CALIFORNIA WORKERS
GET RIGHT TO SEE
MEDICAL RECORDS

SAN FRANCISCO (FP) For
the first time in California, the In
dustrial Accident Commission has
made available to injured workers the
medical records of their cases OBJ
tanned by employers or insurance
carriers.
Previous to this order, the records
have been available to the injured
workers only if they made claim
before the commission, and only after
hearings had started.
"This is one of the most important
procedural actions in the history of
the commission" said George g. Kid
well, it's chairman. 1t is definite end
of the policy that the medical report
are no business of the injured man.
at will eliminate the element of
surprise at hearings and the POSSIBLE
ity that man, injured years before
and relying on one current examina-
ton by a physician of his own choos-
ing, might be confronted suddenly
with the accumulated reports of in
surance carriers"

HOUSING SHORTAGE
REVEALED BY SURVEY

NEW YORK (FP) In the face
of probable heavy demands for hous-
ing in areas affected by Americas
armament program, many large cities
and centers of defense industries now
have only small supply of vacant
houses, the Twentieth Century Fund
said in a special report on defense
housing.
The figures indicate that in some
cities the supply of vacant houses, al
ready low last spring, may have now
diminished still more, the report said.
Preliminary data show as vacant
4.8 per cent of the nearly 100000
dwelling units in 357 American cities
of over $4,000 population. the report
said. While this level of vacancy is
but slightly below the generally ac-
cepted normal of per cent the data
reveal that in many of the most i'm
portant industrial areas vacancies
amount to but l per cent and 2 per
cent, indicating critical shortages.
The funds research staff, headed by
Miles L. Colean, recommends that
community needing additional hous-
ing as a result of expansion of de-
tense industry and sudden influs of
labor should take steps to measure
its own needs and resources.

The endorsement of Sam G. Ford for
governor, by the Montana Progressive
Council and various organized labor
bodies in the state, was also con-
Cured in by the Deer Lodge Assem-
bly,.
In endorsing Miss Rankin, her long
and outstanding work for labor and
for the unfortunate and her signal
services for peace were factors that
received consideration by the body
and brought her it's unanimous ap-
prevail.
The attention of the delegates was
directed to Miss Rankin's success in
securing fixed eight hour day for
the employees in the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing in Washington
when she was a member of Congress
and her subsequent accomplishment
in organizing the workers there into
a Federal Labor Union which is today
one of the largest, if not the largest
in membership of any labor union in
the country.
Her work with the Consumers
League, lobbying for the eight-hour
day, the minimum wage and child Ia
Dor amendment and her militantly de-
termined fight for the Butte miners
on the floor of Congress in 1918 were
also recalled. Enthusiasm for her, be-
cause of her contributions for peace
and for her courage in voting against
Americas entry into the World war,
was evident in the Assembly.
Miss Rankin is native of Montana,
the oldest of six children of pioneer
family. She is a graduate of the state
and while travelling extern
sively, has always maintained resi-
1ence in Montana and knows the prob
lens of the state and it's people in
Limately.

ROBBERY TO
GET HIGH COURT
SCRUTINY

WASHINGTON OPP - Supreme
court determination of the daylight
robbery" of the U. S. government by
the Bethlehem Steel Co. during the
last war was assured here as the court
granted the governments petition for
review.
The petition asks review of two
suits One was brought by the gov
eminent, in April 1925 to recover
profits already paid to Bethlehem.
The other was brought by Bethlehem
in January, 1926, to force payment
of $7,50O,OOO not yet paid by the gov
eminent
Lower courts held that the govern
ment could not collect profits already
paid and that the company was en-
titled to $5,27OOOO as profits due but
not paid.
In deciding against the government.
u. S. Federal Judge Dickinson called
the transaction daylight robbery"
and said that Bethlehem's conduct re-
minded him of Rob Roy 'who adj
mitted he was robber but proudly
lie was ~ lulCl
The circuit court, upholding Dick
inson in ruling against the govern
ment, described Bethlehem's attitude
as one "of commercial greed which
took advantage of the nations nee
essities to secure inordinate profits
According to the governments petit
ton to the supreme court Bethle |
hens shipbuilding facilities were the
largest in the world and its co-opera-
ton was indispensable to the prosecu-
ton of the war.
For this reason, said Solicitor Gen
eral Biddle, the government was
forced to accept Bethlehem's terms
which called for payment of the cost |
of the vessels plus a fixed profit of
1919 of the estimated cost plus
further bonus" equal to half of the |
amount by which the actual cost was
less than the estimated cost.
Bethlehem, the supreme court was |
told submitted inflated cost estimates
with the result tina tit would receive |
over $25,O0O,000 profit for doing work
which cost about $93,0OO,0OO without

Hall, kidding couple of truck
drivers and mattresses in beer tav-

take Britain within a week. In short
order he was clapped into the hoose-
cow, held incommunicado overnight,
fingerprinted, grilled, and fined $16.45
for disturbing the peace"
It all came about when Hall and a
friend stopped at the tavern in nearby
Howard county. They were Joined
by couple of truck drivers.
They talked about this and that and
finally the conversation turned to the
war. Hall was for keeping out. The
truck drivers were for getting in.
Hitler isn't solely responsible for
the war; Hall opined. He was
creature of the treaty of Versailles
which drove Germany into economic
desperation and permitted him to
come to power.
1.-THE present war was created by
the men who made the peace after the
last war"
The truck drivers, brothers named
Atkinson, eyed him suspiciously.

Up in Most States

State defense councils have been

local defense councils are also being
formed, Harriet Elliott, consumer
representative on the National De-

in a speech prepared in Washington.
Speaking to the N. Y. Herald-Tri-
bune forum in New York, Miss Elliott
said consumer representatives are be-
ing appointed to these councils and
she asked that women work with
them to better the health, nutrition,
recreation and child-care in the vari-
Gus communities.

"In Nazi Germany" spoke Willkie,
'the ownership of most business is
left in private hands but management
is rigidly controlled. Here in America
we have a deadly parallel
Under the SEC. private company
was recently told it could not issue
bonds but must sell stock. The men
who run the SEC know better than
the men who were retained by the
owners to manage that companys af-
fairs.
"They insisted that the company
must issue stock-or nothing. AS a
result the directors of that company,
finding their business judgment over
ruled by a government agency, decid-
ed to do nothing. The efforts OF
that business to create more jobs
were blocked by bureaucracy"
The company of which he spoke was
subsidiary of his own Common
wealth & Southern, the Consumers
Power Co., of Jackson, Mich.
1t had asked the SEC last year for
permission to refund S1S,500,OO0 in
bonds, to sell $3,50O,OOO in stock to
Commonwealth & Southern and to
place a new $1OOOO,OOO bond issue
on the market.
The refunding and the stock sale
were permitted. Permission to issue
the $10,000000 in bonds was denied
After the decision the SEC offered
to grant the Consumers Power Co.,
rehearing
Mr.. Willkie applied for a rehear-
ing but later withdrew his applica-h
ton. He could have made his argu-
ment and appealed to the courts from
the SEC decision.
There seems to have been a reason
for WILKES unwillingness to take
his case to the courts. The commits
sion, in ruling against the new bond
issue, said the issuance would make
the financial structure of Consumers
Power unsafe for investors. 1t would
have raised the ratio of bonds and
preferred stock to sc percent of the
capital.
This decision of the SEC was up
held widely in the business world.

and assures us that he will create so
many jobs in private industry at good
pay that the job will seek the individ-
ual rather than the individual seek
the job.
Surely, nobody can quarrel with
such program-that is, liberal. But
we know that the boys who are giving
up their cold cash to help elect Mr..
Willkie aren't taking these campaign
promises of Mr.. Willkie very serious
ly. These fellows want to cut WPA
to the bone, if not to abolish it en-
tirely. And they want to reduce
rather than to raise relief standards.
If it were left to them, they would
even leave it to nature to solve for
all time the problems of the hungry.
And they are not the kind of people
who are in the habit of buying a cat
in the sack unseen. They generally
know what they are laying their mon
ey out for.
AS for jobs, we have heard those
promises from Republican politicians
before, and they are not worth the
paper they are written on The worker
would be foolish to exchange his vote
for MIR. Wilkes unsecured promls-
sorry note Of job-a note that even
his personal Wall Street banker would
not discount for cash.
Promises to the Farmer
Mr. Willkie assures the farmer that
he favors REA, the Triple-A, farm
parity, and all other features of the
New Deal farm program.
But the record shows that Mr. Will
kie, like all other public utility mag
mates, opposed rural identification,
not on principle, but because it was
deemed Improbable. The social phase
of the question did not enter into his
calculations. When he saw that the
government was determined to go
ahead with rural identification, he
