WOMEN'S CONGRESSIONAL
4..3 COMMITTEE BACK ON JOB

perts are engaged to appear and
speak before the committees.
When the measure is to be voted
on by Congress, special workers are
assigned to ask each member of the
House and Senate how he will vote.
Keep Vote Records
If a congressman indicates that
his vote will be unfavorable, wires
are sent to the state chairmen Of
the organizations represented by
the committee which have indOrsed
the measure. The congressman
then straightway receives kilograms
from all these organizations local
chairmen, saying: "The women Of
your state are back of this measure;
they want you to vote in its favor"
A careful record is kept of how
measure in which the committee is
interested, and he may feel certain
that this record will be given wide
publicity at his next election.
The committee does not knock off
work after successful passage of
its measures. 1t has standing
"follow-up committee" which makes
it business to see that the mea-
sures. once passed, are properly
carried out.
It's "look out committee" keeps
an eye peeled for new measures
about to be introduced.
It's two other standing committees
are on publicity and admissions.

RECOGNITION
OF N. D. HEALTH
WORK BENEFIT
DIR. A. A. WhittemOre Sees
Financial Gain for State
Department as Result
WHAT RECORD MEANS

The North Dakota state health de
partment will profit much from add
mission into the Federal Registration
Area, announced yesterday by DIR. A.
a. Whittemore, state health officer,
Following receipt of a telegram from
the United States Bureau of Vital
Statistics, Il part of the Census Bur-
eau.
The state health department now
will be permitted to use the govern
ment mail frank in securing reports
on births and deaths, amounting to
about $4,000 year, and will receive
other privileges and emoluments. The
campaign for accurate birth and
death registration in North Dakota,
through which the state won admis-
sion into the Registration Area, cost
the state department but $496, Dr.
Whittemore said.
The Federal Registration Area was
created to admit birth and death re-
ports of states whose reports are
found accurate. Most, but not all of
the states in the union, have com
piled with the requirements. The vi
tai statistics are considered the foun-
dation Of all health work
DR.. Whittemore, pleased over the
success of North Dakota in passing
the test recently conducted of the
accuracy and completeness of North
) Dakota reports the score being 96
percent on death and 81 percent on
birth reports expressed thanks to
all who have aided in the campaign.
North Dakota did not have II full
time health department until July ],
1923, and obtaining accurate birth
and death reports was made the ma
jor duty of the department, which
"now is operating on limited funds.
Birth and death records and GER
tificates are important in many
ways" Dr.. Whittemore said. "They
prove age, legitimacy, parentagc,
citizenship. They are required for
passports, to obtain soldiers bonuses,
widows pensions, life insurance,

NOn-UniOn Mines
Are Death Traps

Wheeling, w. Va.-The Benwood
mine that exploded and caused the
death of more than 100 workers is
owned by the anti-union Wheeling
steel corporation.
The victims were of foreign nation
alities. They labored in this mine
without the slightest idea of danger.
For many years the Benwood mine
was owned by the Wheeling steel and
iron company and was operated un-
der union conditions. Then came the
inevitable consolidation and the or
ganization of the Wheeling steel cor
poration, with its over-capltallzatlon
and scramble for profits on paper"
values. With this initiation came anti
unionism, cheap labor and disregard
of the workers lives.
At the present rate the year 1924
will make a gruesome record for mine
deaths. January 25, gas explosion
in a mine at Jackson City, ILL.,, killed
81 workers. January 27, at Shank
town, Pa, 43 lost their lives; and on
February the bottom of lake over
the workings at Crosby, Mimi, caved
in and drowned Al workers.
On March 8 a triple explosion at
Castle Gate, Utah, killed 106 miners
and the April % explosion of the
Wheeling steel corporations mine
cost Ill lives.

Pneumatic Hammer
Hard on Mems Nerve

Kansas City, Mo.-A study of the
effects of the pneumatic hammer in
the boiler makers trade is suggested
by Editor Casey of the Boilermakers'
and Iron Ship Builders Journal.
Formerly two men operated this
hammer, popularity known as "the
gun" Now one man operates the
machine, whose vibration skaters the
workers nerves. The size of rivets
is increased as is the air pressure. In
tank building the piecework system is
often enforced, and the increased air
pressure makes this work a sweating
job, as the workers are speeded up.
Six years ago the United States
bureau of labor statistics studied the
use of "the gun" in the stone cutting
industry Stone cutters were unani-
nous that serious ailments and ply
sical deterioration result in the use of
the pneumatic hammer. Workers de-
clare it shakes every part of mans
body.

Cleveland Workers
Keep Union Rights

Cleveland-Membership in a union
is now recognized right of Cleveland
city employees. The anti-union direc-
tor of public safety, who theatened to
discharge any city fireman daring to
join the Fire Fighters union, has
been compelled to come to an agree
ment with union officials that men,
bership in a union is an inherent
right of city employees. The director
had discharged from service the pres
ident of the Fire Fighters union and
forbidden any fireman to hold union
membership.
The wave of public protest fright
ened the politicians. Calling a hur-
ried last-minute conference with lab
or, the local politicians guaranteed
the right of city employees to join
whatever unions they please, and re-
quested the agreement be kept conf
Dental.
