LOS ANGELES, April 7. (U.P) -
Suits asking $4,000 damages for al
legged alienated affections and false
Imprisonment against Douglas Fair
banks, Jr., have been quietly drop
ped, it was learned today.
The suits were brought by Jorgen

of alternating the affections of Dietz'
former wife, Solveig Dietz, and in
the other of having instigated E-etz'
unlawful detention at the district
attorneys office. The detention was
the result of Fairbanks counter
charge that Dietz was attempting
extortion by demanding that Fair
banks buy from him a $500 necklace
for $4,000.
Dietz' attorney filed notice of dis
misSal of the actions.

MA ny political Developments

toward the planned economy of

The lumber operators have
built up strong organized asso-
Citations that place them in
position to attack the lumber
unions more effectively than
ever before. Many instruments
of control have been developed
by them-the black list, the
espionage system, "termers,"

In order to fully understand

one must keep in mind the fol

wore a star and gun. Four SOL

night at each crossing where a
track crossed a street with orders
to shoot at anyone who stood
still on the crossing, and to shoot
to kill. There were infantry, ar

ear was to be on. 1t was dry and

had his men lay down in the
ditch and told them not to fire
until he gave the command. then
to shoot as fast as they could.
At the first shot the engineer re-.

scheme have no program. AS a
matter of fact they cannot have
any definite plan. because the
organization Of public health de-
ponds intimately on the social
structure and capitalism has no
program except the negative
one of preserving itself against
communism; the next step in
social evolution. Capitalism
lives from day to day and the
public health in capitalistic
countries must adapt itself to
the possibilities and haphaZard
undertakings of the general
scheme. In Soviet Russia, on
the other hand, each year marks
new step in the realization of
the program of socialism and
each step means an extension of
the protection of public health.
Sickness Is Material Loss
In the USSR, medicine is a
collective function. The Russ
ian government regards sickness
of one of its members and
every worker is considered ~
member of the government IA
a material loss to the individual
as well to the community. 1t.
therefore tries to prevent Illness
with all the power at its COM
mand and to stamp out any dis
eases which are already in eX-
istance, regardless of cost. Thus
we see remarkable develop
ment of preventive medicine and
of prOphylactic measures in Rus
Sia that is still unknown in cap
italiStic countries. Modern Rus
sian medicine has, therefore,
the distinctive trait of the pre-
p0nderance of preventive medi-
cal agencies over the mere cura-
tive branches. The final aim of
the public health system in Rus
STA being to have a healthy work
er in healthful environment.
Medicine Is Like Groceries
In capitalistic countries, medi-
cine is merchandise which is
bought and sold. like groceries.
Those who have no money can
not buy the means of getting
well. There is no question of
preventing diseases among the
workers. In the larger centers

Der Industry
Unions organized by the lum-
Der workers date back to 1873
when the workers inthe Red
wood region of California organ
lied several locals OF the knights
of Labor, then fast sweeping the
entire country.
The first organization was a
trail blazer in the rapidly ex-
banding industry. Numerous
unions followed the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Woods
men and Sawmill Workers, Int
lernatiOnal Single Weavers IN
ion, international Union of Tim
Der Workers, The Lumber Work
ers Industrial Union of IWW.
The lumber workers fought
herOically, not only in the lake
states and the west, but in the
south to establish organization.
Their fight is marked with blood
shed and murder on the part of
the operators. Against them
are checked the tragedy of Cen
tralia, of BOnalusa, of Everett.
But though the unions of the
day could not cope with such
bloody tactics of the bosses, the
onward march of the lumber
workers to build II union of their
own which would he dedicated
to Il struggle for their interests
was not halted.
The bitter fights wrested from
the operators the eight hour
day, the abolition of blanket
packing, and of the muZZle load
ing hunks, bcttered sanitary con-
ditiOnS and increased the pay.
Such concessions were won
through militant struggle and
sacrifice on the part of the work
ers now dead. or buried in capi-
talists' prisons.
Declne OF Union in Lumber
Industry
The International i'm b err
workers Union had had its orr
gin as craft union, yet had been
forced by the nature of the lum-
Der industry to assume the as
poets of an industrial union.
Thus handicapped, 1t was only
because of most militant pres
sure on the part of the rank and
file that the leadership strug-
gled at all JurisdicitiOnal diff
culties arose among the leader
ship which resulted in the adj
option of various policies of class
collaboration, and the union dis
integrated in 1923.
