B N POLLS

For a number of months the American Insti-
tute of Public Opinion has been taking so-called
polls of "the people of the United States" on
various questions in which the masses are vitality
interested.
Some of the polls" have indicated negative
convictions toward social welfare measures and
principles.
A doubt has been expressed as to whether the
persons included in the polls" accurately reflect
mass public opinion. This doubt is accumulated
by the result of the census which the Institute
has taken on Government Old Age Pensions
for Needy Persons"
Persons on the Institutes mailing list were
asked if they favored old age pensions. If so,
how much they believed should be paid monthly
to each single person how much monthly to a
husband and wife, and at what age the pension
should begin.
The poll reveals that so per cent of those
who voted favored old age pensions, with 90
years as the most popular eligibility age,
And then comes the rub. With respect to the
size Of the pension, DR.. George Gallup, spokes-
man for the Institute, declares "the largest
single number of voters" favored $50 per month
for one person and $50 for a husband and wife.
There isn't a city in the United States where
one person can buy food, clothing and shelter,
and the other necessities which consti ute even
the smallest decent living, for $50. Nor is there
any city in the United States where a husband
and wife can buy a similar decent living for $50
a month.
And yet, the American Institute Of Public
Opinion seriously informs us that it's "polP'
showed a preference for the $50 and $50 stand
ards.
Evidently the persons who are now required
to live on old age pensions or who will come I'M
der old age pensions in the future were not in
cluded in that section of the public which makes
up the Institutes voting list.

Well, Mr.. M%otorist, those figures merely repres-

into account the casualties, TEN TIMES AS

anguish and suffering that result from a few

troll our highways to suppress the wilful and

WORK REFUSAL BY JOBLESS

Every little while professional harpies, whose
opposition to relief of any sort for the victims
of unemployment is an obsession, jump into the
limelight of publicity with the charge that a
large number of the millions of out-of-works re-
fuse even the low-wage jobs provided by the
Works Progress Administration.
A scream of this sort recently featured in the
daily papers brought forth a strong denunciation
from Harry L. Hopkins, Works Progress Admin
~istrator, who declared the reports were sheer
fabrication. He said the brainstorms were quite
likely based on the fact that rs per cent of the
assignments of the unemployed from relief rolls
to WPA jobs do not result in placements. The
superficial conclusion, he added, is that the Is
per cent have refused to accept the jobs and that
their refusal results from their dissemination to
perform work in return for relief.
In spiking this nonsense, Mr.. Hopkins specifi-
cally stated that mot one worker in a hundred
has shown preference for relief rather than
work" adding:
Very few workers have deliberately refused
to accept WPA jobs.
"Men who fail to report to work projects be-
cause they have already secured private jobs, or
because they are i'll or disabled, or because they
fail to receive the notice, can scarcely be called
strikers"
Declaring that about three-fourths Of all
WPA job assignments result in placements on
works projects" Mr.. Hopkins stressed the point
that the remaining one-fourth are not "~refusals
of jobs"
He said the Social Research Division Of the
Works Progress Administration has thoroughly
investigated the charges of job refusal in many
communities. The studies revealed legitimate
reasons for the failure Of Is per cent Of the relief
roll unemployed to take WPA work.
An average of about 10 per cent were already
employed in private industry when they received
the WPA Job notice. In some cities this per-
centage was as high as Is per cent. It was
found, moreover, that a considerable number
were either i'll or had been enormously certified
as eligible for WPA employment despite the ex-
istence of serious physical handicaps, and that
others had become unemployable since their GER
LITIGATION.
The reasons, not involving unwillingness to
work, for failure to accept jobs included; In
ability to leave invalids or children at home
alone, excessive distance from home to project,
death, already employed on a WPA project, and
u~nfitness for the job assigned.
The recurrence of these unfounded charges
against the integrity of the 100000 working
men and women making up the relief roll jobless
may have a slight basis in the utterly erroneous
view that the unemployed never get sick them
selves, never have physical handicaps, are always
fitted to perform any sort of labor regardless of
the kind and amount of energy required, and
never have sickness in their families, or, if they
do, can let their sick dependents look after them
selves.
The truth is, of course, that jobless workers
are even more subject than employed workers to
all the hazards affecting the life and health of
Montana labor news., 1936-02-13

Sickness for it is "an affection Of
the body which deprives it temporarily
of its power to fulfill its usual func-
TONS" and therefor, one injured at
home cannot be compelled to pay for
his capitalization, MURRAY Hospital
v. Angivine, % Mont. 101- Matthews.)
When an injured or sick workman is
confined to a hospital, under such a
contract, the hospital owes to him the
care it gives to others in the institution
and that degree OF care which all hos
pitfalls are required to give to all their
patients, and when such a workman is
in such a state that he cannot look
after himself, that care must be pro-
portionate to his condition; if the hos
pital fails in this duty and the patient
suffers by reason of such failure, it is
liable to him for the damages he suf-
fers for lack of such care. (Maki v,
