details Of his surgical operations
themselves.
For instance, there is the scene
Of the mother Of the seven-year-
old child who has been to the doc
tor that day and comes home and
tells father that DR.. So-and-So
says the boys tonsils should come
out. The father, who is a service
man in q garage, and is thinking
about expenses, says: "Who is DR..
So-and-So" Mother replies that
he is the doctor who took out the
tonsils Of the little girl across the
street, and everything turned out
all right.
Well,Sthere Is a long argument,
and the father decides to take the
boy to another doctor, and this one
burns the tonsils out, not always
with necessarily good results, SO
chat the boys future is sacrificed
to immediate necessity.
Smothered With Kindness
Then there is the husband and
wife who were sitting at home.
and the wife says: ~ hear that
Gertrude Smith had an operation
day before yesterday. Everybody
is sending her flowers, and we
ought to send some" GAIL right"
says the husband, "send her a
rose" "Oh! no, we can't do that"
says the wife. "Clara sent her
three dozen roses. We will have to
send a large plant"
Also she says: "They say she
can't see anybody, but Clara got
in to see her yesterday, and Ger
trude is an old friend Of mine,
much older than she is Of Clara's,
and I'm going to get in to see her
tomorrow. Mrs. Jones is going to
60 with me, and we are going to
have a nice talk"
And they smother the poor pa
tient with kindness and she has a
setback.
The Business Man
Another is the business man
who has 4 sick person in the fam
lily. He has always been very eff
cient-"Do it now" His attitude
is: "Well, if there is something the
matter with this patient let's get
it over with. Let's have the thing
done right now. Let's get down to
business and get some of this
treatment installed. Let's not
monkey around with anything, but
get right down to business. Let's
get some results.
1t is very difficult to explain to
this person that the human bodyis
not necessarily a ledger or bust
ness or an automobile that is
broken down, but that it is some
what delicate and may need rest,
and that all kinds Of medical treat
ment can't be plugged into it. He
wants action-and that is one of
the reasons why graves are dug.
My friend, the surgeon, is think
ing Of writing a book called Ell
quette for Patients Relatives and
Friends" 1t ought to be very val
liable. ~

UNIONS BACKED BY
! NEW YORK PRIEST

Passaic, N. 1.-THE only safeguard
for the workers of America, the only
security for the permanence of the
American way of life, is to increase
and strengthen the American trade
union.
That statement was made here by
Rev. John Monaghan, chaplain of the
Association of Catholic Trade Union
lists, New York, before the st. Mich
olas Forum.
"Through the unions," Father Mon
aghan declared, "the present social
gains have been attained. Trade
unions are marked as enemies already
by the American Hitlers, who will
save America for a dollar a year and
sabotage it's labor in the name of de-
fense.
"Any state that must be saved only
by the destruction of trade unions is
not worth fighting for and certainly
not worth saving"

RAILROAD UNIONS FORMALLY
PRESENT WAGE DEMANDS

Chicago QLNS).-Demands of l.
1885, organized railroad workers for
wage increases were formally pre-
sented to the rail arrangements by
representatives Of the workers on
June 10. There was no change in the
demands as previously announced.
The operating workers brother
hoods demanded a flat 80 per cent in
crease for about 100000 engineers,
firemen, conductors, switchmen and
trainmen. Fourteen incorporating
unions demanded wage increases for
about 100000 shopmen, clerks, teie-
graphers and other workers.
The unions asked that the wage in
creases be made effective July 10.
Under provisions of the Railway La
Dor Act, the demands go to mediation
and it will probably be months before
decision is reached. If the Railway
Mediation Board can not bring about
an agreement, the President is en-
powered to appoint a fact-finding
board, which would delay action for at
least GO days.
Red caps and train porters joined
| the other organizations in asking
more pay, seeking an increase Of 80
cents an hour.

Court Dismisses
Injunction Order
Against ILGWu

st. Louis, Mo. OLNS).-A long
standing restraining order against the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union in the celebrated Donnel-
ley Garment Co. case has been dis
missed by the Federal Circuit Court of
Appeals.
The court reversed a lower court
decree which restrained the union
from committing acts of violence or
conducting a secondary boycott in or
ganizing the 1900 employees of the
Donnelley concern at Kansas City.
The injunction was asked on the
ground that activities of the union
constituted restraint of trade in vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust act
The Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
that the lower court did not have jur-
isdiction.
In handing down it's decision, the
court stated that the mandate would
be withheld 80 days to permit the
company to apply to the Supreme
Court for a writ Of certiorari and if
the writ is granted the mandate will
be stayed until the Supreme Court
has acted.
Former Senator "Jim" Reed was at
torney for the Donnelley concern, OF
which his wife is president.

middle-aged mechanics to fit them to

The Virtue Of
Intolerance
BY RUTH TAYLOR

There comes a time in the life of
every nation when tolerance ceases to
be a virtue, when it is more far
sighted to become intoerant, when
we must-to use the dictionary def
milton of intolerance-"be unwilling
to bear or endure"
We have reached that stage today.
We have seen what has happened to
the nations who were too tolerant
too tolerant of the forces of evil
who worked from within to tear
down and destroy the good that count
less generations had built by heavy
labor and with great sacrifice.
We need to be ntolerant-intolerant
Of the cruelties inflicted on helpless
terrified people who because they
dwelt in the paths of peace and who
cultivated their own lands, were
moved down by the relentless aggres
sors whose only desire was to reap
where others had sown-to seize for
themselves whatever they wished,
things which they could have made
for themselves had they bent half the
efforts and skill they used in the pur-
suit of war to peaceful attainment
of prosperity.
We need to be Observation-Disclosures

disrupt our national unity, sabotaging
not merely our industrial plants and

that opened the gates of the coun-
tries overseas to the invader and be-

Trojan Horses--or Fifth ColumnistS
or by whatever name you will--we
have been tolerant with their pervert-
ed practices too long.
We need to be intolerant-intoler-
ant of an attack upon any group be-
cause of race, creed, class, or color
This country is based upon freedom
for all, and the right to think, speak
write and worship as the individual
conscience dictates-but it does not
include the right to try to keep this
privilege from anyone else. We must
not let our constitutional rights be
used by any one group to destroy an
other which is entitled to the same

Of intolerance.
Solomon, that wise king, summed il
up thus: "These six things doth tn,
Lord hate; yea, seven are an abomi
nation unto Him: proud look, lying
tongue, and hands that shed innocen
blood, an heart that deviseth wicke,
imaginations, feet that be swift il
running to mischief, false witness
that speaketh lies, and he that sowetl
discord among brethren"
OF these same things let US toda,
be intolerant!

Washington, D. c. (1LNS).-Need
of speedy and adequate housing for
workers in defense industries was en-
phasized by President Roosevelt at the
opening here of conference called
by the National Committee on the
Housing Emergency, headed by Mrs.
Samuel l. Rosenman of New York.
Leaders in business and finance,
housing, city planning and civic well
fare applauded the Presidents appeal
and similar appeal of William S.
Knudsen, Director General of the Of
flee Of Production Management. Both
the President and Knudsen urged in
dividual and collective cooperation in
providing housing for defense work.
ers.
The Presidents appeal was made in
letter to Mrs. Rosenman, read at
the opening session of the conference.
He wrote that the demands Of
speedy, all-out national defense have
served to focus attention upon the
whole housing problem Of the nation"
and went on to point out that the
rapid expansion of the defense pro-
gram had brought hundreds of thou
sands of workers and their families
into areas not equipped to house
them"
Only Beginning Made
"But," the President continued,
"they must be housed-and adequate
ly housed. The government has al
ready taken steps to do it's part to
provide adequate housing for these
defense workers. But we have just
made beginning. The task requires
not only quick action and intelligent
planning by the Federal government
1t requires the cooperation of states
and cities and towns-and, equally as
important, the cooperation and un-
selfish assistance of real estate own
ers and private builders.

the representatives of civic associa-

Experience Gained
''Tn the Federal housing program we
have laid groundwork which has not
only made substantial beginning in
the solution of the general overall
housing needs of the nation, but which
has also given US great experience OF
all kinds with which to proceed te
plan and act inthe future.
81 am sure that the Forthcoming
discussions will be helpful in acquaint

been done, and with what must be
done, if democracy is really to serve
