Unusual progress in the farming
industry was reported by the state
Of Utah, this being due to the CO.
operative marketing development,
which shows that the Utah Coopera-
tive Beet association has signed up

DOCTORS ARE TRICKED
BY INJURY EXPLORERS

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 16.-The
medical profession in this state is re-
alizing that hospital contract doctors
tricked them into opposing the COM
pulsory workmen's compensation act
at the annual meeting of the Oregon
Medical society.
The compulsory compensation pro-
posal win Be passed upon by the vot-
ers next month. II adopted it will
end the hospital contract system in
Oregon, which has been a reproaeh
to the industrial life of this state.
Hospital contract doctors profit by
this iniquity, and they are active in
urging It's continuance.
When the medical society met, the
proposed compulsory compensation
law was opposed because the contract
doctors denounced it so vigorously.
They said it would "socialize medi-
cne," would wreck the medical pro-
fsssion" and destroy medical stand
rds in this country"
Now the state medical profession
has awakened to the fact that they
have been victimized by medical poll
ticians who are SO unethical they take
hospital contracts while assuming to
guard the Standards of the medical
profession.
"This cheap political trick has not
deceived the workers, organized and
unorganized," says the Oregon Labor
Press. The workers are opposing a
system which permits contracts be-
tween employers and physicians, fore
ing a system Of arbitrary, CONNER
cialized medicine upon thousands of
workmen, according to the labor pa
per.

It is a fact, sad but true, that
many employers can not be induced
to aid enthusiastically in safety work
unless it can be proved that it means
dollars and cents to them. This being
the case, it would seem to be the part
of wisdom for safety workers to take
the path of least resistance and show
employers that it is to their financial
advantage to prevent industrial acct
dents.
C. C. Macdonald, safety engineer
of a large steel corporation, found
that the financial agreement in favor
Of safety work was the most potent.
Writing in Safety Engineering, he
tells of the difficulties he encountered
in securing the cooperation of all
parties at interest, and declares that
he was able to secure results only
after he had convinced the manage
ment "that safety and accident pre-
vention were not separate adjuncts

constituted a very vital part Of the

Foes of the League of Nations like
to assert that the League is dead
The League, however, goes serenely
on, with every appearance of life.
1t positively refuses to sleep, let alone
die.
In addition to the plans just made
for gaining international cooperation
to end war, of Importance to every
worker in the world, the League
through it's International Labor Of
flee, has recently accomplished labor
reforms of direct interest to American
workers.
The international Labor Office,
through conference and other
means, has brought about changes in
four nations that will result in re-
ducing the unfair competition that
American workers and manufactur-
ers have been forced to meet from
countries having an unlimited supply
of cheap labor.
In India the activities of the Labor
Office have reduced the hours of child
workers and adult factory workers
and raised the minimum age of child
toilers in certain industries. In China
the Government has taken the first
steps toward the state regulation of
labor conditions.
In Japan, child labor reforms have
been put into effect, use of white
phosphorus in matchmaking for
hidden and other steps in advance
taken. The Persian Government, at
the instance of the Labor Office has
acted to protect women and chill
dren in work shops.
The reforms outlined above are
inadequate, but they make definite
progress in the worldwide campaign
to improve the status of labor and
reduce competition with countries
like the United States that maintain
better working conditions and shorter
working hours, as such they serve
the interest of every worker.
