KEEP COOL AND KEEP
THE STORM TROOPERS
AWAY

Miners vacation will begin on
June 26, just seventeen days
from now. The mines may not
open again for a month or longer.
Few people believe that a con-
tract can be hammered out be-
fore the two weeks vacation is
over. Non-union truck mines will
probably run while the bigger
mines are idle. That will cause
some strong feeling; we hope ii
will not cause any trouble.
i X j
The more ardent union mem
bers feel that the operation OF
truck mines will cripple the eff
feet of the strike. They feel that
the truck miners, nearly all OF
them former union members, will
be working against the interests
of all the laboring people. Most
Of the truck miners will probab-
ly feel that they have to work
while they can. Their wages are
below the union scale, and many
of them cannot pass physical ex-
aminations for work in the big
ger mines. Those feelings will
get stronger in time of stress and
strain.
A period of stress and strain is
the very time when reason is
needed most. No one questions
the right of the United Mine
Workers of America to strike at
this time until a contract is
made. There is more than nor
NAL tonnage of coal above the
ground, and the public welfare is
not involved. But public sentl-
ment is against violence; we have
had enough of it. AS surely as
organized labor makes blunder,
it gives its enemies a club. The
Taft-Hartley law could not have
been passed except for labor's
mistakes. One excess brings on
another. If union members get
rough, they will lose much that
they have gained during the last
several years.
The writer always has believ-
ed in organized labor. We know
what it has done for the miners
in our own community. A great
part Of every benefit the union
has gained has been passed on to
the small business men, in fact,
to all persons in Dickinson Coun
ty. Even the workers in the truck
mines are direct beneficiaries of
all the unions fights and sacrf-
fices. We all lose when organiz-
ed labor loses any Of its rights.
So we hope that in the coming
struggle labor will apply the test
of reason to its every act. We
hope the union miners will live
by the law and act the law they
live by and raise no sentiment
against themselves.
And may we be spared the an
noyance Of a horde of state DO
lice in our community! When
the boys with the bullying waist
lines gang up, they, like mob
sters, make their own rules; they
forget the laws; they probably
know nothing about the Bill OF
Rights anyway. The sheriff could
do the people of this county a
very real service if he would
tell the Governor that he and his
deputies are able to uphold law
and order in this community.

1850 Census May Indicate
Big Population Increase

+, Next years decennial census
may show the us. population to be
well in excess Of $50 million per-
sons, according to the 1949 Britain
MICA Book of the Year.
Between 1916 and 1948 the larg-
est numbers of births ever re-
corded took place and there was a
considerable increase in immigra-
tion," the publication points out.
AS a result, population forecasts
made as recently as 1946 proved to
be many millions short of the popu-
Ilation the nation has actually at
tanned.
The situation "seems to justify
even larger forecasts, perhaps as
high as ISL, ,O00,0 900 for 1850 and 1884,
100000 for 1885"
From July /, 1947 to July l, 1s48,
the population increased by 2,5S7,-
909, representing the excess OF
I2,241 ,699 births over deaths, plus
immigration of 296.210 persons.
'The natural increase was some
what smaller than the previous year
by reason of moderate decrease in
births, with the number of deaths
remaining about the same"
The decrease in the number OF
births was far less than had been
expected by many statisticians
working in this field-some Of
whom had anticipated sharp de-
cline from the record figures of the
second postwar year.

INFORMATION
FOR VETERANS
Advice Offered to All Veter-
ans Concerning Any
Problem
INFORMATION is FREE

Veterans Administration recent
Iy explained the order in which
checks will go out to the first large
group of applicants. for their share
of the S2.8 billion National Service
Life Insurance special dividend,
payment of which will begin in
January.
Generally, the checks will be is
sued on the basis of the last three
digits of the Service serial number.
The full serial number, VA said, is
of no significance in determining
order of payment. In certain por-
tion of the applications, additional
information will have to be devel-
oped. These will be handled separ-
ately.
Applications will be broken
down into groups as they are re-
ceived. These groups will be sepa-
rated into 10 processing units by
the last serial digits from zero to
nine. The first large group of ap-
plications is now being worked on
in this manner.
Thus, a veteran whose serial
number is 35, ,469, 900 will be includ-
ed in the first mailing because the
last three digits of his serial num-
ber are three zeros; whereas, vet
eran whose serial number is 100,-
900 will be included in the later
mailing because the last three dig
it's of his number are 900.
There is a voucher-writing
machine for each of the 10 groups.
The overall number of accounts it
is hoped to handle will be 100000
every day. This total will be reach
ed by drawing out 10000 cards
from each of the 10 groups.
VA explained that this method
of payment was selected after a
careful study of all factors as the
most non-discriminating system
that could be devised.
For veterans who had more than
one serial number while in service
VA will use the number in each
case that appears on the NSLI GER
tificate.
Subsequent applications received
will be handled in the same man
ner.
The dividend application number
which appears on the acknowledge
ment card returned to the appli
cant, has no bearing on the order
of payment, VA said.

True Color Compliments

OF all the patterns for color har-
mony, the easiest to determine are
the true compliments. These are
the two colors directly across the
color wheel from each, other: red
and green, orange and blue, yellow
and purple. Each of these pairs
represent all the colors in the Wis
ible spectrum range, or complete
ness of color. Take the compile
ments, red and green, for instance.
In green, blue and yellow are COM
bined. That means that red and
green together contain the three
primary colors-completeness Of
color in other words.

Change of Course
 Explained By VA

The Veterans Administration has issued an explanation of what is meant by change of Course" in the light of recent regulations requiring veterans to obtain advisement and guid- ance if they plan to change courses being taken under the c. l. Bill to other general fields of study.
 Under the new regulations, a veteran may make a change without advisement and guid- ance, so long as his new course is in the same general field as his original objective or a nor mally related progressive ob- jective.
 If he wants to change to a different general field, however, the regulations require that he undergo advisement and guid- ance to determine his aptitude
