San Francisco, March 5, 1911.
Dear Mr.. Hearst;
president ROOSEVELT Is
i reported to be giving con-
sideration to the proposal of De-
Tense Commissioner knudsen that
effective curbs be put on strikes
In defense industries.
Mr.. Knudsen's proposal Is.
briefly, that a cooling OFF, period
OF forty days be imposed by fed
eral authority. during which time
operation of these vital Industries
would continue and the disputed
issues would be studied and. II
possible. settled.
Since II has been the experience
In the railroad industry that such
cooling OFF, periods almost I'M
failingly prevent strikes. the pro-
posal mas great merit.
The President recognizes this
fact, for which he Is to be COM
mendcd.
IL Is not to be supposed. re-
CARELESS of Mr.. Roosevelt's recent
assertion that labor disturbances

program have only fractionally
affected the whole effort, that he

great harm inherent In Interrupt

strikes.
He Is well aware. for instance
that IL the recent one-day strike

Bethlehem Steel had been ex-

that company and had been pro.

there is considerable difference Of
opinion in official quarters In
Washington.
High American diplomatic quar-.
tiers are hopeful that, with the aid
of American war supplies, Britain
will be able to hold out against
Germany. These quarters do not
believe Britain alone can defeat
But they believe that II Britain

May Increase

Cardio-vaScular diseases and de-
fectS were about 10 per cent OF
the total found in drafted men
These include heart disease of ali
kinds. varicose veins, varicole and
hemorrhoids.
All of the heart diseases ard
defects are unduly frequent among
tall men and hence may be Ga
pected TO increase in the present
draft.
Men with varicoSe veins are
likely TO be well above average
weight and chest size. but suffer
ers from hemorrhoids are often
underweight and slightly inferior
IN chest measurements.
Developmental and metabolic
defects accounted for some 10 per
cent of physically unfit draftees.
These include underweight, under
height. goitre. imperfect develop
ment of the genitals, etc.
l should expect draft reflections
on these developmental grounds &c
increase in the present generation
because of the drop in infant NOR
tally which implies growth to ma
turity of numerous weddings who
In cruder days, would have sue
ICumbed.

VenereaI Diseases

tuberculosis and venereal dis.
eases comprised together IL pei
cent of the defects found in mer
drafted for the first World War
tuberculosis goes with tall stature
underweight and deficient chest
measurements.
Malnutrition and general pow
erty of living conditions contribute
to the probability of infection by
this disease. We certainly have
more men of the body build asso-
ciated with tuberculosis in the
present generation and we have
had an economic depression which
has lowered living conditions.
Yet the improved medical meth
DDS of controlling tuberculosis may
have been sufficient to cope with
the physical and environmental
trends.
Probably syphilis and gonorrhea
have little relation to body build /;
at any rate, the relationship Is
unknown to me.
The surgeon general of the
United States has found it nee
eSsary to lead a campaign against
veneral diseases. One may scarcely
infer that we have any reason to
be complacent about our venereal
health

Super-highway Plan

The governor outlined Highway
Commissioner G. Donald Ken
nedy's plans for super-highway,
for Detroit to meet defense needs
and said construction will require
long-term federal loans.
This will be necessary to
avoid a transportation break
down similar to the one which
occurred during the last war;"
he said. "Unskilled and over
age labor will be sufficient to
construct these expressways
during the emergency period"
He revealed he had beer
promised by labor leaders and
plant managers that every effort
will be used to avert strikes.
81 am confident Michigan will
have no serious labor problems
in defense plants" he said.
"And, as governor, shall in
sist that labor and management
cooperate to the fullest extent
with the Office of Production
Management and try and settle
AL disputes without interrupting
production"
He suggested to the President
that the war department make
allowances for wage scales when
asking for bids.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Feb. s.
The successful defense of democ-
racy depends not only upon arms
and military organization, but
upon human quality - physical,
mental and moral.
Vast quantities of men and mu-
nitions may not be enough, If both
are inferior.
During the last quarter century
the American population mas
grown steadily taller and heavier,
longer in the legs and in the lower
trunk, but relatively more slender
in build. broader shouldered. mar
rover hipped. more hatchet-faced,
and bigger of foot.
OF 2.753. 922 men examined for
the draft in the first World War,
46.8 per cent were found to be de-
fective. The percentage of the
unfit in the present draft will de-
pend upon the stringency of med
ical requirements as compared
with the last draft, as well as upon
the improvement or deterioration
in our human material.
The largest group of defects
found in the young men examined
for the first World War involved
bones. joints and especially hands
and feet. These constituted about
80 per cent of all defects. The
most important of these were fiat

More Reflections
for Heart Than
in II Seen

How does the physical fitness
of Americas new draft army
compare with that of the Amer
lean youths drafted in the last
war;
Prof. Earnest A. Hooton of
Harvard University, one of
Americas foremost anthropolo-
gists. herewith reveals among
many other comparisons that
members of the new draft army
are inclined 10 be taller. heav-
Ter. broader-Shouldered and Big
ger OF foot than their prede-
ceSSorS of 1917.
He ventures the predicatIon
thar the present draftees will
probably show fewer reflections
for flat feet and defects of the

Fewer Eye Defects

Since this disability is associated
with short stature and under
weight, it may be expected to de-
crease in the present generation
of drafteeS.
About II per cent of the defects
pertained to the sense organs
three-quarters eye diseases and re-
fractive errors. and one-quarter
ear diseases and deafness.
All eye defects occurred in dis
proportionately large numbers of
men who were below average
stature. under weight and of IN
ferior chest size. Thus these Wis
ual deficiencies may be fewer in
the present taller. heavier genera
ton.
have no information about the
relation of ear defects TO body
build. but improved methods of
detecting deafness will doubtless
reveal more of it in the current

State Near Limit
OF Skilled Labor
For Arms Works
3 Important Defense
Bottlenecks Loom,
Van Wagner Says
BY DON GARDNER
Times stan Correspondent

LANSING. Feb. 8. - Michigan
will face three important defense
work bottlenecks this year, Gov.
Murray d. Van Wagner told
President Roosevelt when he went
to Washington Thursday to report
on progress of the states program
In addition. he told the Presi-
dent, Michigan industries will be
unable to handle more than ar
additional $500,000,000 in defense
contracts during the year because
of a pending shortage of skilled
labor and steel. Already contracts
for S700,000,000 in defense work
have been placed.
The three bottlenecks, the gov
ernor said, will be:
IA shortage of housing facil-
l. tiles and skilled labor which
he expects will become critical
by August.
"a shortage Of zinc and alu-
- minum which may have Sc
riOus effects in the manufacture
of bearings and metal alloys.
This shortage, he said, would be
felt sometime after July 1, when
defense manufacturing gets I'M
der way on a large scale.
"a transportation bottIeneck
- already existing In the De-
trOit area consisting of mad
equate arteries to carry workers
and materials to and from the
ma Or industrial areas. This will
become major problem in Aug
ust, he said. because traffic will
increase 25 percent.
Even with $500, 900 900
limit on future defense orders,
the problems of housing. labor
shortages, transportation and
metal shortages must be met
quickly" the governor warned
President Roosevelt.\
All Over State
II am advised that $4,000
families will require homes IN
the Detroit area within the next
18 months. In Flint, Pontiac,
Muskegon, Saginaw and Bay
City there is need for rapid ca
pansiOn of housing facilities.
This should be met through CO.
operation of private business
and established federal agen-
cies."
He cited records of the Mich.
gan unemployment service which
show a registration of less thar
$4,000, of whom 10000 have had
no industrial experience and TO-.
600 are men over so.
Federal assistance in indus
trial apprenticeship classes seems
an urgent need" the governor
continued, land these classes
should be tied directly with in
dustrial plants In communities
where unemployed live.
Detroit alone will require an
extra $4,000 skilled men in de-
Tense industries by August 1.
Unless special training classes
can meet this demand, workers
must be taken from peacetime
production"
