Broun's Appeal
Admission Of the
Guild Weakness

Chicago (ILNS).-The appeal of
Haywood Broun, international presi-
dent Of the American Newspaper
Guild, to the stockholders Of the
Hearst organization to bring pressure
to bear on their Chicago managers is
regarded locally as show Of weak
ness rather than Of strength.
Mr.. Broun, a columnist on a New
York daily newspaper joined forces
with w. z. Foster and Earl Browden
to inaugurate the zone big union" idea
in the already strongly unionized
daily newspaper industry.
Mr.. Broun had met with some sue
cess in New York City, to which place
w. u. Foster ard the entire national
Communist organization had fled after
about five years of fruitless effort to
gain firm foundation in Chicago.
The Communist machine left Chi
cago in debt after being threatened
with dispossession of the typesetting
and other printing machinery in five
story building on West Washington
Street, Chicago. The Reds have been
more successful in getting the money
in New York City. Chicago never has
been continuously profitable spot
from which to operate the "wobbly"
idea.
Haywood Broun, prompted, aided
and abetted by the national Communist
headquarters, tried to stage a men,
bership raid on the Chicago printing
trades unions with the view of advanc-
ing the "wobbly" idea of zone big
union" in the newspaper industry.
Broun, new to the American labor
movement, thought the idea good one
and went at it with vigor. AS the head
Of pretentious international Union,
Broun should have known better than
to make his major effort in Chicago.
But Broun underestimated the or
ganizational strength and fighting
ability of the Chicago printing trades
unions and the unpopularity of the
"wobbly" idea with the general public
in Chicago.
Following an alleged strike of his
% dues-paying members out of more
than 5000 employees on the Hearst
Chicago daily newspapers, Broun,
finding that he had not advanced an
inch after IA months of effort, runs
crying to the Hearst stockholders.
Broun and his colleagues have made
every effort to ruin the Hearst Chicago
property and the A. F. of l.. unions
employed on that property. Failing
in his design, Broun now turns to the
stockholders for sympathy and help,
and it is safe to predict that he won't
get what he seeks.

Buying of Union-Made
Manifold Books Urqed

Oakland, Calf. (AFLWNS).-
appeal to members of organized labor
throughout the nation to aid mani
fold book firm which had signed 100
per cent union contract with a unit
of the International Printing Press
mems and Assistants Union of North
America, an affiliate Of the American
Federation of Labor.
The appeal was issued by Manifold
Book Workers Union No. 439, an affili-
ate of the International Printing
Pressmen, by Frank Moran, business
representative of the pressmen in be-
half Of the Sunset Mckee Sales Book
Company of Oakland, California.
"Every member of organized labor
can. help this firm, which is playing
fair with labor, by looking at sales
slips they get with purchases from
merchants and other sources and see
if they bear the name of Sunset-Mc-
Kee in the lower left hand corner"
Moran said.
"Sales people who use manifold
books regularly can be very helpful
by urging their employers, or at least
automatically suggesting to them, to
buy their sales books from this 100
per cent union firm.
'"To organized labor and it's friends
who believe in the American way, the
way of collective bargaining, we now
present an opportunity to assist our
branch of the labor movement. Com
petitors of this firm, operating on
national basis, are unfair, and we
therefore appeal to all members of or
ganized labor to play ball with some
one who plays ball with us.
"By so doing you will help the peo-
pie of this industry to retain their
improved conditions, and perhaps
bring about improved conditions for
other members in the industry.
"The firm manufactures all types
Of manifold sales books, and any in
quiries will be gladly received by

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

1t has been said that the fin
gernails reflect diseases that af-
feet the body as a whole. There
are diseases that specifically
concern the nails themselves.
One of the most extraordinary
conditions is enlargement of the
nail which may affect one or
more nails at the same time,
usually of the toes rather than
of the fingers. Under such cir
cumstances the nail becomes
overgrown, thickened, and green
ish in color.
It becomes so hard it cannot
be easily cut, and finally gets
bent over and curved. This con-
dition usually affects quite old
people who are kept in bed be-
cause of disease or weakness.
Occasionally. however, it will
affect the young.
There is not much that can
be done about this condition eX-
cept TO soften the hardening nail
by soaking it in oil or in poul-
tees. and then pairing the nail
down.
Many people become concerned
about the white lines that run
across the nail which are indi-
cation usually that something
has interfered temporarily with
the growth OF the nail. Il takes
from five to six months for one
of these white lines to pass from
the bottom of the nail to the tip.
BY the position of the line at
the time when II is first seen.
the doctor can calculate when
the patient had something that
interfered with the growth Of
the nails. For instance, in Sc
we're disease like influenza, pneu-
monia or anemia, there may be
great interference wit h I h g
growth of the nail, lessening its
vitality and producing such
white line
Lines forming lengthWise on
the nails are usually associated
with rheumatic conditions or
with infections of the body or
with nervous disorders or with
some disturbances Of the glands.
Another queer disturbance of
the nail is the development OF
the concave rather than a con-
veX nail. These are sometimes
called spoon nails II has been
found that in some cases this
is a family disease and will oc-
cur in several generations Of the
same family.
