ILLNESS FOUND
TO BE LARGEST
ECONOMIC WASTE
Statistics Brought Out az
Group Health Conference
Shows That $1,000 Man
Days Are Lost Each Work
ing Day Because of Illness.

| MILWAUKEE, The startling cost
of illness to both industry and en-
| ployees, the poor condition of Amer
lean health as revealed by physical
examinations of draftees, and the or
ganization, advancement and evalua-
ton of prepayment group and coop
erative health plans were the key
subjects of interest at the third an
nual conference of group health plans
held at Hotel Schroeder in Milwaukee,
Wis, June 10 and 90.
Dr. Richard D. Mudd, medical d.
rector on leave of the Chevrolet-Grey
Iron Foundry and hevrolet-Transmis-
sion Division of General Motors, Inc,
pointed out that $3.50 of all industrial
employees or 1,750,000 Industrial
workers are inactiyated at all times
because of disability. To put it In
other words, SO employees out Of
every 1000 are absent due to various
forms of disability at all times.
DR.. Kingsley Roberts, director Of
the Medical Administration Service of
New York City discussed the signifi-
canoe Of the fact that 43% of all men
of draft age who have taken physical
examinations have been found unfit
for military service. Speaking of an
answer to this problem, DR.. Roberts
said, "The question is no longer, shall
we have prepayment of medical serv-
ice? II is now prepayment by whom
to whom and for what" This same
question was discussed by several
other speakers but especially by DR..
Dean Clark from the Division Of Pub
lie Health Methods of the U. s. Health
Service.

TRESPASSINC AT THE CAPITAL

attached the May bill as rider to
the draft deferment bill-a bill which
had no opposition to enhance its
chances of passage. Lurid anti-labor
literature, with photographs showing
helpless workers" being beaten by
strikers II not strikers being bludg-
eoned, as is usually the case-were
profusely distributed The tom-toms
were beating fiercely, and rivulets of
tears (of the crocodile variety were
shed by the reactionaries for the "boys
in camp" the poor Jims," as Georges
the sons of the very workers who
were seeking living wages to keep the
home fires burning while the boys
are doing their bit. But it availed
them nothing; their game was too OBJ
vious.
1t is significant that the anti-Iabor
gang suffered their real defeat In the
house, where their strength Is greater
than it is in the senate. When debate
on the measure started on Wednesday
of last week, the sponsors of the bill
seemed to have a commanding ma
jority The following day, however,
when it became generally known that
the president was against it, and when
labor representatives let it be known
that every member Of the house who
the bill would be held to a
strict accounting when election day
comes around, it became obvious that
Their ranks were breaking. Aged Rep.
SABBATH, ILL.,, chairman of the house
rules committee, took the floor to OPP
pose the rule of his own committee
in tying this rider to the draft defer
ment bill, and called the turn when
he charged that small group, not
interested in national defense at all,
was trying to put this bill over for
Interior purposes. 1t was ludicrous to

that the board, in allocating all
Of the funds to only half of the
counties Of the state had vio-
lated the decree of the legisla-
ture which directed that the
appropriation should be appor-
toned in inverse proportion to
the taxable valuation per cap
tia Of all of the counties, and
contended that Lewis and
Clark county under that pro-
vision would be entitled to
$500 where under the boards
allotment it would receive
nothing.
In compliance with the petition, the
supreme court issued an alternative
writ of mandate directing the welfare
board to rescind it's action in allocat-
ing all of the relief funds to % coun-
ties or to show cause why it should
not do So
The petition filed by Lewis and
Clark county, recited that the follow
ing counties, not included in the vel
fare boards list of counties to receive
allotments from the state relief appro-
priation, were, on the basis of taxable |
valuation per capita, entitled to the |
following: Beaverhead, $4,000; Broad

POI. ICIES
ANNOUNCED
General Crop Prospects Ex-
coed Those of Last Year;
Wheat Expected to Exceed

WASHINGTON, D. CA national
defense price-policy for dairy products
was proposed today by the National
Cooperative Milk Producers Fedora
ton in rounding out it's public sug-
gestions for an articulated program
to protect dairy farmers during the
pending emergency. This proposal,
intended to secure adequate domes-
tic supplies of dairy products and pro-
vide sufficient additional supplies to
meet the need of the Allies, was
prepared by the Federation's eXecu-
| tive committee after consultation with
| leaders of the Federation membership
in representative sections of the ma.
ton Designed further to prevent an
unbalancing of the dairy economy,
these proposals of a far-reaching ma
ture follow:
"In the present emergency If the
government is to succeed In increas-
ing the domestic supply Of milk suf.
ficiently to care for both the needs of
our citizens and the needs OF the
allies it should approach the problem
realistically with the knowledge that
no war has even been waged on
low price policy for commodities.
"This condition is particularly true
in the present emergency when the
government has already embarked
upon a program of compromising in
dustry for capital investments and
making no effort to stop the upward
spiral of wages.
eff the milk supply is to be in
creased for defense needs, and bear
ing in mind that increasing the ma
tional production of milk is necessar-
lily longtime program, the govern
ment must guarantee at least mini
mum prices for all milk at levels high
enough to attract producers into in
creased production and compensate
them for increased costs.
"Such a price policy may be divided |
into several parts: recognizing con-
tinuous difficulty of producers in GER
tain areas to supply consumer needs |
at all times, and the present acute |
milk shortage in those sections due |
to drouth conditions Immediately be |
raised to levels sufficiently high to
insure adequate local supplies of milk |
and it's products without making it |
necessary for these communities, In |
order to secure enough milk and its
products for their needs, to go into |
manufacturing areas and compete |
with the government I'm ffe rropra m |
Of purchasing dairy products for the
allies. Price levels in the great dairy
areas should be suffi-
GENTLY high to encourage producers
% produce milk for manufacturing
purposes. Milk shed prices in the
areas should be main
aimed on differentia1 basis, high
enough to assure an adequate supply

Anti-Labor Forces
Routed in House
THE REACTIONARIES ON CAPI-
Toll HILL HAVE BEEN DECISIVE
LY LICKED IN THEIR FIRST REAL
AND DETERMINED ATTEMPT TO
PUT THROUGH RESTRICTIVE LA
Dor LAWS IN THIS SESSION OF
CONGRESS. This was the defeat in
the House last week of the so-called
May bill to afford protection to all
persons engaged in the operation of
such (defense) plant or industry who
voluntarily desire to work OF
those nice little bills that would pro
tect" the exploited worker in his right
to be exploited, all, Of course, in the
interest of the exploiting employer.
The defeat of the May bill was &C
complished by a vigorous campaign
on the part of the AFL, the CLIO, the
railroad brotherhoods and all other
important sections of American labor,
aided by the administration, which
sent word to the house via the grape
vine route that it wants no part OF
this type of legislation. The anti-la-
Dor crowd is a badly beaten lot, and,
unless unforeseen circumstances de-
velop, which nobody anticipates, 1t is
difficult to see how they can get up
sufficient steam to again threaten to
enact their program into law.
The lesson to labor is plain: With
out single exception, whenever labor
in recent years presented united
front in opposition to pending legls-
Iaton inimicaI to Iabor's interest, and
put up vigorous fight, they sent
their enemies scurrying for cover.
Make no mistake about 1T, the anti
labor gang put everything they had
into this one. The Vinson bill was
side-tracked for the May bill. Every
ruse and trick known to the profess
sion were employed by them. They |

In the July issue of Social Justice,
Father Charles E. Coughlin echoes the
nazi canard that "Germany's war on
Russia is battle for Christianity"
The Royal Oak priest hews to the
Goebbels line by declaring that this
Crusade for Christianity" is also a
fight against the goddess Jews:
Eve remember that atheistic Com

to birth in Russia chiefly through the
fundamentally of goddess Jews.

POWER TO BE SUPPLIED
BY GOVERNMENT DAMS

Grand Coulee dam in Washington

Reclamation, will furnish power for
the defense production of more than
one-third of the 600,000,0O0 pounds of
additional aluminium production
planned by the Office of Production
Management beginning in 1912, ac-
cording to reports.
This contribution to the national
defense program has been made pos
sible by the speed-up of the generation
schedules undertaken months ago in
anticipation of defense demands, Com
missioner John G. Page reported to

Under the new ruling, the farmers
having grain in excess of their allot-
ment may store the grain under a
government loan of go percent Of the

in hopes that restrictions upon sale or
use of the "hot wheat" may be lifted

Under the new regulations issued,

He may escape the payment of pen

 Determined that the literary ex- change between North and Latin America shall not be limited to ''Don Cuixote" ard Gone With the Wind" Rockefeller has persuaded eight publishers to get out good translations of Spanish books.
 He is working on state boards of education to convince them they should revise textbooks to include more Latin American history. And he hopes to make American edu- cators Portuguese conscious, since Portuguese, not Spanish, is the language of half the population of South and Central America.

 TO BEHAVE
 To avoid the embarrassing situa- tions created by tourists ignorance of Latin customs, Rockefeller'S divis- ion is getting up pamphlet on how not to behave. It will rib fe- male sightseers about such gauch- cries as visiting churches dressed in slacks, sandals and without a hat. Rockefeller hopes to give his fellow Americans some sugar coated tips by making them laugh at themselves
 If 1t were as easy in every case to solve an economic problem while making friends and influencing people, young MT. Rockefeller could be sure of a touchdown.
