Lewis held at Mr. Ickes's head during negotiation of the Government-United Mine Workers wage agreement And people were j so 'busy watching the hand that held the' gun that they forgot to pay dny attention to what the UMW's pistol-packin pistol-packin papa was doing with the other, fut it's all clear now. The versatile and ambidextrous Mr. Lewis was using the other hand to hitch the prancing team of Waes and Prices to the bandwagon. he rush to climb on has already started. And when they're all aboard, then hold your hats, boys. First aboard are the United Steel Workers. The railroad workers, who have a long-standing wage grievance, griev-ance, probably will be next. After that you can name your own entries. We don't believe that the steel workers work-ers will violate their no-strike pledge. Nor is it' likely that the railrbad workers work-ers will walk out. But the miners scored a victory with the strike weapon, and it is a tempting weapon weap-on that still lies ready. It was a cinch; of course, that the steel workers would ask for a new contract and higher wages. When Mr. Ickes, in an uncomfortably tight spot, exceeded the War Labor Board's wage recommendations, he broke the Little Steel formula yardstick. yard-stick. It is quite likely that both Mr. Ickes and Mr. Lewis regard the 15-minutes-for-lunch provision as most of the rest of us do as an unhealthy, unworkable,- tongue-in-cheek expedient. ex-pedient. In addition to breaking the Little Steel yardstick, Mr. Ickes reduced the'WLB almost to its state of. impotence im-potence before the Connally-Smith Act when he disregarded the board's sensible precedent and negotiated the UMW dgreementwhile the men Were out on strike. As for prices, it is a foregpne conclusion con-clusion that consumers will be paying pay-ing more for coal as a result of the new agreement. Other rises in labor costs will be similarly reflected. Higher steel prices probably would mean increased cost of the new farm implements which are promised prom-ised for next "year. The general situation situ-ation is bound to weaken the administration's admin-istration's plea for further subsidies. The President's appointment of another an-other group to make a cost-of-living survey is not too hopeful, in view of the bland assurance of his food message to Congress, and the subsequent sub-sequent admission of the fallibility of such surveys which was implicit in some of his remarks. If the destination of the buggy ride about to start isn't inflation, the officials of-ficials in the driver's .seat will need more luck, more skilj and a stronger hand than they look to have, at present. Literary Expendables A soldier wants books and needs . them, wherever he may be. The Army knows this, and will' distribute, through its library service, 20 million mil-lion books to overseas troops during the coming year. These books are "expendable." They are of pocket size, paper bound, and inexpensively printed by the Council on Books in Wartime, War-time, a non-profit organization. Tney can go wherever a soldier goes. And ' if some of the books are lost or destroyed, de-stroyed, the financial loss is not great. - - We have a paper shortage, it is true. But even.sot it is hard to thinfc of a more reasonable . expenditure of the existing supply.

Get one and carry it with you. Then, make up your mina to learn the meaning of just three new words every day. No more is necessary. Of course you may not remember the definitions of all of them, nor of their spelling. But don't let that bother you. The main thing is to hunt up three new words and read their meaning. mean-ing.
