BY LOGAN CLENDENING. M. D.
DURING the past few years
there has been the most extensive
and persistent migration of white
people in the history Of the United
States. Most of this migration has
been from the central southern
states to California. The causes of
tnls migration have been drought,
hood, crop failures and resulting
economic crisis.
The result has been that Cali
,ornla has over 100000 extra popu-
latlon, people who are not self-sup-
porting, who are not housed and
VINO have no way of getting food,
except by manual labor on the
lsrms. There is a definite need for
seasonal agricultural labor in Cali
iOrnla, so there is at certain times

of Public Health have been educa-
ting them and furnishing them with
food Of wide variety and teaching
the cooks how to prepare it.
Hygiene Unknown
Personal. hygiene was almost I'M
known in this group. Toothbrushes
were curiosity. They would enter
the state in motor cars and pitch
camps along the back roads, living
in tents, packing cases and tin can
shelters. The Farm Security ad-
minstration, a few years ago, began
a camp building program and now
there are seven of these camps.
They have wooden platforms on
which to pitch tents, water-hushed
toilets, clean water supplies and
facilities to dispose of garbage. In
one camp, to my knowledge, 800
people were accommodated, most Of
them for the first time in their lives
having chance to take a shower
bath.
When they get sick, the state
furnishes hospital accommodations,
and a field motor ambulance,
equipped with x-ray apparatus,
makes rounds for routine examina-
ton among the camps.
Cases of smallpox and typhoid
have been imported by this group,
but on the whole, strangely enough,
communicable diseases have not
been a real problem.
California deserves the praise
and thanks of all the other states
for the intelligent and construc-
tive way in which it has met this
problem.

Federtion of Labor for S29,2l2.72,
allegedly turned over to the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization by
the Aluminium Workers Union, No.

ion of the A. F. of L.
What we are trying to do" eX-
planned Arthur E. Rayman, A. F. of L.
attorney, lis to establish the princi-
pie that Federal unions can't go over
to the c. l. O. and take their treas
uries with them"
He said the theory of the Fedora
tins case was that unions of this
particular type are subject to the
A. F. of LIS Executive Council and
have no right to ALLEVIATE their funds
Suit to regain the funds first was
filed in Pittsburgh in March, 1887,
Mr.. Rayman declared, but it later
was discovered that the Aluminium
workers Union, which was the de-
fendant there. had transferred the
money to the c. l. O., necessitating
moving the scene of the litigation to
Washington, where c. 1. o. headquar-
ters is located. The current suit,
which was filed late yesterday, was
directed against John L. Lewis, c. 1.
o. chairman, and Charles P. Howard,
secretary.
Similar Suit Pending.
The attorney said a similar suit
now is pending against the Battery
| Workers Union in Philadelphia and
probably will be called for trial about
April 26.
These are the only two existing
| cases in which such suits can be in
stituted, he asserted. The name of
Charlton Ogburn. long identified with
the A. F. of L., also was signed to
the suit as counsel.
According to the bill of complaint,
the Aluminium Workers Union. COM
posed of employees of the Aluminium
Co. of America, was chartered by the
A. F. of L. August l, 1888, and sus-
| pended May %, 1887, for payment
of dues, when its charter also was
| revoked.
Injunction Also Asked.
In March. 1886. the court was told,
| 1t transferred its funds to the c. l. O.,
intending Ito place said amount in
trust or in custody of the c. l. O. for
use and benefit of said union"
The suit pointed out that Federal
unions are different from national
and international unions in that they
are under the direct control of the
| A. F. of L., and upon dissolution
their funds devolve to the parent
| body as trust to be continued until
| reorganization of the union.
Stating that the transfer of the
| funds to the C. I. O. was contrary to
| the A. F. of L. constitution. the latter
| contended the c. I. o. acquired no
| right, title or interest in the money
ana accepted it with full knowledge
of the situation.
Payment of the funds to the A. F.
| of L., to be held in trust until re-
| organization of the Aluminium Work
ers' Union, and an injunction to pre-
| vent the c. I, O. interfering with the
| trust were asked.
