period in the nations history.
The Wagner labor law was bad enough lop-
sided enough, inequitable enough in itself; but its
administrators have gone beyond all precedent
in bias partisanship, vindictiveness turning TINS
piece of legislation into an unconscionable mon
stros;tv, inviting and invoking rebuffs against
NIRB rulings by the courts.
The labor board members were amazed, cha
rrined, dumbfounded, when Federal court de-
nounced its decree that an employer must reen'
gage workers who seized possession OF the plants.
Until this Ubiquitous, un-American piece Of legs'

rescinded, employers cannot feel comfortable.

This is a pathetic sri appalling condition Of
affairs. The Negro death rate for practically
all diseases is YaOstly brought about through
ignorance, poverty and lack Of proper medical
care.
Some far-seeing doctors, white and colored are
organizing Better Health Institute. Dr. Her

Health, with a nationwide reputation, is one of
the leading spirits in this undertaking. He is
q remarkable man, who writes for The Ladies

reduced the infant mortality rate in Chicago
from the highest to the lowest in any large Ameri
can city.
Strictly American
WHEN you consider, as have said in this
w column, that the Negro population Of the
United States is strictly American, their cause
Is surely worthy one. AS we all know, they
have one of the finest universities right here
in Washington. Harvard University also takes
colored youths and most of them pass with high
honors During the war they made marvellous

OTHER harassments include crushing taxation

profits are earned; the obligation and expense Of
compiling scores or hundreds or thouands Of tax

authorities; the overhanging threat, in various
fields, of subsidized Government competition; the
difficulty of inducing investors to supply capital
in the form of stock sales Gas distinct from addi

frequently existing between management and

many employers have been deeply wounded by the

Steels, motors, chemicals, build
