i4 nbwi, BUaik r.ii., on. tipniiv wuw m, 1 j The willful freezing of all industry by cutting off the na tion's coal supply is clearly SABOTAGE for it obviously sa botages America's reconversion program while disrupting the country's economy, encouraging inflation and fast spreading "Black Market" operations. Never before have SO MANY SUFFERED SO MUCH BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF SO FEW. Now right NOW is high time to PROTEST VIGOROUS LY. The extent of current strikes is becoming unbearable. Selfish individuals, seeking to promote or retain economic and political power have, without regard to the interests of the nation, tied up the production of essential goods. In' grasping for gains for an organized few they have caused inconvenience and actual suffering to millions through out the country. Right now strikes are keeping much needed farm machin ery out of the hands of those who must grow foods for the entire world. This and transportation tie-ups will definitely hamper America's accepted task of famine relief. That is carrying selfish ambition and personal greed too far! Do you think that John L. Lewis cares about YOU, your family, your business or the prosperity of your own com munity? You know he doesn't! We well recognize that organized labor has its rightful place in the American way of life for the mutual benefit of both the worker and the employer, but nevertheless, YOUR SECURITY the SECURITY OF THE NATION must not be destroyed by a comparative few. Don't forget that the reason you cannot get a new car, your wife cannot buy nylons and you cannot enjoy many other good things of life is because of the actions of a selfish few.

Honorable Slrsr As a citizen and voter of Klamath County, Oregon, I wish to express my opinion on the present crisis confronting every person In the United States. I URGE and DEMAND that immediato legislative steps be taken to control any coercive force which threatens or may threaten public welfare and health or national reconversion by willfully obstructing or restricting full scale production of vital and essential products.

Shall a handful of greody men striving for power and political prominence cause millions of Innocent familios to suffer? The steel, the automobile, the cloctrical, the lumber and now the - coal industries have been struck, preventing vitally needed goods from reaching tha consumers. Who Is directing the welfare of this nation the people or few labor union heads? We have tolerated Hitlerian labor policios TOO long!

Let's deliver not delay! I have voluntarily clipped this message from the Klamath Falls Herald and News and am mailing it to you in the hope that you will give it careful consideration.
