“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 .

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

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.
A preference over. all other: jcandidates in civil service ‘examinations
for public positions. .
