They will con- tinue in suspension until the Miners and operators negotiators, who have been in session almost daily since March IA, reach an agreement on a new contract.
 President John L. Lewis and the other union representatives were re- ported ready to renew the old wage hour scales for two years if the operators would agree to a close shop or elimination of local contract provisions penalizing wildcat" strikers.

close their razors before setting them
down. And mothers - everyone, for
that matter - ought to develop the
same habit with safety pins, he says.
Indeed, if mothers were well enough
informed and careful enough, he tells
them, there would be little need for
using his bronchoscope to remove for
eign objects from the air and food
passages of children. Children, he
warns, are initiative animals. They
put things in their mouths because
they see Mother, or some other adult,
doing it. For instance, many a little
girl has come into his clinic with a

Mother do. And not a few mothers, for
that matter, have met the same un-
lucky fate.
Most of the objects which he has
removed from food and air passages
are in a collection in the College of
Physicians of Philadelphia, and he has
photographs of all of them. 1t is a
startling collection. The biggest clas-
sifcations are: safety pins, pins and
needles, hardware, jewelry, coins and
other disks, toys, bones, seeds, shells
and nuts. These, he warns mothers.

are the things to watch out for. If
small children were never given toys

for instance, the need for broncho-

reduced. One of the biggest of his

HE SAVED 1000 LIVES

For fifteen years he went on piling
up the evidence. Then the American
Medical Association authorized him
to form a committee and push cam
paign for lye legislation. He organized
workers and sent his exhibits to every
state in the Union. BY the end of five
more years, twenty-four states had
passed laws requiring poison label on
lye. In 1925 he turned to Washington.
pressing for federal law. For two
more years he pushed the fight, max
ing countless trips to Washington,
appearing before committees, con-
ferring with Senators and Representa-
tives. At last, in 1927, the law was
passed. The pen with which President
Coolidge signed it reposes in his collec-
ton of medals - and he cherishes it
above any of them.
In the last fifteen or twenty years,
many new preparations containing lye
- mostly drainpipe cleaners - have
come on the market, and the amount
of lye sold has increased tremendously.
But the number of children who come
to the hospitals and clinics with lye
structures is very small compared to
what it was forty years ago, when
DR.. Jackson started, singlehanded, his
campaign.
But there are still too many to suit
DR.. Jackson. As long as there are any,
it will be too many. The fight has been
won in the halls of the lawmakers but
not in the kitchens of the mothers, and
DR.. Jackson spends much of his time
now speaking and showing his ex-
hibits to women's clubs; spreading the
gospel of caution to mothers in every
way that he can.
That is only part of the many sided
campaign to which he has dedicated
the rest of his life, however. There is,
for instance, the matter of pins, about
which no legislation can be helpful.
Removing anything from bronchial
passage through a bronchoscope -
say. a closed safety pin - requires
great skill and deftness Removing an
open safety pin is an incalculably more
hazardous job. Almost always the pin
lodges with its point upward. To grasp

it with the forceps and simply pull
would usually be disastrous. resulting
in fatal puncture. Through years of
careful, patient work, and the develop
ment of instruments to meet every
imaginable contingency, DR.. Jackson
has established ways to cope with such
a situation. Sometimes the point can
be bent over. Sometimes it can be cut
Sometimes it can be sheathed. But
whatever the technique, the danger is
much greater than if the pin we're
closed.
"And in not ten per cent of the cases
of children coming to our clinics with
safety pins in their passages" DR..

pleases him more to remember the
tribute of little child, one of the first
on whom he operated with the esoph-
agoscope.
She had swallowed some household
lye. Children were always doing that,
and usually they died of thirst and
hunger because the resulting structure
of the esophagus made it impossible
for them to swallow. This child was
almost dying of thirst; for days, every
time she had tried to drink, the water
had just rolled out of her mouth.
DR.. Jackson, with his newly-perfected
instrument, found small obstruction
that could be removed, making pas
sage. The little girl took drink of
water without much belief or hope: so
many times she had tried to drink.
only to be cruelty tantalized. But this
time it trickled down her parched
throat
She was a charity case, but DR..
Jackson treasures more than any fee
he ever received, more than any honor
ever paid him, the look in her eyes as
that blessed water went down, and the
touch of her lips as she gratefully
kissed his hand.
Yes, the memory of things like that
is good. But the memory of the suffer-
ing has always remained strong in
Chevalier Jackson's mind, too. Such
unnecessary, such useless suffering.
And that is why, back in the early
years of this century, he began long
uphill fight to get lye labeled as a
poison. He pleaded with manufac-
turers, tried to work on the humani-
tartan instincts of politicians. They
were all polite but apathetic. Nothing
happened.
Through the years children kept
coming to him, hundreds of them,
their throats CONSTRUCTED, crying for
water, dying of hunger. He saved the
lives of most of them - those who had
not drifted too near the verge of death
before being sent to him. And as he
saved their lives he carefully compiled
clinical data, photographs, pathetic
and grisly exhibits to bolster his argu-
ments, to save lives in years to come.

small child peanuts, he says. seem
to forget that peanut candy is just as
unsafe: the candy itself is dissolved,
leaving the peanuts in the chlldS
mouth. Then the child must either spit
them out, swallow them whole or
choke on them and inhale them into
the air passages.
All in all, DR.. Jackson concludes
from careful study of his data COM
piled over the years that eighty-seven
per cent of the foreign-object cases
that he has handled were the result OF
carelessness. And therefore he goes on
lecturing, writing, teaching. trying to
cut them down. The less use to which
his bronchoscope has to be put as the
years 20 on, the better he will like 1t. =
He battles, too, against other sorts
of preventable suffering that come
within his field. In his lifetime, he
points out, preventive medicine has
made almost unbelievable progress. In
his own field, however, prevention
measures are mostly dependent on
how people live. act and take care OF
themselves; and that is what he i'm
presses on all whom he can reach.
Since his retirement from active prac-
tice, for instance. he has made speeches
in almost every big city in the country
and in many smaller ones, warning
Americans that in everyday life they
are constantly inviting work for throat
specialists by abusing their voices. AS
tangible illustration he keeps on his
desk an unattached telephone set that
he often takes with him when he is
going to make speech, to demon
strate that it is not necessary to shout
into the mouthpiece if the telephone is
held so that the voice goes directly
into it.
Talking too much and too loudly,
putting pins and nails in the mouth.
leaving safety pins open. being care
less about toys and drain cleaners -
these are formidable enemies against
which to campaign. all the more
formidable because they are so casually
and unthinkingly done. An ordinary
man might believe it was absolutely
impossible to stop them. But
Chevalier Jackson has never been will
ing to accept that easy answer - par
ticularly when there is suffering to be
conquered.
