COOP HOSPITAL
FOR milwaukee

Another cooperative hospital was
proposed last week when the Co.
operative Medical Committee of the
Federated Trades Council of Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, recommended
that the Council establish an institu-
ton of from rs to IS beds to serve
all without discrimination.
The committee had Investigated
the action of the Milwaukee Medical
Society in expelling the physicians
of the Milwaukee Medical Center
and the efforts of the society to ex-
clude these Center's physicians from
the Milwaukee hospitals. The com
mittee's study led it to the conclu-
sion that the action of the medical
society is contrary to good public
policy and is a~nti-social.n
The Milwaukee Medical Center
was organized in 1886 at the request
of the Employees Council of the
International Harvester Company. 1t
makes available complete medical
care on a periodic payment basis of
So per month for a family regardless
of size. Five doctors of the Center
were expelled from the Medical So
ciety for their activities in offering
their services. The five doctors were
all members of hospital stats but
due to pressure upon the hospitals
were removed from their positions
in all hospitals except one. It was
this action that led to the investiga-
ton by the labor committee.
Two weeks ago the only hospital
in Milwaukee open to the Center,
the Mount Sinai Hospital, notified
the physicians of the Center that
they could no longer practice in the
hospital. This action by Mount Sinai
Hospital followed a letter from the
Council on Medical Education and
Hospitals of the American Medical
Association which told the 140 bed
hospital that if the Center's doctors
were permitted to remain on the
staff of the hospital, it would recon-
mend to the Board of the American
Medical Association that the hospi-
tabs rating for interneships be taken
away. This removal from the staff
deprived the Medical Center, serving
more than 5000 people, of hospital
facilities.
The Federated Trades Council i'm
mediately took steps towards the
establishment of a Cooperative Hos
pital in Milwaukee. In this step they
are being advised by the Bureau of
Cooperative Medicine and the Asso-
citation of Medical Cooperatives.
1t is expected that both the AFL
and CLIO central labor bodies in Mil
waukee will ask that the Grand Jury
probe of the Department of Justice
be extended to include the Milwau-
kee situation. It was revealed that
the Department Of Justice has been
in touch with the situation and has
been supplied with the necessary
data.
Montana labor news., 1938-09-01

numerous cases coming before the
board, show that certain employers
whose names are held in high re-
spect in many quarters have resorted
to methods to stifle the organization
of their employees on which genuine
fascists would willingly stamp their
seal of approval.
The "open shop system is the
password of union-hating employers
with which they hope to break the
activity and energy of the organized
workers. Would they have been sue
cessful in this, the old slave-like con-
dition would have been re-estab-
lished and the members of organ
lied labor would have been defraud-
ed of what they have gained through
their agitation in many long years.
But within the ranks of the workers
organization developed intelligence,
courage and power which has assert
ed itself actively and courageously
in the hour of need. But let us not
be blinded by our successes nor be
intimidated by defeat. Indefatigably
with unshakable confidence in the
Justice of our cause we will continue
in u path to u ultimate aim.

Relations AT As
Guardian Of Democracy
By EDWIN S. SMITH
Member National Labor Relations
D>@-

Member National LABOR relations
Board
The title describes the National
Labor Relations Act as a guardian
of democracy" This, | trust, is not
rhetoric, but a simple statement of
sober truth. That democracy every
where is menaced becomes daily
more clear. That this danger to our
selves can be averted only by the
alert and wholehearted resistance of
those social groups whose stake in
democracy is greatest seems self
evident. No group since the modern
industrial system began has more
faithfully and fearlessly advocated
the widening and deepening of the
democratic process than the indus
trial workers. No class has so ex-
perienced the tragic helplessness of
the individual who unsupported by
the collective economic strength of
his fellows, faces alone the n
trenched economic power of the en-
ploying class.
Two Kinds of Democracy
In the United States we have in
dulged in much sentimentalizing
over individualism and freedom of
opportunity for economic self-im-
provmeent. The sentimentalizing
lies not in respect to the ideals for
which these expressions stand but
in terms of their application to the
realities of life for most of our popu-
lation. The tens of millions of I'LL
people who now, as in the past,
produce the goods by which we exist
are spending their physical and
mental energies not in a struggle for
the distractions of individual free
dom and unfettered economic oppor-
tunity but for attainment of the
bread of life itself. These millions,
despite u popular system of gov
eminent, have known little of the
blessings which democracy is sup
posed to bestow, but they have never
ceased to hope and strive for the
creation of a real democracy.
The democracy which the workers
are fighting to attain can only be
defined and realized in terms of col
lective action by themselves and for
themselves. AS individuals they
scarcely count in the economic and
political scheme. AS organized col
lective groups they ear aspire to
achieve a state of affairs in which
the individuals who compose these
groups can at last grow and flourish.
The kind of democracy which en-
braces the needs of the great masses
of the people is implicit in any genu-
inc INSTALLATION of the democratic
idea. However, this conception is
but family embodied in the utter
ances of many whose voices are
raised most loudly in democracy's
praise.
Vigilante Spirit
The last few years have seen in
most sections of the country an
alarming growth of the vigilante
spirit. Under its influence the en-
ployer decides that his economic in
terests are paramount and the law
is subordinate. So deciding, he
chooses to resort to force and bru-
tally to achieve the ends which he
seeks. The LaFollette Committee
hearings, as we'll as the records in

FEATHERY HUMOR

Il suppose when you have been
flying for a year or so it becomes
second nature?"
"Surest thing you know. Why, I'm
getting so that I often feel a craving
for worms and bird seed"
Evening star., 1938-10-28

You amt goin' to do nothin' OF
the kind" Aunt Jess replied. You're
eoin' to stay home here an make
maple sirup an let those there law
yers go an sell that apple orchard for
you"
"Ho!" declared Abel. Not SOS
you'd notice it. Me, allus wanted to
travel, an I allus wanted to see an
apple orchard without rocks in it, an
! hear tell there amt no rocks in
Washington State"
mo good will come of it," Aunt
Jessie, stated, confidently.
So Abel took his cash money and
bought himself a ticket for Wash
tngton State, and weak or so later
he was saying to Attorney William
Brown in Yakima, so this here Mr..
Breen will gimme $1,000 for that ap-
pie orchard heired. eh?"
Right on the line" Attorney Brown
affirmed. And you're lucky to get
such a good offer so soon"
Seems like Mr. Breen appears bit
too anxious" Abel remarked. II reckon
III keep the orchard while"
So Abel kept the orchard and went
to picking apples, for this was the
season. and he learned some mighty
interesting things about apples. among
them being that these apples he was
picking wouldn't be eaten for two solid
years. They'd go, he learned into cold
storage.
Well. the last of October came, and
the apples were all picked, and Abel
discovered it was going to cost him
$4,000 to have his orchard sprayed
and made ready for next years
crop, and that he was going to reap
only $1,000 for this seasons crop.
This reminded him of what Aunt Jess
had said about no good coming of this
venture, and he began to look for
buyer for his orchard.
He located Mr.. Breen, but Mr..
Breen had lost interest. So Abel went
up to the hotel and sat down in the
lobby and got to talking with man
who owned an orange ranch in Cali
fornia. Abel told this man that Or
anges weren't in it with apples, and
the man said, tch, tch, vice versa was
the case. So they traded. sight un-
seen, only Abel got enough cash to
boot to pay his car fare to California.
The orange grove was in the San
Fernando Valley, and Abel thought it
was fine, except three days after he
arrived a cold spell came on, and he
had to buy so much oil and hire so
many men to operate his smuoge pots
that he figured the crop wouldn't
yield him much profit, especially since
the cold spell threatened to hold on
all winter
So Abel went over the hills to Holly
wood and found himself seat in one

and deed to the sloop in exchange
for deed to the orange ranch.
So two days later Abel hired him.
self crew of two, provisioned the
sloop and set sail They went through
the canal and stopped at Panama City
and then went to Havana, and the
very night they arrived Abel visited a
gambling joint and lost his shirt. He
didn't have anything but the sloop, so
he visited one of the better hotels and
struck up an acquaintance with man
who owned a tobacco plantation in
Georgia and wanted to own sloop.
Abel managed to get deed to the
plantation and enough money to buy
himself steamship ticket to Savannah
in return for the sloop. -Four days later
he was in Savannah and went out to
look the tobacco plantation over, and
come to find out it was phony He
had traded the sloop for steamboat
ticket to Savannah and nothing more.
1t was lucky that Abel was a trader
by instinct. He went back to Savannah
and visited trailer camp on the out
skirts and got to talking with a man
who the year before had sold his home
and bought trailer and was now
trailing around the country, living here
and there. So Abel told this gentleman
about his farm in New England and
the pond with the fish in it and said
if the gentleman cared to give him
ride up there he'd let him park his
trailer beside the pond and fish in it
all summer.
So along about the middle of May
Abel landed back home, and the trail
er owners parked their trailer beside
the pond and were delighted with the
prospect of spending summer in such
splendid surroundings
Aunt Jessie was disguised. Il told
you," she reminded him smugly, that
no good would come O. you goin' out
West. And it amt"
Abel scratched his chin and looked
through the window at the parked
trailer Jess" he said, "mebbe you're
right. lost everything inherited, but
seen and done lot an had me a fine
time. An now. by jinks, got me an
idee. I'm goin' to start trailer park
near the pond, an I'll bet afore the
summers over we'll own us trailer an
it won't cost a cent, an then me an
you can 60 trailin' around the coun-
try like other folks"
Aun Jessie heaved a sigh, Abel"
she began, but Abel was hot-footing 1t
for the barn to find materials for
sign to advertise his trailer park, so
Aunt Jessie merely heaved another
sigh.
