Infections
Of Lungs
Start Early
tuberculosis May Affect
Any Part Of Body
by LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d

TUBERCULOSIS may affect
nearly any part of the body
bones, kidneys, lymph nodes
but the commonest form is tu-
berculosis of the lungs, which
used to be dubbed consumption.
How does person acquire
tuberculosis Of the lungs? It is
usually discovered at about the
ages Of 20 to 80, and it is ma
tural TO assume that the affected
individual caught IL just a few
months before either from
germs blowing in the air, or a
drinking cup, or from another
infected person.
Such used to be our idea about
the development of consumption.
Villemin, the French army
doctor who first declared that
tuberculosis was infectious, said
in 1865 that The phthisical
soldier is to his messmate what
the glandered horse is to its
yokefellow."
QUT our modern conception is
- different from that.
AS people with tuberculosis
have been studied and their past
history inquired into, IL has been
found that in nearly all cases
they were thin and sickly for
while in childhood. and that
there is almost always a definite
history of a parent or some one
in the household where they
grew up who was something of
an invalid. or had a chronic
cough, or remained underweight.
We have been studying tuber-
culosis long enough now so that
we have followed many cases
from childhood to adult life and
this has given us a different
idea OF the natural history of
the disease.
tuberculosis is lifelong dis
ease. Most people who develop
an active case acquire the dis
ease in childhood around the age
of 5 years.
In the vast majority Of cases
tuberculosis is acquired from
another human being.
The danger is not from dust
or personal belongings, but close
contact.
The people who have latent
tuberculosis and can spread it,
often are unaware of il and
have acquired such a resistance
that they can do regular work.
The disease in childhood is
very different from the disease
in adult life.
In childhood II remains largely
in the lymph nodes of the body
and is not an open case. The
child does not spread germs to
others.
AUR modern conception states
then that tuberculosis,
when it is found in an adult, is
not really recently acquired but
is simply the old childhood in
lection coming to the surface
and beginning TO show develop
| ment.
On the basis OF this concep-
ton the two detectives of tuber-
culosis prevention are to ex-
anime large groups of school
children in order to be able to
put those who have tuberculosis
under proper hygienic conditions
Of fresh air and proper food I;
and in the second place to weed
out of all the household all the
adults who might possibly carry
tuberculosis to a child by con-
| tact.
Do adults acquire the disease :?
The chances are very strong
that if you have no active tuber-
culosis tyou may have healed
spot at the age of 20, you will
never get it.

Anti-Poll Tax Bill
 Asked in Congress

The National Negro Congress has called upon individuals and organiza- tions including the trade union move ment to push the fight on nationwide front to free ten million disfranchised Negro and white citizens who still live under the yoke of the poll tax in eight southern states.
 Because less than sixty of the 218 signatures required to bring the Geyer Anti-Poll Tax Bill to the floor of the House have been placed on the No. 1 petition on the Speakers desk a real campaign to get Congressman to sign must be launched, Congress officials said.

Electricians
 Act Against

Local 3 Wants Consolidated Edison to Employ Union
 Men On Job

NEW YORK; citywide strike of electricians that would paralyze all construction work has been authorized by vote of 6,500 members of Local 3, International Brotherhood of Elec- trical Workers.
 WANT UNION JOB
 The strike is designed to force Consolidated Edison Co. to em- plOy union members on its Waterside power plant, now under construction. Although the big utility has used AFL men on previous jobs, last year it de- cided to turn the work at Water side over to a company union known as the Brotherhood of Consolidated Edison Empolyes. Six hundred jobs are involved.
 Metal fathers have struck the Waterside project in sympathy with Local 3. Business Manager Harry Van Arsdale Jr. of Local said the purpose of the citywide strike is to carry the fight to Consolidated Edi- son wherever the union meets the company. Edison men perform a ser vice on every building in the process of construction" he said.
 SEEK UNITY
 Van Arsdale has asked Presi- dent Thomas Murray of the Building Trades Council to call a sympathy strike of other crafts on the Waterside job.

 HOW ABOUT MEMBERSHIP?
 MT. Fairfield queried dryly, If that's true, such a letter and Mrs. Herricks answer, if one was forth coming, ever read to the membership of the Independent? Certainly, the NIB. employees have the right to know what the National Labor Board thinks of so-called independent unions"
 COMPANY UNION
 As further proof of the company union nature of the Independent, Fair held recalled that the former Officials had insisted that the M.B. foremen be allowed membership.
 The nachinists' organizer concluded by promising that the employees of the NIB. Manufacturing Company will be kept up to date on all developments at regular bi-monthly meetings.

Ownership
(Continued from Page 1)
 EMINENT AMERICANS

The Public Ownership League of America lists among its vice-presi- dents, many eminent Americans nl- cluding the Rt. Reverend Monsignor John A. Ryan, DID,; Bishop F. J. Mcconnell, Methodist Episcopalian Church, New York City; United States Senator Lynn J. Frazier, from North Dakota; and ex-Governor El- mer A. Benson of the Minnesota Farmer Labor Party. Labor is also represented among the Leagues vice presidents by E. J. Manion, Grand President, Brotherhood Railroad Tel egraphers, St. Louis, Missouri; and E. H. Fitzgerald, Grand President, Brotherhood of Railroad Clerks.
 GENERAL WELFARE
 It has as its purpose the pro- motion of the general welfare through the public service, seek ing above all to protect and pro- mote those institutions, utilities and resources that already belong to the public, i.e., schools, roads, the postal service, parks, play grounds, forests; municipal water works, light and power plants
 LEAGUES STAND
 It stands for the public ownership of natural resources and those public utilities which are natural and essen- tion monopolies-water, light, power, transportation. However, the League declares it does not advocate the pub lie ownership of all utilities nor any radical nor extreme applic, ,ation of the principle.
 COOPERATION
 Rather, it seeks to cooperate with the Federal government and with those municipalities and states, organizations and indivi- duals that endeavOr to promote, establish or extend their public institutions and to promote the public ownership of only those basic public utilities and natural resources that are essential to the greatest degree of personal liberty, private enterprise and the general welfare.

GREEN GIVES DATA

presented to the committee detailed statement based on survey made by the AFL's affiliates which showed in specific terms what is happening to men and women working on the defense program.
 The survey was probably as ex- haustive survey of the living con- ditions in the country as has ever been prepared by labor organization and it showed the impact of defense by city and by state in terms of dol lars and cents.
 Corrington Gill, assistant WPA commissioner told the committee that the defense program will by no means provide all of the unemployed with jobs and that there is grave danger that the unemployed will lose public sympathy and under standing.
 BELOW 1929 PEAK
 Gill noted that after year of intense activity, total employ ment in May was still below the 1929 peak, that agricultural em- pIoyment was Is million less than in May, 1929, and that while total employment is less than it was l2 years ago, total production is higher.
 Green suggested that workers are entitled to as many induce ments as industry as he noted that industry has been wOOed with special tax and amortization laws.
 Nothing, he said, has been done to protect the old age and sur- vivors' insurance rights of men drafted and nothing has been done to protect the social secur- ity rights of workers called into civilian government service.
 WORKER LOSES EQUITY
 A worker with wife and two small children, who has been employed at an average wage of $100 a month for three years, has built up old age and survivors insurance equal to the in- come from $13,0OO at 4%, Green pointed out. If he goes to work in government navy yard or on similar job he loses that equity.
 Green also suggested that study be made of a system of contributory dis missal wages in defense employments to overcome the disadvantage of the temporary nature of such work. The man leaving his regular line of work often gives up equity in seniority agreements, plant retirement systems, and normal expectations of continued employment, he said.
 RENT COUCING
 The Federation's housing survey, Green said, showed that all of the towns examined showed rent increases ranging from 10@o to 2009o with many reporting increases of 35%, 409o, and 5096 for homes rented to new workers. What is needed, he as- serted, is more homes, well built, and available to workers at fair rents.
 Immediate health measures are also vital, Green declared, to meet the lack of proper sanitary facilities, the increased risk of venereal disease, and the jump in the industrial accident rate.
 LABOR REPRESENTATION
 Green concluded by saying that adequate labor representa- ton and responsibility in the de- fense program would make pos- sible the support of an under standing natiOn'' and would pro- duce a ''grim determination to to produce the defense necessary to maintain our free institutions.''
