Ansengruber, the former Ger- Mgt, heard about the plight of the little ATT while trimming a Christmas tree in his home in Philadelphia.

This does not minimize the heroism of Ansengruber wha, explaining his action, said he had found a wonderful, new life in the United State nd wanted to show his gratitude by. volunteering for the operation.

The miners paid. The same leadership in March cost the miners two weeks’ pay for a strike ordered to protest the appointment of James Boyd as director of the United States, Bureau.of Mines. It has failed to negotiate a new con- 30. t It put the miners on a three-day week in mid-summer with heavy loss in ‘pay. It ealled a second strike for 52 days which ended November 10. It has dissipated the welfare fund— no coal mined, no 20-éents-a-ton royalty. It insulted the head of the United States mediation service. The current report of one of the lead- ing coal companies for the nine months ended September 30, 1949, shows that on a five-day week basis from January 1 to November 9, the mines lost 82 days due'to strikes. The loss in wages to the miners in this particular eompany for the period in question was $1,250 per union employee. Labor leadership in the coal mines ‘many. years, and the miners’ loss in wages has been ‘enormous. Wages in other lines wtihout disastrous strikes each year. i The United Mine Workers’ long con- tinued policy of insolence shows the lengths to which an uncontrolled monopoly will go to gain its end. It has forced hours, work- ing conditions and wages on the coal in- dustry, regardless of the laws of econom- ics, that make it impossible for that indus- try under normal conditions to pay those wages and operate at a profit. That is part of the reason the coal industry is only employing 400,000 men and that is why it is losing a large percentage of the Amer- iean fuel business that it used to have. Labor rates, like other commodities, are supposed to be competitive. But coal mine labor rates under the United Mine Workers’ monopoly are not. The product of the mines, however, must be sold in a highly competitive field. Thus U. M. W. leadership is rapidly turning the coal bus- iness over to competitive fuels and destroy- ing jobs of miners. Every author thinks, in his heart, that he has written a great volume. If it wasn’t for the. detailed work, every businessman would be a wizard. MILITARY SPENDING Current military appropriations total $15,585,000,000, according to an Associat- ed Press dispatch, which says that the to- tal includes $1,000,000,000 to be spent to help Atlantic Pact nations to set up ade- quate defenses. The expectation is that this amount will be reduced during the next fiscal year. Certainly, there is room for some reduction in the amount spent for defense. Comparison of present expenditures with those of non-war years suggests that an adequate defense force might be main- tained with less money. It must not be overlooked, however, that new weapons and equipment, required by modern warfare, cost much money and that the future safety of the nation may depend as much upon the development of new weapons as upon the training of fight- ing men. If this costs more or less than preparedness in former years, the nation can afford to pay the bill. The cold war will get colder during the winter but might thaw out in the spring. SENATE PAYROLLS The decision of officials of the U. S. Senate to release information as to those employed by Senators and the amount of their compensation is wise. Such in- formation has been available about House members but for some reason the Sen- ators kept secret the facts about those on their office staffs. The lack of information about the Sen- ators is not new. It has been reported be- fore but without producing action. Since the public, after all, pays the salaries of those who work for Congressmen, it is pro- per for the information to be public. Moreover, in view of the recent conviction of Rep. Thomas, for receiving kickbacks from his employes, it makes the public a bit suspicious and adds weight to the rea- sons that urged full publicity.
