they aren't happy at the prospect
of losing coal stockpiles. Captive
mines-owned by steel companies
have been working a six-day
week to fill the mills needs while
the commercial pits generally have
observed a fve-day week. Lack
of good coking coal has been one
of the obstacles in recent months
which thas kept steel companies
from fully meeting urgent demands
for steel.
Big StOckpile on Hand.
The record breaking 70,000,OOO
tons of coal now above ground is
expected to cushion the effect of
the shutdown on most industries.
That stockpile - greatest since
1942-compares to normal sup
ply of about 50,0O0,000 tons, or a
30-day supply. The 20,0OO,OOOI
ton difference is just about the
production the Nation will lose
during the mine shutdown. Many
observers speoulated on the effect

When people claim to hate you

Which is not hard to prove.

Absence of Women Fliers
Conspicuous at Ceremony

WASHINGTON = amp When
women pilots from all over the
country gathered at the National
Air museum of the Smithsonian in
stitute last Friday to pay nations
tribute to it's foremost woman flieE,
Amelia Earhart, the absent of Ne
gro women pilots was very con-
spicuous.
The dedication eliminated the
three years of effort by members of
Amelia Earhart Post 67S of the
American legion at Los Angeles, Cal.
to have the pioneer flyer memorial
lied with other aviation greats at
the Smithsonian.
Mrs. Amy Otis Earhart, the &C.
year-old mother of the late famous,
wiry, tousel-haired aviatriX said in
a thin, trembling voice, 81 always
thought she crash landed, maybe on
a tiny coral atoll But it's been
SO long since then With her
words breaking off, the smartly
dressed, white haired lady pulled the
curtain unwilling the display which
will stand in the National Museum
to keep alive the name of her famous
daughter.
Miss Earhart disappeared on
June 2, 1887, during a $500 mile
flight from Lea, New Guinea, to
the Rowland Islands. 1t was one leg
of planned round-the-world trip
begun at Oakland, Calf Exhaus-
tive search failed to disclose the
fate of either the aviatrix or Fred
NOOnan, her navigator.
While the name of Amelia Ear
hart deserves a place in the ar
chives for pOsterity because she ac-
complished so many firsts, still one
could not help but recall the name
of well-known Negro woman pilot,
Bessie Coleman, who was killed in
an air crash II years before Amelia
disappearance. No effort has been
made to preserve the name of Bessie
Coleman who died on her post of
duty in 1926, when air transporta-
ton was virgin field as far as
women in general were concerned.
Then it was extremely new and
different for Negro women.
No permanent record, as far as
could be determined, has been kept
of Dorothy Darby, a Negro flyer
who made a nonstop flight from
New York to Los Angeles as early
as 1886.
1t is understood that prejudice
and discrimination against Negro
women both in training and en-
ployment has been effective in keep.
their entrance into the aviation
field at the minimum, still several
have invaded the field and made a
name for themselves and have been
"a credit to their sex and their race.
Perhaps one of the best known
Negro women pilots today is Villa

career dates back to 1888 when she
was enrolled in the Aeronautical
University in Chicago and took a
master mechanics course.
There were only 81 Negro women
in the air transportation industry in
1910 when the last U. S. census was
taken, however this number increas-
ed immensely during the war when
women were reported as studying
aviation at Tuskegee, Durham, NC.
and Los Angeles.
There must be at least SO Negro
women aviators in the country to-
day and it was disappointing that
none of them were invited to the
Earhart celebration.
