majority. of the btu
minous coal operators wants to
challenge Mr.. Lewis on his revolu-
tionary three day work week idea.
Most of the opposition to Mr..
Lewis comes from the steel COM
panies.
Mr.. Lewis not only remained
aloof from the White Sulphur
meeting. but he also authorized the
quick recess of negotiations with
the Southern Coal Producers AS
socia ton at Bluefleld. w. Va.
Would Force Showdown.
Most of the operators were wa
eering that Mr., Lewis would not
show UP. and that there would be
M more concentrated contract
negotiate lions until early fall. MOST
observers saw it that way too. This
is the situation:
The steel company captive
mine interests would force show
down with Mr.. Lewis now over the
three-day work week rather than
wait until fall for a coal strike.
They need all the coal they can
produce on a six-day week.
Mr.. Lewis contends that the
miners old wage agreement ex-
pired last June 30. He ordered his
miners east of the Mississippi to
work only Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday until new pact is
signed.
Operators Argument.
However. the operators argue
that the old contract runs until
mid August under the Taft
Hartley Act. That statute re-
ouires so days negotiation before
a labor agreement can be modified
or terminated, and the Nothern
owners did not receive their bar
gaining notice from Mr.. Lewis
until June IA.
There is a possibility that they
might accuse him of violating the
contract and file an unfair labor
practice charge with the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board.
Such action would enable Robert
Denham, NRLB general counsel.
to seek a court injunction to
compel Mr.. Lewis to restore the
five-day mine work week.
In August. however, that
would probably prompt the UNIV
president to close the mines down

PROPER CARE or THE TEETH

Good teeth are not the only fac
tors in sound health, personal at
tractiveness and economic success,
but they are important to all three.
| Our smile and our speech are
among the first things noticed in
our daily business and social CON
facts. But only bad impressions can
/ result from ugly, decayed teeth, or
gaping spaces where teeth should
be The sad fact is that such unat-
tractive and urhealthful conditions
are often due to carelessness and
neglect
The food we eat nourishes our
/ teeth as it does other parts of the
body. The same we'll balanced diet
necessary to general well-being is
essential to the preservation, as well
as the formation, of sound, healthy
! teeth.
The major function of the teeth
is the grinding and cutting of food,
the first step in digestion. When
teeth are diseased, broken or missing,
this means that is is just that much
more difficult for the person to di-
gest his food properly.
Decay Of teeth is probably due to
a combination of many factors.
Dentists believe that decay starts
! from outside the tooth. When food
particles, particularly sugar, become
lodged on or between the teeth, bac-
terra, which are always present in
the mouth, act on the particles to
| produce acids which dissolve a
tooth's enamel and permit decay to
start
! A tiny cavity becomes larger as
the products of bacterial action de-
stroy more enamel Then, if neglect
ed, the cavity may reach into the
center of the tooth where the nerves
and blood vessels are located. Dis
ease-producing bacteria, spreading
with the cavity, may enter the blood
stream from the tooth's center and
go to various parts of the body. That
is how diseased teeth are sometimes
responsible for setting up infection
in the heart, the kidneys, joints and
+, other places.
/ To help ward off tooth decay, the
teeth should be kept clean and the
! dentist visited regularly. The teeth
should be cleaned at least twice a
day, upon arising and before going
/ to bed.
| Recently it has been shown that
{ fiuorine may help prevent tooth
F, decay. Some communities are ex-
perimenting with adding small
amounts of fiuorine to the community
water supply for this purpose. Some
dentists advocate applying a fluorine-
containing preparation to the teeth
of children.

PRACTICAL VINTON
by RHcHARD HILL WILKINSON


Monica complimented herself on
her ingenuity in apprehending the
difficulty. Tt was relief, because
now she could admit to Vinton that
her idea had really been silly She
could tell him that actually she
didn't care whether she was mar
ried in white or not. After all, she
couldn't afford such luxury, and
what difference did 1t make anyhow,
as long as you were really married?
Monica's understanding of the
situation came two months after the
first changes we're evident in Vim
toms manner. In another six weeks
they were to be married. 1t was
lucky, Monica thought, that she had
made the discovery in time. Tonight
when he came to take her to the
movies she would relieve his mind
once and for all.
She was alone in the house when
Vinton finally arrived. One look at
him and she sensed that something
had happened. His eyes cleaned
with strange light. The old-time
smile was on his lips. He swept her
into his arms and kissed her in a
manner that brought TO mind the
now almost forgotten days Of two
months ago.
'Vinton Whatever has hap
pened?" She chung to him, realizing
now how much she had missed him
as ne was before. 1t was as if he
had been away on long trip and
was now safely home. 1t occurred
to her that there would be a tTemen-
dous amount OF satisfaction in tell
ing him she had discarded the idea
about the white satin. The self
denial would provide real pleasure.
"Happened?" he was saying. Wen,
look here" And he reached into
his pocket and took out an envelope.
Money" he said. Extra money.
Enough to buy your white satin
wedding gown! I worked nights to
make it, and kept you home from
the movies. Didn't dare tell you be-
cause you're SO DANCED impractical
you wouldn't see it my way"
"Vintoni"
He grinned. Guess that's the
way III have to handle you, kid
you into thinking you're not
being practical 1t would have
been foolish" he went on SER
iously, ''to let you spend the
money you've saved for clothes,
Tor wedding dress. III you dId
that, I'd only have 10 dig down
In the old sock the first month
after we were married. This way,
you can have your dress and
still buy your trousseau."
Monica's eyes were little misty,
a fact that Vinton didn't seem to
notice. "The fact is, he went on,
II sort of understand how you feel.
I mean, about wearing the proper
clothes at the proper time. It's like
me. go in to a client and II I'm
dressed up and my shoes are shined

any one. I feel the part. And I
guess that's the way you are. I
mean, you get married In white satin
and you really feel that you're mar
ried, eh?" He paused. grinned. TITS
lucky thing though that ons Of us
is practical"

verge Of tears. ooh. vinton, darling,

as he was before.
after the wedding? mean, you can't
wear it to work or you can't wear it
to the movies or on picnics. It's a
dead loss. We've got to look into
the future"
That was the trouble with
VintOn. That's what gave Mon
lea her first doubts. Being an in
surance salesman he was pre- cti-
cal. Too practical. He didn't
have any vision or imagination
or understanding. II flashed into
MOnica's mind that if ne couldn't
understand even little bit why
she wanted to be married in
white satin, how was it going to
be later on, about other things?
Suddenly she found herself con-
fronted with problem, torn be-
tween her honest love for Vinton
and the ACCESSIBILITY of marrying a
man who couldn't understand you,
was contemptuous of how you felt.
Monica might have taken drastic
steps, but within the next week
something happened 10 vinton. He
changed. Ha w@snt % cheerful as
was MS custom. ne canceleo oaJes
giving time-worn and slim excuses
about having to work nights. He
didn't respond as readily to her at
tentions when she was with him.
Monica forgot everything else. She
was losing Vinton! He no longer
loved her! He was interested in some
other woman! These and dozen
other possibilities crowded into her
mind. She became afraid, desper-
ate, panicky. She knew now that ii
was Vinton she wanted more than
anything in the world, more, even
than to be married in white satin.
It was this secret admission that
provided the clue which led to her
understanding of what was wrong.
Vinton, being practical, had, like
herself, experienced doubts concern
ing their future together. Looking
at it from his point Of view she
could imagine how he felt. He was
afraid that If she insisted on being
married in white satin she might
insist on other things of equally i'm
practical nature after they were
married. He, too, was faced with a
problem.
