Enqldnd Provides
Air-Ruid Shelters
FdnilY Refugees Made of
Steel Sheet Distributed
Free for Protection

The seriousness Of the belief in
Great Britain that the people are in
grave danger Of being bombed by air
raids mechanical by the totalitarian
relationships that menace Europe is
indicated in the broad program under
elaboration by the British government
to provide adequate protection against
these high powered explosives shot
down on helpless population from the
sky.
In an article describing the program
of the government to provide AFRAID
protection shelters free to each house
hold whose incomes is around five
pounds week, the London Daily
Herald says:
distribution of free afraid shell
ters to all householders in specially
dangerous areas who cannot afford to
pay for them is to begin before the
end of the month.
Government Explains Plan
"a circular letter from the Home
Office has been sent to the local au-
thorities of the danger areas setting
out how the shelters are to be distri-
buted, and on what basis householder
is to be considered eligible for a free
shelter.
Roughly, anyone whose income
does not exceed f5 a week, or who is
compulsory insured under the National
Health Insurance Act is to have a
free shelter, and the Local Authority
is to help him put it up.
Number of children is to be taken
into account, 81 a week being added
to the income limit for each child in
excess of two"
After enumerating the various dis
tricts to be provided with shelters at
once, the Daily Herald article contin-
ueS:
Made of Steel Sheet
Manufacture of the special galva-
nlzed steel sheet shelters recommend
ed has already begun, and the circular
says that the supply of the shelters
will come forward at rapidly in
creasing rate, beginning in the third
week of this month.
Arrangements have been made
with the railway companies for the
delivery of the shelters direct to the
householder
"The local authorities are directed
to send an estimate of the numbers
of shelters required in their area,
based on information they already
possess, within a week.
"Lists of names and addresses are
to be collected as soon after that as
possible, and the circular gives au-
thority for the employment of people
supplied by the Employment Ex-
changes for the preparation of these
lists.
"The circular explains that although
the shelters are designed with chan
nels, so that they can stand on the
ground if necessary, they are intend
ed to be partly sunk, the excavated
earth being used to provide extra COW
er.
Erection Supervised by Local Officials
"For the present, the householder is
to have the option Of storing the shell
ter unerrected, erecting it, or sinking
it.
"Siting of the shelter, whichever al
tentative the householder selects, is to
be done by the local authority.
because Of the danger of disturb
ing gas or electric mains or drains if
excavation is done without supervis-
ion, the local authority is charged
with the duty Of seeing that their Of
ficials supervise the work.

On Capitol Hill
BY GEORGE l.. KNAPP

Washington, d. C. QLNS).-The
Apex case, like the old Danbury Hat
tcrs case, shows that while the Sher-
man antitrust law is Of little use in
curbing a corporation, it is very po-
tent in Fostering a labor union. 1t
seems well to give very brief sketch
Of this earlier tussel.
The hat makers of Danbury, Conn.,,
were sued in. 1908, by d. f. Loewe &
Co., hat manufacturing company of
the town. They were sued for dam
ages due to a boycott, for which the
members Of the union were held re-
sponsible, under Sec. 7 of the Sher-
man act which provides:
"Any person who shall be injured
in his business or his property by any
other person or combination by any
thing forbidden or declared to be m-
lawful by this act, may sue therefor
in any Circuit Court of Appeals of the
United States and shall recover
threefold the damages by him sustain
ed, including a reasonable attorney
| fee"
X X x
The proceedings fill five volumes in
the A. F. of l.. library, and only the
barest sketch can be given. First de-
fense was that the union was not re-
sponsible under the act. By 1908, they
had got it to the Supreme Court of
the nation, which held the union re-
sponsible under the act. Savings and
homes of about $50 hatters of Dan
bury were attached, but the fight went
on. In 1910, the judge instructed the
jury to find damages Of STA ,00O, and
three times that sum is 1922, ,0O0. This
was reversed on error; and in 1912
was raised to $4,000. The Supreme
Court ruled again January 5, 1915, the
same way.
The A. F. of l.. had backed the hat
ters to the limit, and did now. An ap-
peal was sent out to union men to
give one hour of their pay. The bill
of $214,911.20 was settled by this
union subscription-on August %
1917.
| Action ana reaction between Con-
gress and the Supreme Court is not
only Of vast Importance, but sometimes
very revealing. Shortly after the court
declared that states have a right tc
collect income taxes from the salaries
of Federal officials, Senator Andrews
Of Florida rose and asked that the
opinion of the court, written by Mr.
Justice Stone, the concurring opinion
written by Mr.. Justice Frankfurte1
and the dissent by Mr.. Justice Butler
be made Senate document. Senator
Minton of Indiana interrupted to say:
"Would the Senator object to hav-
ing included in the Senate document
the great case which preceded this
case? +. refer to the case in which
Mr.. Justice Stone rendered the opin-
ion holding that employees of the Port
Authority of New York were subject
to the income tax laid by the Federal
government? Particularly, | refer tc
the concurring opinion of Mr.. Justice
Black, who pointed out the realistic
basis upon which the doctrine of the
taxation of salaries must ultimately
rest"
| These two opinions bring under
state and Federal taxes a million sal
aries paid by public authority as large
as those paid by private business which
| have been taxed for many years.

19S9 May Set
 AA-Tirne Low
 Mortality Rate

Even the unparalled health record made in 1888 by the mile lions of Industrial policy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company may yet be excelled in 1ese, according to the statiSticians of the c0Inphny. They point out that for the first nine months of this year. despite mortality set- backs, encountered during more than half of that time. the death rate was only . fraction of one per cent higher than for the same period of the banner health year of 1888. At the end of May, the cumulative death rate this year was 3.5 per cent higher than that for the corresponding period of 1898, but. owing largely to the excellent health enjoyed by the insured wage-earners during the summer months, this excess was, by the end of September, reduced to al bare seven tenths of one per cent.
 Some Exceptions
 With the exception of diseasex important in the late middle ans older ages, the mortality expef,- ence was so favorable that In maily cases new all-time low death raCes for the nine months period were established, while in others at least outstanding gains were made as compared with recent years. Among white policyholders, mor- tality from the communicable L,s- eases of childhood, as q group whooping cough. diphtheria, scar let fever, and measles --- touched the lowest point on record for the January-September period. And of these, each, except whooping cough, made . new individual low mortality record, and whooping cough itself was only slightly above the minimum.
 The death rate from tuberculosis during the nine months period was lower by S.4 per cent than that registered a year ago. This accom- plishment continues the uninter- rupted decline In tuberculosis mor- tality that started in 1928. The death rate of 46 per 100, 900 policy holders was only about one half the rate that prevailed ten years ago.
 Low Death Rate
 Another all-time low death rate for the nine months period was established by pneumonia. "The continued decline in the number of deaths from this cause" the statisticians say. lis of especial interest at this time since 1t fol- lows so closely upon the applica- tton of the newer methods of pneumonia therapy. The increas- ing use of specific serum and of supfapyridine, either separately or combined, is clearly playing an im- portant part in saving lives of pneumonia patients.
 Other causes of death for which new low death rates for the January . September period were recorded are typhoid fever, diar- rhea and erteritis, appendicitis, chronic nephritis, and the puer- peral state.
 The suicide rates was down 6.5 per cent as compared with the 1888 rate for the first nine months, while the homicide figure remains at the minimum, or 4.3 per 100. 900. Automobile accidents, which ac- count 10 rabout one-third of all atal accidents, declined 4.7 per cent as compared with last year, while other tyves of fatal accidents declined 38 per cent.
 Increases in mortality rates were recorded for cancer, diabetes, and diseases of the heart and coron- ary arteries.
