LEWIS AND THE UNITED MINE WORKERS Newspapers of the country since the strike in the “Captive Coal mines” began have been making a “whipping boy” out of John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica. For more than a half century the United Mine Workers Union has lived and grown. When they were first or ganized, the country had no compensat ion laws and men worked in the most dangerous types of employment, includ ing mines, and “Assumed the Risk of Their Employment”. That is, if they were injured while at work or killed neither the miner nor his surviving widow and children received any bene fits. In those days miners worked in gas filled mines with open light flames on their caps and as a result many liv es were lost through explosions and fires. There were no safety devices and laws compelling them to be adopted and enforced. Wages were low and living conditions of the miners were little or no better than those of the hogs. Schools for the children of min ers were miserable makeshifts for the education of youth. These deplorable conditions, j thanks to John L. Lewis and his assoc iates, have been vastly changed for the better. Miners, black and white, South as well as North, receive decent wages. Tens of thousands of them have purchased homes, reared splendid boys and girls who are serving their various communities and country in every field of human effort. And the benefits have not come to the members of the Union alone; all workers have received them. One old question still remains un settled; THE CLOSED SHOP. That is, all workers in an industry must be long to the union, if they work. Stated in another way, Union men refuse to work on a job with non-union men. It is not in any sense a new question with John L. Lewis; it has been with us since unions were first formed in Am erica. Organized industry insists that for labor to-demand a 100 percent mem bership which it enjoys, is depriving workers of their Liberty. Labor coun ters by saying simply that it but fol lows the example of modern business and industry, which, “if you want to know something” are rather well or ganized. Public attention at the moment is focused on the United Mine Workers and John L. Lewis, their President. But the fact remains that the United Mine Workers organization is the only large organization in the country, the government of the United States in cluded, which practices democracy for all the members of its far flung empire In it there is no discrimination on ac count of race, creed or color. And it works always to raise the standard of living for its members and, therefore, the standard for all men and women the country over by so much. It is our hope the strike may be settled in the ‘Captive Mines” and in all other industries. But nothing is settled until it is settled right. We think too many burdens have been heaped upon the President of the .United States; that he should have in his cabinet persons wise enough and brave enough and strong enough to deal with such problems as strikes present in this emergency. That would free the president from the embarrass ments which flow from personal con troversy with the leader of any seg ment of our population. We shall find a solution for our present labor troubles. The sons of the workers of this country will of neces sity become the vast majority in our armed forces. If their security is threatened by strikes and lockouts, don’t place the blame for it on John L. Lewis, but ra ther believe the threat to grow out of the policies and practices of the past few years which sought to ‘make every one equal by pulling all men down to the lower levels” so that there would be no rich and poor, but only the poor; so that the fortunate would become the unfortunate, to change our dream of a society of the blessed for a society of the damned. John L. Lewis is a GREAT MAN AND A GREAT AMERICAN. Would to God we had millions like him in this troubled world. -— f... -. MISS MARGARET DALLAS Miss Margaret Dallas, wh just recently been appointed Senior Hostess at Fort Riley, Kansas, is a na tive Omaha, Nebraskan, a graduate of Central High School here and holds a Bachelors and Masters degree from Northwestern University, Chicago. For several years Miss Dallas has been engaged in Social service work in Chicago, where she is highly regarded in her field. Congratulations, Miss Dallas. You have been a credit to yfour mother yourself, your native city and your race. And as a result of your example there will be many emulous rivals am ong the young women of the race and country. THE BRITISH START FIGHTING At last Great Britain has begun an offensive action in North Africa, after we had about despaired of her ever shooting a gun in this war since Russia received and absorbed the full shock of Germany’s armed might. Here in the United States about all we could hear was the fine; the mat chless oratory of Churchill. But the reports of military action now to re lieve the terrific pressure on Russia, is most welcome news. Interspersed with it, however, is the suggestion that Britain expects the United States t<* send men and planes to take over a part of the fighting in North Africa Disquieting as that may sound, every one who has followed the trend of ev* ents, surely expected it. At least and at last, we have ac tion by British troops. ONE OF THE FREEDOMS THREATENED The new's dispatches tell of an army colonel who has suggested to his* soldiers what churches they may aria may not atend. That is the Hitler way —not ours. One of the FOUR FREEDOMS your Commander-in Chief declares must prevail is “FREEDOM OF WOR SHIP”. That is not the first instance ot Hitlerish utterance we have heard, nor Hitlerish action, either. All of them are wrong who would Hitlerize anything in this country. And anyone who does so, is not one whit better than Hitler. It will be use less to preach against Hitler in this land of ours and do the very things to our own people which we condemn Hit ler for doing to the peoples of Europe. Our duty is to preserve such fre« dom as we have and gain for all citiz ens who are denied any need of it.
