The Wilmington morning star., 1940-04-03
By HOWARD w. BLAkESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor

CLEVELAND, April I'll i g h
blood pressure was described before
the American College of Physicians
today as 'the most serious disease in
American life"
This common complaint has passed
heart disease as the number one
killer among the first 10 causes of
death. Its yearly toll was given as
about 375, 900, against about $50, 900,
the last official figure for heart dis
ease.
The report was made by Doctors
E. V. Allen and A. w. Adson, both
Of the Mayo Clinic and the Univer.
sity of Minnesota Medical School,
The College of Physicians, in con
vention here, is one of the big
three among American medical so.

Blood Pressure Termed
Most Serious Disease In y. S.

The cause of high blood pressure,
they said, is an increase in resist
ance to the flow through the tips
that branch out from arteries. The
reason is not known. Heredity, how
ever, is one factor.
The report drew a startling picture
of h%eredity's connection. Where the
disease runs in families, the second
generation dies earller than the
first, and the third earlier than the
second.
'The following family history is
exemplary said the report. THE
grandfather died at 70 years of a
stroke; the mother died at &C years
of 'brights disease; and the son aged
IS, is seriously i'll with apprehension
(high blood pressure) which will
probably terminate his life within a
few months"
High blood pressure as the real
cause of so many deaths has escaped
notice because until recently physi-
clans have been attributing these
fatalities to a variety of other causes,
including hemorrhage OF bleeding of
the brain and kidney trouble. Some
cases of heart disease, although by
no means all of them, are really due
to high blood pressure.

RED CAPS AGREE TO POOL
INCOME TO PROTECT
WAGES

New York, May--(CNA)-Result-
ing from a new agreement with the
United Transport Service Employees
of America, red caps of the Chicago
and North Western railroad this week
instituted a pooling and distribution
of all income received under the ten
cent bag charge placed upon passen-
gers by the railroads. ..
Under the new union agreement
with the minimum of 80 cents an hour
will be paid from the general fund,
and the remainder will be distributed
equally among the red cap employees
on the basis of hours worked. Cap
tains and mailmen were increased to
40 cents hourly minimum, with the ad-
ditional 10 cents to be paid out OF
other company reserve. Also under
the new agreement, these preferred
jobs were bulletined and filled on the
basis of seniority.
The first agreement under the new
10 cent bag charge, union leaders des-
cribed the pooling and distribution"
system as removing the immediate
danger of the railroad companies using
the 10 cents bag charge and the 80
cents minimum to lower income
standards. Intensive competition and
favoritism, an old traditional evil
among red caps, has been greatly min
imized by the new agreement, union
officials said.
The agreement, covering stations at
Chicago, Evanston, Milwaukee and
Sioux City, was signed by President
Willard S Townsend, Secretary Trea-
surer John L. Yancey and District
Chairman T. W. Winchester for the
union, and NJ. E. Pangle, Vice-Presi-
dent and Director of Personnel for the
company.
