POSSIBILITIES IN EAST END

POSSIBILITIES IN EAST END
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of acres of appar-
emily good, useful land, especially in the east end of this
Island are in bush, and serving no purpose whatever. This
is significant when we think of the possibilities, and the fact
that IN other islands the people use every foot of land to pro-
duce food, or raise animals. We are told that there was a time
when the east end of this Island was rather important in agri-
culture, produced sugar, and thousands of cattle were raised
on the hills and slopes.
RECENTLY, AN Q WAS made to bring again
to this section the attention and the faith which,
apparently had been lost. In one section of the East End Es-
tates, a continental, I. LutrelL, has taken the bull by the
horns and gone ahead in the production of fruits and vege-
tables, and when we last saw the venture, it was rather en-
c~ouragng. The land, as a whole is favorable, and the rain
tall encouraging, and while it does not compare with the
western section, yet the east can be put to more advantageous
use. Another recent purchaser is Bonnie BENJAMIN, a native
who is well known in music circles on the mainland. From
what can be learned up to this time, he intends to put his
land to good use, and no doubt in time develop it, as a spot
where he may reside should he return to his homeland.
E IS NO DOUB that there was a time when St.
Croix supported $4,000 or 10000 inhabitants, and in those
days every available spot of land was used over from east
to west. Such is possible again, though in a somewhat diff
ferent manner. The tendency today is towards farmSand units,
each supporting itself as far as possible. Each such form can
produce its own food, raise animals and even have enough
surplus for sale. This will support several hundreds, and raise
the level of Hvng'by giving added employment, circulating
more funds and developing the buying power.

By ALEXANDER S. LIPSETT, Gan ILNS Feature)

If this contract contains gains
substantial enough to warrant a
strike and the workers sacrifices
fail to see them. A $40 pension
boost for a few hundred Bethlehem
employees is hardly a reason to
shout victory from the housetops,
though it may help the leadership
to fool it's members, and a great
many other people besides.
More important, is there doubt
that these gains could have been
obtained without a strike which has
paralyzed the economic life stream
of the nation and the costs of
which are not remotely calculable :?
AS to the social security program,
thousands of such contracts have
been negotiated in recent years to
the mutual satisfaction of labor
and management. 1t was only a
matter of time until the steel COM
panies got around to it.
To go on strike for union reco-
gnition and protection of labor's
hard-won gains is one thing. To
call half million men away from
the steel furnaces and rolling mills
in pursuance of a "get-tough"
policy which, no matter how char
itably interpreted, harms the pub
lie welfare and interferes with the
livelihood Of millions of citizens, is
quite another. 1t is this sort of con-
duct, this shifting of hundreds of
thousands of workers on the chess
board of power politics, that Bill
Mahon meant when he said "there
isn't a labor dispute than cannot
be settled peaceably and by arbi-
tration."
Last but not least, it is obvious
that the cost of whatever settle
ment is reached in the great indus
trial strikes of 1949 will be passed
on to the public in form of higher
prices. The strikers in the steel
plants and coal mines of America,
and their families, are part of that
public.

Rent Board Ruling
In Legal SnarI

Chicago (LPA)-Landlords here
have grabbed onto "A court ruling
in a rent control case to make ii
appear that the Chicago rent con-
troll board was overruled in his re-
cent decision refusing to grant
blanket rent increases.
Tenants throughout the country
will be glad to know that the US
Emergency Court of Appeals,
which Nov. l ordered the rent Of
flee to re-examine rent levels in
Cook County, did no such thing.
Daily news stories implied that
the court reversed the rent boards
ruling, ordering them to change
their decision and raise rents gen.
orally by 45R. The court actually
said that it was without jurisdic-
ton in the case. It's ruling was a
very legal and technical one say
ing that the rent board had not
based its decision on proper evid-
ence.
The court ordered the board to
look into the rent situation again
and base its decision on proper
legal evidence. 1t did not direct
that the board must either grant
or deny a rent increase.

Welfare Plans
Discussed By AFL
Sheet Metal Men

New Orleans (LPA)-Negotia-
tion of union welfare plans was a
major topic at the three-day an
nual meeting of business agents
from the building industry section
of the Sheet Metal Workers Int'l
Ass'n-AFL. More than 200 from
the Canada and Panama attended
the Nov. Oil conference here.
Henry Wenning, the groups in
surance consultant, reported on ex-
listing social insurance plans in
union contracts. The delegates are
expected to recommend that their
locals press for increased welfare
programs in forthcoming contract
negotiations.
Joseph eenan, director of
Labor's League for Political Edu-
cation-AFL; Bert Jewell, labor
adviser to ECA chief Paul Hoff-
man; Thomas Ryan, director of
labor relations, Public Housing
Administration, and Mayor Nor
rison of New Orleans were among
the speakers.
Jewell, former president of the
AFL Railway Employees Dept, de-
clared the US must increase its i'm
ports from Europe if Europe is to
become Independent. Despite the
rapid progress in Europe's recov-
cry, Europe must take more vigor-
Gus action to break down trade
barriers and promote a western
economic union, Jewell declared.
Mayor Morrison said the city's
tremendous strides in the past Is
years have been due in large mea-
sure to the efforts of the unions to
get more purchasing power in the
hands of the people. Higher wages,
he said, have meant an increase of
SEQ e in the volume of sales in the
past 10 years. He attributed the
current labor peace here as due
to realization by all groups that
stability and prosperity have come
through collective bargaining
agreements negotiated by labor.
He lashed at opponents of public
housing, and asserted slums will
never be cleared by private enter
prise because there is no profit in
it. He called the federal Public
act of 1949 "manna from
Heaven" for his city.

Lewis Sends Coal
Miners Back To
Jobs Till Nov. 80

Chicago (LPA) - In a sudden
dramatic move on Nov. 9 President
John L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers ordered 100000 striking
coal diggers back to work until
midnight Nov. 80.
The order was issued after the
unions 200-man Natl Policy Gem
mittee, in conference here, adopted
a resolution calling for the move.
In a public statement on the
swift turn in UNIV policy, Lewis
said:
"This is done as an act of good
faith designed to contribute to pub
lie convenience Whether the coal
strike actually was over, however,
still depended on a return to the
bargaining table by northern,
southern, and Captive mine" OPP
orators, and perhaps on what the
federal government might do.
In this connection, Lewis went
on to say:
"The United Mine Workers will
again make another contribution
Of major magnitude to enhance the
remote possibility of agreement
being reached"
While Lewis and the UMW's
policy group were reaching their
decision to suspend the strike on
its 51st day, Cyrus S. Ching, chief
of the Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service, was closeted in
Washington with spokesmen for
northern and western operators.
The day before he had talked
with southern operators and OH
Nov. 10 he was scheduled to bring
representatives Of all Of the op-
orators and of the UNIV together
for another try at bringing about
an industry-wide agreement similar
to the try he made month ago.
The UNIV struck in mid-Sept-
ember for wage increase, a short
er work week, and a boost in the
per ton of coal mined the
pay into the unions well
fare and pension fund.
The union did not make its de-
mands public. However, it was re-
ported that in an offer to deal sep
with Illinois operators, the
UNIV asked that the pension-wel-
fare royalty be doubled, and that
the miners be granted a 35-hour,
five-day week and 95-cent t-a-day
wage increase.
Lewis offered to deal separately
with Illinois and Indiana operators
after governors of those states re-
quested a settlement to avoid a
coal emergency. The operators de-
a sudden affection for in
dustry-wide bargaining, and turned
the offers down.
The three-week suspension Of the
strike seemed to avert immediate
danger that mediator Ching might
recommend that the White House
start machinery going for a Taft
injunction against the
walkout.

The convention increased per capita
25 cents to $1.40 and also contin-

capita into the unions defense
fund. The referendum motion would
have discontinued these payments
when the fund reached 100000.

Fines On Lewis,

ing, the Supreme Court on Nov. {
for all practical purposes upheld
the fines imposed on the United
Mine Workers and UNIV President
John l.. Lewis for contempt OF
court in 1913.
The court did not rule specifcal-
ly on the fines, but refused to con-
slider an appeal brought by Lewis
and the union. The fines totaleo
81 100000 of which $4,000 was
against Lewis personally.
Meanwhile, with the strike OF
100000 bituminous coal miners in
it's 50th day, Lewis was meeting
with the UMW's 25O-man Nat'l
Policy Committee in the Hotel
Sheraton in Chicago to review re-
ports of negotiations with coal op-
orators. At the same time, Cyrus
Ching, director of the Federal
Mediation & Cancellation Service,
was meeting in his office here with
spokesman for the stubborn south
ern operators and might meet later
in the week with representatives of
northern operators.
The fines against Lewis and the
union which the Supreme Court
ruled upon were imposed when the
UNIV waited nine days to obey a
federal injunction against the 194s
strike over pension royalties. Lewis
argued unsuccessfully that he had
not ordered the strike, but a gov
ernment board set up under the
Taft Hartley act disagreed. The
fines were ordered by Judge T.
Alan Goldsborough of the US Dis
trict Court here, and were double
the amounts levied the year before
in a similar instance.
When the fines were appealed
Lewis and the UNIV argued that
they were excessive. They also
maintained that the Taft Hartley
act was unconstitutional and that
fines imposed under it did not have
to be paid.
The Supreme Court declined to
rule ON the constitutional question
in this instance. In the 1947 case
it said that any court order must
be obeyed until its propriety was
decided by higher court.
This time, Justice Douglas, re-
Gently recovered from his near
disastrous tumble from horse,
and Justice Black, the dissenters,
thought that the fines should at
least be reviewed. Justice Clark ,ab-
stained from the case because he
was Attorney General when it be-
gan.
Some thought that Lewis select
ed Chicago for the meeting of the
Natl Policy Committee to press
his efforts to force Illinois and
Indiana operators to conclude a
contract breaking the
solid front of the operators. How
ever, it may have been that Lewis
picked Chicago to have a chance to
visit his ailing mother in Spring
field, I'll. He saw his mother over
the weekend.
Both Illinois and Indiana opera
tors expressed determination last
week to bargain only on a nation
al basis, suddenly finding virtue in
industry-wide agreements. Lewis
offered to deal separately after
Gov. Henry F. Schricker of Indiana
and Gov. Adlai F. Stevenson of |
illinois asked for relief from coal
shortages. In making his offers
through the two governors, Lewis |
claimed that steel and other indus
.ries in both states were boarding |
coal which would go far toward re-
ieving the shortages.
