Their net worth, cash, securities is listed as $22,073,965.78. 1 The unions have the money. Their leaders know how to extract it from their memberships. Their officers and bosses are living in luxury like President Truman. Top Pay for Jobs I*, s noted that Congressman Bry- f-on o: euc district, and several other < .'n gross men of tiie state, pay top salaries to their top secretaries, Con gressmen can pay a top salary of $643 ’monthly, or $7,716 annually. This is taxpayers’ money wbth which the secretaries are paid. Each Represen tative is allowed more than $15,000 n year for hired help. Th s properly raises this question: How many business men or lawyers jr. South Carolina pay a secretary or aid to education bill died Tuesday stenographer $643 a month.

The public lost, business lost, all industry lost, but the arrogant boss and the unibn woftT - -- And the disgraceful spectacle we see is the country in.the hands of a dictator who holds a complete mo nopoly on the labor supply in that industry. There is now a back-fire against Lewis and his miners whith will grow’ still stronger. More and more fuel users are switching from coal to* oil because of the Lewis tac tics. Take the railroads and power companies as an example. They are two enormous users of coal yet they are turning away from it. Out of a total of 5.083 locomotives delivered to the railroads since the war only 1348; or less than 7 per cent, have been of the coal-burning type. In the i larger cities oil is supplanting coal as the source of municipal power. The coal industry is sick, and for this Lewis is responsible. There can be no sure protection for the American public as long as union monopoly, aided by government, is free to shake its first in the face of all whenever it decides to. do so.
