The endeavor of the Union Press- Courier is to sincerely and honestly represent Trade Union Workers in efforts to obtain ecenoemic freedom through organizations as advocated by tne CIO and AFL, and we solicit the support of trade wniens. Mater- ial for publication must be author- ized by the organization it repre- sents and signed by the Presiaen: and secretary, and bear the seal.

Likewise, too, the | Queen Mary, despite its appearance, will likely remain just where it is for the same duration. Both these ships | would be prize targets for German U- | Boats. Both are under heavy guard, | even in the harbor. The Normandie's furnishings have been literally encased in tons of moth-balls. But passenger service between the United States and | Europe has fallen down so that ncith- | way—another irony of war. ® For four months workaday Car- bon county, named after the coal it produces, has seethed over the fatal shooting of a fourteen year old sch- ool girl by a Corporal of the Penn- slyvania Motor Police. The girl, Joan Stevens, of Nesquehoning, was shot by Corporal Benjamin Franklin who said that she tried to pull a gun on him. A toy pistol was later found in the trooper’s car, where the shooting took place. To cries of “We want justice” raised by irate Carbonians, a grand jury in Mauch Chunk last Thursday made answer. It twice in- dicted Franklin for the shooting, one bill charging both murder and voluntary manslaughter, the other charging involuntary manslaughter. The trooper goes on trial this week, erage that blankets Patton and the er of the big ships will be needed any- | THE UNION PRESS-COURIER, ——— —————————————————— ee —————— CUT YOUR FOOD COSTS Bodied Red Cir Rich and Full Coffee FRESH PORK End Cuts Fresh, Loose PORK SAUSAGE, Ib.

These two former- | ly bitter enemies, have reached a new | peace. | The new relationship, the Depart- | | ed from give-and-take conferences to | in abundance, the miners receiving just wages and decent living condi- tions and the operators receiving a profit to which they were fairly en- titled. Peace efforts were climaxed last week by the dismissal of a criminal indictment which charged fifty-two coal companies and individuals with | a conspiracy to oppress mine employ- ees. Welly K. Hopkins, an assistant Fed- eral attorney general, announced the dismissal in the Federal Court at Lon. don, Ky., where more than a year previously government and defense lawyers and defendants had struggled through an eleven week trial ending in a jury dead-lock. “An impossible and medival indus- trial system which the operators had sworn to perpetuate is ended,” Mr. Hopkins told the court. “Industrial peace at last prevails. There is every indication the existing peace will be lasting.” - Three days before the dismissal of the conspiracy case, indictments ag- ainst fore than 400 persons arrested after labor disputes last summer were dismissed court, { | | SUPER SELF SERVICE 450 Magee Ave; PS Owned & VINYL; | SUNBRITE CLEANSER, 2 cakes . 1% | | | Patton, Penna.

Writing Week, and Postmaster George A. Lehman, in urginig people to write letters more frequently, hands us the following stories: The One Meant. I am the letter you meant to write. ,But you were too busy, or you kept putting it off, or you excused yourself | by claiming you did not know what to | say. So I never was written. And because I never was written there is a question in the mind of one of your friends; or a pleasant bond withone has been broken; or there is lonliness in the heart of one who thinks of you. It was suc han easy thing to have] done—that letter which should have | been written. But you let the time pass | and somewhere a friend or a family, | or even an acquaintance is the poorer. | The word that would have brought | in Harlan county circuit | cheer to the sick one was not written; A a " ‘the gracious thank-you for a favor warmth of your personality, and I [[ITINNINAAINIANTAN done or a gift exchanged was never mailed; the happy ones who wished to know that you shared their happiness; and the unhappy ones who so craved a word of sympathy are wondering at your silence. I am just a phantom letter. The Letter You Did Write. I am the letter you did write. Joyfully, cheerily, I sped on my way expectant for the warm welcome, knew awaited me wherever my desti- | nation. I went into the eager hands of a mother or a father, and I watched old eyes grow bright as my message of love and remembrance was read and re-read. I went to the absent friend of yours and brought to him or her the news of early intimates; I renewed to them the picture of their home circle and with them I relived hours of friendly and warm hearted activities. I went to the newlyweds and in your name rejoiced in their delight; I went to the bereaved and you rsincere words brought them a comforting ease. To a birthday I added the joy of your good wishes; I refreshed a shut- in with your newsy chat; to a young person on a threshold of a career, I brought your words of courage.
