Chicago. Detroit We Must Make Ready to Endure The coil miners' strike, already beginning to be effective, the most serious for the national economy of my such strike in history. Up to now, there )ud always been the possibility of the Federal government seizing the mines and making terms with John L. Lewis, but thi? strike to take effect when rhc government is already in charge of the mines, and there no longer any possibility of government seizure to remedy the situation. i.

Lewis has coolly sidestepped the government's efforts to continue mining coal. The mine operators are not in charge because they have not bcsn willing, up to now, to take over the mines and work them on what they consider a difficult contract with the miners which the Federal government negotiated. Now, Lewis wants even more favorable terms than the Government first gave him. It is the beginning of cold weather, when there will be great demand for fuel for heating purposes. Great industries, such as steel, have only enough coal to last them a few weeks.

Railroads are not in oversupply of fuel and already a 2 5-percent reduction in passenger train service has been ordered, together with reduction of freight sen-ice that is not regarded ns essential. Some of the largest utilities have but a limited supply of fuel and may have to curtail their electric current. Depending, as so many homes and office do, on electrically-operated heating plants, there is probability that even people using oil for fuel may find their heating plants down. In days of other great coal strikes, there was always some coal being produced, but Mr. Lewis, thanks to Federal legislation, has the ability to shut down all coal production instead of a mere portion of it, as in the days when Lewis did not control by Federal aid practically all the production of coal in the country.

The current mine strike promises a real trial of endurance by miners and the public in general. President Truman made an appeal to the miners to remain at their posts, but the appeal seems to have been scorned by the miners. Their reply has been a quitting of jobs.two days before the time set for them to quit. There impends a general silencing of industry, a disabling of business in all lines, a suspension of in homes and Everybody is going to suffer, even the striking nw'ncrs. Beneficial 'Violation People talk about the law'of supply and demand as if it were some immutable statute, graven in granite, not to be tampered with.

Actually, it is Abroad set of principles, flexible to the extreme, and yielding to all sorts of pulling and hauling. A bunch of our local businessmen are "violating the law of supply and demand" right now, and only a classical economist of grandfather's day would say that the "violation" is not beneficial. A used 1946 automobile, today, is selling on the open market for as much as $500 to 41500 above the price of a new car. By "open market" we mean what buyers will bid to obtain a 1946 model. The other day an Altonian offered a 1946 coupe, for which she had paid $1425 several months ago, for sale to the highest bidder.

In a few hours time the bidding was at $19fO. Last night, we noticed in a metropolitan paper that a luxury car that sells for $2100 was being offered for $5200, more than double the original cost. In the face of such a super-heated seller's market, Alton auto dealers are holding their new car prices nt substantially the prices that existed under OPA. Yet, every car th.it they sell would bring at least $400 or $500 more if they put it out on the open market. A late used model sells for more than a new car for one reason.

It is offered as available immediately, whereas the purchase of a new car requires waiting for one's turn. This added "value" of the available car has nothing to do with its real value, which consists of the cost of manufacture and a reasonable margin of profit. In ignoring the so-called law of supply and demand by underselling the open-market prices of 1946 models, the dealers arc retaining the consumers' good will, providing cars at a lower price, and using an orderly method of distributing a short supply. All these things arc beneficial both to the and the consumer, despite the face that the 1 )- breaking an economic law that is supposed to be inviolable. TAe Tragic Weekend The pre-war weekend has returned, The Monday newspaper has become, again, the chronicler of' tragedy, Traffic accidents are on the increase; the number of dead and injured grows.

The List two weekends in Alton area have recorded the deaths of four persons, the injury of a larger number of others, in traffic accidents. The automobile death is one of the tragedies of American life. Most traffic deaths could lx- avoided. The loss of life, the injuries, the damage to property, could be reduced, if not completely avoided, if every person who drives an automobile would resolve always to think of the other car, the other driver; if every driver would determine that he never would be "in the wrong." Then, "the other fellow" would cease to be. With nobody "in the wrong, 1 collisions would be reduced to those that arc purely accidental, and there would be few of these.

Some persons, always solicittous of others, would shudder Ht the thought of endangering the life of another; would be incensed if accused of disregard for OJf others; yet, once in an automobile, 25 Years Ago to any but thenMclves, Every operator of an automobile owes it to those in his car, November 19, 1921 Cordle N. de Hernandez, former Alton woman, who was residing in Columbia, said that an American boxer, Dan Brewer, had appeared in Columbia and hart knocked out the Columbian champion In 20 seconds of the first round. The writer, asserting thai she was an American, snid that she was overjoyed at seeing nn American again and that she was even when the American won the boxing bout She said that when the two men entered the ring they appeared evenly matched, the Columbian having a slight edge, if there was any difference to be seen. The City of Carrollton authorized the Issuance of $4000 in bonds to finance the purchase of a new fire engine. The engine was to be mounted on Reo truck.

Two New York men called a meeting of Alton deaf mutes and outlined a plan whereby they might take jobs with a New York industry and would be guaranteed work for as long as they warited It. Several Altonians were said to look with favor on the plan, but there were no reported acceptances of the offer. It was announced that "Denver Kid" Curley would meet Everett (Sox) Hose in a wrestling bout at Schillinger's Hall at Wood River tomorrow night. The men were middlewelghts. Plans to form an athletic club at Wood River were being discussed.

Armour Co. announced a wage cut for its 26,000 employes, and Swift and other meat packers were expected to follow suit. The cut was agreed upon, an announcer said, by officials of the company and a committee of employes. The cut was seven and one-half cents an hour for employes getting 45 cents an hour-or less, three cents an hour for skilled men. A bottom rate of 25 cents an hour for women was set.

People Commending Truman Action to Avert Coal Strike 50 Years Ago November 19, 1896 Lee Goodman, IS, a brakeman recently employed by the Burlington and assigned to a crew in the local yards, had been fatally injured when crushed between the draw-heads of two cars when attempting to withdraw the pin so a coupling could be made. His death took place at the home of his mother, Mrs.

E. C. Jones, on Second, near Langdon, where Dr. G. Taphorn had been called to attend him.

Coroner Kinder conducted an inquest. The jury heard testimony of George Thompson, engineer, and Joseph Coleman, a witness of the accident, and, after examining the car coupling, returned a verdict holding the young brakeman's death was due in part to faulty condition of the draw-head. Goodman's body was to be taken to Hunnewell, for interment. Return of Henry Watson from Chicago was awaited for the settlement of a controversy between Contractors David Rynn and William Hutchinson as to which held contract for filling in a sidewalk area on Market, near Ninth, from which stone had been quarried in past years. Both contractors had been engaged on the fill, and Hutchinson was arrested after an altercation with Ryan's men, Hutchinson said he already rfad filled about 1000 cubic yards on Ninth street.

Omar Bradley, Vi'ti-runs Administrator. to all others on the street or highway, to drive carefully. By DAVID -tAWHENCE WASHINGTON, Nov. Th arm of, the'law has stretched ou at last from the federal govern ment to stop a strike. For years the La Guardin-Nor rls anti-Injunction law has stooc between employers and unions an prevented the courts from inter venlng In labor disputes.

But President Truman, llkd som of his predecessors Cleveland and resorted to the power of the Injunction to present the public interest. This was no the only method open. The Smith Connally law provides crimina penalties for those who dlscourag miners from continuing to work for the government. Even th phrase "no contract-no work" Is such a discouragement and, If at tributed to any mine union leader can mean prosecution. BUt the provisions of the Smith Connally law mean prolonged steps and a trial by jury.

The violation of an injunction means a charge of "contempt," which Is punishable by a judge alone and can bring immediate imprisonment. In past crises, John L. Lewis, as leader of the miners' union, has bowed to the will of the government. He may do so again. For otherwise he runs the risk of break-up of his own union by the government.

The seizure of the funds of the union is but one of many steps that can demoralize the operations of a union. The reasoning that led the administration finally to come to grips with the miners' union has not been revealed, but it seems probable that the President became aware that another nation-wide crisis such as occurred when the rail transportation strike developed last spring would just about end the Truman administration's chances of maintaining any vestige of public confidence and might even lead to drastic action In the next Congress. The Initiative might then pass to the Republicans. It is reported, too, that Secretary Krug, who is a courageous individual with none of the customary characteristics of political expediency in his make-up, felt that a showdown was due. The publication of the letters exchanged with Mr.

Lewis and the sharp disagreement that the contract was terminable by the miners' union was a signal that the government at last was ready to take the case to the courts and was preparing public opinion for that contingency. While the restraining order or injunction can be argued before November 27th, it seems probable the order will be continued indefinitely. The problem could drift for many weeks without a settlement of the legal Issues. Whether much coal will be mined during the interim is the big question. The Constitution protects the right of the individual not to be forced to work against his will.

But the important point is whether a miner is refraining from work because of his own individual decision or as a result of a conspiracy by two or more other Individuals who have persuaded him not to report for work. The federal government can prosecute local mine union leaders and can assert its authority in dozens of ways. Certainly there will be some walkouts and many miners will stay away as a consequence of the general publicity in the press to the effect that Lewis terminated the at least trie4 to do so. Whether the miners will recognize the legal distinctions, and particularly the view of the government of the United States that the contract remains in effect, is anybody's guess. Certainly if the miners intend to stay out on Urike indefinitely, the President call Congress Into special session and ask for authority to draft the miners.

For it will be recalled that there has been no termination of a state of war and the war powers acts and selective service system could be amended. The President proposed similar legislation when the rail workers went out on strike, and they went back to work promptly. Lewis has nothing to gain by forcing the President to talke an extreme position. The American people are commending Mr. Truman for what lie has done, but they will wish he hud proceeded sooner and that he had not bucked away from labor legislation at the lust session of SIDE GLANCES ByGalbralfth TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, Answers To Questions Mall inquiries to Informstlon Bureau, Haskln Service, 316 N.

TheDMy WASHINGTON MERKtf GO ROUND By Drew Pearson GOP Again 'Recognized' By Washington Society WASHINGTON, Nov. amusing sight on the Merry-Go Round scene today is the frantl scramble of the socialites, the lob byists, and the local power poll ticians to get religion in a hurry In this case, religion is bette: known as the GOP. After 14 year of Democratic rule, the Republi cans were so far down the socia 1st they almost developed an In 'eriority complex.

But now they an a grand comeback. The in vitations to once-scorned Republi can senators and congressmen have doubled and tripled, as hostesse bid for the newly-won prestige SOP solons.

A at the wall shows, however hat although the picture was re cently hung, it was not recently autographed. "For my dear riend, George E. Allen. With bes vishes, A. H.

New Witch-Hunt About two weeks before elections Mississippi's rootln' tootin' Con- -essman John Ranlcln, Democrat ind New Jersey's witch-hunting 'arnell Thomas, Republican, put heir heads together and agreed hat, with a Republican election ertain, now was the time to sweep iut of the government all the llb- rals whom Rarikln and Thomas do iot like.

Thomas was to carry the ball just enough to retain some semblance of being chairman, but most of the work was to be done by the so- called "gentleman from Mississippi." The agreement was no sooner reached than Robert Stripling, former chief investigator under Martin Dies, and three times deferred from the draft, was re-employed. Stripling was given the promise that he would become chief investigator under the Republican Congress beginning in.January. Since his return, Stripling has been slipping into the old House office building by the southeast entrance, wearing dark glasses to con? ceal his identity. In addition, a suntan picked up in the army has helped disguise him. For three weeks he has been busy going over the files of the old Dies committee, lining up a master list of those in the federal service whom the Rankin committee will smear at the first opportunity.

Prediction: Congress is in for more witch-hunting than since the days when ex-Congressman Ham Fish of New York followed a hot lead to an old trunk in a Baltimore warehouse, supposed to be full of Soviet documents. When he lifted the lid, he found only cabbages. Republican Closed-Door Caucus There was only one major dispute when the house Republican steering committee held its closed-door caucus on legislative policies the otliei day. This was over whether the Republicans should accept all of the reorganization act, adopted at the last Congress and providing for consolidation of congressional committees. Elder Statesman Jim Wadsw.orth of New York finally settled the dispute in his level-headed way, with few feelings fractured.

Rep. Sterling Cole of New York, high-ranking member of the naval affairs committee, started the debate by warmly opposing the merger of the naval affairs and military affairs commltees into one 33- man committee on armed forces, as provided by the act. Cole argued that the consolidation would be untimely unless the army and navy themselves were merged. He pointed out that most members of the military commiUet- favored army navy unification, while most naval committee members opposed it; therefore throwing two battling factions into a single committee would merely cause disharmony. 'Until the merger question is settled, these two committees should remain independent," Cole Rep.

Leslie Arenils of Illinois, member of the military committee, plus several others, echoed same view. But Wadsworth quickly harpoor.ed their objections. "National 'iefense is an overall matter and should be handler! as such by a single committee," the big New York cattle fann- er and ex-senator. Our experience vith overlapping defense legislu- ion during the last war proved his conclusively, Wadsworth con- Inued. It''was absurd, lie added, or the army and navy to continue bring their closely related prob- ems before separate committees.

Upshot was that the GOP leaders went on record to accept the eorganlzatlon act in toto, with he understanding that changes might be made later if necessary.

How many perfect game have been recognized by the Amer loan Bowling Congress to date' L. F.

R. A. As of August 1946, the American Bowling Congress hft officially recognized 2,209 perfec games since 1906. These awards have gone to only 2,79 bowlers due to the fact that som men have been able to roll two or more 300 games. Q.

Elmer A. Sperry.

Q. Are the fingerprints of the right and left hands of an individual ever the same? W.

B. A. No two single fingerprin impressions have been found to'be identical. This being true, the fingerprints on the right hand are not identical with the fingerprints on the left hand of any particular individual, nbr is the fingerprint on the right thumb identical with the left thumb, the right index finger identical with the left Index finger, et cetera.

The newcomer is Senator Irving M. Ives, scholarly, 50. year-old New York Republican, who had an impressive labor record in the New York State Assembly and at Cornell University It was! Ives who fathered the bipartisan committee on labor legislation in the New York legislature, and steps are now being taken privately to set up a similar committee in Congress. Chief behind-the-scenes plugger for this plan is Brewster. Already he has had some confidential chats with labor spokesmen, has warned that unless they play ball, drastic legislation scuttling the Wagner act is sure to be enacted.

Brewster's idea is to negotiate a covenant for labor peace between Congress and labor, which could, if successful, obviate the need of rough, legislative crackdowns. Such a peace pact might take the form of a stroke moratorium or an agreement to arbitrate major disputes. Come what may, some labor curbs, including revision of the Wagner act, seem certain to be voted, but Brewster believes these curbs can be tempered in direct proportion to labor's ability to control its own mavericks. In private talks with lab.or leaders, Brewster has put it" this way: "American business exceeded itself in the 20's and. suffered the consequences.

Labor has been guilty of the same thing in the last ten years and will also find itself behind the eight-ball unless you fellows do something to end these strikes."
