OWenSs ............ Editor Chos. Owens, Jr., Associate Editor (In Overseas Military Service) subscription, $2 a Year in Advance Advertising Rates on Application The endeavor of the Union Press- Courier is to sincerely represent Union Workers in their efforts to sbtain economic freedom, particu- larly as advocated by the United Mine Workers of America. We so eit the support of All Unions. Material for publication must be juthorized by the organization it represents, signed by the Presi- dent and Secretary, and bear the seal of the Local The Union Press-Courier gives its advertisers the advantage of the combined circulation of the twp largest circulated weeklies in Cam- hria County and has a reader cov- erage that blankets Patton and the major mining towns. Ee you read this something has happened —but likely the German fighting will not end with any formal surrender. It will end gradually as the armies capitulate, and sporadic guerilla and underground fighting may cintinue for some time after all organized re- sistance has ended. wkkkE THE UNITED STATES MAY BE A stickler for the rules as laid down for treatment of prisoners of war at the Geneva conference, but when one reads of the condition that American prisoners of war had to endure, and then considers the coddling we have been giving German prisoners in this country—it makes one's blood boil. Living in dirt and filth, and starving our American boys, many of whom were rescued recently by our advan- cing Armies in the Reich, certainly haven't been getting anything like our government has been according the German prisoners we hold. It's about time that we wake up to the proposi- tion that these arrogant Nazis are not to be coddled and should be treated in a manner in which they deserve. They deserve no better than what our own boys are given by their Nazi captors. kk kk% LISTENING RECENTLY TO A RA- dio commentator we heard the alle- gation that our good government even | has gone to the expense of buying ear | phones, at a cost of $60 each, for | Nazi prisoners of war in this country ! who have become hard of hearing.
