Couldn't Be Coal

Two gentlemen sat side by side on the bus going to town. One of them was deeply interested in the newspaper he carried. Across the front. page the headlines fairly screamed something about John L. Lewis and the danger of a nation-wide coal strike.

Finally he who was reading turned to his companion and asked:

"What do you think about this fellow John L. Lewis, anyway?"

The other guy militantly replied:

"I like him fine !"

The first one fairly glared.

"Do you mean to sit there and tell me," he said, ..that you approve of John L. Lewis?"

The second one said: "I certainly do !"

The other thought a minute, then said:

"There's only one thing to it. YOU MUST BURN wooD."
