The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-07-23

The alleged medical efficacy Of
slightly radioactive waters and other
slightly radioactive preparations has
been found to be much misrepresent-
ed, say officials of the bureau Of
chemistry Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, who, in the
enforcement of the federal Food and
Drugs act, have made a nationwide
survey of walters and drugs alleged
to be radioactive.
The products analysed for content
Of radium included hair tonics, bath
compounds, suppOsitOries, tissue
creams, tonic tablets, face powders,
Ointments, mouth washes, demulcents,
Opiates, opthalmic solutions, healing
pads and other preparations in solid,
semi-sOlid and liquid form for which
therapeutic value because Of alleged
radiOactivity was claimed. Only 5
per cent Of the products analysed and
claimed ito be radioactive contained
radium in sufficient quantities to en-
title them to consideration as thera-
peutic agents and then only in cer-
tain very limited conditions, say the
officials.
Highly exaggerated therapeutic
claims obviously designed to mislead
the purchaser are being made for
many Of the products which contain
little or no radium. One of the sam
pies examined consisted Of a short
glass rod coated on one end with a
yellow substance and enclosed in \
glass bulb. The bulb is designed to
be hung over the bed and according
to the claims of the inventor causes
dispersion of "all thoughts and worry
about work and troubles and brings
cOntentment, satisfaction and bodily
comfort that soon results in peace
full restful Sleep"
Action will be taken under the fed
eral Food and Drugs act against
shipments of the alleged radioactive
products which are falsely or fraud
ulently misbranded. A warning re-
garding the indiscriminate use Of
those few products which are highly
radioactive is also sounded by the Of
ficials.

BY AMY scHEcHTER.

THE close of the civil war found
the workers of the United States
face to face with tremendous new
problem-the problem created by the
emancipation of the toiling masses
of Negroes of the south. In its eco
nomic aspects the question was PR
marily one of a vast reserve of labor
being suddenly thrown upon the
market, adding a new and portentous
element to the supreme danger with
which American labor was confronted
at the moment-the systematic at
tempt of the employing class to smash
the rising organizations of the work
ers, by the use of immigrant ana
contract labor to break strikes and
undermine wage and living standards.
The capitalist class of postcivil war
days-whose development as the dom
inant force in society had received
tremendous impetus from the great
railroad expansion of the ffties follow
ed by the profiteering orgy in war
SuUUllGSg INC llunCuSCAy ulSn wal
time protective tariff, and the rapid
extension of machine industry-was
determined to crush the rapidly grow
ing labor movement, which, in answer
to the same conditions, was for the
first time organizing on a national
scale, and becoming force to be
recokned with in industrial life. Cap
ital was endeavoring to press to the
limit the advantage gained at the
close of the war, when two million
men had been flung back from the
battle onto the labor market, with
acute unemployment as a consequence.
The resulting conflict which culminat-
ed in the great nationwide strikes of
n, forms as militant an episode as
any in the history of the American
workers movement.
The capitalist press of the period
is quite open in dealing with this
campaign against organized labor. In
those days the capitalist class still had
the crude aggressiveness of class
newly feeling its strength; and its
newspapers had not yet acquired the
knack of ascribing a high and holy
purpose to it's union-smashing tactics.
During the hot struggle of 1874 in the
New York building industry, for ex-
ample, the New York Times wrote
with engaging frankness recommend
ing the use of an Italian scab-herding
agency to break the resistance of the
Irish and American workingmen. 'The
workingmen," it writes, would I'M
doubtedly give way but for the de-
Tense afforded by the labor unions.
These enable them to hold out. 4.
"The time has come in which the
employers are beginning to make a
determined effort to break up this
stagnation, and reduce the scale of
wages. They have the advantage in
this city of being able to get access
to a class Of foreign workmen who
are not in such intimate connection
with trades unions as our own or the
German and Irish laborers-we mean
the Italians. Yet there is no more
industrious or sober nationality among
the working classes.
"This effort is made by the en-
ployer in the form of an incorporated
company, and with purely business
objects. The association is entitled
the New York Italian Labor Com
pany'. This arrangement will al
most do away with strikes, and as

a question of the utmost concern to

enter into relations with European
labor as represented by the Interna

in order to take up the question OF
the establishment Of an emigration
bureau for the regulation of emigrant

of both continents. After the congress
the general council of the interna-

CUTTERS NEED
ATTENTION NOW

Home owners are often careless
of the condition of cutters, especial
ly in the fall of the year, prior to
the wintry rains and the seasons of
freezing and thawing. Many homes
are allowed to become rundown and
leaky caves and downspouts hasten
such condition unless repairs are
made.
The Ideal Heating Company, 2437-
3S Central Ave-, makers of Escol
furnaces, has a splendid roofing de-
partment and has been busy with
roof repair work. according to Harry
Escol, who is associated in the firm
with his father, Louis, and his
brother, Lyman.
Leaves in the cutters ought to
be cleaned out carefully to prevent
water from backing up in the cutters
and the downspouts also carefully
cleared out" said Escol.
After the caves are cleaned out,
they should be given a coat of paint
that will resist weather conditions
and prevent rust from eating away
the metal. Many times a coat of
paint will prolong the life of gut
ters and downspouts many years.
improvements have been made by
the company in the roofing depart
ment and many special patterns have
been added. The company handles
Flint Kote roofing, which comes in
shingles and in rolls, which is a very
high grade product Escol declared,
and has given satisfaction on many
homes of the city. The company
also handles other medium grades
of roofing materials.
