PUBLIC HEALTH
IS BETTER

New York-The health of the peo-
pie of the United States and Canada
was, in all probability, better in 1924
than ever before, according to the
Statistical Bulletin of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company. This is
the first year in which every impor-
tant cause of death has registered a
decrease from the year before. This
is indicated by the years amazingly
low mortality record for approx
mately 100000 people-the indus
trial policy holders of the company
who constitute approximately one
seventh of the combined population of
the two countries. Their death rate
was 8.5 per 1000, which was So per
cent better than the year before.
The splendid health record, it is
stated, is due, above all else, to the
absence of epidemic prevalence of any
disease
The only gloom in this report is the
number of deaths and injuries through
automobile accidents, and the state
ment that the campaign against can
Ger is not as successful as typhoid
fever, tuberculosis, maternal disease,
diarrheal complains, diabetes and
other diseases.

NONE TRUST IT
Railroad Labor Board Is
Useless, Senators Declare

Washington.-By vote of az to
81 the senate rejected Mr.. Howell's
proposal that the railroad labor board
be abolished.
The author, together with other
senator's, read into the record testi-
mony to prove bias of Ben w. Hooper
chairman of the board, and the lack of
confidence railroad employees have in
the board.
Senator Howell showed that the
business of the board has dropped
from an average, prior to 1924, OF
over 3,100 cases a year down to about
800 cases last year. The cases now
before the board, Senator Howell said
are mostly of trivial character.
"The railroad labor board has shown
it's incapacity," declared Mr.. Howell
"It is neither meeting with the ap-
proval of the public, nor with the ap-
proval of many of the arrangements
of the railroads, nor with the ap-
proval of the employees themselves
However, because the arrangements OF
the railroads prefer to have it as il
is, not because it accomplishes its
purposes, but to have it as it is be-
cause they can fout its decisions, they
stand back and say that there shall
be no legislation to meet the situation
that confronts the country"
Senator Pittman said there are
very few senators who know any
thing about the Howell -Barkley bill
This proposed act is intended to sup
plant the railroad labor board. 1t has
been subjected to hurricane of abuse
by railroad managers and the public
press.
Senator Howell declared that every
attempt to induce the railroad man
ayers to meet and discuss the Howell
Barkley bill has failed, although the
senate interstate commerce committed
voted, IL to 3, to make favorable
report on this proposed legislation.
After quoting from numerou:
speeches by Chairman Hooper, il
which he attacked railroad employe:
and their trade union officials, Sena
tor Shipstead asked:
"Does the senator from Maryland
(Mr. Bruce) believe that membel
of labor board showing these preju
dices and bases is fit member, fol
instance, to sit upon board and carr!
out the provisions and the spirit O.
the section of the transportation ac
providing for the establishment of {
labor board ?"

HIGHER WAGES

Poverty in New York

New York.-Higher wages, work.
mems compensation and immigration
legislation are factors that have re-
duced poverty and dependency in this
city, according to the annual report
of the Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor.
"Ten years. results of the operation
of the workmen's compensation act
have amply justified the effort" the
report states. Accidents are now
compensated for with a certainty.
Hospital and medical care are provid-
ed, insuring a maximum of possibil-
ity of early recovery and return to
industry, and considerable group of
families are removed fro mthe neces-
sity of applying for relief to any
organization. Furthermore, the ex-
perience of the past 10 years has de-
that the volume of depen-
dency created from this source was
too great to be readily met as relief
problem by either public or private
Evidence seems to in
dicate also that the operation of this
law is tending to reduce the total
volume Of distress due to accidents in
The report makes this reference to
recent legislation that restricts immi-
grafton:
ut has been obvious to social work
ers that the problem of dependency
Is very closely related to the problem
Of immigration. Significant with ref
erence to this correlation is the fact
that in 72 per cent of the families

WERE CALLED RADICALS

They hung John Brown because he
sought to abolish slavery, and they
shot Lincoln because he did what
Brown tried to do. Lovejoy was
lynched in Boston. Most of the
American revolutionists managed to
die in bed like decent citizens, but
that was only because the British
failed to catch them. When John
Hancock put his John Hancock on the
declaration of independence, he said:
Nov, we'd better hang together or
they will hang US separately"-and
they surely would have hung him if
the department of justice of King
George had been able to lay hands on
them.
Going back little farther, and to
mention only few more radicals, we
find Christ who was crucified between
two thieves because he drove the
money lenders out of the temple; and
Moses, who led the general strike of
the children of Israel, and for all his
trouble got only peep at the prom
ised land.
The strangest part about the rad
icals is why future generations make
so much to do over them. Seems like
posterity doesn't accept the estimate
which the respectful citizens who jail
ed, hanged and crucified these radi-
Gals placed upon them. But, however
that may be, the fact is that nearly
every one of the great men of the
past whom we honor, follow or wor-
ship has been called radicals in his
own time-Ex.

UNEMPLOYMENT

Unemployment is becoming acute
in Canada. Municipal and provincial
authorities are moving to relieve dis
tress.
II More than generation ago, wher
this country faced similar situation
Henry George, "the prophet of Sar
Francisco" wrote as follows:
Suppose that when thousands are
out of work and there are hard times
everywhere, that we could send a
deputation to the high court of heaven
to represent there the poverty and
| misery on earth due to men not find
! ing employment. Why, what answer
should we get?
care your lands all in use? Are
your mines worked out? Are there no
natural opportunities for the employ
ment of labor?'
what could we ask Him for that
He has not already given us in
abundance? He has given US this
globe filled with raw materials ready
to our hands. He has given to us
alone of the brute creation, the power
to work up these raw materials into
things that we want to use.
"If there seems to be scarcity, if
there is want, if there are thousands
of people tramping our streets in
search of work, it is not because what
He intended for all has been made
the private property of few"

DANGER TO STATE CONTROL

Owen R. Lovejoy, general secretary
of the national child labor committee,
sounded a timely note of warning
when he declared in recent address
at Chicago that defeat of national
control of child labor means discredit-
ing of state control. Already the ex-
ploiters of children are taking heart
from the defeat of the child labor
amendment, and their next step will
very likely be an attack on state
child labor laws.
AS Mr.. Lovejoy said:
"The next step is the capitalization
of the defeat of the amendment in the
adverse states by bringing about
either a lowering of their nomina
standards or a laxness of enforce
ment.
"The trend of child protection
which was upward while congress hac
power to enact child labor laws, may
be expected to be lowered wherever
the amendment is defeated, and once
several states lower their nominal ane
actual standards, other states will bt
forced to follow"

WAR FRAUDCASES FAIL

Washington.-The government has
failed in its policy of convicting busi-
ness men charged with war fraud
The three-year-old statute of limita-
tion was extended three years ago
With this statute lapsed on war crime,
department of justice officials find
that the government has obtained two
convictions, including one plea of
guilty, out of the mass of sensational
testimony and findings turned over by
the Graham investigating committee
four years ago. The department of
justice will now institute civil pro-
ceedings, and has secured an addi-
tional appropriation of $1,000,000 for
that purpose.
The collapse of the criminal pro-
ceedings mark the end of Attorney
General Daugherty's war fraud bu-
reau which was established for the
purpose of convicting war profiteers
