CHEMISTS BRING HOPE
a soRIPPs-HowARD NEWSPAPER

THE chemist has been getting a bad name
for himself lately. II sometimes seems as
If he never gets his name in the paper except
when ne invents a new kind Of poisonous
gas. OF devises a new industrial process which
viii put more men out Of work
It Is only fair, therefore, TO remind ourselves
that there is another side to the ledger. Pro-
oeedings Of the annual meeting Of the Amer
lean Chemical Society. at Cleveland. show
how these scientists are working steadily TO
make the world a happier place.
For example: Two University OF Pennsyl-
vania men report TO the society that they have
discovered a new substance in the bodies OF
men which seems to make human tissues re-
sistant 10 cancer. It is suggested that it may
be the presence of this substance In a healthy
body which makes it free from cancer-and
the absence Of it which makes cancer develop.
Not enough is known yet. to enable one
to say what importance this discovery may
eventually have. But there is just a chance
that the great war on cancer is appreciably
nearer final victory because of it.
Another group OF research specialists tell
how they have developed a drug which deals
out death to pneumonia germs.
This drug. seemingly effective against all
types Of pneumonia germs. is a derivative Of
an earlier-known compound which. while
fatal to the germs. also was very destruc-
tive Of human tissue-and, therefore. too dam
gerous 20 use medically.
The dangers seem to have been overcome;
and, once again. while it is too early TO pre-
dict that the long-sought specific for pneu-
monia has been found. it is Just possible that
this dreaded disease may be on the verge of
being conquered.
Still another chemist reports that the use
Of copper and iron salts will cure nutritional
anemia in infants. Another tells OF a new
drug for the reatmen OF tat embohsm. a
deadly congestion OF the lungs which some
times occurs after a major operation.
All of these thing-some OF which may
have the most profound influence on the
effort to reduce human suffering and misery
are simply part OF the ordinary. day-to-day
work which goes on in our research labora-
tories.
We seldom hear Of this work. The chem
ist goes his way unsung, and most Of us con-
meet his name chiefly with death and de-
struction. It is only fair to remember that
there is another side to It.

THE EVIDENCE MOUNTS

DICKERSON n. HOOVER. head Of the

that Daniel Campbell. the steward. who dis

between the writing room and the lounge in
stead Of hurrying away for q fire extinguisher.

CONDITIONS
AT TEXTILE MILL

By Mrs. Birdie Farley.
I am a former textile worker,
having been employed by The In
dianapolis Bleaching Company some
few years ago, I thought I might
be able to enlighten the public re-
garding some of the conditions that
existed and still exist in the bleach
ing plant.
After reading the statement OF
Charles A. Young, the general man
ager, in The Times, to the effect
that he was opening a dining room
for the Scabs and that the strikers
also could eat there, if they were
hungry, I had a feeling, that I sure
ly would like to reply to this.
I would like to ask Mr.. Young
with all the respect in the world, this
one question. Does his conscience
hurt him, or was he trying to draw
public sentiment, as he has tried to
do in the past, by making mlslead-
ing statements in regard to the
wage of his employees?
I vas on the picket line on pay
day OF last week, and saw some Of
the checks myself, and what The
Times printed in regard to same.
was absolutely true in every re-
spect, and that the statement OF
MIR. Young to the effect that no
employe of his drew less than S13
for a full weeks work, is absolutely
untrue, for he has never paid more
than So which is the southern wage
scale at this time.
Of course, there is no further
argument as to the wages he paid
his employees. His offer to the
strikers to come and eat if they were
hungry. speaks for itself.
Just why does Mr.. Young think
his employees are hungry? When
they are only in the second week OF
the strike, there is only one answer
he saw their checks last week and
his own conscience tells him that
he didn't pay them enough in one
week to buy food for two weeks,
hence the invitation to eat.
How well I remember when I got
Job down here. I had just got
in from Georgia where long hours
for low wages prevail The foreman
told me I would work only fifty
hours a week, and he showed me all
the nice things around the mill
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-09-18

among them, the dining room,
locker rooms, shower baths, hot and
cold water and last, but not least,
the beautiful trees and grassy lawn
for the pleasure of employees in the
morning and at noon.
I was elated to be sure for I
thought I had found at last a mod
ern cotton mill. Can you imagine
my disappointment when I went to
work the next morning at a few
minutes of starting time, which vas
6:45 and the last whistle blew at
Z, forty-five minutes for noon
lunch, which you never got, for the
power runs on, and if you wanted
to keep your looms in running con-
dition you would run out TO the
lunchroom and get your dinner in
an ice cream pail, and eat it, while
walking up and down your alley
watching your work. Stopping time
was supposed to be 4:45. At 5
o'clock the power was shut off, then
you could take your shower while
you were resting.

BY a Reader.
How much longer are we, the
parents of Indiana school chill
dren, going to bow submissively to
the Indiana school book racke-
teers?
In the midst of the greatest CO.
nomical crisis of all history we
allow ourselves to be saddled with
the most vicious graft ever wished
on a defenseless public, by a group
of uncompromising agents of sup
posed benefactors to the cause of
higher intelligence.
Only men, of the higher cir
cles of the states educational work
are responsible for this m%ontrosity.
Parents who have tried hard to
keep up a show of responsibility
are being forced by such methods
into the valley of desperation.

continue the crop control plan.
With %, 900 900 persons on federal
relief who average sic a family a

TEXTILE STRIKER
GIVES VIEWS

By a Striker.
I am an Indianapolis Bleaching
Company striker. I think I have
worked there long enough to know
why I am on strike.
The girls in the carding depart
ment work harder now than they
did before we had the NRA. I know
that we piece workers didn't use
to sweep and we didn't have to do
all of the cleaning and oiling every
day. I would like for those who still
are working to deny this, and yet
they are satisfied to work for low
wages.
The strikers and the s~trikebreak-
ers know that these r the words
Of MI. Young:
"If I were a working ran and
made my living by the sweat OF
my brow, I would be the best union
man there is"
What more do his employees want
him to say?

standing of unionism and the New
Deal.
Poorly informed persons say that
union membership is the same as a
discharge slip and they meekly bow
their heads. Why? The New Deal
definitely guarantees no discrimina-
ton because of union membership.
The manufacturers organization,
coupled with civic organizations Of
all sorts, have repeatedly stood in
the way of workers organization. 1t
is time. we, the workers, awaken
and use the tools that our employ
ers have used and are using.
Let us organize. Let us help in
organization and back the textile
workers in their fight against the
Employers Association of which the
Indianapolis Bleaching Company is
a part and thus make Indianapolis
a union town.

TAX WORK OF
COUNTY COUNCIL

By Oscar Wuensch.
The county council-What has it
been doing for the benefit of the
taxpayer?
Others have been praised for the
reduction in taxes for 1885. Not
one word of praise has been said
for the present council. Isn't it a
fact it should receive credit and
praise? All budgets and approprla-
lions must have its approval before
being paid. I will say the members
are the watchmen OF the publlc's
money.
1t would be hard to get another
like the present council. Every
member is a hard worker and zeal
GUS to do his share for the public.
Especially should praise be given to
John S.. Newhouse, Cortez Blue and
Edward H. Resener, for their good
work.
Mr.. Newhouse, Cumberland, is a
candidate for county commissioner
and no doubt will be a good man
for the Office. Mr.. Blue and Mr..
Resener are candidates for re-elec-
ton. They deserve to be elected on
Nov. 6 with the rest of the Demo-
cratic ticket.

School Book Change Branded Racket

With every high school text
book, a work book is required,
which costs so cents. The whole
situation is worked out in a high
powered racketeering manner.
If the teachers show any hos
tility toward making the chill
dren use the new changed books
the school loses its rating. You
can easily see where that places
the school superintendent. They
are being indirectly penalized if
they dare revolt.
Now, parents is the time to show
your strength and do not be
wishy-washy on this question.
Refuse to buy these new books
and continue to refuse as long as
we are haraSsed for our daily
bread.

ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS
OF BIBLE LACKING

In an article in The Message Cen
ter a few days ago, there appeared
this statement by Stuart E. Reed:

scripture"
This is a slight exaggerationlas no
original manuscript or document is
now in existence. The nearest we
have in that respect are but crude
and indistinct copies of those orig
inals.
