My opinion is as good or as worthless as that of any other doctor-at least it is in my opinion, in reference to this particular question. From all can learn of the life and work and character of the great Louis Pas teur I believe if he could speak to- day he would condemn the anti rabies treatment that bears his name.
 If I were bitten by the maddest or most rabid dog alive I'd have only the immediate first aid care of the wound that good surgeon would give any such wound, and an immediate injection of tetanus antitoxin. A week or so later I'd want second dose of tetanus anit- toxin. That's all No Pasteur virus for me, thank you.

HOUSING LOANS CREATE
JOBS FOR JOBLESS

The tremendous force exercised by
Federal loans for housing in the miti-
cation of the unemployment tragedy
by creating work for the workless is
impressively revealed in the estimate
of the number of jobs that will result
from the provision in the $3,7C0, ,00O,
600 spending lending recovery bill
passed by Congress authorizing the
United States Housing Authority to
use an additional $30O,000,000 for self
liquidating loans to assist slum clear
ance and housing for low-income
groups. Last year Congress author
lied $5O0,O00,000 for this purpose.
According to an estimate prepared
by the American Federation of Labor,
which supported the new authoriza-
tion from its inception, the enlarged
housing program made possible by
the $3O0,O00,OO0 will provide "direct
employment at the site of the projects
for more than 100000 building trades
mechanics and laborers, as well as to
some 100000 workers employed in the
production of building materials and
their transportation" Full time en-
ployment for these hundreds of thous-
ands of jobless workers in the build
ing and allied industries will provide
an immense relief for the unemployed
in areas most deeply affected by lack
Of work.
In surveying the effect the new
housing program will have on business
generally, the Federation declares
1t will require about 00,000,00C
board feet of lumber, $3.50, ,OOO,O
bricks, 100000 barrels of cement, s.
100000 gallons Of paint, and 100000
tons of steel.
Added to these constructive results
in the fields of unemployment reliet
and business recovery the A. +. of l.
emphasizes the permanent socia
usefulness of the enlarged housing
program, "the primary purpose O
which is to provide wholesome, decen
housing for 100000 families-nearl,
100000 men, women and children
who now live in over-crowded, disease
ridden slums and fire-trap tenements.
Surely providing decent houses fo
this vast number Of persons in sun
areas and putting to work nearly
million of our jobless army totalin,
about II 100000 is a combination O
socially constructive features whic
will receive the unanimous commend
alton of all our citizens.

Relief Program
Finally Approved
Several Measures Of Inter-
est To Labor Enacted
By Legislature
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, O.-After nearly two
months Of wrangling in a third special
session, the Ohio General Assembly
last Saturday finally enacted pro-
gram designed to provide necessary
relief funds for the remainder OF 1898.
The impasse Of two weeks ago,
when the entire program appeared
near collapse, was ended when leaders
of the two branches of the Assembly
agreed to urge compromise to the
members, and the difficulties were
ironed out in session lasting until
q a. m. Saturday, with the House re-
convening at noon on that day to COM
plete acceptance of the program.
Utilities excise, admission and beer,
malt and wort taxes were extended
through 1941, with subdivisions au-
thorized to issue notes or bonds up
to 80 per cent of the anticipated rev.
enue. Subdivisions were also permit
ted to issue notes in anticipation of
collection Of delinquent taxes and rev.
enue from 1889 beer and liquor per-
The Legislators also approved meas
ures permitting subdivisions to issue
bonds outside the ten mill limitation
when the proceeds are to be used on
Federal work projects, and creating
an armory building authority of three
members with authority to issue
bonds for new armories to be con-
structed with Federal assistance.
Defeated in the House of Repre-
sentatives was measure authorizing
cities and counties to set up building
authorities with power to issue self
liquidating bonds for building con.
struction and public works projects.
Approved by both branches of the
General Assembly was measure ir
which an amendment had been insert
ed at the request Of Secretary-Treas
urer Thomas J. Donnelly of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor, establish
ing minimum wages and maximum
hours for state highway employees.
Under the provisions of the amend
ment, salary minimums have been SCI
at 500 per month for laborers; $11(
for truck drivers; $120 for workers re
ceiving 62h cents per hour, and $13!
for workers now receiving 65 to Y
cents per hour.
The maximum work week is set a
40 hours, and all highway employe'
who have been in the service for on
year or more comes under the month";,
pay provisions: The State Highwa!
Employees Union, AFL affiliate
actively supported the amendment.

HOL Helps Million
PdY for Residences
$4,000 Borrowers Who Are
Meeting Their Payments
Interest Rate SO

One of the outstanding demoraliz-
ing effects of the business depression
which began in 1929 was the continued
victimization of wage earners and
other persons of moderate means who
lost their homes by mortgage fore
closures. To mitigate this distress
the United States Congress in 1888 es-
tablished the Home Owners Loan Cor
poration with authority to make loans
on homes at more reasonable interest
rates and less onerous conditions than
were imposed by private lending con-
Germs.
In celebrating the fifth anniversary
of the establishment of the Hole,
Charles H. Jones, general manager,
made public certain figures which
strikingly reveal the protection which
the Government has given home own
ers. Over 100000 borrowers from
the HOLC are making satisfactory
payments, he said. In addition, about
100000 others are being added and
approximately 10000 borrowers have
paid their loans in full. A sum ag-
gregating $395,35S,705 has been paid
back by HOLC borrowers, this sum
representing 1876 per cent of the prin-
cipal Indebtedness.
! Pointing out that when the HOLC
entered the home mortgage field
American home seekers were baked in
their desire to completely own their
properties by being required to as
sumo not only one mortgage, but
usually two and sometimes three, and
that they usually paid off the second
and third mortgages, with heavy fees,
but renewed the first mortgage time
and time again, Mr.. Jones said the
Hole remedied this condition by
"popularizing the direct reduction
plan. 1t introduced a five per cent in
terest rate. 1t helped to abolish the
second mortgage. It's borrowers are
becoming home owners in the complete
sense. These modern contracts, all
favorable to the home seeker, have re-
newed the desire for home ownership
In the field of statistics, Mr.. Jones S
report revealed that the HOLC has en-
deavored to help approximately 1,OO0,-
900 families by home loans. Of these
about 100000 have either entirely paid
up their interest obligations or are
less than three months in arrears
About 13S,000 more are meeting all
current bills and are making regular
monthly payments on their arrears
About 100000 others still have q
chance to save their homes.
Due to payment failures, the HOLC
has been obliged to take over about
$4,000 homes, the average foreclosure
becoming effective only after borrow
ers are twenty months delinquent il
both principal and interest, with tax
es mounting to point where the cor
poration, in protection of bondholder!
: and taxpayers, is forced to act.

OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE

"The engineer must join hands with
the doctor to move on toward the solu-
tion of the health problem in indus
try" said Henry d. Sayer, manager
of the Casualty Department of the
Association of Casualty and Surety
Executives recently.
Mr.. Sayer spoke on "occupational
disease developments" and described
the complex problems which have
arisen in providing suitable and
equitable insurance coverage. He rec
commended the schedule method Of
legislation, whereby the law specifcal-
ly lists the diseases that are covered,
as against the vague, "all inclusive"
type of law which so often leads to
confusion and long litigation. The
schedule type of law, he added, makes
it easier for the engineer to show in
dustrial management the need for
eliminating health hazard-if the en-
gineer is able to show that certain
conditions in plant are likely to lead
to specifically named occupational
diseases, he will have more con-
vincing case than if he must try to
define all the health hazards which
might exist under an all-inclusive
law. a'"
Definite progress has been made in
the field of occupational disease leg
islation, but the problem is still long
way from complete solution. A sound
law must give the worker every pos
sible protection, in case he contracts
disease from his work. At the same
time, it must be sufficiently limited
SO that claims cannot be successfully
pushed for ailments which were not
the result of the work. Past expert
ence indicates that ambiguous, poorly
worded laws have often been construed
by courts to cover contingencies fal
broader than the legislature realized
or intended. Such laws as these defeat
their own purpose eventually, by fore
ing the cost Of occupational disease
coverage to excessively high levels.
Occupational disease is a problem
which requires the cooperation of en-
gineers, doctors, legislators, courts
management and workers. And th'
cause of worker protection is retarded
not advanced, by "crackpot" sug
gestions for tremendously elastic law
such as are periodically offered il
state legislatures.

Special Security Board and United
States Employment Service for con-
sideration and approval.
Prospective sites for location of the
local offices have been surveyed by
agents of the Commission in nearly
all parts of the state, but none can be
decided. upon until the expansion
plans have been approved.
A personnel of 1900 to 1900 will
be required to operate the offices
which will serve all SO counties of the
state. Counties sufficiently Industrial

ployed 20 weeks of So in covered en-
ployment during the previous year, for
an employer having three or more
employees any one day.
Eligibility established, the unem-
ployed worker must register at the
Ohio State Employment Service office
in his locality, file claim with the
Commissions deputy and serve a
three-week waiting period.
After three weeks, if no suitable
work is found, the workers compen-

On Capitol Hill
By GEORGE L. KNAPP

Washington D. c. QLNS).-Just
two weeks after Congress passed a
wage ara hour law increasing the pay
of perhaps 100000 workers the first
year, Harry L. Hopkins, carrying out
the oppressed wishes Of the President,
raised the wages of about 100000 un-
skilled workers on the WPA.
Do not think for moment that the
WPA raise overtops the wage-hour
raise. This is one place where count
ing noses doesn't work. The wage
hour bill, while almost no one is fully
satisfied with it, is one of the most
important measures passed in the last
five years. But the WPA raise adds
about S. a week to the buying pow
er of half million relief workers
NOW; and that is we'll worth while.
The WPA raise is distinctly South
ern. Starting with Virginia, it goes
down the coast to Florida and over
the Gulf to Texas; with Kentucky,
Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma
inland. Mr.. Hopkins says that the
new wages are still inadequate.
And in every anti-New Deal news
paper, this increase is played up as
being in some fashion or other linked
up with the coming primaries.
X X X
The New York Stock Exchange, ac-
cording to all dispatches the other day
believes that the chance of a big cor
poration demanding wage cut for its
men ought to make the stock market
boom.
A story got out, no one seems to
know how, that officials of the U. S
Steel Corporation had promised not
to ask cut in wages to balance the
cut in steel prices. Edward Stettin-
ius, chairman of the board Of U. S
Steel, denied this, saying: "No Official
of the United States Steel Corpora.
tion has given any assurances that
wage reductions will not follow the
steel price reductions"
And this announcement, as the
New York Times put it, brought
immediate recovery to falter-
ing market" Steel went up near
ly 81 share.
Apparently, the fellows on Wal
Street think that even possible
chance of wage cut is a sign of pros.
perity.
One paragraph in the report of the
National Mediation Board on the dis.
pute between the Maintenance of Wa,
Employees and the Chicago Great
Western Railroad Co. helps US to un.
derstand why strikes on railroads
have been almost unknown for II
years:
mediation was begun on January
26, 1888, and continued until February
19, 1888. Mediation was resumed OF
March a, 1888, and continuedi Unit
March 10, 1888. Further meditation
conferences were held on April 7, 16
2l, 23 and 25, 1888. Mediation wa
again resumed on June 13, 1888, an,
under date Of June ID, 1888, medi
alton agreement was signed by tn
representatives of the parties to tn
dispute and witnessed by the mediator
disposing of the question involved il
the invocation for the services of tn
board"
Patience and perseverance, it's dog
ged as does it, if at first you don
succeed, try, try again-the Nations
Mediation Board must have close
full of such mottoes-and the blame
