Murray Reports FavOrably on Federal
Aid to Provide More Adequate Health

Early this year the liberal senator Robert
F. Wagner of New York introduced a resolu-
ton authorizing an investigation Of national
health problems.
The resolution was referred to a committee
of education and labor of which our own
Senator James E. Murray is chairman. Wag-
ner mentioned upon the introduction OF the
resolution it's purposes, by saying, the
four major hazards to which the security OF
the average man is subject-sickness, I'M
EMPLOYMENT, old-age dependency, and acct
dents-sickness is the most common and the
most profound in its effect on the general
welfare" He further stated, "The problem,
it would appear, is not so much to increase
the sum total of the present national health
bill. as to achieve more effective results with
the existing total cost for the benefit Of all
groups of the population"
The resolution provides for the expansion
of federal aid to and cooperation with state
and local public health services and agencies.
Also to extend government aid to help people
who are unable to get proper medical treat
ment through being too poor. 1t also pro-
vides for the operation and investigation OF
health measures, and to assist institutions IN
giving better service.
The committee, heretofore referred to, OF
which MI. James E. Murray is chairman, re-
ported it favorably with a recommendation
that $50, 100000 be appropriated to carry on
the work. One of the outstanding needs OF
the United States is recognition by the Gov
eminent that the people must be protected
from disease and i'll health and that thou
sands of families in this country not only
now but before the depression started, were
unable to pay for adequate medical attention.
The entrance of the federal government
into this field marks an epic in the welfare
of the people. 1t is fortunate that Senator
Murray is on the committee, and was in the
position to make a favorable report. Suit
able legislation to carry out the purposes OF
the resolution will probably be introduced
in the next session.

Wins Relief Cash

James E. Wilson, Great Falls relief client,
won his suit against the Cascade County
Commissioners. Wilson sued the county
board for direct cash relief when they COM
mitted him to the county poor farm as an
INDECENT. The case, brought to the Supreme
Court, was settled in favor of Wilson on the
grounds that the present welfare act does
not give complete jurisdiction over the in
digent to the county commissioners, but sets
forth the amount of relief funds that the
state and county may pay.

The Business Agent
By DIR. CHARLES STEELE
Executive Director, Good Neighbor League

Bv DIR. CHARLIE STELZLE
Executive Director, Good Neghbor League
Because of the nature of p~resent-day in
dustry, collective bargaining has become a
necessity. This must be true at least SO lar
as general matters are concerned. Further
more. the employer may really consist OF
q hundred stockholders. 1t isn't often that a
single individual has five million dollars to
nut down for starting a business enterprise.
These stockholders elect a board OF dlrec-
tors. who, in turn, appoint a Superintendent
or Manager, which Individual is rarely a
stakeholder. It is his job to represent the
interests of the stockholders. T. s~tockhold-
ers have a perfect right to do this, SO has the
individual employer a right to have a man
ager represent his interests.
But the thousand w%orkingmen must have
the same privilege. They too, have the right
to combine. either as representing the force
employed IN a particular shop or factory, or
thew NAV organize all of the men in their
craft or industry in a particular city or sec
ton of the country, and appoint or elect a
man who will represent their interests IN the
matters which have to do with their general
welfare.
He then becomes their business agent or
walking delegate" He is expert on all mat
tiers pertaining to the craft, as they have TO
do with business relationships. He is the
spokesman Of those who have elected him.
His instructions come from them. He does
nothing excepting as it is approved by the
body of toilers who have placed him at their
head. He not only protects the men by his
wider knowledge of the state Of business, but
he protects those who might otherwise be
subjected to punishment because OF their
active interest in behalf Of their fellows, IN
the matter of securing better working con-
ditions.
When the Business Manager or Superin-
tendent representing the stockholders de-
clines to deal with the Business Agent repre-
senting the employees, he forgets that he,
himself, is simply a business agent or walk
ing delegate" and every argument which he
produces against dealing with the mems rep
resentative, comes back as a boomerang upon
himself.

Vet Estate Exempt

Property purchased with pension funds
paid to the family Of an incompetent veteran
of the United States, cannot be taxed for
state or city purposes, the Montana Supreme
Court ruled this week in a three to one de-
cision. The case came up from the district
court at Missoula where Virginia Henderson
was upheld in her contention that the prop
erty, purchased with veteran pensions, was
not subject to state or city tax.

when you see 'Sweethearts'

unusual prediction. He further
says "Sweethearts' will inspire
more marriages during its run
than all other romantic influ.
enceS combined.
II have statistics from Loew's
home office in New York to
prove all this. Twenty-Five years
ago when the stage production
of Victor Herbert's Sweet

performances were followed by
aValanches of business for the

that M-G-M has modernized
the story with the sparkling wit
Of Dorothy Parker, and added
new songs to the old favoriteS,

portance of English production
is the fact that the three larg-
est American companies have
already established branches
there.
Paramount has sent Adolph
Zukor to London to supervise
the making of pictures intended
for first run release here. while
Twentieth Century-FoX and
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer are ex-
panding their British produc-
ton. United Artists is allied
with Alexander Korda, and R.
K. o. has just made an Eng
lish connection for the release
of pictures made abroad.
DIFFICULT ACCENT
If may say so, the reason so
many English pictures have
been received indifferently on
these shores, Is the fact that
they frequently project a variety
of accents that are difficult Of
Interpretation and that the
punch idea of comedy is not yet
fashionable with the movie
masses.
I reply on no less an authority
than Bernard Shaw's "Pygma-
lion" in the assertion that Eng
lishmen have 40 ways Of speak
ing the language and you be-
come aware Of that nearly all
Of these accents have been en-
ployed by studio actors.
Drums I think, had at least
q dozen types Of Yorkshire pud-
ding speech.
REAL COMPETITION
However, the cheering note Is
that Hollywood is meeting some
real competition. It will act as
a Stimulant, may cause the big
companies to send more impor-
tant stars to England, and an
exchange Of talent.
Until recently almost every
passe star. or featured player,
who had lost popularity in
America found no difficulty in
getting q British contract. USu-
ally because they would work
for a lower figure than they
would accept in Hollywood.
So here's a toast to his majeS-
tvs screen craftsmen and a
hope they may do even better
in 1899.
