Behind Miners Loyalty
To UMWA
CA Clipping)

Vs. ~ANSF~~-Sf
The average coal miner OF John
L. Lewis United Mine Workers OF
America is a man with memories
OF time lar grimmer for miners
than now. You have to under
stand to know why the men who
dig coal have tough-and often
blind-loyalty to their union.
Coal mining doesn't lure many
young men today. Consequently,
the bulk of UMWA's members
are getting along in years. They
have spent two, three and some
times four decades in the mines.
Most grew up around the coal
fields, in mine families. They re
member, bitterly, conditions that
existed in the 192O's, and know
by hearsay the even worse con-
ditions that were general in the
earlier 19O0's and before the turn
OF the century.
Miners have made. long, long
Strides since then The bitumin-
Gus miner now has a minimum
rate OF $l6.35 for a days work
with lot less drudgery and a lot
more safety. Old-timers in h e
mines don't let anyone forget that.
They'll tell you: Before the union
began fighting for US, a mine OPP
orator could hire miners to work
a back-breaking 10-hour day for
less than we get for an hours
work.
Economists can argue, on the
soundest of grounds, that the i'm
provements in pay and working
conditions of miners didn't come
just as result of UMW-tlthough
the fighting existence of the uni
on undoubtedly speeded the i'm
provementS, and pushed them
further along than they otherwise
would have gone Such an argu-
ment doesn't alter one whit the
firm conviction of miners that
UNIV and Big John" Lewis are
the shining cause of their better
lot in life.
Hugh Payne, veteran OF Al
years Of mining in Tennessee
stirred old memories several
weeks ago.
Mr.. Payne, now of Jellico
Tenn, went to work in the coal
field shortly after his 18th birth
day (There was nothing unusual
about that; in 1910, a boy of II
was considered grown enough to
start light" work as mine
coupler, trapper, or oiler-at half
the wage paid for a man,
Young Payne's father was draw
ing top wages in the mine when
the boy became miner. He told
his son that he would see the day
when miners would make lot
more money. Already, he said,
conditions were a lot better than
they had been in 1897
To prove it, he gave the boy an
old work agreement between the
Falls River Coal Co. of Oswego,
Tenn, and its miners. Signed Oct.
27, 1897, the contract set wage
rates ranging from cents an
hour for boys to 172 cents an
hour for two tap-rated jobs, the
head trackman and mine black
smith. (Most rates ranged be-
tween 10 cents an hour and Is
cents an hour.l
The agreement, typical Of ntha
ers in effect about that time, ret
uuired a 10-hour work day at the
soal seattl, It provided that niiua

DAUGHTER: "Frozen foods taste
better than preserved foods. For

food freezer saves
work and rnonev
for the Rsnakes
whole family enthusiastic

The Roby K. Rasnakes have "self-owned
super market" on their 100-acre farm near
Honaker. That's what they call the 12-foot
electric home freezer they bought less than
year ago.
Already" says Mr.. Rasnake, "the freez-
er's saved lot of worries and work for the
entire family. In single evening last
winter we froze all the meat we had killed
If we had canned or handled that amount
of meat in any other way, it would have
taken two or three days Of work."
This year the Rasnakes plan to freeze most
of the fruits and vegetables they used to
can. They've found freezing is quicker.
easier, less wasteful than any other pre-
serving method.
The freezer is helping the Rasnakes to
better eating, better living. Mr.. Rasnake
figures it costs about $119 a month to
operate It's another example of the good
things Appalachian's power lines are
bringing folks in the counties of Russell.

Meanwhile, they sure like to probe the

LET'S Not Fool Americans With False Propaqanda

us for the money we pay are false
and misleading. They are definitely
lies, but the authors are not asked
or expected to prove them.
In addition to the press and radio
n d o u is, consisting of many
thousands of words each week,
these specialists prepare hundreds
of speeches, equally as unreliable
and misleading as are the press
and radio releases. Those speeches
are delivered to any audience that
will listen.
The orators who deliver them are
drawn from that army of bureau
Gratis to be found in each division
of the federal government, in
Guiding social security, agriculture,
interior, national defense, justice
and others, all of them paid out of
taxes of us Americans, and each of
them paid far more than they could
earn on any other job they could
get.
These bureaucrats selected for
the purpose seek the opportunity to
talk to service clubs, farmers and
women's organizations, church So
cieties. Special speeches to fit
audiences of all classes and types,
are prepared by the publicity ex-
perts, and we pay both those who
write the speeches and those who
deliver them to the extent of many
millions of dollars each year.
And who is responsible for such
expenditure of the American tax
payers money? The answer to that
question is, congress. 1t is congress
that levies the taxes we must pay,
and then appropriates the money
for such expenditures as it ap-
proves. Among those receiving con-

throughout the country in a single
package-while they are still fresh.
The army's decision to create the
agency after study disclosed that
publication Of such stories in home
town newspapers not only served to
keep the people in the home towns
informed but also had tremendous
effect on the soldiers themselves.
They want credit for themselves
and their units when they feel they
deserve it.
Newspaper editors long have
been aware Of the demand by their
readers for news about local men
in the army and have spared no eff
fort in gathering this information.
But no newspaper-even with its
own reporters working in the field
with the troops-is able to give COM
plete coverage without assistance
from the army.
The major press associations,
which have done splendid job of
keeping the public informed by sup
plying newspapers with national
and state aspects of the army's
campaigns and build-up, are unable
to move large volume of purely
local news because of lack of wire
space. Stories of outstanding hero
ism and achievement by individual
soldiers have received excellent
coverage through the press asso-
Citations.
But to newspaper editor in
Helena, Ark, the story of a Helena
soldiers promotion to a sergeant
or his winning of the Bronze Star
medal is of far more Importance
to Helena newspaper and it's read
ers than a lengthy story of a Boston
or Seattle infantryman who won the
Congressional Medal of Honor or of
a five-mile advance by an army in
the field. However, none of the wire
services has the facilities to send
to the newspapers concerned the
myriad small" items of this type.
The army has few public informa-
ton men in units smaller than
division, and even at division level
the public information staff is lin
tied. 1t is the primary job Of the
small staff at this level to see that
major news is covered. Consequent
ly, little" news items that would
be of great Importance in towns
throughout the nation often are
passed up.
The army has appointed Major
Walter A. Pennino, former Boston
Globe writer and far east Command
news chief in Tokyo until last year,
to command the army central
news processing center. He has Just
been relieved of assignment with
the army's office of information in
Washington to organize and operate
the center. A small but competent
staff has already been chosen for
the job.
The army expects to release ap-
proximately 100000 home town
stories annually when full opera
tons get underway.

greSsional approval are these propa-
ganda experts, some 10000 of them,
who are employed for the purpose
of selling us the socialistic schemes
of the Fair Deal, that we may join
in the demand for legislation that
would effectuate such schemes.
Leave them on the job long
enough and they will accomplish
the purpose for which they are en-
ployed. When that happens, we will
have followed the Pied Piper of the
Fair Deal into the morass of social
ism, or worse, from which it will
take us generations to climb back
to the safe ground of free enter
prise and freedom. Congress could
stop it if congress would, and we,
the tax paying Americans pick the
men who represent us in the SEN
ate and house of representatives at
Washington.
For a period of $50 years, sue
ceeding generations have enjoyed
the opportunities and freedom that
began with the birth of our country.
AS a people, we prospered, and in
dividually, those who were indus
trious and thrifty, accumulated
beyond those of any other nation
due to our capitalistic system. We
had many ups and downs, but more
ups than downs. Now the leadership
we have would change that system
to a socialistic economy that has
never succeeded.

Mrs. Whitely's Famous Dinners"
Sara nodded in reply to his IN
asked question. She Strengthened
her hat in the rear view mirror and
put on her gloves, taking a long
time with each finger. Rob's train
must be nearly to Coddington.
THERE WE'RE long, silent min
utes between soup and chicken
and dessert. After dinner, they went
out behind the barn to see the minks,
kept in orderly cages. Mrs. Whitely's
boy fished in the pond for sunfish
to feed them. Sara bent over to SEQ
the tiny creatures and her hair
played in the wind. The gray streaks
were like light touch of snow.
She counted the minks. Two large
ones, one small one, screened off
by himself. A family? Their family
had been three-John, Rob, Sara.
Eyes, they are beautiful" she
said, Il wish I could look at them
without thinking of the coats they
are going to make" She smiled,

them, but after the first check came
in, l never thought about it again"
The train must be at Gorge City
now. Another hour and he'd be
there. She closed her eyes.
Johns arm was around her.

She murmured. Guess 1 leaned
over too long looking at the

They settled themselves in the
old car again. They could see the
farm on a distant hill.
Il still love it, John. still like
coming around that curve and see

The car whined in self-pity as it
climbed the hill John drove UP to
the front door. He fumbled for the
key and then just held it in his
hand. Something seemed to hold
him back. He didn't want to 90 into
the house. He leaned down to pat
the old collie who stood waiting
there-and saw the note. Pinned to
the dogs collar was a scrap of
paper. Together John and Sara
read it, incredulous. Drawn in the

Use of hormone sprays on
Strawberries is proving helpful in
increasing the set of the berries.
Not many years ago, almost all
strawberries were not self-fertile,
and two varieties had to be planted
to get "set." Many kinds still
produce flowers w h ic h are not
strongly fertile. The use of a COM
mercial berry-setting spray has in
creased the crop as much as 10 to
20 per cent in many instances.
