MEXICAN
SUPREME COURT
Backs Ruling Raising Oil
Workers Wages

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Ad-
ministration officials in Washington
have kept still in all known languages
about the oil decision of the Mexican
supreme court.
The Federal Labor Board of Mex
leo, called into action by petty
strike in the oil fields last April,
ruled in December, 1897, that II for
eign oil companies, mostly American
and British, should raise the wages
Of their $4,000 employees about one-
third. The companies Immediately
asked for an injunction. The supreme
court Of Mexico refused to grant this
by a vote of 4 to nothing, as Justice
Xavier Icaza excused himself from
taking part in the case because he
said he was preiudiced in favor Of
labor.
The companies include the Mexican
Eagle Co, subsidiary of the Royal
Dutch Shell; the Huestava, subsidiary
of Standard Oil Of New Jersey; the
Sinclair Pierce Oil Co, the Mexican
Sinclair Petroleum Corporation Of
| California, the Standard Oil Co. of
+, Mexico and its subsidiary, the Rich
mond Petroleum Co.
All the companies have declared
that they cannot pay the wages de-
manded.
Justice Icaza, though he would not
! take part in the case, said that there
foreign companies had much larger
! revenues than many Latin-American
] moyernments.

Medical Progress Of Last so
Years Has Meant Little For
Poor, Federal Report Says

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-A
special committee of the u. S. Public
Health Service-the technical commit
tee on medical care-has issued re-
port on our national carelessness of
health, which shows once more that
poverty is the deadliest of all diseases.
1t says, in part:
1T is cause for grave concern, and
for action, that the poor Of our large
cities experience SICKNESS AND
MORTALITY RATES TODAY AS
HIGH AS WERE THE GROSS
RATES OF FIFTY YEARS AGO.
''One- third and perhaps one-half Of
the population is too poor to afford
the full cost of adequate medical care
on any basis.
Public health must be brought to
the factory as well as to the home !"
What Might Be Done
To hear that all the medical prog
ress Of the last SO years means little
or nothing to the very poor of our
cities ought to be hook to the most
conservative of city fathers.
The report also tells what can
be done by right use Of the in
formation we have now and by
securing the proper distribution
of medical dental and nursing
services.
Each year $4,000 new cases of
syphilis go to doctors. More than
half a million more resort to self
medication or quack treatment
yet the diagnosis and treatment Of
syphilis are highly perfected, and ii
has been demonstrated that pro-
gram Of control could reduce this toll
more than 95 per cent.
Other Big Gains Possible
Besides this, national health pro-
gram can:
Reduce the deathrate of women ir
childbirth by half or more.
Cut down infant mortality rates il
the same proportion.
Cut down tuberculosis deaths by
half within few years. This is the
particular place where the report
wants public health to go to the fac
tory as well as the home.
Reduce greatly the present deaths
from pneumonia.

Supreme Court Upholds Picketing
To Organize Shop and NLRB
Ban on All the Company Unions

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) The
supreme court on February % decid-
ed three cases Of special interest to
labor.
The first Of these was a picketing
case. Federal District Judge Ferdi-
nand A. Geiger, of Milwaukee, grant
ed an injunction restraining the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen from picketing the
+. G. Simmer meat shops in Mil
waukee.
Geiger's Ruling Upset
Judge Geiger said that since none
Of the Amalgamated members were
working for Simmer, therefore, there
was no labor dispute" involved with
in the meaning Of the Norris-La-G Guar
dia act
In other words, if a firm can sue
ceed in bounding all union members
out of its employ, the federal courts
can come in and help the firm keep
things that way.
The Seventh circuit court affirmed
the injunction, and the workers came
to Washington. Justice Cardozo did
not take part because sick and Justice
Reed had not heard the arguments.
With these two left out, the court
| knocked out the injunction by 5 to 2.
Justices Butler and MeReynolds were
the dissenters.
The supreme court upheld the
NLRB in it's order to the Pennsyl-
vania Greyhound Lines and the Pa
cifc Greyhound Lines to withdraw
recognition from labor organizations
which the board had found to be
dominated by the company The Third
circuit court voided the order in the
Pennsy case and the Ninth circuit
court in the Pacific case. Justice
Stone read the decision Of the su-
preme court, sweeping the company
pleas aside. There were no dissents
The supreme court refused to con
slider the appeal of six Rapid Transit
workers in New York. The Trans.
port Workers Union won the elec.
ton, the union and company signed
a contract that all employees not mem
bers of the union should join within
| 30 days. These six sued to keep then
jobs without complying with the con
tract The state courts uniformly
held against them, and the supreme
court dismissed the appeal.
Longshoremen Lose Appeal

It is important to remember
the nails need plenty of lubri-
cation and stimulation. You
can apply oil, tissue cream, lano-

there is nothing so effective as
regular buf1ng.
We do not appreciate the i'm

is impractical to do much buffing

Some of the early products,

them brittle, with the result
of broken edges and ragged

alarm among the manufac-
