u. S. Study Brings Measures
For Control OF Occupational
Poisoning In Rayon Industry
Division of Labor Standards Makes Public Findings in
Inquiry Undertaken Two Years AgO-InstallatOn of
Improved Equipment Has Been Boon to Workers.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Thou-
sands of workers in the viscose rayon
industry are today better protected
against health hazards because of an
inquiry undertaken by the Division of
Labor Standards of the u. S. Depart
ment of Labor two years ago and now
made public in bulletin on "Occupa-
tional Poisoning in the Viscose Rayon
Industry"
"This study grew out of requests
from textile labor-union officials, who
had observed some of the end results
Of poisoning Of workers in the indus
try, and wanted to know whether the
symptoms they saw could be related
to conditions of employment" says
the bulletin. They saw workers who
had been sociable, friendly men and
women suddenly become moody, ir-
ritable, unable to get along with their
families. The victims suffered from
insomnia, from spasms which jerked
them out of bed, from endless bad
dreams. Some complained of crawl
ing sensations all over their skin.
Disorders of memory were frequent.
Uncomfortable fits of rage would al
ternate with abject penitence. They
had hallucinations and absurd delu-
sions.
Union Heads Ask Action
Union officials took the question up
with the U. S. Department of Labor.
Through the cooperation of state Ia
Dor departments, the study was made
by DR.. Alice Hamilton, internationally
known authority on industrial poison
ing, formerly of the Harvard Univer-

Prevention Found Possible

Viscose workers need not be ex-
posed to disulphide fumes. AS DR..
Hamilton shows in her report, pro-
tective measures are possible all along
the line of manufacture. Not long
after her study was launched mum
Der of plants installed improved ven
tilating systems, enclosed some of the
more dangerous operations, and pro-
vided for routine analyses to detect
contamination of the air that workers
must breathe.
Hydrogen sulphide fumes are an
other danger to discose workers. In
its mild forms, hydrogen sulphide
causes inflammation of the eyes. 1t
may also irritate the lungs. Large
quantities in the air have been known
to cause death.

sity Medical School, and now medical
consultant for the Division of Labor
Standards.
Carbon disulphide, DR.. Hamilton
discovered, was the cause of the in
sanity which suddenly came upon men
and women who worked at certain
operations in viscose rayon mills.
Carbon disulphide is used to dissolve
the wood pulp crumbs, and form the
cellulose solution which is finally spun
into rayon yarn. It's fumes smell like
rotting radishes. 1t attacks the nerve
cells and nerve trunks of the brain.
Neuritis is the commonest form of
carbon disulphide poisoning; insanity
the worst form. Carbon disulphide
also attacks the eyes and ears and
skin.

dict and resist.
Anti-Semitism is the appurten-
ance and watchword of all OBJ
scure, chaotic mass humanity and
present-day mass mysticism mixed
with much bestiality. It is not a
thought, nor a word; it has no
human voice, it is mere bawling.
But the spiritually minded man,
the man who takes himself Sc
verely to task, never participates
in bawling; he waits until this
ceases for a moment and into the
ensuing silence he speaks his mo"
This mo" is the expression of
a natural and necessary distinc-
ton of the spirit which has moth
ing to do with presumption and
which the spiritually minded man
does not renounce without dis
honor to himself or without thrust
ing life itself into misfortune. We,
in Germany, have experienced the
misery to which this leads. Ger
many's inteIIectuals, its scientists,
its authors and philosophers clam
bered down into the rabbIe for the
sake of an unfortunate and false
yearning for unity with the peO-
pie, confusing the people with the
ra bile. They have dishOnOred
themselves and deserve nothing
better than the Wretched role
which they now play under the
lash of the rabble. The mob is not
ennObled through this self-betray-
ing reinforcement of intellectualS;
it is only the opposite which Oc-
ours. The spirit is degraded and
gives itself up into slavery.
The aristocracy of the intellect
is a necessity, a far more justi-
fable necessity than the craving
for superiority which at present
is finding its expression, among
other things, in vulgar anti-Sem-
itism. Not unaptly someone des-
cribed fascism as the socialism of
the stupid. Well, vulgar anti-Sem-
itism is the aristocracy of the rab-
BILE. 1t can even be brought down
to a still more simple formula.
81 must admit that I am nothing"
it means to say, "but I am at
least not a Jew" Whereupon the
duffer believes that, therefore, he
is something. Anyone, however,
who is really anything at all does
not need so negative an advantage
to prop himself up.
1 hereby profess the profound

aversion that I have always felt
toward the anti-Semitic preSump-
ton. This has strengthened itself
into adherence in the same ratio
in which those base instincts that
formerly were confined by the cor
receive pressure of good custom
have taken the upper hand, have
in some places even become Off
ciaI and have come into a posi-
ton where they could, unrepressed,
turn their miserable Wish-dreamS
into deeds.
This is a revolving sight for
anyone who is aware of'what Ger
men Jews have done, both recep-
lively and productivity, for the
culture of their so-called Wirts-
land Gland where they have been
allowed to dwell as guests, but
which is as much their homeland
as it is that of any of their. non
Jewish compatriots. It is revolving
especially for the German men of
letters, who have personally ex-
perienced the assistance and ben
fit to their literary efforts rem
dered by the sympathetic under
standing of Jews. Jews are called
''The People of the Rock"-and
we must be aware of all the sensi-
tiveness, receptivity, spiritual ma
turity, knowledge of suffering and
love of the spiritual which is here
symbolically implied in the word
book in order properly to under
stand the debt of gratitude, which,
especially in Germany, the literary
spirit owes to Jews.
We must in all this consider not
only the fact that the Jews are
as great an historical factor in
the intellectual constitution of Eu-
rope as were the Greeks, which
consideration keeps men like my
self SO definitely removed from
any form of anti-Semitism. We
must further keep a lively sense
of the importance of the indis-
pensability, of the Jewish spirit
for the present and the future of
the continent. Speaking of Ger
mans, Goethe had had no other
destiny to fulfill than to break I'D
the Roman Empire and to create
and order a new world; they would
have been destroyed long ere this.
Inasmuch as they have survived,
and that with so much strength
and efficiency, they must, or so
1 believe, still have a great future
before them.
Something very similar is valid
in the case of the Jews, and indeed
there is so much that can be said
both of the Germans and the Jews.
The destiny of the Jews, their
task and their mission, these too
cannot yet be fulfilled. Their ex-

traordinary endurance is proof of
this. That they have not persisted
long ago, that they still ive-and
life has not been made easy for
them forces, or at least justi-
fies, one to believe, that life still
needs them, that they have been
saved, with their especial intel
lectual gifts, to be instrumental in
accomplishing life's purpose.
Personally, 1 have always felt
it to be a fantastic and astOnish-
ing thing that this people still
lives and has it's being among us,
this people tenaciOusly surviving
and representing the amalgama-
ton between the present and most
remote past, between EurOpeanism
and its origin in the Near East,
manifOldly interbred with those
autOchthOnOus elements but for
the greater part intelligent eyes of
former ages and with the know
ledge which is theirs by their suf-
fering, their spirituality and rea-
son. They form a secretly correc-
tive element against our passions.
Always, when anti-Semitism
breaks out, it means that the peo-
pie feel ill at ease, hampered in
their evil desires, that they are do
ing wrong, playing hooky from
school, are up to bloody tricks and
are eager to engage in warlike
massacres instead of doing such
things as are right, sensible and
necessary. Then the Jews have to
suffer. But they will suffer and
survive. And we may all be GER
tain that their strong sense of
this world, and of social Justice.
will play an important part in the
upbuilding of a new humanity
struggling slowly out of it's crises.

Culture Against
Barbarism
By THOMAS MANN
By THOMAS MANN

EDITORS NOTE: From the
pen of one of the worlds
outstanding literary figures
comes the following pithy,
profound analysis of that no
foriOus germleSs dis Sc
known as nti-Semitism. Mr..
Mann's article appears in
the current issue of the Con-
temporary Jewish r ecOrd
and is herewith reprinted by
special arrangement with
The Southern Jewish Week
".
Among the evil and obnoxious
reactions to suffering of our time,
among the sorry palliatives in
which this epoch INDUCES for its
own relief and for a mad explain
alton of its very wants and fears,
we find anti-Semitism the fav-
orite and the most popular, an
added reason, or so it would seem
to me, for the spiritually minded
to take definite stand against it,
to reject it most decisively.
The necessity for an epoch to
find someone responsible for its
Sufferings, its traditional wants
and its critical endorsements;
and, having found this scapegOat,
to send it into a desert of hatred
and defamation to make thereof
a nefariOus symbol of inferiOrity
SO that by contrast it may per-
haps feel somewhat stronger, bet
ter and even more genteel-this
necessity is human. But the word
'human" should not be made to
cover all weakness, folly or in
justice, for what is called human
is only too often a misnOmer for
such things as meanness and lack
of dignity, things one must call
by their right names and contra
