A LUNG IN TIME


An iron lung is a fairly
costly piece of equipment.
Prices vary, but it is said
that the average price of the
Not many individuals
could afford the price either.
But there's a way around
that obstruction. In many
cities, civic organizations and
service clubs have either
bought an iron lung outright
and presented it to the local
hospital, or have started a
community movement for
such a purchase.
Now the iron lung at your
hospital-if it has one-prob-
ably stands idle most of the
time. Usually it is just wait
ing. When fire escapes first
came into use, an old school
board member said to the
; principal who demanded one
for his building. "We don't
need one. We amt had a fire
in the schoolhouse for Is
years." One could dispute
the need for an iron lung in
about the same way, but no
one would-when the need
for one visited his neighbours
family-or his own.

Lord Nuffield, the million
aire British motorcar manu-
facturer, is reported to have
set aside a portion of his
huge factory at Cowley for
the manufacture of ''iron
lungs" Profit is no part of
his aim. In fact, his an
nounced purpose is to pre-
sent the machines to hospi-
tails without cost. He hopes
to make it possible for every
hospital in the British En-
pire to have at least one of
these strange but important
life-saving devices. Only a
small percentage of hospitals
now have them.
The first use of the iron
lung on a human being was
made in Boston in 1929. 1t
saved the life of a young col
lege man who was the victim
of infantile paralysis. The
exact number of lives saved
since then by its use is not
known, but it must be we'll
above 1000. The number of
lives lost during those ten
years because there was no
iron lung available where it
was needed is estimated to
be many times 1000.

and working conditions.
1t is interesting to note that, To-
cally, Labor Day has become the
day of expressing conflict be-
tween collective bargaining agen-
cies. Is it not disturbing to note
that the great class of laboring
men affiliated with the A. F. of
L. will not participate in the La
Dor Day program along with MEM
bers of collective bargaining a
gencies which are affiliated with
the C. I. o? Can Labor Day and
the program of Labor in general
achieve its desired end when there
is this conflict?
Since Labor Day has become a
day of propagandizing and pro-
motion of labor activities in col
lective bargaining agency pro-
grams, we would like to suggest
that Negro labor on a national
basis institute a program wherein
every working day of the week
is just another labor day, wherein
Negro labor as whole will par
ticipate in and indulge in a pro-
gram of selling collective bargain
ing ideas and promoting a spirit
which will demand complete par
ticipation in the program of labor
and collective bargaining in gen.
eral. Since every day for the Negro
is labor day let's make our labor
days real days of labor partici-
patton and collective bargaining
activity.

Letter To Editor


The formation of a civic and
political organization is being con-
templated by several Negro civic
and political minded persons.
Among these persons are Ardell
Robertson and Marshall Gray.
Mr.. Robertson, now of Seattle,
comes here with excellent refer
ences in this endeavor from Michi-
gan state and was well known
there in that states political and
civic life.
We recognize that if the local
Negroes are going to receive their
just recognition in politics that it
will be through the non partisan
field rather than the partisan and
that such obnoxious refusals to al
low Negroes to work on public pro-
jects because of their color must
and shall be eradicated from a
democracy.
We hereby welcome the support
of the public in this needful en-
deavor.
Signed: Marshall Gray.

LABOR DAY

Many years ago, Labor Day was
founded and established as a holi-
day or day of rest for presons
of the laboring class. Recently,
however, in keeping with the ra-
Their common tendency which has
invaded all of our social thinking
and acting, Labor Day has seen
fit to conform to the changes
which occur in our everyday life.
Since this Is true, Labor Day and
its meaning has taken on certain
definite changes.
Labor Day is no longer just an
ordinary holiday for members of
the laboring class. Labor Day has
become what one might call a
propaganda day. 1t is on this day
the first Monday in September of
each year that both labor and
capital engage in program of
propagandizing their contention re-
garding labor, wages, hours and
working conditions.
The Labor Day parade is no
longer a mere expression on the
part of thousands of laboring men,
wherein they might express their
thanks and joy for the chance
and the opportunity to work and
earn and maintain their families.
The Labor Day Parade now be-
comes more or less a wholesale
advertising scheme wherein labor
advertises to the world its demand

AS I SEE IT
By Ted Wood

She tried to get out from under
his spell but he laid it on thick
and she could offer no resistance
when he popped the question. And
so they were married tas if you
hadn't guessed it,. She began to
look at the world through roscoe
lored glasses and pitched into her
work with new vigor to make a
success of a marriage that others
said would not last long AS for
him-well he just waited around
foor a break to come. That break
came few days ago when his
old flame blazed into town looking
hotter than a pair of blacksmith's
tongs. When they met he put the
gander on her and went into a nose
dive. He tried to think of the Lit
tie woman" but this dame had him
as beat as rug at house clean
ing time. To make a long story
short, they were later seen doing
the town together, aided and abet-
ted by his maternal parent whose
strong arms of protection were
supposed to silence the lips Of

rendezvous. Everything was NOV
ing along according to Hoyle. The
beer was flowing freely, they had
picked up the threads of a torn
love affair, the nickelodeon was
beating out a slow drag, mama
was swinging with one of the
cats and the joint was jumpin'.
Nobody knows yet where "the lit
tie woman" came from. All they
know is that he looked up and
there she was. When the fur
stopped flying he decided to take
up his marbles and go home-but
in less than hour he was right
back therel Who said what fools
