A GOOD STEP FORWARD

September issue of the "Motorman,
Conductor and Motor Coach Operator" "
official magazine of the Amalgamat-
ed Association of Street, Electric
Railway and Motor Coach Employees
of America, contains story which
has about half dozen morals, the
first of which is that unionism pays.
It deals with the protection of work
ers who are thrown out by mergers or
other changes over which they have
no control, and gives an example,
thus:
"This situation arose recently in
Bloomington, ILL., The Illinois Power
and Light Company announced that
the management of the street rail
way system was to be changed and
that bus service was to be substituted
for trolleys Realizing that this would
be a severe blow to the senior mem
bers Of Division 752 Of the Amalga-
mated Association, the officers Of this
division insisted that some provision
be made to pay displacement allow
ance to those members who would be
unable to qualify for bus work due
to age or disability. Some Of the men
on this. system have been employed
for as long as 80 years, and 26 Of
them have service records Of 20 years
OF more. Division 752 filed petition
with the Illinois commerce commission

Dec T. What Can Organized Labor
Do Toward Securing a Fair Wage ?"
Mr.. George DeNucci, president,
Columbus Federation of Labor.
Whenever possible, it is being ar
ranged for some representative of
organized labor to appear on the pro-
gram with the above speakers.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1936-10-30

requesting that when an employe with
20 years service becomes disabled or
cannot qualify, he be paid dismissal
allowance of 81 900 with an additional
$50 for each year beyond Is.
After extended negotiation the
retiring management agreed to accept
the demands of the union employees.
Veteran operators who fail to quail
ify for bus work will receive cash
sums up to s1,5o0; those who have
been in service 80 years or more or
who are 65 years or over will receive
the equivalent of 10 months pay"
Thus one more step is taken in the
direction of social security. Men who
work for wages should never be salts
fed until all industries recognize and
act on the doctrine that long term
worker has earned the right to be sup
ported, at least in considerable part
by the industry to which he has given
the best years and efforts of his life
The railroad unions have pretty
nearly written this doctrine into the
book of railroad management Now
comes the Amalgamated, and brings
at least one utility company into line
May the spreading of this gospe
speed.

THE HIGH LIFE COST
OF CANCER

Clarence G. Little, head of the
American Society for the Control of
Cancer, set the case for his organi-
zation before the American College
of Surgeons in a dramatic way.
"A flood in which 500 people die, .
said Dr. Little, "is a national catas-
trophe.
But when cancer kills 1000 per
sons year, the nation, up to now, ha;
merely shrugged its shoulders"
He added that half these people
could have been saved if they hac
gone to a doctor early enough. and sub
mitted to the necessary operation
Cancer is one Of the very few di
seases that is on the increase. On,
reason for this increase is clear; can
Ger is disease of middle or late
life, and more people live to middl,
or old age now than used to be tn,
case. But there are probably othel
factors, even if we cannot be sur,
just what they are; and Dr.. Little
advice is sound.
And remember this Every case o
cancer goes to the doctor, sooner 0.
later. The sooner it goes, the bettei
chance of recovery.

RED CROSS HIGHWAY
POSTS AID INJURED
1000 Function At Key Points To
Give Emergency Care To
Traffic Hurt

Highway first aid stations, set up by
the Red Cross to give emergency care
to victims Of traffic accidents. are sav.
ing lives, according to James L. FIeser,
vice chairman in charge of domestic
operations.
"More than 1000 of our emergency
posts are already operating in AZ states
and thousands of others will soon be
established at key points along Amer
ica's highways" Mr.. Fieser stated.
The Red Cross highway posts are
concentrated at danger spots in rural
areas where medical aid Is not readily
available The Importance OF this Gov
erage of the open road, the Red Cross
holds. is given sharper emphasis by
the fact that there has been a loo per
cent increase in rural traffic Fatalities
during the past twelve years.
The project was initiated last year
on a national scale as practical ap-
proach to the highway accident prob.
lem. The Red Cross felt that it could
best apply its strength by succoring
those who continue to be injured pend
ing reduction in the highway accident
rate through legislation and safety edu-
cation.
"Our program brings first aid skill
to the scene of accident In an effort to
| reduce the number of persons killed
| and manned in automobile mishaps,
| Mr.. Fieser said. "Our highway first aid
| ers are not medical men In any sense,
but it is their job to turn the injured
over to the medical profession in the
/ best shape possible
The Red Cross highway posts are es-
| tablished at gasoline service stations,
tourist homes. rural police and fire de-
partments. The personnel of the posts
are trained by the Red Cross in first
aid, standard first aid equipment is in
stalled at each station, and identifying
signs for the benefit Of motorists are
erected beside the highway at both ap
proaches to the station.
The attendants OF these roadside
units who qualify as first aiders volun
teer their services through the Ret
Cross and may under no circumstances
accept pay for caring for the injured
To complement the highway first air
stations, the Red Cross has announced
formation Of mobile units. Several thou
sand trucks which regularly ply tht
highway in the course Of routine worl
will be equipped with first aid kits
Drivers and crews will take courses IL
, both standard and advanced first aid
and each truck will be identified as
Red Cross mobile unit More than
hundred trucks are already operating
"The highway police Of eight states
who have finished first aid training vii
Join this army modified to cut acct

Fieser said.
I'VE receive reports from our frs
aid stations daily, telling Of essentia

spot and Of lives actually saved"
This and many other Red Cross Pre-
grams of equal value are supported b
the people of America during the ar

STATE COvTS. ARE ASSUMING
 RELIEF COSTS
Hopkins Tells Senators of Transfer of Burden
 from Nation

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-A dozen Democratic Senators were informed at private conference with Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief Admin istrator, last night that almost as many persons are on the dole or work relief as year ago.
 Relief population reached an all time peak of more than 20,000000 last January. Hopkins is reported to have said. and while there has been slight improvement the relief load is about the same now. About 100000 unemployable heads of families, however, are now sup ported by state and local govern ments rather than through Federal relief.
 The meeting was held in the of flee of Majority leader Senator Joseph T. Robinson who said that neither future relief appropria- tions nor legislation were discussed. but that the meeting took in the whole relief situation. Hopkins would not make any comment.

 SENDS LETTER
 TO POLICE HEAD
Executive Reiterates Belief Abduction Was Work of
 More than One Person
COL. SCnWARZKOPF
 SILENT ON ISSUE
Indication Whole Case May Be Thrown Open During
 Hauptmann Reprleve

TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 30.-
 Gov. Harold G. Hoffman of
 New Jersey virtually re-opened
 the investigation in the Lind
 bergh Kidnapping today in a
 letter to Col. H. Norman
 Schwarzkopf, Superintendent of
 the New Jersey State Police,
 who led the original inquiry
 after the small son of Col
 and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh
 was abducted on the evening
 of March 1, 1882.
 The Governor reiterated the often expressed view that he did not believe the Kidnapping was the work of one person alone.
 No Statement Yet
 No statement was forthcoming immediately from Col. Schwarzkopf who was the storm center in sev- eral flurries during the two-year investigation which led to the ar- rest and conviction of Bruno Haupt- mann for Kidnapping and murdering the Lindbergh baby, Charles Lind bergh, Jr.
 Gov. Hoffman granted Haupt- mann 30-day reprieve from the death sentence which called for his execution in the electric chair January IT. At that time he indi- cated that new developments led to the action. A probe has been car ried on, some of it based on the assertion of Dr. John F. "Jafsie' Condon in a magazine article that he was certain more than one man was involved. A message was sent Dr. Condon, who is on a cruise to the Canal Zone, to return and testify further, but to date the doctor has given no indication that he would so so, rather, saying he did not think it necessary.
 Condon Mentions Others
 In his latest article, Dr. Condon said that while he was conversing with the kidnaper on the telephone shortly after the Kidnapping, the person on the other end of the line spoke aside, apparently to an- other person, repeating the con- versation with Dr. Condon who was at the time acting as gO-betWeen.
 Feeling is running high here, and demands for impeachment of the Governor have been made editor ially by several newspapers.

DIMOND ADVISES CHAMBER ABOUT EDUCATION BILL
Increase in Grant for Voca- tional Work Proposed
 Under New Measure

Two vocational education bills now before Congress drew the at tenticn of the Chamber of Com merce at it's luncheon today noon in the Terminal Cafe. They are Sen ate Bill 2863 and House Resolution 8188, and were called to the atten- tion of the Chamber by Alaska Dele gate Anthony J. Dimond in a com munication in which he urged the Chambers support in endeavoring to have them enacted into law.
 Both tend to extend the present vocational education act The Sen ate measure would increase the grant by the Federal government from $15,000, as at present, to $40,- 900, and would require action by the Territorial Legislature. Under the present law the Federal govern ment provides S15,00O and the Ter ritory matches it, making $30,0OO for vocational work. Under the Senate proposal, if the Legislature took favorable action, the amounts would be S40000 from the govern ment and the same amount from the Territory.
 Straight Grant
 The House resolution calls for an outright grant of $3O,000 to the Territory from the Federal Treas ury for vocational education.
 A wire also was received from Delegate Dimond in which he ex- pressed surprise at the action of the Chamber in urging against elim- ination of fish traps. The Delegate said he felt the proposed legisla- ton would be clearly of benefit to the permanent residents of the Ter ritory.
 Three Chamber members, R. E. Robertson, Allen Shattuck and May or Isadore Goldstein, who have been Outside on trips, gave ac- counts of their journeys. The Mayor said business men whom he con- tacted in Seattle told him business was better for them in 1885 than in any year since 1880.
 Rail Tratfic Increase
 MT. Robertson noted great in crease in rail traffic since his last trip Outside two years ago. Trains everywhere, he said, were crowded to capacity and in many instances the companies were called upon to put on special trains to care for the increasing traffic. He interpreted it as good sign of returning pros perity. The former Chamber Pres ident further reported he found pronounced feeling in the States against radical agitation, particu- larly on the Pacific Coast in con- nection with the maritime trou- bles But, he said, the sentiment is similar throughout and Ameri- cans are rallying against the in- roads of foreign agitators.
 MT. Shattuck described an inter esting trip down the coast, telling of several points of interest.
