Asher-Stillson Families Meet At Charles Stillson Home The annual reunion of the Asher-Stillson families was held Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles The driver of this car disregarded a plainly marked warning sign and crossed the tracks directly into the path of a passenger train. His machine teas swept up like a leaf and raked over the tracks.

The driver and two occupants were killed. Signs, lights and bells are placed at crossings for the protection of motorists. Yet 2,000 were killed last year, and 70,000 injured, because they did not trouble to stop, look both ways, and listen for the warning whistle. fmmmmikjvi wi km parties settled and determined exclusively by the machinery provided in the "settlement of local and district disputes' section of this agreement, or if national in character, by the full use of free and collective bargaining as heretofore known and practiced in the industry." Thii means that the miners, the steel company and the operators will stay out of the way of the national labot relations board and the cumbersome machinery of the Taft-Hartley act will not be called into play to settle grievances. Lewis claims an increase of something like $3.50 per day for his miners but, as a matter of fact, it is nearer $1.20 since his claim of increase is based on the difference between the former operator contract and the new one, when actually he obtained 22'2 cents an hour increase when the government took over the mines.

Lewis, however, does not count that increase in his reckoning.

i 8 3: REV. ROBERT ITRICH AT All! This is an Indiana owned America's Cleanest and Refined UNIFICATION of the armed serv- i ices under a civilian secretary of national security before adjournment of this session of congress appeared certain as the senate passed the bill and sent it along to the house as "must" legislation. President Truman repeatedly has Urged passage of the bill, which its proponents declare will eliminate waste and duplication of effort and provide for a combined armed services with a single head over subordinate secretaries of departments of the navy, the army and the air force. After a two-day debate, in which Sen. Edward V.

Robertson of Wyoming led the opposition against the measure, it was passed over whelmingly in the upper house by voice vote. Surmise as to whether or not other labor unions, particularly CIO unions in the automobile and steel industries, will fare as well as John Lewis' miners under the Taft-Hart ley act when new contracts come up, indicate thev will not. In the first place, there was about as much col lective bargaining in arriving at an agreement on the Lewis coal con tract as Hitler offered Poland before he invaded. Lewis gave steel and coal an ultimatum and they accepted accepted a contract which obviously by-passes the new labor law in that the contract itself takes care of all possibilities which may arise to keep the mine union in the clear and out of the realm of the national labor relations board. The contract names the United Mine Workers union as the bargaining agent, hence there is no call for an election; it does not contain a "no strike pledge," hence a strike by one union or all would not be a contract violation; it provides the men work only "when able and willing" to work, which is a hole big enough to drive a team through; it follows the labor law in setting up the miners recreation or welfare fund but names Lewis as the chairman; It permits the check-off with each miner giving his individual authority.

It takes the whole contract from under the NLRB by declaring, "the contracting parties agree that as a part of the consideration of this contract any and all disputes, work stoppages, suspensions of work and any and all claims, demands or actions growing therefrom or Involved therein shall be by the contracting GETS NEW ROOF FREE.

There is a chance, however, if congress adjourns as per schedule, that the President will have the opportunity of permitting the bill to die with a pocket veto or letting it die without his signature until congress adjourns. Farmers, cooperatives and other rural organisations are vitally Interested in this measure since it would permit railroads and other carriers, Including truck companies, to fix non-competitive rates on everything the farmer uses and ships without regard to the present laws in restraint of trade.

Preparing for a second Presidential veto of the tax reduction bill, the GOP leadership is making every effort to garner enough votes to pass the measure over the veto, GOP leaders asserting they will stay in session, despite a fixed adjournment date of July 26, In order to get a vote to override. The re-passed bill would make tax reduction start January 1, 1948, Instead of July 1, 1947, as the first bill provided.
