Show UTAH LABOR NEWS, SALT 4 LAKE CITY, UTAH, MAY 14, 1937, WILL U. OF U. REGENTS IGNORE BEST TAXPAYERS EVERY MAN A SOLOIST By DR. CHARLES STELZLE Executive Director, Good Neighbor League lie never made two things exactly alike any neither birds nor leasts, nor blades of grass, nor men, nor women. Of the two billion inhabitants of the earth, no two are identical. Each of them may be identified even by so small a thing as the prints of their fingers. There are times when men may think en masse, and work in gangs, and pray by congregations, and trade through corporations, and sing in unison but there come periods when they must do these things alone. Every man is a soloist. Fortunately, there is variety enough in life to give each of us a solo part to fit his peculiar range. We may be divided into tenors md baritones and bass. But there is a special quality in every voice which makes it our own. We may identify a man more accurately by the sound of his voice than by his personal appearance. One night a famous public speaker was traveling along the road a thousand miles from home, when his automobile became ditched. As a fellow-travelpassed, the unseen lecturer called out of the darkness: God likes variety. "Ilello hand? will you give me a Sure, the traveler replied. And then he added: Arent you Doctor Cadman? He had heard Dr. Cad-ma- n speak on the radio, although he had never seen him. Every worker puts something of his personality into every job that he does, although the job may be standardized. Ibis applies even to most mass production operations. The pen lines of the draughts man, the marks of the file or chise! of the machinist, the chipping the marks of the granite-worker- s, threads of the garment and even the taste, and quality and appear ance of Mrs. Jones' church sociable cake identify the worker.

Manley, executive secretary for the Utah Coal Operators' Association, has filed a protest. J. Edward Taylor, executive secretary of the Retail Fuel Dealers Association, has done likewise. Now it is up to every labor organization and individual member to file a protest. Mr. Manley in his protest said: We respectfully submit that the use of natural gas in this state institution will neither result in economy nor serve the broader interests of the state. The use of natural gas produces no substantial tax revenue to the state of Utah and no substantial employment of labor. The coal industry on the other hand, returns to the state a ver substantial tax revenue and affords one of the principal sources of employment of Utah labor, not alone in the mining but in the transportation of the product. Economic Interest Mr. Manley further said in his protest: We respectfully urge that in your deliberation upon the question of heating the new dormitory you will give consideration to the broad economic interests of the state, to the dependency of the University of Utah upon the state tax revenue, to the contributions of the coal industry and the railroad industry to thist ax revenue, to the economy of using coal and to the desirability of utilizing to its fullest advantage the present investment in the university heating plant.

Any agreement reached is expected to be based on terms of the national Appalachian contract reached in New York City in March. Mr. Ross said the Utah contract is expected to be substantially the same as agreed upon between the union and Wyoming operators at conference last week in Cheyenne.
