STATISTICS ARE
JUGGLED TO DEFEND
WAGE DECREASES

Lower food costs are being capital
lied by cheap wage employers to en-
force a living standard below pre-
war times.
These employers talk about wage
increases of 80, 80 an@ 100 per
cent over prewar times, and would
convey the impression that prewar
rates were ideal. Wage rates, based
on prewar standards, are valueless,
because these rates did not assure
living standards.
A family's food bill approximates
40 per cent of the bread winners
income, according to the United
States bureau of labor statistics.
This means that a worker who is
paid 81 a day, for instance, spends
40 per cent, or $3.50 for food for
his family.
If food costs are lowered 20 per
cent, he saves" one-fifth of this
$3.50 or Sc cents a day.
This Saving" which is eaten up
and in some cases exceeded by in
creased rents, fuel, light and other
necessaries, is a preteXt by en-
ployers to reduce wages 20 per cent,
or to cut the rate of 81 a day by
one-fifth of that amounts. 40.
The worker now finds that he is
paid $3.50 a day, with the few pen
MES that he saved through less food
costs taken over by other profiteers.
The most superficial thinker must
see that the worker is worse off
than before, and that every wage
cut extends the buyers strike"
IL 10
plore.
Self preservation is behind la
boris fight against wage reductions.
The workers are not impressed by
awesome contributions on frozen
credits, stock dividends, liquidation
or foreign markets as reasons why
they should accept lower wages.
They know their standards are be-
ing lowered, even below prewar
standards.
They know they have produced
to excess and that the charge that
they are slackers is an untruth, ut
tered by men who are either ignor-
ant or dishonest.
The workers are not responsible
for present conditions. They carried
the burden of the war while the
men who now talk of wage cuts
were immune.
No one paid any attention to these
intellectual bankrupts and profiteers
who reaped untold riches during the
war, and who now emerge from their
cyclone cellars, peep around to be
assured of personal safety, and then
insist on wage cuts.
Statistics are juggled to this end
and every force at the command of
greed is used to conceal waste, ex-
cessive charges, inordinate profits,
and incompetent management.

Venereal Diseases
Causes Blindness

A little girl was recently brought
to one of the clinics in Washing
ton, ID. c., where free treatment is
given for venereal diseases. She
was almost blind. Her father
brought her to the clinic on his
way to work in the morning, and
she sat on the doorstep until eleven
when the clinic opened. AS soon
as the doors were opened, the doc
tor went down to bring her up
stairs for treatment. Her blindness
was due to inherited syphilis. After
she had had a number of treat
ments the doctor was surprised to
see her come dancing into the Of
ed with smiles, and her eyes which
had been almost without expression,
shining with a new light. 81 can
see, doctor, l can see!" she cried.
Both syphilis and gonorrhea are
causes of blindness" says the Sur
geon General of the U. S. Public
Health Service. The eyes of the
newborn child may be infected with
the germs of gonorrhea and become
blind within a few hours. This may
be prevented if the doctor who is
present when the child is born
cleanses the eyes with few drop
of some antiseptic solution"
Most of the States have a law
requiring that this treatment be ad-
ministered. Six states, Idaho, Mis-
souri,, Nevada, New Mexico, Okla
homa, Texas, passed such a law
during the legislative session lust
adjourned. The legislature of Con-
necticut has not yet acted on this
bill. LAS soon as the states are
enforcing this law, and as soon as
mothers and fathers understand the
reason for the treatment and insist
that 1t be given to their children,
this source of blindness will be
practically removed" says the Sur
geon General.
The loss of sight because of
syp,hlls can be prevented by early
and continued treatment at state
clinic or by a reputable doctor. Ac-
cordlng to the Surgeon General.
emphasis cannot be too strongly
placed upon the need for giving
prompt attention to syphilitic in.
lection. The disease is treacherous
ana the person who neglects it or
dlscontlnues treatment as soon as
ne feels better is likely to suffer
from some of its more serious com
plications later.

$780, Prize
Is Behind Sales Tax

Washington, May g. Corpora
ton excess profits taxes that amount
to approximately $800,000,000 is the
prize sales tax advocates would cap
ture, declared Congressman Frear
in a speech in which he explained
this attempt to shift this amount to
the backs of 100,000,000 people.
"There are practically nine turn
overs in the case of cotton goods
and wooden goods, eight turnovers
in the case of leather goods and
seven or eight in the case of steel
that is, from the original ore up
to the time of the finished article, "
said the Wisconsin representative.
What applies to these articles APP
plies with equal force to almost
everything we use. In other words,
this proposed tax of l per cent on
each turnover has to be applied
from five, six and seven to nine
times.
"But that is not the worst. You
will find that in many cases where
the present tax on luxuries is i'm
posed they have raised the price of
the goods sometimes 100 per cent
during the different turnovers.
"For cold-blooded treatment of
those who gave all and left all to
serve their country while profiteers
remained at home and accumulated
profits, protected by these service
men, no chapter in our history can
compare.
eve are now further asked to
exempt the profits of those who
stayed home and accumulated money
and place their tax burdens equally
in part on the shoulders of the SOL
diers of the last war, of the men
and women who scraped up their
savings to buy Liberty and Victory
bonds with the assurance that this
government would remember them.
at seems like adding insult to
injury. The war is over, the pow
erful interests behind a sales tax
propaganda are pushing hard for a
repeal of the excess profits tax
and enactment of a general con-
sumption tax, the Liberty and Vic
tory bonds bought by those who
gave till it hurt" have deprecated
in value, the service mems bonus
bill, that has been juggled along
for over a year, is now laid aside
and we are asked to look for the
beauties of nature in spring time
and breathe deep the air of the new
democracy in 1921"

Women of Public
Health Service

In nronortion to its size, the per
sonnet of the u. S. Public heaiIh
Service probably includes more hlgh-
" trained and specialized women
than any other branch OF the Feu-
eral Government. e
Highest on the list stand two Oh
ficers holding commissioned rank IN
tbe reserve-Surgeons Lydia Allen
DeVilbiss and josephine Baker. Next
in rank come a number of scientific
and professional women, all or most
Of whom are physicians, though
some are classified by other titles.
Among these are acting assistant
surgeons Blanche Sterling and Edith
B. Lowry, Viola Russell, pedlsstr,l,sC
and Elizabeth B. Reid, all Of the
child hygiene section; Ida A. Bengt-
SON. sanitary biologist; Alice {.
Evans and Mrs. E. NJ. A. Elbows,
bacteriologists; and Mrs. S. {.
Brooks. assistant biologist, all Of
! Inc Hygienic Laboratory; Gertrude
Seymour. president of the American
Women in Public Health, and Drs.
Daisy Robinson and Edith Rabe, reg
ional consultants, all of the venereal
diseases divisions.
Several large groups Of highly
trained women have been organized
in the Public Health Service. Among
these are the reconstruction aides,
most of whom have had college train
ing or it's equivalent and all OF
whom are of unusual ability and
character. These are stationed at
various hospitals of the Service
throughout the country. Their task
is to help manned soldiers to re-
gain control of injured muscles and
nerves or of dormant or deranged
mental faculties by appropriate ply
steal exercises (physio-therapy) or
by curative and diversional occupa-
lions (occupational therapy). The
aides, who are headed by Miss Mar
ian Morriss, number about 400, to
whom others will be added as quail
fled applicants can be found.
Vieing with the reconstruction
aides are the dieticians, whose Sec
ton was organized about a year
ago to take over from the pharm-
acists the victualing and food admin
istration of the scores of military
hospitals now handled by the Pub
lie Health Service. All the members
of the section, which is headed by
Mrs. H. B. Corsette, are graduates
of schools of household economics
and are thoroughly trained and ex-
perienced in all matters relating to
dieting. When fully recruited, the
personnel will be about two hun.
