Claimed

A conspiracy between the Com

ers and responsible officials of the
Detroit NLRB office to use the
Wagner Act to gain control of the
Fordd Motor Company was
charged today by L. A. Capizzi,
Ford counsel. as he asked dismissal
lof the UAW-CIO petition for an
NLRB election in the Rouge,
Lincoln and Highland Park plants.
Capizzi charged that the JAW
CIO is dominated by Communists,
that the Detroit NLRB office has
in its employ certain Communist
sympathizers," and because Of this
fair and impartial investigation"
into the question of union repre-
sentation cannot be made in De-
troit.
If the election petition is not
dismissed, CapiZzi asked that the
hearing be transferred to another
NLRB district free from com.
munistic influences"

After setting forth that the
Communist Party in this country

ment. Capizzi listed six reasons
for dismissal OF the petition. They
are:
THAT the UAW-CIO has
a among Its leaders and adj
visors many members of the

ceeded In dominating Its activi-
tees and controlling its policies.
O-That the Detroit regional

A MEDICAL OPINION OF
VIVISECTION

To read some OF the nonsense
that is talked by the supporters OF
vivIsection, one might imagine that
criticism came only from ignorant
or sentimental laymen. Far from
this being the case, In the ranks Of
the medical profession itself are
to be found some Of the most
severe critics.
In a review Of the English pub.
Iication, the Mind Changers. pub
lished in the London Medical
World of June o, 1899. the authori.
tative reviewer says;
"When zee hear Of the
horrors, Of animal expert
ments, more especially of
those prdctised abroad lin
America among other couH-
tries), tOe mdrUeI that such
things are permitted IN an
age Of so-cdlled civilization.
IL is easy to scott at the
facts set out so clearly in
this Uoiume, bit there is no
gaiR-Saying the fact that
the toll Of animal suffering
inflicted IN the experiment
tai laboratory is great, and,
moreover. is tending to in
crease, noiV that non-med-
zeal research 1C0rkers are
engaged ~ this too often
resultiess form Of erperi-
ment. What is acrOng acith
research today is that 10 is
slowIy but surely becoming
dieorced from clinical OBJ
serudtion, and eUen some Of
our leading authorities are
beginning to point this out.
IL is becoming. IN fact,
more and more difficult for
the cliHician to get articles
accepted, as modern pedi-
col Journals. with Of course
certain notable exceptions,
seem to gre precedence TO
articles tcrittea by pure re-
search workers.
This UOlume THROWS
much light on the subject
OF laboratory research and
also on the cruelty prac-
tised on dumb animals. We
trust that.Rot a fetc wW be
led to inquire 'chether the
suffering eHt0iIed in often
fruitless research is really
north lchile. After all, the
abnormal laboratory anu
NAL cannot be compared
NTH the human subject.
and so the results Of lobord-
tory research are often mis-
leading ichen applied to
mankind"

Reds in NLRB Plot, Ford Charges
Midland
Row Shuts
Lincoln

The Midland Steel strike today
had its first major effect on De-
troit's auto industry when the
Lincoln Motor Company plant
failed to open this morning be-
cause of the lack of Midland
made frames.
Federal Labor Conciliator
James E.. Dewey, here seeking to
settle the dispute between the
Midland management and JAW
CLIO, said if the strike does not
end in 48 hours. virtually all
Chrysler Corporation plants and
more than one-half of General
Motors plants will have to close
for the same reason.
The Lincoln plant normally
employs 1900 men. With only
the powerhouse, tool room, plant
protection and maintenance crews
working today. it was estimated
approximately 5000 had been
made idle.
CONFER AGAIN
Meanwhile, as production lines
ate into dwindling supplies o.
frames at General Motors ant
I Chrysler. union and management
representatives met again around
the conference table with Dewey.
Dewey said that unless the
meeting produces results, he viii
ask the union to bring Philip
Murray, Go president, here to
settle the dispute.
Stoppage Of work at the Chrys-
Ter and General Motors plants
will seriously hamper the national
defense program, both corpora
tons being en- ged on defense
contracts totaling many million
dollars.
Besides the company and union
officials sitting in the conferences
with Dewey. Edward M. Owen

alton board. is also taking part
