Free to set their own wage scale, Harlan operators claim to follow approximately the standard set by U. M. W. and the Appalachian Conference of operators (TIME, April 12). But Marshall Musick, a frail, sad-eyed union organizer whose .home was riddled with bullets one night last February, killing his son and seriously wounding his wife, told the Committee about the strings to that. Harlan miners, said he, average about $75 per month. Of this, 15% is deducted for rent on company-owned houses, fees to company-hired physicians, contributions to company burial funds.

Upon bull-framed, square-jawed Cardinal Dougherty, as vigorous a man physically as the Holy Father now was frail, Pius XI had chosen to bestow a high honor, sending him as Legate a latere-spiritually and literally "from the Pope's side"-to the Congress in Manila. Emerging from the Vatican after a half-hour visit, loyally declaring that the Pope looked "well, bright and cheerful," Cardinal Dougherty...
