SENATORS HAVE
BLOOD DISEASE
LaFoIIette, Howell Stricken
With Curious AiIment.

bU HclfHCC NttfC
WASHINGTON. May 10.-A curl
Gus disease is causing two middle
western senators considerable pain
and discomfort, and forcing them
to eliminate most exercise from
their itineraries.
The disease is known as phlcbitlS,
an Inflammation of the veins. Acute
phlebitiS is a painful and very Seri-
Gus disease. The two senators who
are suffering are young Senator
Robert LaFOllette of Wisconsin, and
Senator Robert B Howell, of Ne
braSka. In both cases, one leg par
ticularly is affected.
Senator LaFollette has been SUI
fering for three years, particularly
after strenuous campaigns, and has
to wear a heavy rubber bandage on
his leg most of the time.
Senator Howell seems to have
contracted the trouble during his
last campaign, when he slipped and
fell as he was leaving a platform
For six months doctors at the naval
hospital kept him on his back, and
have only recently allowed him to
go back to his office, with instruc-
tionS to be very careful.
In phlebitis. the vein becomes in
famed and there is considerable
pain and swelling in the surround
ing tissues. The blood in the in
famed vein is very apt to clot.
Loosening of such a clot is extreme
~ dangerous, so rest is an essential
factor in the treatment of phlebitis.
Treatment must be adapted to the
individual case. Usually phlebitis
results in obliteration of the vein.

HOPE SEEN FOR
SENATE QUIZ or
TEXTILE STRIKE
Labor Leaders DenounCe
Conditions in South

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The in
! terest in the southern textile strike
shown by members of the senate
manufacturers committee gave hope
today to sponsors of the resolution
of Senator Burton K. Wheeler,
Montana, for a senate inquiry on
the situation.
The committee Thursday heard
President Mcmahon of the United
Textile Workers, and Elizabeth b.
wen, secretary treasurer Of the Tex
tile union at Elizabethton, Tenn.
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor ap-
peared Wednesday.
Green indicated the mill owners
and Chambers of Commerce of the
south as the real inStigatorS of So
called communism, by the long
hours, low wages and working con-
ditionS they allow to exist.
Import Soldiers
In Elizabethton, he said, 300 SOL
diers with machine guns mounted
on top of the mills have been i'm
ported into a peaceful mountain
community ito solve a problem
which sensible men in conference
could settle in five minutes"
He read communications from
chambers of commerce all over the
south, which he said we're trying to
attract northern mills, offering child
and woman labor at Sc to SIS a
week, fifty-fye hours to sixty hours
a week with no restriction on night
work, as inducements.
Some of the wage scales quoted
for women we're as follows: Florence,
S. c., SIS to $12; Sumter, S. c., $40 to
$40 for a fifty five-hour week;
jackson. Tenn, $11 to sic for fifty
seven hours: Johnson City, near
Eliabethton, $40 to $18 for fifty-siX
hours: Kingston, N. c. $12 to SIG
for sixty hours; Wilson, N. c.. $3.50
to $3.50.
Turn to Communism
1.-THE night shift is longer than
the day shift in most of these COM
munities, said Green. 1.-THE people
there know nothing about commun-
ism vet in North Carolina they
turned in their desperation Of COM
munistic leaders. The A. r. Of L. is
fighting communism and for Ameri-
canism. but God knows what may
happen if such conditions continue. "
He quoted an appeal of church
leaders headed by Bishop James
Cannon made more than a year
ago to mill owners to better con-
ditionS.
