NS'h iNS"SPNfS' FNi'AhNO
CANTON, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-The hope
Of the miners was shattered when,
on December /, we were on re-
stricted work again. When
Christmas arrived with the larders
becoming empty, needless suffer-
ing being caused. no pensions and
welfare being paid by the miners
fund, there was much resentment
among large segment of the
miners.
The members of my local con-
tinually called me on the tele-
phone. bitterly complaining. BY
this time practically all miners
knew that they had taken this ter
rife beating over a controversial
issue that not a miner in my dis
trict would have struck one day
for-the willing and able" clause.
I want to get this point clear. I
had worked with the miners in my
district for 13 years. I had been
their president for six years. If
I had an enemy in my own union
was not aware of it. 1t was only
natural that the individual miner,
literally losing his shirt and help
less to do anything about it, came
to me with his troubles.
Miners Complain.
If John Lewis could have heard
the complaints I received and the
feeling of our miners regarding
this protracted, unnecessary
strike, he would not have enjoyed
his Carlton Hotel suite quite as
much as he did. John Lewis, of
course, was not suffering, but he
certainly must have known that
the mine workers were doing so.
About the first of February the
papers reported that up to that
date Lewis and the operators were
still stalling over the willing and
able" clause and John Lewis's
full control of the pension and
welfare fund. In other words,
seven months of strikes, memorial
holidays and three-day work
weeks over trick clause which
did not interest the miners, and
practically no time spent on ne
gotiating the wage issue in which
they were interested.
The miners had the feeling that
there would not have been a single
days loss of time over the wage
issue. if that were the issue alone,
and that feeling grew as the grim
early February days wore on with
no break in the clouds.
Two Reports Build Hope.
And then our district was elec-
trif1ed with two reports which
gave hope that the miners would
soon be back in the pits. First
was the court order informing
Lewis that he could no longer
negotiate on the willing and able"
clause, which was unfair, and
that his sole control of the well
fare and pension fund was out
of order.
Second was the order of Judge
Richmond B. Keech enjoining the
United Mine Workers from con-
tinuing their strike and ordering
them back to the mines.
In the afternoon of Saturday
February II (the day of the court
order), I received a telephone call
from Bernard J. Beasley, board
member of the district and my
Evening star., 1950-08-01
Miners Angry as Talks Begged
Over WILLING and Able Clause

superior, stating that John l..
Lewis says, The whistle blows
one for Monday" which means
no work in the mines.
Then my breath was taken
away with the second order
Pull the maintenance men from
the mines Immediately" This was
an action I have never seen taken
in all of my coal-mining eXpe-
rience.
Had Defended Lewis.
Up to the moment of the court
order, which was directed at me
and each miner as much as it was
to John L. Lewis. I had. as presi-
dent of my local, defended as
best I could the actions of John
L. Lewis and the international
leaders. both in Washington and
in Illinois.
But in one hour my status had
changed. With the telephoned
order of Bernard j. Beasley. I
had to decide whether I was to be
totally disloyal to the Government
of the United States and its Fed
eral court, subject to a jail SEN
tence and fine, or be loyal to that
court order, which represented
my Government, and to make
some attempt at least to see If
our men wanted to go back to
work.
There was no in-between propo-
sition. In few hours my tele-
phone began ringing. On the
other end of the line were eager
men asking to return to work or
for my advice about returning to
work.
Summed up in one sentence,
their questions were: What are
x,o,, ooinp Tn do about it?"

Senate Tax Writers
Speed Preparation
OF Profit Measure
BY the Associated Press

The taX-writing Senate Finance
Committe - pressing for enact
ment of a multi million-d dollar ex-
cess profits tax before New Years
set a faster pace today to get
the job done.
e, Chairman George told re-
: porter he still hopes to have a
revised draft of the House-ap-
proved tax measure for Senate
action by the end of next week.
: Senator George scheduled %
witnesses for today's hearing on
the bill, after 20 witnesses yester-
day denounced the measure or
features of it. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor, an advocate of
the excess profits theory. was
down for testimony today.
Senator George said he still
hopes to wind up the hearings
Friday, leaving next week free for
actual drafting Of the measure.
Cut Being Considered.
The committee clearly is known
to be considering proposed revi-
sions of the House bill which
might cut more than 81 billion
from its anticipated revenues.
Senator George said it is too
early yet to speculate on whether
the committee might raise cor
poration income tax rates-now
as high as As per cent-to make
up for amounts cut from the ex-
cess profits tax yield.
Secretary of the Treasury Sny-
der has protested the House ver-
sion would fall $500 million below
the 81 billion tax boost which
President Truman requested to
help meet defense costs.
Senator Millikin of Colorado,
senior Republican member of the
committee. told reporters there's
nothing sacrosanct about that 81
:. billion figure
He cautioned witnesses at yes
terday'S hearing that they would
be wiser to suggest Improvements
Ito the excess profits tax than to
oppose it, lest they draw down
some alternative levy that you
would like a lot less"
Profits Tax Predicted.
He told them an excess profits
tax law will be passed-early next |
year if this Congress doesn't act.
He told reporters later that he
expects a bill will be approved |
this year.
Senators George, Millikin and |
other committee members have in
dicated there is growing sentiment |
in favor of more generous exemp-
tions than the House bill proposes
The House bill would impost a rs
per cent tax on corporation in
comes which exceed IS per cent of |
the average earnings in the three
best years from 1916 through 1949.
Some senators are talking about
changing the formula to apply the
tax on earnings above the full
amount of the average. The
Treasury Department estimates
that might reduce revenues from
the bill as much as $12 billion.
