Growing Labor Strife
And Coal Shortages
Hit Trade, Industry
By the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Business
and industry lost ground this week
to steadily worsening labor condi-
tions and growing coal shortages.
Industrial production dipped for
the second week In a row. And
while it gave no cause for undue
alarm. it did involve larger
number of individual Arms and
businesses than in the preceding
week and tended to upset time
tables all along the business front.
There was another sharp in
crease in unemployment which
translated itself quickly into
slower retail trade and a lower
volume of new orders. Highly un-
favorable weather in many areas
contributed to the disappointing
result.
Many Areas Affected.
While the cumulative effects OF
the prolonged dispute in the coal
mines was responsible for a large
part of the difficulties encountered
by business and industry this
week. the sudden outbreak of la
Dor unrest in widely scattered
areas caused the most irritation.
There were dozens of strikes or
other manifestations of unrest in
such diverse lines as mushroom
canning, electric appliances, pub
lie utilities. tug boating, farm
machinery, ship building, steel
making and trucking. Trouble
also lurked in the vast system Of
the American Telephone Co.
The new batch Of labor troubles,
superimposed on the long existing
coal dispute and the two-week- -old
Chrysler strike. caused some OBJ
servers to wonder If the promising
outlook for business in the first
half of 1850 would have to be
revised.
Overall business conditions in
January were highly satisfactory
despite the recurring spells of bad
weather and steadily dwindling
coal piles. A feature of the month
was the large volume of business
transacted at the various seasonal
merchandise shows, particularly
the furniture shows at Chicago
and New York.
Strong Demand Seen.
Another sustaining influence
was the heavy sales of television
sets and equipment and the extra
ordinary interest in the auto
mobile shows held in the Nations
key cities. The booming building
industry has thrived throughout
the winter without the usual sea-
sonal let down.
How long these links in the
economic chain will continue
strong depends in large measure
on high level of employment
which will insure adequate pur-
chasing power to absorb the
mounting pile of goods being
turned out. 1t requires no crystal
ball to see that any large-scale
strikes or industrial shutdowns
because of the lack of coal will
put an effective brake on the
strong tides that now prevail.

376 per 1000 strength-a Ia per

Northwest Starts StratOcruiser
 Service To Alaska

SEATTLE, (R - With Karlyne Abele, Miss Washington of 1850, cutting a ribbon to free the ship for flight. Northwest Airlines in- augurated Boeing Stratocruiser service to Anchorage, Alaska, at 500 am. this morning from the Seattle-Tacoma airport.
 Frank C. Judd, company vice president for the western region, said this would cut the flight time to Anchorage by an hour and 50 minutes over. the DC-4 equipment presently in use.
 The use of the 75 passenger sky giant on the Alaskan run will re- lease two DC-4's-one. passenger and one cargo plane-for use on the military airlift now being op- erated by VIVA to Tokyo to SUD- ply the Korean campaign.
 The first StratocruiSer flight to Anchorage comes on the fourth anniversary of NWA's nonstop service to the Alaskan town and on the first anniversary of the company's transcontinental strat- ocruiser service. On Oct. 1, 1949, VIVA began sending the huge plane direct to Honolulu.

Indians Ask Right To Buy Liquor

BELLINGHAM, (R The Ma tional Congress of American h. dians asked yesterday for repeal of the ban on sale of liquor to ln- dianS.
 It was one of the resolutions adopted at the closing session of the convention here.
 The Congress opposed the Alas ka statehood bill unless the clause forbidding creation of reservations for the Indians in Alaska is re- moved. It also urged what was de- scribed as "a living wage" for natives of the Pribilof Islands in the government-controlled fu r seal industry.
 Another resolution asked the Amateur Athletic Union to return Jim Thorpe, noted Indian athlete, the medals he won in the 1912 Olympic games. They were taken from him for professionalism.
 The convention called on the in- terior department to join with the Indian Congress and the govern or's interstate council on Indian Affairs to develop workable program for rehabilitation of In dians. It proposed a united front i1 asking Congress for funds.

but / hope that a few people
will consider this statement OF
sufficient importance to read it
through.
Heads that are possibly cooler
and wiser than mine have coun-
seled me not to write this, be-
cause they believe in so doing
I will be lowering myself to the
gutter level of my critics. How
ever, sometimes a thought may
need saying so badly or a prin-
ciple may necessitate its own
maintenance so fully that the
fight must be taken on.
I am also aware that every
war must have its casualties.
I don't like war and I deplOre
casualties, but here goes.
When a public newspaper in
dulges in a campaign of vilifi-
cation, through harac r
assassination, motivated by the
personal hatred of its publisher,
it is abandoning its responsible
ties to maintain the freedom of
the press. Freedom of the press
does not mean license to destroy
individuals and organizations at
the mere whim of the person
who by happenstance is the
owner of the physical property
of the newspaper.
Under our form Of govern
ment, a democracy, we have
q constitution which spells
out our basic rights. We have
q legislative branch Of gov
ernment whose responsibility
it is to enact laws which will
establish the proper priority
Of those rights in any given
circumstance and protect the
free exercise Of those rights
within the framework Of the
law. Our executive branch
administers and enfOrces the
laws IL enacted. Our judicial
branch appraises whether or
not any law squares up with
our constitution and gives full
trial to any dispute which
may arise under the law or
to any breach of the law. No
newspaper or individual has
the right to arrOgate to him
sTelf these governmental func-
tiOns and prerOgatives.

lis Your Security

Suppose you wanted a Union
Shop.
Suppose there were 200 en-
ployees in your plant.
Suppose the NLRB held an
election to determine whether
you wanted a union shop or not.
Suppose 100 of the employees
were on vacation, or sick, or
didn't bother to vote at all.
Suppose the rest of you voted
90 in FAVOR of Union Shop,
and only l vote AGAINST.
How would you come out!
You'd LOSE.
Under Taft-Hartley, as the
NLRB determines it, the vote
would be 90 in FAVOR and 1O1
AGAINST. The one vote against,
and the 100 who did not vote at
all. would all be coun e d
AGAINST union security.
That's Taft-Hartley.
If this happened to YOU, as
it has happened to other union
workers, HOW WOULD YOU
