They Wouldn't Crawl

When rich and arrogant employers close their eyes to
the human of labor relations and instead seek
to club workers into submission with fashioned In
offices of the National Association OF Manufacturers there's
bound to be trouble.
That's what happened in the prolonged bitter strike
in coal fields and it explains why much money was
needessly wasted and why many men, women and chill
dren suffered grievously.
The operators determined to crush the United
Mine Workers union with tools provided by the Taftart
ley Act and with propaganda distributed newspapers only
too anxious to help out, hoping that the miners undong
would eventually result in the undong OF all organized labor
1t simply didn't work And the it didn't work is
that human consideration the operators overlooked hey
waiting for Taartey to settle the issues their way
and for the miners to crawl back to work their bellies
begging for their jobs back under any conditions
That didn't happen and never will Men who risk Their
lives every day the bowels of the earth get close to
the basic requirements of life and the oughness OF the coal
veins into their veins to give them moral fibre and
strength to fight for the principles they believe n The coal
MINER with his native mtancy has provided the backbone
for all organized labor.
During the long controversy months, the mine
operators sat back looked out the window and waited for
the law to settle matters their way.
When the injunction failed to get the slaves back INTO
the pits the operators banked the courts to find them
guilty of contempt When the miners cleared OF that
charge the owners began to get little uneasy but it
mained for proposed seizure bill that didn't guarantee them
their profits under government operation to get semance
of collective bargaining under way.
The history of the coal strike completely dlscredS the
Taft Hartley Act and should warning to anti
labor spokesmen in Congress for Big Business who
camorng for bigger and better unon-bustng law thal
The New York Times, commenting editoraly, said:
OF
versy which later stages threatened to rupture the
very economic and social fabric of the natonare temn-
aed with the agreement between the major softcoa oper
ators and the United Mine Workers.
And this agreement was finally reached in the manner
which it should have been reached in the first paceby
direct abor-management bargaining The pity is that it re-
qured the threat of government seizure and what amounted
to government arbitration bring the dsputants together
The nation the miners great debt for IN stand
ing up their principles they have dramazed in the most
effective way the niquty of the Taftarey concoction
They shown how such laws not designed to protect
the public stop strikes to correct neques but only
to help unscrupuous employers crush labor
The best remedy for labormanagement strife remains
as always collective bargaining It's also the key
note of a free economy and functioning democracy.

How Much PaY Was Lost?

Radio commentators and news writer's busy trying
to prove it will take the coal miners years back
their lost wages through the increased pay they got in their
agreement.
These commentators and writers point out what
the miners would surely have lost had they lost the strike
and gone back to work under savish conditions and low
wages
The fact is that the employers mined lot Of coal be-
fore they provoked the strike and sold it during the strike
at good profit The coal miners will be allowed to mine
only much coal period of years. and they mine that
tonnage regardless of strikes
Had there been strike the mines would have closed
down because there would have been orders for only coal
enough to afford miners three days work week.
1t will not be many months before several mines will be
closed and others will short time because there too
many miners and too many mines When this happens the
commentators and the writers will be silent about the
tremendous of lost wages which will be much greater
during the % months of the present contract than it
during the strike
Let get facts straight 1t matters little whether
the miner strikes laid off, he will not get full employ
ment he will average the amount of time work
the years
The Union is criticised when it closes the coal mines,
but when management closes them operates them only
part time it is not criticised Is this publicity honest? Is
fair?

Wdys To Higher PdY

Wage boosts essential this year increase workers
buying power sufficiently to put the unemployed to work.
the American Federation declares There two ways to
get higher pay, the federation says in its Monthly Labor
Survey, going on to explain:
First, in cases where a company does not otherwise
have enough income to grant substantial wage increase let
propose management that they work together to
reduce unit costs of production This will create income out
of which gains to workers and management be paid
Such joint programs be carried out if management
agrees to share the gains and provides daily weekly
cords to show workers what is being accomplished These
records should be furnished to the union and made available
union members Plans for providing the needed records
be worked out jointly by union and management This
of the sures get increase especially if
you have your records to show what has been done.
"In 1921 during earlier period of unemployment,
Samuel Gompers proposed that unions and management
join the practical work of eliminating of high pro-
ducton industry but his proposal turned down
by management. We believe that today many far-seeng
managementS would accept joint costsavng programs if
proposed by their unions Such plan makes possible larger
wage increases than could otherwise be time of
increasing competition.
"a second to lift wages is the organizing drive
to win million members being conducted by the feder
alton during the Samuel Gompers Centennial Year In the
United States today, there about 35 million nOnfam
families whose breadwnnerS employed between
21 and Cd years old and whose income is less than So
The City Workers Family Budget of the u S. Labor
Department brought uptodate shows that costs from
$4,000 to $1,000 to support family Of four in health and
efficiency today dec 1949 and from So 100 to So 500 for
family of two Clearly these families living far below
American standard of living and their low incomes
due chiefly to low wages.
"These the families whose incomes most need to be
raised by union action They also the who will spend
any increases they get buy industrial products and
increase the demand for goods and create jobs

High Buying Power Means Prosperity

hope expanding employment brghtens for businessmen
look ahead with confidence and plan for gradual
and steady expansion this is essential to get the unepo-
cd back to work.
Ever the war businessmen have dreaded the post
depression which they felt sure to come as an alter
math of price initiation Now the nation has been through
readiustmen prices sabzng consumer buying power
though inadequate, is holding up enough to maintain
steady volume Of business
Businessmen therefore 'have begun to think in terms
of prosperity that isn't inevitably followed by collapse
saws prominent trade magazine. Most company officers
are planning on sustained period of good busnessrun-
ming indefinitely into the future The high level OF con-
sumer spending is what business counting on This is
significant We find business feeling the results of past

ton that high buying power means prosperity
Consumer buying power must be higher to put the

ness will help to raise it, For when firms prospect of
sustained and rising demand for their products they invest

to create Jobs.

ELECTRIC MATTRESS COVER.
From Mrs. P. r. NJ, WashingtonJ
This is my first contribution to
the RICH although I haven't
missed a day since it was first
started. I have seen many COM
ments and requests concerning
electric blankets, and now feel
that I have something Of interest
to offer.
I have owned an electric blanket
for the past two years and have
been much pleased with it. 1t is
everything it is advertised as be-
ing, washes easily, ETC., but now. I
have just purchased an electric
mattress cover and I much prefer
it to the blanket.
There are no controls to set,
just plug it in and it keeps con-
slant temperature just two or four
degrees above body temperature.
1t is covered by the bottom sheet,
therefore does not become soiled
and require washing as often as
the blanket.
1t is approved by the U. L. and
American Medical Association for
relief of ailments where heat is
required. 1t is not for sale IN

only through factory representa-

PAINT PROBLEM?

(From Mrs. V. NJ, WashingtonJ
I have a problem which per-
haps some of the readers can
help me solve. In the spring I
had my apartment painted by a
young man who is not a painter.
The paint man sent a decorator
from one of the leading paint
manufacturers to give me sug-
gestions as to colors. ETC., and
then we started off. I asked the
paint man what to use to wash
down the walls in my kitchen and
he told me that would not be nee
esoary, that I could save work
| if I used a coat Of fat white and
then the color.
I did wash them down but not
too thoroughly and acted on his
advice. All went we'll for about
a month and then the wall started
| to get blisters which break and
cause a yellow fluid to come
through. My wall is really get
ting to look terrible. Can any
of the readers tell me what to
do to get this paint off without
having to do the whole room over
When the blisters break, if large
enough, big pieces can be peeled
off. Any help will be appreciated,

(From Mrs. M.DG., HGgersto1UnJ
Some time ago a lady asked for

least a hundred years old and is

vania Dutch grandmother and I
still make it often.

granulated sugar, 212 cups of fresh
buttermilk or freshly clabbered
sour milk, salt to taste, dash of
nutmeg, dash of black pepper.

CLOTHES FOR NEW ORLEANS.

- OASA~~~~
From M. J. r.. WaShingtonJ
If Mrs. A. S., Riverdale, will check
with the United States Weather
Bureau, she will be informed
that in New Orleans, La, the
cycles of cold weather last 3 days.
5 days, 7 days and perhaps oc-
casionally II days. Each cold
spell is followed by warmer
weather, such as you may have
in early spring. and thus the
cycle is repeated all through the
winter season. Summer clothing
would not be appropriate. or in
many respects the weather in
New Orleans is similar to that of
Washington.
Crepe dresses, light woolen
dresses, or heavier wooleu for real
cold days. navy blue OF dark COL
ored woolen suits. a medium
weight Woolen coat, as well as
heavy wooden coat, would be
appropriate. The coldest weather
arrives in January and February.
1t may sleet and icicles may 1angle
from trees. Occasionally. you see
snow furries in the air, but they
do not settle so that YOU can tell
| it has been showing.
When it is warm in Washington.
it is warm in New Orleans. When
it is cold here, it is cold there.
When the sun is shining here, it
is usually shining there. When
rain is falling here, New Orleans
may also have rainy weather.
1t is said the British lost the
Battle OF New Orleans because
they were unprepared for Janu-
ary'S cold weather. Either the
Association of Commerce, New
Orleans, La. or the United States
Weather Bureau will give you ac-
curate information upon request.
Reliable information about any
place in the United States of
America can be obtained by con-
racting Senators or Representa-
tives' offices of the particular State
lyou are interested in. All cities
have a chamber of commerce or
association of commerce which
distribute information of locality.
