Illinois Fight Against
Sterilization May Face
New York Labor Unions

By International Labor News Service
New York.-The fight against in
discriminate sterilization at the hands
of autocratic authorities waged and
won by Illinois labor a little more
than a year ago may have it's counter
part in New York state in the i'm
mediate future.
DR.. Harry M. Laughlin, or the eu-
genics record office, making his re-
port this week, has offered what the
report terms model eugenics law,
which would place autocratic power
over the masses in the hands of doc
tors appointed by the state.
These doctors would be empowered
to comb the population to hunt out
men and women suspected of being
potential parents of socially made
quate children" they to be judges Of
the potentiality and the probably So
cial inadequacy of the children, the
district court to order the sterilizing
operation.
1t is pointed out that laws contain
ing somewhat similar provisions went
into effect in Maine year ago 1t is
pointed out also that there are steril-

;zation laws in % states, applicable
20 the general population in four of
them.
In the proposed "model" law the
medical authorities selected would be
directed to conduct field surveys
seeking first hand data concerning the
hereditary constitution Of all persons
in the state who are socially made
quate personally, or who, although
personally normal, carry degenerate
or defective hereditary qualities Of a
socially inadequate nature, and to
seek information from individuals and
public and private social welfare,
charitable and scientific organizations
possessing special acquaintance with
and knowledge of such persons"
1t is obvious that all so-called So
cial agencies, under such a law, could
be organized to rake the population
for subjects who could, justly or other
wise, be slated as subjects for steril-
ization.
Opposition arises from the unwill-
ingness to place the fate of people in
this respect in the hands of any auto
cratic machinery, either public or
semi-public.

Engineer Says Patent Office
Robs and Cheats Inventors by
Corrupt and Criminal Practices

gressman Vestal stated that his COM
mittee is interested in the situation
and will be ready to have Barlow ap-
pear before it to explain his recent
action
Barlow asserts:
"Real inventors are denied patents
in many cases, and the invention
stolen by others. Rich corporations
frequently gain control of inventions
worked out by poor men.
II have proof that special applica-
tions for patents made as a means
toward military defense have been
mailed to private individuals. The
war department has recently lost
valuable military rights through this
practice.
''The patent bureau, in cooperation
with other federal departments and
bureaus, deprived one American scien-
tist and inventor of patent rights and
threatened him with 10 years in a
federal penitentiary and $4,000
fine if he made move in his own de-
fense. Since the war gag rule has
been employed to keep scientists and
inventors in line"

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. c. Sensational
charges against the patent office are
contained in letter filed with Con-
gressman Vestal, chairman of the
House patents committee, by Lester
P. Barlow, engineer and inventor of
the aerial bomb.
Barlow charges that inventors are
being robbed through corrupt and
criminal practices by officials of the
patent office.
In an interview with international
Labor News Service, Barlow said that
the basis for his charges are actual
experiences which he had had in the
prosecution of various patent appli-
cations. In one case he declares that
the patent office took secret matter
in the form of claims and sent it to
private parties outside Of the patent
office so that they could copy them
and file for a patent on them. This
was done, he said, to prevent his OBJ
tanning patent on the device which
he had invented.
The charges made by Barlow are
serious and criminal in nature. Con-

great achievements which have
brought untold benefits to labor were
due to the practical application of Ia
