HONOR FOR MINER
WHO LOST LIFE
TO SAVE FRIEND

Bv International Labor News Service
Washington, ID. C., March 20
Recognition of heroism performed on
no reeking field of battle, but in the
ranks of industry, is given in the
awarding of the hero medal of the
Joseph A. Holmes Safety Association
10 William Culp, who lost his life IN
a salt mine near Detroit, Mich, while
endeavoring to rescue fellow-workef.
Culn. a job superintendent, of his
own volition, lowered himself IN a
bucket to the depth of a 550-foot
shaft on June 10, 1924, in an effort TO
save the life of an employe who had
previously descended the shaft to IN
vestigate the breakdown Of a pump,
and from whom no word had been re-
ceived. due to the failure of the sig
nal system. Culp made an almost
superhuman, though unsuccessful,
effort to rescue his felow-worker,
forcing his way through an accumu-
lation of several feet of water and an
atmosphere permeated by deadly
gases. After having exhausted his
energies in his attempt to rescue the
other man, Culp was unable to CLIMB
back into the shaft bucket, and was
drowned.
The hero medals of the Joseph A.
Holmes Safety Association are be
slowed annually on miners whose acts
of courage and self-sacrifice in the
succor of their comrades in the stress
of mine disasters are considered TO
be the most deserving of his high
honor. The Joseph A. Holmes Safety
Association is an organization num-
bering in its membership thousands
of miners banded together for the
promotion of safety in mining and
constitutes a living memorial to the
memory of the first director of the
Bureau of Mines.
Representatives of the Bureau Of
Mines of the Department of the In
terror. the American Mining Congress,
the National Coal Association, and the
United Mnie Workers of America, as
members of the executive committee
of the association, recommended tn the
posthumous honor for CuIp. Inc
presentation of the hero medals are
made at the international hrst-aid
mine rescue contests which are held
annually at different cities.

PROPOSED BILL
WOULD INCREASE
HEALTH FUND

Springfield, lll.. March 26--fhe
appropriations committee has tee
turned To the House bill asking for
An annual increase of 100000 TO the
state department of public health With
the recommendation that II do pass.
In the face of determined economy
program the director OF the budget,
with the approval of the Governor, en-.
dorsed the bill on the grounds that An
expansion OF public health service
will result in distinct economy IN the
long run, parsimony IN connection
with this important official activity.
according 10 administration leaders,
amounts 10 wastaRe rather than
saving.
Chicago, il was pointed out, has be
come the healthiest biz city IN the
United States through efficient public
health work. The entire state can
enjoy similar record by the same
means. For three successive years
the death rate in Chicago has been
lower than that for the down-staie
whereas 1t was formerly always
greater.
Health work more than pays its
way" declared DR.. Isaac ID. Raw
lings, state health director in com
menting on the bill Two decades
ago, for example, typhoid fever
caused 10000 more cases Of illness
per year in Illinois than it does nov,
and 10000 cases Of typhoid would cost
100000 In cold cash. Typhoid
would come back but for the vigil
ance Of the health department that
now asks for a total appropriation II
half a million dollars annually.
another example Is diDhthena.
This disease now causes an average
of 10000 cases and 100 fatalities an.
nually. Sufficient public health serY-
ice would eliminate this malady be
cause il Is positively preyeniable. i
"Illinois now spends less than I
cent sper capita per year for public
health service compared with ~ IN
Massachusetts. % IN Pennsylvania
and II in New York. The little state
of MARYLAND employs 10 field pbysi-
clans 10 serve 10000 people while
Illinois employs 7 field physicians TO

INDIANA LORDS
UPHOLD SALE OF
PRISON GOODS

r. International Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 26.-The
blI 70 prevent the sale of prison
me- goods in Indiana was killed IN
The lower House after considerable
debate led by labor members. The
bII. vas intended to prohibit contracts
for labor of prisoners in State penal
Institutions, or the sale of articles
manufactured by them except to State
.n.u utions.
Before the bill was killed an amend
meut was introduced and adopted
winch permitted the general sale OF
pfison-made products. The argument
presented was that the State had a
large investment at its penal insu-
utionS and to pass the bill would de-
,troy that investment. Representa-
tive of organized labor replied that
rriSon-made goods were in direct COM
pettion with free labor in the State.
Gnder the present State law all prls-
ur-made products must bear the label
"pfj~on made" This law was enacted
N the hehest of labor a few years
ago.
Organized labor in Indiana, in con-
junction With trade unions in other
State,, has conducted a campaign
against the general sale of prison
made goods. The fact that one or two
4 Chicago concerns have prison con
4 tfact, in the manufacture of shirts
and other products Of the needle trade
in Indiana and two or three other
States brought about an unusual in
iefest in the bill introduced into the
Assembly here. 1t is understood that
the prison contract employers main
tanned a strong lobby here in defense
u their position.
