Show Express Your Feelings The nation's transportation systems are tied up, industry paralyzed par-alyzed and American homes are faced with a fuel shortage that may extend well into 1947 and all because of a coal strike. Ever city, town and hamlet will suffer and suffer acutely even if the soft coal miners go back to work tomorrow morning. Those who have it in their power to call a sudden halt to this taking of unfair advantage of the country are reluctant to move. This is an election year and those who have it in their power to end the coal strike are desperately afraid of the labor vote, for labor makes its wants known in one way or another. However, the rank and file of the American people are thoroughly thor-oughly aroused. They are being deprived of security, and of the fruits of their sacrifices brought on by four years of war. If ever a time existed when the rank and file should express their feelings that time has arrived. This is an election year, and Senators and Congressmen will listen. In an election year they are at the mercy of their constituents. constit-uents. Voice your feelings in a letter to Utah's congressional delegation. Inform Senators Thomas and Murdock, Congressmen Congress-men Granger and Robinson just how you feel about an unstable labor situation. Tell them exactly exact-ly what you wish them to do as representatives of the people of Utah. Remember, we are facing a truly chaotic national condition because of the coal strike . . , and this is an election year. |
