The Connecticut labor news., 1923-05-25

MT, Bradley represents the interests ot approximately 75,ooo working per
 sons i'll New Haven, is a man in
 whom the men and women in the l shops, and mills and stores place ex-
 plicit faith. He did not mince word. m discussing the case of Dr. Maher, who he describes as "Connecticut's
 most able opponent of the white plague" MT. Bradley talked straight
 from the shoulder and claims his words voice the sentiment of 100 per cent of New Haven workers and probably the majority of those else where in the state
 Tt seems impossible that Governor Tempieton will remove such re- markable man from the head of the state tubeTcul0sis commission as Dr. Maher," MT. Bradley declared, "as a matter of fact the commission really IS Dr. Maher, or rather a powerful institution for public good built around Dr. Maher and his very sue cessful system. For more than 20 years Dr. Maher has been an author lty on tuberculosis and since Ioo6 an official investigator and reformer of the tuberculosis situation in this state
 Installed Present System
 Tn that time he has organized the present state commission, systematz ized the work of treating patients and, as statistics prove, made such rapid strides in eraSing the disease from ConneeHcut's industries that the state IS one of the most proficient in the country in fighting the menace Dr. Maher's own delightful personality IS so firmly innoculated into the state commission and it's work that to re- move him IS to undo all the fine things that have been accomplished It's like knocking the foundation out of building and expecting it to stand. 1 hold no personal brief for pr Maher but as the representative Df 75,ooo workers and their depend ents in New Haven I feel that to fail o speak the truth in his behalf IS to 9nore one of the greatest friends the i1 our state has ever had.
 Employers Favor Him.
 And not alone for the vast army 'f workers IS 1t prudent that Dr. Iaher should be permitted to con lnue his vital public service but the mployers, l am reasonably sure, are olid against any change in the com nission's policies at the present time hey are acquainted with Dr. Maher's york in caring for their employees and hey have watched the progress of his ogged fight with admiration. I can mink of no reason for the removal of 'r. Maher unless state politics is the nderlying motive. But Governor 'empleton is too broad-minded to ermit politics/t to interfere when the ood health of our industrious and le future generation of workers IS at -ake"
