BUSARELLO, PRESI- | dent of the United Mine Work- |ers of America in the Pittsburgh | District, claims that weariness and lack of proper nourishment | are responsible for unrest among | the coal miners. He said that the | average age of the miners is much {over 45 years, The mines are wor- king six days a week and the food the miner has been getting is not |of a kind to sustain them in per- | forming that kind of labor, sc the | miners seek any excuse to get a heliday, Mr. Busarello asserts. | ERE ok | HERE'S SOMETHING TO PON- and the major mining towns in Northern Cambria Co. EDITORIAL VIEWS AND COMMENT ONE THING IS PRETTY CER-|.(; have the power to deal with | tain, and that is if there isn’t a shorter work week in the nation there is going to be much unem- ployment. John L. Lewis, Presi- dent of the United Mine Workers of America, and other labor lead- ers, are fast to recognize this fact. desk dod ok THE THEORY OF A SHORTER | work week to spread the em- ployment among available wor- kers, is receiving full support of liberal minded legislators, among them Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York, author of much of the nation’s outstanding social le- gislation. The whole question pro- mises to become one of the major rational economic issues in the post-war period, with important segments of business already lining . up against any such move. The spirit of “rugged individualism” is not dead yet. The same crowd that that has always had that spirit, apparantly has not reformed. SENATOR WAGNER, HEAD OF the senate banking committee, said he wasn’t sure if a shorter werk week provision could be in- serted in the administration’s jobs- for-all bill but said that such a measure is bound to come. “There should be ashortening of the work week to make more employment,” he said. JOHN L. LEWIS, IN HIS FIRST public appearance in months, proposed before Wagner's Commit- tee last week that the jobs-for-all bill be amended to make it the re- | sponsibility of the federal govern- ment to adopt from time to time policies and programs looking to the adjustment and the shortening |in planning for full employment, the number of productive hours American industry will operate. | Otherwise, he said, goods will pile |up in ware houses because there will not be enough buying power to purchase them. | LEWIS PREDICTED THE NA- | tion’s productive capacity with- |in the next two years will be 30 per cent higher than it was before | the war. (Secretary of Commerce | Henry Wallace, testifying earlier | before the banking committee, | foresaw a fifty per cent increase [in the American standard of liv- ling.) Scientists, the U. M. W. head said, are in effect “abolishing work | as such” because the ms#chines | they have invented are supplant- |ing human hands. “Congress | should have the power to say how | long the wheels will operate and {how long hands shall work in a glutted market.” | ANOTHER WAR TIME JOB, | which took the time and services of thousands of people will end with the end of this month. Gov. | Edward Martin has announced the | State’s salvage organization will be discontinued after Sept. 30th. | “Since the War Production Board |is giving up its salvage activities | and Pennsylvania industry has giv- | en us no indication that the ser- | vices of these people would be | needed further, we do not think it | fair to ask them to continue col- | lections after that end of | month,” the Governor said. seokodeok ok | MR. MARTIN SAID THE PENN- | sylvania salvage organization | had done such a good job that the | state consistently led the country this | of the hours of labor, thus stimu- | in the amount of materials collec- latin gand stabilizing the national ted. The salavage organization, he economy and the even flow of |said, not only included the lealers workers into industry. 0 ok kok ok THE JOBS-FOR-ALL BILL STA- tes that everyone willing and able to work has the “right” to a useful and remunerative job. It would make it the responsibility of the government to assure by legislation enough job opportuni- ties for everyone to exercise his right to work. Hokokkk LEWIS SAID IT IS VITALLY | | tin cans, fats, rags, iron and steel necessary for the government, and committee pople who worked at the job so industriously and so | tirdlesaly, It also included thous- ands of truck drivers and handlers who voluntarily gave their ser- | vices. It included many truck own- | ers who provided equipment. And | it included householders who pa- tiently stored salvage materials | for collection days.

He testified to the board that ‘“he was merely there for training and had no knowedge upon which to base any action.” The board said that if | Tyler had relayed the information | to someone in authority losses on Pearl Harbor day might have been greatly lessened. But he’s a lieu- tenant colonel now. Figure that one out! ARATE, © SA SEN. JOHN J. HALUSKA INFORMS THAT: | Matters of Interest to Northern Cambria Folks As Viewed by Press-Courier Contributor per- SPECIAL VICTORY MESSAGE. The thrill that comes but once in a lifetime came last Saturday night, when the peoples of this world had the opportunity to lis- ten to the radio program being broadcast from the Battleship Mis- souri, while launched in Tokyo Bay. We heard the surrender terms as laid down by the victorious na- ticns to the defeated enemy, the people of Japan. This program will without any doubt go down in his- tory as the most significant of all time. President Truman dur- ing his speech, stated that it was a victory of liberty over fear, and further stated that we must plan for security at home, help create a better world and strive for in- ternational good will. General Douglas MacArthur sta- ted that only several years ago modern civilization trembled in the balance, paid great tribute to the fighting forces of our country, I ARE YOU WONDERING WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOUR IP TT 18 CAUSE FOR ALARM.

Phone 2181 | Air Force officer, who, the Army | UNION PRESS-COURIER then concluded with this statement Your boys are now homeward bound--please take care of them. If any statement ever made car- ried with it sincerity and import- ance this statement did—'Please take care of them!” From this day on, hundreds of thousands of our boys will be re- turning to civil life and they will expect that Gen. MacArthur's words be remembered by our law- making bodies, our industries and cur people as a whole. Every one of the 48 states in our union should be called into a special session of the legislatures and stay in sess- icn while the United States Cong- ress is back and work in harmony to provide such legislation that may be called for, to give these lads employment and to provide jobs for the millions of civilians [ who also gave all within themsel- [ ves to bring victory about. This is one time that politics should be shelved entirely and Democrats and Republicans should realize that this was not a Republican or a Democrat victory—but a vie- tory of all the peoples of this civ- ilized world, and that many a fa- ther, mother, and wife is this very day bleeding from within for the loved one of their's that never will | return and even more so for those | that may return but will be a pub- lic charge forever, and whose sight will send many a parent to |an early grave. | This writer is being approached daily by returning veterans and is being asked whether our Com- monwealth has made any provis- ful, but we inform them that pos- sibly our Governor will see the light and call us back to the Cap- ital City very shortly to enact le- gislation that will be beneficial to all concerned. It may be wishful { thinking on our part, but we sin- | cerely feel that Governor Martin will not stand idly by while other states are enacting bonus legisla- tion and providing for other G. I. benefits. Now that peace on earth to men of good will once again prevails, let us not forget the sacrifice made | by over one million men and wo- | men who are casualties of this | war, and all resolve to realize that | it was only with the help of the | Almighty that made victory poss- | ibe, and let us meditate for just a moment and review the occasion while surrender terms are being signed. Saturday, Sept. 1, was a dark and goomy day—raining the most of the day. All of the Allied representatives, including repre- sentatives from Japan, were ab- oard the Battleship Missouri, awa- iting orders from Gen. MacArthur, and one by one was called upon to affix his signature to this most sacred document, and just when the last representative had affix- ed his signature to the surrender terms, the sun burst out from be- hind the dark clouds, the rain ceas- ed immediately, and the entire au- dience was startled. This should bz remembered as probably a imir- acle and nothing of its kind ever did take place on earth since the days of Christ. All of this seems to be a reminder that the many prayer days that were held by our various ministers of the Gos- pel throughout the war were ap- preciated by Our Maker and He responded with victory to the world with a shining sun and peace just at the moment when it was least expected. And to main- tain a peace-loving world, we must not forget that every day should be a prayer day, and with the help of God, we can and will prosper. —— a | Thoughts That May or May Not | Interest You Discussed from | Week to Week. THE FELLOW WHO HAS EVA- ded paying his just income taxes during these past war years, has something tc worry about, if one is to judge from newspaper stories about what the Government is go- ing to do about it. An extensive | drive will be waged against fed- | eral tax chiselers in this district. | Additional employees will be add- ed to the Johnstown Regional in- ternal revenue office to help do the job. This announcement has been made from the 23rd Pennsylvania District located in Pittsburgh. TAX RETURNS FILED BY EV- ery type of business house and individuals in all walks of life have come under scrutiny, the collector of internal revenue has announced and investigations will be launch- ed in every case where fraud is suspacted. Those who evaded in- come tax or falsified returns are not the only ones who need to fear a visit from the Government gaents. T-Men will swoop down on all area residents who are down in Uncle Sam’s books as federal tax cheats of any kind. FEEERK RONALD F. McCORMICK, THE chief of the office in Johnstown, disclosed that his staff has pre- pared 5,000 warrants to be served in Cambria, Somerset, Elk, Clear- field and Cameron Counties. The five counties represent the district served by the Johnstown regional office. ok kkk THREE GROUPS—THE INTEL- ligence staff of the Treasury de- partment, internal revenue agents ana collector's offices—have com- bined forces in the drive to crack ocwn on violators and to secure the money owed in federal taxes, it was revealed by Mr. Granger of the Pittsburgh office. He dclared that present activities are only scratching the surface as compar- ed to what “we hope to do.” He predicted freely that the govern- ment’s revenue wil be increased by thousands of dollars each mon- th when the check-up reaches the height of its momentum. “If we can get the men, we'll get the tax- es,” the collector said.

He may not make the sale of any item dependent upon your buying a dif- ferent item also. ok ok ke ok OI" COURSE, A DEALER MAY sell you both items if you real- ly wish to buy both, but he may not make a forced sale of any one of them.

In fact, continuation of the draft in recent weeks had hit a “deep low” in the minds of indi- vidual congressmen, and .it still remains questionable if the admin- istration can save it at all. Two years of service of compulsory nature probably won't greet any draftee in peace time.
