Australia Suffering From
Necessities Because Miners
Avoid Stockpiling Of Coal
SYDNEY, June 21. UP Aus
tralia is no land of plenty on tnls
mid winter's day down under.
Take a look at Sydney, a city
of 1.500.000 one-fifth of all the
people in Australia.
There is no household gas for
cooking or heating. Electric pow
er is on only part of the time.
You can't buy coal or coke to
heat your house.
You get only one-third of your
normal order of milk.
Fresh vegetables are scarce.
Later in the week it's going to be
just about impossible to buy all
the bread and meat you want.
Hundreds of factories are clos
ing. Tens of thousands of men
are being paid off.
Train service is running at half
schedule or less.
The position is much the same
in other big towns of New South
Wales. Cities in other states will
be affected almost at once.
In Melbourne, for instance, gas
can be used only for cooking and
only for three and a half nours
n riav.
There are three reasons for
these shortages: Not enough coal
too much rain, too much wind.
Australia's coal shortage is a
long story. There Is plenty under
ground but lor years there has
not been enough to go around up
top.
Miners Responsible
Miners' policy is to prevent
stockpiling of coal on the surface.
They reason that lack of reserves
strengthen their bargain position,
and it does.
Result is that one day's stop-
Eage at the mines sometimes
rings rationing of gas and elec
tricity to eke out available coal.
Last Thursday coal miners all
over Australia stopped work for
a day. They decided at meetings
to begin a general strike June 2.7
if their claim for more pay and
less work Is not granted.
They seek 30 shillings ($7.80) a
week more pay and cut In work
ing hours from 40 to 35 a week.
On top of that, heavy rain
flooded coal fields and there was
a big production loss on Friday.
Gales stopped colliers taking coal
to Sydney and Melbourne from
fields.
The government, trying to con
serve coal, ordered transport and
public utilities to cut consump
tion by 50 per cent. Industry us-1
Ing coal was given a 75 per cent
cut.
But wind and rain have pre
vented utilities getting enough
coal to operate at even half out
put.
Electricity Use Banned
Monday the New South Wales
cabinet ordered drastic gas cuts.
It banned the use of electricity
for industry and for public light
ing and amusement.
Jt rationed gas ana electricity
to houses. Only two lights In
each house are permitted at night
and heating Is banned.
Cooking by gas (if there is
any) and electricity is restricted
to two periods in the morning
and evening totaling three hours.
Effect of the restrictions will
be to bring almost all industry to
a standstill. This will throw 250
to 300 thousand men out of work.
At the same time housewives
will blame floods for a shortage
of milk and vegetables. Bread
will be short because some bakers
rely on gas. Meat will be short
because of a strike at killing
works. . .
All in all, Australians are un
happy today. '
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 21.
(JP Harvard, the nation's oldest
university, will not hunt for Com
munists on its faculty.
To do so, the university says,
might endanger its American
freedom, its academic Integrity.
The university's views, as ex
pressed by a spokesman chosen
by President James Bryant Con
ant, is:
"There will be no harrassment
of professors for engaging in
open and legal meetings. There
will be no apparatus of inquiry
and 'closer watch.'
"The harm done by the effort
necessary to discover even a
single clandestine Party Member
would outweigh any possible
benefit."
Harvard's stand on the Communist-hunting
subject was made
public in response to a question
raised by an alumnus.
It answered a Harvard man,
Frank B. Ober, class of '13, prom
inent Baltimore, Md., attorney
and chairman of his state's corn
mission which recently drafted
legislation against Communism.
AWOL Soldier On Trial
In Slaying Of Trooper
YELLVILLE, Ark., June 21.
(If) A 24-year-old AWOL sol
dier, who admitted slaying an
Arkansas state trooper and a re
tired railroad man in this North
Arkansas mountain country, be
gan a fight for his life today.
Charged with first degree mur
der, Kenneth D. Speegle went on
trial here for the policeman's
death. Prosecutor Eugene W.
Moore said he would ask the
death penalty.
State Patrolman S. V. Pavatt
was wounded fatally last Sept. 25
by a rifle bullet fired from a
lonely mountain cabin. He was
investigating a series of farm
burglaries in the area.
While hunting for the killer,
authorities found the body of Zue
E. Crook, who owned the cabin,
buried in a shallow grave.
Papers found in a nearby cave
started an extensive manhunt for
Speegle, AWOL from his Army
post at Fort Lewis, Wash. He was
arrested about two weeks later
near Oklahoma City.
