Would Eliminate
Company Doctor
(Rv Federated Press)

Morgantown, w. Va.-Miners in the
northern West Virginia field are try
ing to end the iniquitous company
doctor system. AS high as 81 per
month per married man is checked off
to pay the doctor. The physician is
employed by the company, and some
times has several camps and hundreds
of families under his charge making
his monthly pay envelope fat one.
Not being responsible to the men, the
doctor grows careless, does not re-
spond to calls promptly, confines his
treatment to the giving of few pills.
1t is told of one doctor that being
called in a hurry for confinement
case he refused to go until he had his
breakfast. The same doctor is ac-
cused of neglecting mans injured
hand until blood poison set in, which
will possibly result in the loss. of the
mans arm, if not in death.
The miners in some parts of north
ern West Virginia recently introduced
the plan of local union doctor. The
local union employs the doctor under
contract providing for termination
when his services become unsatis-
factory to the union. The company
has nothing to do except to check off
the doctor assessment and turn 1T
over to the local. The effort now is
to extend this general plain into other
parts of the field.

TRACTION SERVICE

Every phase of the life of COM
munity is affected by the success or
failure of its traction lines in pro-
viding a service which is indispensable
to the public. Careful regulation,
combined with concern for the busi-
ness stability and the success of trac-
ton lines, should prevail in each city
of the country. Adequacy of service
at the lowest rate compatible with
continued efficiency is the paramount
consideration from the point of view
of the public, and neither factor can
be sacrificed to the other without pub
lie detriment.
Each community is urged to con-
slider the situation of it's traction
service from these two angles, in order
that it may be ascertained whether
the increased costs common to all
business have been unaccompanied by
added revenues sufficient to maintain
the service requisite for the industrial
and commercial efficiency of the COM
munity.-U. S. C. C.

COMMENT ON n. Y. LEADER

The sudden end November IL, of
the New York Leader, the only Eng
lish-language labor daily in the
eastern United States, has evoked a
wide range of comment in the press.
The powerful conservative New
York Times declares editorially: "Ihe
Leader made a valiant effort to pub
lish newspaper of general interest,
though with an avowed and deflnite
partisan policy, but had not been able
even with the aid of the fund sub
scribed for it at the beginning of its
venture, to meet the expense OF pub
lication in this city. 1t was able to
double the circulation of its predeces-
sor, The Call, while improving upon
that publication in many ways. So
excellent a type Of labor newspaper
ought to be kept up if possible"
The New York World editorial
reads in part: Regret is wide and
should be general that The Leader the
labor union newspaper has failed.
There should be room in New YORK
City for a labor union daily as good
as its editors valiantly tried to make
The Leader"
The best of the foreign-language
labor dailies in New York, the radical
Volkszeitung published in German,
sees no opening for an all around
labor daily of the Leader type. 1t
says editorially: "The experiences of
The Call and The Leader prove as
clearly as could be desired that the
great English labor daily is still a
faroff dream. A labor organ that
seeks permanence must sound the
battle cry, must be one of the much
despised propaganda sheets gathering
around itself the classconscious mill
tant workers, winning their hearts
and their support. Then it can grad
ually reach out for the workers who
are still moving in capitalist lines OF
thought and can educate and fit them
for the class struggle"
In a final editorial statement The
Leader says: at is the hope of those
who have the cause of labor jour
nalism definitely at hearv tnat tie
period of suspension will not be long.
With the growth of the labor
movement im strength and solidarity
with a return of better trade condl-
tions in certain industries, with the
rise of the younger English speaking
generation, the need for an English
language daily and the possibility OF
its support will be increased"

FREE MORNING MOVIES

The movie theater as a civic center
and an educational institution has
come in for much discussion. In one
city the discussion has been turned
into a practical experiment. A club
woman and a picture exhibitor got
together on an unusual proposition
. which would bring the theater owner
no immediate returns except public
good will, but which would be a pub
lic-spirited service.
Most movie theaters, the woman
stated, are dark during the morning
hours. Why not open them for the
display of educational pictures? The
exhibitor was willing. The public
school system accepted the offer of
the heaters. The pictures used so
far are chiefly government films,
dealing with such subjects as coal
mining, forest fires, outdoor winter
life in the New England mountains.
and innumerable other instructive and
iteresting activities Some films
from certain foreign legations have
been used also, showing the scenic
features, industries and sports of
other lands.
A professional operator is in charge
of the projection of the film. The
theaters are turned over to the schools
without expense except that the
schools must detail a special teacher
to take charge of the visual educa-
tion classes.
Nine theaters are being so used by
grammar grade classes. The subject
of the picture is announced ahead of
time and pupils look up information
concerning it. The things they learn
from the picture are used in later
class room work. In a downtown
theater Americanization films are be-
ing shown in the same way to classes
of foreign students studying English
and citizenship.
1t is an arrangement the beneficial
ramifcations of which are numerous.

Worlds Third City
In Dire Straits
(By Federated Press)

Berlin-Berlin, the third city in the
world, is getting darker and darker as
winter approaches. Fuel is so scarce
and expensive that many tenement
houses have no lights. Many smaller
stores, formerly open till 7 o'clock,
now close as soon as it grows dark.
Physicians are transferring their con-
sultation hours to day time only, be-
cause they cannot afford to light their
offices. Gas has become so expensive
compared will workers wages that
countless cancellations of gas service
have ensued, especially as the workers
have found that the dilapidated gas
ranges in their miserable homes eat
much more gas than ranges in the
homes of the comfortable.
Anybody who is so fortunate as to
possess pressed brick of coal (the
form in which coal is supplied in Ger
many) covers that brick, once aglow,
with ashes again and again so as to
keep it as long as possible.
Potato peelings, refuse from vege-
tables, home made bricks of old paper
pressed together-everything is used
for fuel. Customers entreat their
grocerymen or butcher for the card
board or packing of goods he receives,
which they want to use as fuel. The
daily newspaper is too valuable to be
wasted" as fuel-it is necessary
when one makes purchases, for many
stores no longer supply wrapping
paper. Or, it is used to help the
family exchequer by being sold to tn !
rag picker. Out in the woods sur
rounding the big cities like Berlin,
one can see people in every walk of
life picking up twigs and needles of
fir trees. At every place where there
are building operations going on, one
sees people almost fighting for saw
dust.
The kerosene lamp has been drag
ged out of seclusion, for it is cheaper
than gas Or electricity, and the candle
is coming into it's own again.

HOOVER HAS CORRECT DOPE

"Don't tax earnings" advises Her
bert Hoover. By taxing earnings, he
points out, production is penalyzed.
What, then, should be taxed?
Hoover's reply is, "Tax inheritances,
unearned incomes and unearned in
crement."
1t is, according to Hoover, an un-
sound economic practice to tax man
because he works-produces.
Can you find any flaw in that? AS
suredly you will not diminish produc-
tion by not taxing it. Nor will you
reduce production by taxing unearned
incomes. And increased production
is what gives more to each person,
more food, more clothing, more auto
mobiles and more homes.
Hoover has the right idea.

A Weekly Panorama of Events in the
National Capital.
= Bv Peter Keegan

All eyes are now turned toward the
opening of the SiXty-Eighth Congress
next month. For official Washington
it means a lively winter, politically
and socially, as there will be many
new faces in both the Senate and
House; and volcanic happenings are eX-
pected from the word go at both ends
of Pennsylvania Avenue. National
legislators who have been visiting and
conniving with the home folks since
last March are drifting back into the
capital with the result that the city
has again began to take on an air of
realizing its own importance in the
affairs of the country and the world.
Congress has one job already cut
out for it, Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon having supplied members with
information showing how they can cut
the nations tax bill at least $300,000,-
900 annually by slicing income
nuisance levies and forgetting the
soldiers bonus. Mellon is accused, of
course, of advertising his tax reduc-
tion program to forestall, if possible,
any serious effort to enact the bonus.
There is no doubt, however, that a
bonus bill will be passed. The only
thing that is doubtful is the attitude
of President Coolidge toward the
legislation.
Now that former President Wilson
has broken the silence which he has
observed since leaving the White
House in 1921, leaders of both parties
are watching intently for the next
move on his part and are wondering
more than ever what part he will
take in the 1924 campaign. Although
Wilson's son-in-law, former Secretary
of the Treasury, William G. McAdoo,
has announced, his candidacy for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton, he has not yet, publicly at least,
received the backing of the former
President.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
has delved into old records and has
emerged with the conclusion that
Abraham Lincoln should be honored
equally as a great prohibitionist and
as the emancipation of the slaves.
Lincoln wanted to free the nation of
both evils, Haynes said, and did not
think his task was completed when
the freedom of the negroes had been
effected. Haynes produces excerpts
from Lincoln's writings and speeches
to prove his assertions.
DR.. Hugh S. Cumming, Surgeon
General of the United States Public
Health Service, announces that me-
dical advice can now be sent by radio
to ships at sea from principal At
lantic, Pacific and Gulf Ports. The
service, he says, has met with "un-
questioned success" In some cases
surgeons on shore have given instruc-
tions by radio for the performance OF
highly technical and dangerous opera
tions on ships hundreds of miles from
shore, thereby successfully handling
cases which otherwise might have ter
minated seriously.

Shoe Factories Coming In

st. Louis-Union boot and shoe
workers here have added another fac
tory to their list of union firms, a
company employing about 200 work
ers having signed the agreement.
This makes a total of IA shoe fac
tories in this city which are entitled
to use the union stamp. Negotiations
are under way with several other fac
tories, according to union officials.
