Will Unions Be Permtited To Exploit
War Needs To Force Concessions?
Will the unions be permitted to exploit war needs to force conces-
sions from management without arbitration by proper governmental
bodies? That is not an academic question. It is an extremely prac-
tical one, and it was made so by the heads of the United Mine Workers.
Some time ago, the southern coal operators, under the terms of
their contract with the union, fined workers for taking part in what
they believed to be an illegal strike last November. The operators
planned to give the money to charity. Then it appeared that union
workers could not take their scheduled ten-day July vacation without
imperiling production of coal which was vitally needed by war industry.
The highest government officials requested that the vacation period be
reduced to three days. The union bosses would agree to this only on
condition that the fines be returned to the workers—without arbitra-
tion of any kind.
The operators agreed. As the Huntington, W. Va., Herald Adver-
tiser said, they made this concession of principle “to insure the nation's
war production machine against any serious stoppage of the flow of
.fuel. For that, the operators are to be commended.”
And now the nation is entitled to know whether unions, in the
•future, will be permitted to blackjack industry into similar concessions.
If they are, we will have rule by force, instead of by law, contract and
arbitration—with the union bosses the dictators.
New Dies Bill Is Eyebrow-Lifter;
We Eagerly Await House Discussion
The new bill Martin Dies is preparing to introduce to the House is
an eyebrow-lifter. It is designed to make it a penitentiary offense for
federal office holders to solicit persons to become candidates in con-
tgvessional races,
“In my bill,” Dies said, “I shall make it a penitentiary offense for
any government agency to furnish any candidate or anyone in behalf
of any candidate names and addresses of federal employes.
“It has become a practice for some government officials to favor
the policy of influencing votes by putting pressure upon federal em-
ployes.
“My bill will also make ineligible for reappointment to a federal
job anyone who resigned the federal job to run for representative or
senate for a period of two years."
Discussion of this bill by the House will make interesting reading.
We are eagerly awaiting to hear the opinions of some congressmen.
Irrepressible Mr. Pegler Tells Us
“How The Cow Ate The Cabbage”
Westbrook Pegler, the writer who pulls no punches, certainly told
th'e’foHis “how the cow ate the cabbage” in his column Sunday.
To quote the irrepressible Mr. Pegler, whose meaty column appears
daily in the Houston Press. San Antonio Express, and Dallas News:
“Of course some mistakes ami inequalities are bound to occur
in the rush of an inexperienced people to go to war, but the issuance of
commissions in the Army and Navy, in rank as high as major and lieu-
tenant-commander, to men with no qualifications whatever is being
overdone. The rule or policy by which rank is conferred appears to be
no more distinct than the thin meandering line of a trickle through a
meadow.
“. . . the forces are crawling with commissioned agents who de-
serve no rank whatever and whose very presence in officers' uniform is
an affront to the enlisted men and to other officers who earned their
rank ... it is the cheap, or fake, commission which should be abolished
and revoked.”

Make It A Motto
Because the security of this nation probably depends on air su-
premacy now more than on any other single agency, the government is
utilizing every suitable airplane.
As a result, it has taken many of the commercial air-line planes.
Contrary to an erroneous report, however, it did not take over the air
lines They still operate with reduced equipment as private enterprises
for public service.
Of necessity they must give preference to essential war travelers
and cargoes, but private citizens are still accommodated subject to
some inevitable priorities in emergencies.
As one air line aptly puts it in an advertisement, it seeks to main-
tain one fundamental of operation at all times—polite and efficient
service to all—military and civilians alike.
That would be a good motto for all industries and all government
departments to make a first rule of operation, for either is sunk with-
out the other and both depend absolutely on civilian activity for exist-
ence.

Houston were the week-end guests
of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Reiman.

Dear Editor:
Hope you can use this poem.
Mrs. Ben Thornton,
Route One,
Bay City, Texas
Editor’s Note—We can and thank
you very mu’ch.
When we lose our great big ship,
Our brave boys die at sea,
It makes us want to cry out loud
It makes us want to be—
Right there on that firing line
To man those great big guns.
We long to scalp those dirty guys,
To catch those lurking subs.
We long to sooth our wounded boys
To help them to march on through,
To guide those ships to victory,
To start them out a new.
We long to lift Old Glory high
Where no hate and greed can mar,
Oh how we long to be out there
To help them win this war.
THis old stove’s in bad condition
But just the thing for ammunition.
Do your bit—get in tKe scrap
To smash the Nazi and the Jap!
HOW TO DO IT. Sell your scrap to a Junk Dealer. He sorts;
grades, packs, and ships it to the right place. Or give it to a
local charity. Or consult your State or local Salvage Committee.

THE HERALD
Following is a poem written by
Mrs. W. M. Wilson, of West Colum-
bia, Texas, to her son who is with
the U. S. Marines some where in
the Pacific.
TO HUBERT
Your country called, you went
away.
You left your home on Christmas
day.
Your footsteps now I long to hear
Your sweet voice calling, Mother
dear.
Your brown eyes too I really miss,
Your dear lips I would love to kiss.
Though you are now so far away,
I hope to see you some sweet day.
When this old war is won and o’er,
Then you can come back home once
more.
Then I will really happy be
When you come back home to me.
Though I sometimes feel so sad and
blue
Just remember dear I am proud of
you.
So do your part and do it well—
I wish those Japs were all in H—,

Celia Austin, of Houston and Mrs.
E. H. Highley visited in Matagorda
Sunday.
