Among the saddest Of diseases to
occur to mankind Is the death OF
a mother from infection during
childbirth. This condition. Scientii-
ically called puerperal septicemia,
has disturbed the minds or meci-
cal men for years. Methods have
been developed for preventing in
lection in childbirth which seem
70 be able To control the condition
in the vast majority OF cases. At
tempts have been made to dissemi-
nate this knowledge among physi-
clans, midwives and prospective
mothers. but for some reason rates
90 net seem 10 decline very rapidly.
For seven years vast sums OF mon
CIV have been spent In the United
States under legislation which pro-
vlded for the s OF government
funds for this purpose Unfcrtu-
nately the money spent does not
seem TO have influenced greatly the
control Of puerperal sepsis.
Recently Dr. O.. T.. Harmon nf the
Western Reserve University has
Analysed the deaths from this cause
In the United States for the period
from 1922 TO 1927 inclusive The
figures show that there certainly

to have much significance.
There seems TO be no doubt that
when women give birth 10 children
in hospitals under well controlled
conditions and when the childbirth
- attended by a competent physi-
clan who understands thoroughly
the methods Of prevention OF puer-
peral infection. the rates can be
greatly reduced. Unfortunately the

birth TO children under such opti-
mum conditions. There Is reason 10

FORD PLANT IN
EDGEWATER, N. J.
CLOSED DOWN
5000 j. bic IS Must
Organize in Fight
for Relief

The three thousand workers at the
Edgewater plant of the Ford Motor
Co., have been told that the plant is
going to be closed. There are rumors
going around that the plant will be
closed for two months and that many
OF those now in the plant will never
get their jobs back.
For the past two months the work.
ers have been working only fourteen
hours week for which they got the
miserable wages of $12 average. These
hunger wages were not enough to pay
for carfare and food for their fami-
lies not to speak of rent, electricity,
and gas. Many of the workers who
have now been thrown on the street
are several months behind in their
rents and their gas and electric bills
are unpaid. These workers face not
only having their gas and electric cut
off but eviction and starvation.
While Ford has been speeding up
the conveyors, the workers have been
fed with hokum about things getting
better soon" Now, the plant has
been closed. While Ford has been
starting the conveyors several minutes
early in the morning and stopping
them several minutes late at night in
order to squeeze the last few cents
out of the workers, he has done alb
Solutely nothing to provide for the
workers who have now been thrown
out of their jobs. He has used the
pushers to set an ever faster pace
while the hours of the men have been
cut down.
The only way in which the workers
can fight the starvation program of
Ford is by organizing a solid united
front of all the workers in the plant.
Organize committees of action to
force Ford to pay the workers unem-
ployemnt relief. In order to win i'm
mediate relief and unemployment in
surance the Ford workers must stug-
gle together with the other employed
and unemployed workers. Fight for
a wintr steak of $3.50 to be paid for
by the government. Organize COM
mitees of action of the workers in
the Ford plant. Join the only organ
ization that has been organizing the
struggle against wage cuts and speed
up in the plant. Join the Metal
Workers Industrial League. 5 West
