NINE STRIKE
HELD INVALID

WALLACE, Idaho. Sept. IS CUP)
The Sunshine Mining company
largest producer of silver in the
world, contended today a strike
vote by members Of the Interna-
tional Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers last month was
invalid.
Defending itself at a National
Labor Relations board hearing on
charges of unfair labor practices
the company claimed ballots were
carried about in makeshift boxes
by men not authorized to judge the
election. Company attorneys con-
tended the ballots were transported
between Wallace and Kellog and
finally opened here two days after
the strike vote was taken, thus
supposedly invalidating them.
Government counsel argued that
the votes was not connected with
the complaint which charged the
company with refusing to bargain
with the employees affiliated with
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton.

California Opens
Campaign Against
Venereal Disease

SAN JOSE, Calf. Sept. Is. (U,R
-Califirnia's department of pub
lie health today opened a statewide
drive against venereal disease. Au-
thoritieS estimate there are 100000
cases in the state with but 10000
under treatment.
Operating in cooperation with
county agencies and with approval
of the state legislature, the de-
partment and its new bureau of
veneral disease will battle syphilis
and gonorrhea with a $150000 ap-
preparation.
Malcolm H. Merrill, chief of the
Bureau OF Venereal diseases, out
lined the campaign plan at a meet
ing of the league of California
municipalities at San Jose.
He estimated that between four
and six persons per 1000 population
in the state are constantly under
medical care for venereal disease;
that there is a case load in the
state of approximately 10000; that
there are approximately 10000 per-
sons infected with social diseases
who are not receiving medical at
tention.
A preliminary survey of the ex-
tent of venereal disease in the state,
conducted in MADEIRA, Fresno,
Stanislaus and Orange counties
showed there were 1412 cases under
treatment or observation in a popu-
lation of 375,000.
Seventy five per cent of the
states reported cases are under
observation of private physicians;
25 per cent are being treated by
clinics.
Accurate research work has been
hampered by lack of case reports
to the department of public health
by private physicians.
Evidence at hand" Merrill said,
indicates that less than 10 per
cent of the known cases have been
reported by physicians to health
departments"

TO SUE FOR PEACE
Editorial in Premier's Paper
Says Other Powers Will
Not Aid.
By the Associated Press.

MILAN, Dec. lin an editorial be-
lieved to have been written by Premier
Mussolini, his newspaper, II Popolo
d'Italia, contended today that China
can expect no help from other powers
acting collectively. and counseled
China, therefore, to ask Japan for
peace terms.
The editorial referred pointedly to
the recent tnconclusive Brussels con-
ference on the Far Eastern conflict
and to American participation after
President Roosevelt's Chicago speech
against aggressor nations.
If China still believes In any as
sistance Of collective character. the
newspaper said in part. this means
it is destined to suicide"
Informed persons saw in the sus-
gestion that China seek peace terms
. possible hint Of Mussolinis willing
ness to mediate the Far Eastern war.
Collective action having failed once
more, it remains only for China to de-
n1and Japans peace conditions. 3 u
Popolo said. 1.-THE conditions may not
be As severe As one might think. - =
"A little knowledge Of history,
geography and the forces in play are
sufficient to convince one that nothing
may be done against japan. What
can the United States, France OF
Great Britain do separately against
Japan, or together? Japan Is invul-
nerable."
