Lewis not only causing inconvenienc to the is hurting the cause of union labor whose champion he professes to be. Hc is giving perfect example of what a willful, arrogant, man can accomplish when he thinks only of him The Lewis dictatorship complex is reaping harvest of tragedy. Schools and public buildings close or go on part time schedules in many cities; industries slow up 0 close, throwing men out of work; Lewis' own mm ers see their savings dwindle. The public, which suffers most, learns to its sor row just what can he done by a system that puts toe much power in the hands of one nun. We don't give such power to our governors, not even to the Preii dent of the United States.

But Lewis, as hc himscl is reported to have said, holds the miners in the hoi low of his h.md—and tli.it means he holds in his hand ihc power to m.ikc a nation suffer. Is Lewis thinking of his miners, who cither arc out of work or working on short schedule, with loss of income? Is Lewis thinking of the many homes that chilly because of shrinking coal piles? hc thinking of the union men in other lines laid off their jobs because of the coal shortage? We doubt that Lewis is thinking of anybody but John L. Lewis. Mis salary is a huge one, larger than those paid to thousands of business executives; he has a huge expense account; other members of his family arc drawing big salaries from the miners' union. Lewis isn't suffering; neither are his so Lewis goes on his adamant way, increasing suffering, slowing business, crippling industry, and hurting the public.

And that public begins to wonder if such a one as Lewis should be cloaked with such power. The public will be forced to conclude that Congress and the state legislatures should enact laws to curb me it who would forget all to feed an insatiable ego. And when the public concludes that an arrogant and ruthless Lewis is loo powerful, the public inevitably will be drawn to the conclusion that the power of all union leaders and the unions themselves must be lessened. John L. Lewis is hurting the cause of union labor.

7O Suggested aa the Proper Retirement Age A Harvard economist, Simmer H. Slichter, called upon as a national authority to speak on the subject of old age and survivors' insurance, brought up the subject of the propriety of changing the age from to 70 when a worker would be entitled to a retirement pension, The reason why the Harvard professor thinks that men should not be retired on pensions at 65 is that actually men do have years of usefulness and greater happiness if they can work after they arc 65. The average man has much left in him at 65, but while he is at the peak of his potential usefulness hc i.i retired. A man has been accumulating knowledge by experience at whatever work hc docs and when hc is 65 the probable slowing down of the worker is more than compensated for by his great fund of knowledge through experience which hc can apply in discharge of whatever duties he may have in hand. It is utterly foolish and a great loss to fix a man's career of maximum usefulness at the age of 65.

There is many an unhappy retired worker who finds it difficult to content himself when hc no longer has his customary duties to perform.

Every property had a large burn at the rear for horse and buggy or carriage, and many also kept a cow. Attached to every barn was a woodshed where a year's supply of wood could be stored, and next to the woodshed was a small toilet building, called the back-house or privy. No toilet facilities being available in the homes. Each house had its well or deep cistern for rain water, which was piped to the kitchen sink, where a hand pump made it available for dish washing or for filling the wooden tubs for the family laundry, or large tin tubs which could be moved from room to room for the Saturday night baths. There were no street crossings except occasional stepping stones, but at the corner of Twelfth and George streets there was a row of very high, narrow stepping stones.

When the senator from Wisconsin finally was pinned down, he could produce not 57, but only four names of Slate Department officials whom he claimed were Communists.
