Being non-callable, the shares cannot be called in by the
company when big profits are imminent. Being cumula-
tive, the Preferred shares must get full dividend payments
before the Common can get any.
The participating feature means that the Preferred
shares have the same great growth possibilities as the
Common. At the same time, they have the added advan-
tage of being entitled to the first 6% of the dividends.

The W8B ruling has been lauded as
one of statesmanship and real cour-
age. I do not share that view.
It is another example of federal en-
croachment, one more forward step on
the road of government Interference
which. planned or not, leads to the
general destruction of labor’s rights.
And that, mind you, is done by an ad-
ministration posing as champion of
the working people and upheld as such
by a suabstantial number of union lead-
en.

At the request of President Truman
John L. Lewis ordered striking soft
coal miners back to work while the
government reviews the ill-advised
Wage Stabilization Board’s decision to
lop off 40 cents a day from their new
wage contract.
No deals were made, according to of-
ficial reports, but it is believed that
Economic Stabilisation Director Roger
L Putnam may rule that the miners
should get their full increase.
As the labor members of the WSB
pointed out in thpir dissenting opinion,
the miners are entitled to the full $1.90
a day boost they negotiated with the
coal operators under previous de-
cisions of the board because their
vacation pay and other fringe benefits
lag behind standards prevailing in
other industries.

Of course, the case for government
intervention is that it stabnizes the
national economy and wards off infla-
tion. Under this pretext a 81.50 rise
la regarded ns sound and justirled
while the remaining 40 cents are
labeled inflationary—as cock-eyed a
distinction as I have ever heard.

The cost of living dropped slightly
between Aug 11 and Sept. 18, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.
The decrease was the first since Feb-
ruary.
On Sept. 18, the last date for which
figures were available, it cost an
average family in a medium -elae city
119 08 for the same goods and services
which cost 110 in 1935-39. The figure
for Aug. 15 was $19.10.
Food prices decreased by 1 per cent,
but rents, clothing, home furnishings,
fuel. electricity, and refrigeration in-
creased slightly.
The next report on living costs is
expected to reflect the sharp rise in
rents which came when 900 communi-
ties let rent controls die Sept 30.

Last week, column reiterated the
belief that there can be no freedom
and no true partnership where ov-
erument determine, economic atmos-
phere and the conditions under which
citizens may work. The truth if this
not so novel observation is startlingly
illustrated in the experience of the
nation’s 375,000 soft coal minors with
their latest collective agreement
To understand what It la all about
let’s recapitulate the recently con-
eluded collective contract between
the United Miner Workers and the
bl turn ions coal operators.
After protracted negotiations the
mine owners •6*--d te a st 99 daily
wage boost and an additional 10 cents
a ton—making 40 cents altogether—
in royalties tor the UMW pension and
welfare fund. The Wage Stabilisation
Board disapproved by lopping 40 cents
off the wage increase. The miners
walked out; the operators, expressing
willingness to pay in full if the gov-
ernment only let them. UMW Presi-
dent John L. Lewis, ignoring the board
decision, told the owners that he ex-
pected them to fully honor the agree-
ment.
Readers will not that the discussion
has thus far steered clear of the fun-
damental issue - the right of free
Americans to order their economic
and social intercourse as they see fit
and as they honestly conceive in the
public interest. It has not dealt with
the problem that a tree and independ-
ent labor movement cannot conceiv-
ably operate within a structure of gov-
ernmental encroachments and “ver-
boten" signs.
Yet that is the issue often analysed
in this space—namely that a free peo-
ole cannot p-uaitE---ment *e man-
age its economic affairs without incur-
ring the risk of having the rights of
both business and labor interfered with
and then In due course nullified

The OEIU thought so much of the
agreement that Ite international presi-
dent. Paul Hutchins of Washington.
D. C., dropped in on the group last
week to help things along.
The idea of union-made insurance
appealed to Mr. Hutchins, who said
the ICT, through its Insurance
managers, has an oportunity to per-
form another definite service for trade
unionism. Union members will wel-
come a company that not only is
owned by their fellow members but
also employs union members who are
not working at the notoriously low
wages prevalent in the insurance in-
dustry.
The OEIU president added, that he
hoped that when the pending agree-'
ment is buttoned up, the union and I
company alike can announce that they
have what Ie known as a fair agree- |
ment for all concerned.

It goes without saying that a solu-
tlon will be found to the newest, gov-
ernment-made conflict In the coal in-
dustry. Double-talk will provs effec-
tive In inducing the miners to return.
But the issue will by no means be
. settled.
For here again, is government inter-
vention in full flower, the imposition
of bureaucratic rules on the com-
ponents of an industry which, living up
to the law of the land, have collective-
ly bargained and reached an agree-
ment acceptable to both.
Where does this leave coal manage-
ment and labor? The operators. It
must be recognized, are in a bad spot.
If they pay the disputed 40 cents, they
are technically in violation of the
government’s stabilization policy and
subject to penalties. If they refuse to
pay, the strike may go on for a long
time. Ite net effect will be to cut
deeply Into the miners' earnings and
to make their new gains a swindle and
a mockery to boot
