The Nugget is delivered to your home twice a week for only 30 cents per month 2 “God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are ready to guard and defend it.”—Daniel Webster Nevada City Nu COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA © Thi COV If you want to read about your : 4 ; { friends, your neighbors, read The Nugget. S paper gives your complete erage of all local happenings. Vol. 17, No. 40. The County Seat Paper SES TY Thinking Out Loud . “What meat. doth this, our Caesar, (John I. Lewis) feed upon ithat he hath grown so great.” Not since Benedict Arnold has any man in this country treated the United States Government with such contempt as does John L. Lewis. He is head man of a key industry, controlling probably half a million coal miners belonging to his union, and he holds over the lives of 132 million of his fellow countrymen, in time of war, a threat not only to halt industry and let men, women and children freeze and starve for want of fuel, but in effect makes himself an Axis Ally of more importance to Hitler and Hirohito than Italy and the East Indies respectively. If he can halt even for a week our production of war weapons and materials he will have _ accomplished more for the Axis, than Eisenhower has accomplished for the United Nations in East Africa. He uses the war for his own advantage, to feather his own nest, witness the fact that he recently increased the dues of his union members by 50 cents a month or $6 a year. This means that the coal miners will shell out a total of about $3,000,000 a year more:than they have _ hitherto yielded to the Lewis political slush fund. When he gave $500,000 toward the first ‘Roosevelt camaign, he thought he had bought his way into national power. He expected his unions to wag the dog. When the dog refused to have Lewis’ stubby tail wagging it, Lewis became mightily peeved. Like the toad that purred itself up to rival the ox in size, he is finding the job too big. There was a time when Lewis visited Congress established his office in the rooms of subservient legislator and “‘sent’’ for various congressmen, issuing orders like the czar he aspires to be. Now he sulks and defies the United States Government. If he had been torn in Germany and bore a German name he would be promptly sequ~ estered by the FBI and probably serve a prison term for subversive activities. The War Labor Board on Monday roundly denounced Lewis for his rebellion, his refusal to treat with an agency of the government. Its language was polite but biting. But Lewis is not sensitive. Short of throwing’ him into jail, which he richly merits, his feelings. are not likely to be hurt. And, the administation at Washington, to use Lewis’ own theatrical phrase, ‘‘having supper with labor,’”’ does not dare to arrest and try this beetle-browed rebel as it would any other man who attempted wholesale sabotage. We think this an opportunity to démonstrate to Lewis and other labor imperialists that this country does not belong to organized labor any more than it beJongs to organzed industrialists. It belongs to all the people, and any man who, to serve his own ambitions, seeks to block the road to victory down which we are marching, even for a day, deserves not a verbal lashing, which Lewis probably enjoys since it swells his own imortance; but arrest, trial and imprisonment as a master saboteur. This is not to say the coal miners may not have grievances which need redress. We do not know, We do know that none of them, or none of us who stay at home, are making the sacfirices that our boys are making on our far flung battle lines. And every day that the administration in Washington tolerates, cajoles, coaxes, appeases, or dickers with this labor ceasar in a matter so vital to victory in this war, spreads the respect of coal miners, a half million of them, for Lewis and increases contempt for the government that does not use its powers to remove him from his pernicious and activities. In other words the course the administration takes totreasonable . — Harry Second Congressional District, home, 524 East Broad street. at II o'clock. ed them on their arrival here.

PROPOSALS FOR VETERANS AID AFTER WAR By CLEM WHITAKER Governor Earl Warren, a veteran of World War I, will sign a batch of bills for veterans of World War II during the present 30 day bill signing period which should go far toward extending a helping hand to California service men when they come home to don civilian clothes and take up normal lives again. OPENS SATURDAY Announcement was made today by. L. H.*’ Reynolds, chairman of ‘Tahoe! Area Council Camping and Activities) that nearly 100 scouts from the! Placer and Nevada Counties would! gather this coming Saturday and Sunday ‘at Lake Olympia near Grass. Valley for their annual camporee. As no. definite registration figures have come in asyet, indications were that nearly every troop in the Tahoe Area would have one or more ; patrols. An urgent and cordial invitation is standing to all parents and the friends of scouting to attend and visit the boys sometime during the two days event. This comes not only from Mr. Reynolds, but from James R. Johnson, Council President, and Robert H. Frank, Scout Executive. The General Camporee will be under the direction of the Council Camping and Activities Committee with Herbert J. Nile, Grass Valley, ‘Chairman, W. V. Williams, Edward Jackson, Fred Knudsen, L. S. Huntley, and Mark Beecher of Auburn, Lester Richards, Maron Childers and (Carter Dennis of Grass Valley, Leland Smith, Lloyd Geist and. Jeff Morez of Nevada City. Getting leadership and assisting the judges will be under the leadership of Leland Smith, Camping and Activities Chairman of Nevada City. The program will start Saturday afternoon, May 22nd, with patrols checking in near Lake Olympia. It Patrol area and an evening campfire program where patrol _ stunts be __ preceeded by a. fire a fighting demonstration under the direction of the United States forestry service of Nevada City assisted by Scoutmaster William French and scouts of Troop 24. The Sunday morning program will include scout services at 8:15. Catholic scouts going to Grass Valley for mass, and for the scouts remaining on the campsite Reverend ‘Cedric Porter will take charge.

The legiSlature’s program for war veterans, now on Governor Warren’s desk for final action, is patterned in many respects after the program enacted following the last war. It provides for generous aid in the purehases of farms and homes, ing@tax benefits, in securing work and_in assisting those whose training was interrupted to complete their education. The California program, however, does not provide: for bonus payments, as the bonus legislation will come later and will probably be enacted by congress, rather than by the individual states. Veterans of this war, when they come back, will have a head start over their buddies of the first World War, due to the fact that the program will be set up and waiting for them. The men who were “over there’ in 1917 and 1918, and who are now well represented in the legislature and in other positions of public trust, took eare of that detail. Here are the major proposals in the new veterans’ program: A $30,000,000. bond issue to continue the Veterans’ Farm and Home Purchase Program for men of this war. The bond issue, which will be submitted to vote of the people next year, will be used to create a loan fund to aid the service men in getting homes and farms on _ liberal credit. A $2,000,000 revolving fund to get the farm and home program started. A $500,000 educational fund to aid vets in finishing their schooling. A $1,000 exemption on local property taxes, similar to that enjoyed by past veterans. State income tax exemption for the duration. A two year extension of “freeze”? on unemployment ance benefits for veterans. First choice on 50,000 jobs to be made available uuder a proposed $70,000,000 highway building program after the war.
