RooseveI+'s
'Wage-Price
Plan Held Up
Lost-Minute Hitch Alters
Superboard Idea
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, ept. g.
" President Roosevelt did
not submit his wage-price pro-
gram TO Congress Labor Day as
planned. All he said to Congress
was Tin effect):
you repeal that obnoxious
farm-price initiating law within
three weeks, and allow me
freely TO move against our ris-
ing threat of initiation disaster,
or l will put my program into
effect, regardless of your re-
striction."
Something happened the last
few days before the message TO
cause change in White House
plans.
The Presidents trouble-com-
promiser, Judge Rosenman, had
submitted to Mr.. Roosevelt
several recommendations for
executive action without con-
greSsional approval (See
column published recent y.
These headed up toward in
auguration of an overall eco
nomic control board, made up of
various government department
chiefs (McNutt, Henderson,
Davis, Eccles, Nelson, Wick
ard.
MIR. ROOSEVELT, tired of
A'A creating superboards on
top of failures and mindful of
some inner criticism, then
seemed 10 swerve toward NAM
ing chairman Of the board
with such strong powers that
he could be popularity known as
car over prices and wages.
For that job he possibly had
decided upon a man, not too
much of a laborite. or farm
bloc man, TO be suspected Of
faVorltism in a d m n iStering
wages and prices.
Presumably he wanted some
one who would establish the
confidence of the country
tBaruch and Lehman being
mentioned in most Of the news
paper accounts, although some
threw in the names of Justice
Douglas, and other left-leaning
New Dealers who did not fill
the requirement. or McNutt who
is already running for President
in 19i4).
When Mr.. Roosevelt tried this
program out on congressman in
advance, he ran into objections.
mainly from the farm bloc.
Some of them. like Senator Nor
riS of Nebraska, spoke out
publicly.

Treatment
And Causes
OfHead Pains
Area First TO Show
Effects Of Fatigue
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENINa

WE HAVE mentioned pains in
w the muscles. joints, ten
dons and also foot pain in
articles this week.
We 20 on 10 discuss the COM
monest kind OF pain of all
headache or head pain.
As in the case of the foot the
head is subject 10 pain often
because there are so many struc-
lures in the head area that are
constantly used and that need
a very delicate balance and adj
justment so that they will oper-
ate smoothly.
For instance. We all know
fatigue headaches.
You have been going about all
day working so hard you haven't
time TO notice whether there is
any headache beginning or not.
Your eyes move from one side
10 the other on the average of
at least twice a second.
Your ears are constantly as
sailed with variety OF strange
noises-bangs. shriekS, Scrapes,
pounds or just plain noises,
YOU have nodded your head
Il heaven knows how many
times, turned TO look 10 right
or left and spoken several thou
sand words, all requiring mus
cular motion.
Your nose has been aSsailed
with a number of different odors
and it has become the recep-
tacle for quite a quantity of
street dirt.
Is il any wonder that the
head bears the brunt OF the IA
tigue reaction of all this ac-
tivity and that you have a IA
tigue headache? 1t is unques-
tionably the commonest form Of
headache.
Any kind Of poison or toxin
seems 10 go 10 the head first
and headache is reliably the
first indication of cold or a
fever.
THESE are all occasional or
Il acute head aches. The
chronic headache is not so easy
to deal with or to explain.
The common chronic head
ache. as DR.. Hugh Patrick OF
Chicago used TO tell his students,
is not an ache at all.
The patient will describe Il
as a pressure. or fullness, or
feeling Of emptiness, or drag
ging, or dizziness, or unsteadi-
ness, or tension. or Pickering, or
feeling as if the head contained
a liquid which changed its
level at each movement and so
on adj infinitum.
These neurotic headaches are
easier TO describe than 10 cure.
Medicines are no good for
them. in fact should be avoided.
Psychological treatment is best.
The other form of chronic
headache is migraine. or sick
headache. II is recurrent and
comes in spells and runs in fam
lilies. Nobody knows what
causes IL.
IT BEGINS in your adult life
Il and usually disappears in
middle age. 1t never kills. That
is one thing to be said in its
favor.
Most patients have their own
system OF treatment.
As l wrote some time ago q
number OF people tell me that
If they do not drink water
during or before the attack, the
attack is shortened.

spring when the present Hen
derson price setup was insti-
tuted by Congress over two
thirds of the prices of the ma
ton, leaving one-third untouched
and encouraging farm prices to
run up. The Henderson system
has been brazen political
makeshift compromise with the
unions and farm bloc.
The part of it that Mr.. Roose-
welt did not tell in his message.
and the story with which the
farm bloc men have justified
themselves for their own selfish
politics, is that Mr.. Roosevelt
was not holding down the unions.
LIS various labor boards let
H some union wages ease up
higher along a cost of living
yardstick-and in the pending
General Motors case a labor
board panel even went beyond
the cost of living Justification
for further wage increase. The
farm bloc men said:
you are letting the unions
get theirs; we will get ours"
This weakness in the PreSi-
dents position still prevails in
his message. While his presen-
tation of the case against rising
wages and prices is straightfor-
ward. and nonpolitical, and his
plan to act carries the same
h ones t, open-handed general
tone, he did not say how, or how
firmly, he will stabilize" union
wages Significantly, perhaps, he
does not use the words fix" or
freeze in this connection, but
only in connection with prices).
All he said about wages was
that he proposes TO stabilize"
them himself.
HIS program, therefore, can
H not be analysed yet. While
his objective is unanswerably
right, the most important ques-
ton of whether his program will
work, or even whether it will be
fair and firm can be answered
only after it is announced.
People will look very closely,
for the wording of the labor pro-
visions especially. to see whether
he will leave enough loopholes
through which unions can edge
their particular stipends still
higher.
Also the character of the man
he will appoint 10 do the job
may be more revealing as TO the
real extent of his program,
which is now being prematurely
chriStened by the headline writ
ers as a "wage-price freezing
device.
SO far il sounds more like
wage sterilization and price
freezing

Mississippi Seno+e
For Anfi-Union Law
Senator Means Johnson Au-
thor Of Bill And Steered
Its Passage

Jackson, Miss. GLNS).-The State
Senate. in a far reaching and stringent
labor bill voted to outlaw CLOSED
shop activities of labor unions on de-
fenSe projects. The bill is almost AN
exact duplicate Of the Texas law,
which became operative in April, 1941.
Senator Means Johnson Of Greenwood
was the author of the bill and Steered
its passage.
The bill makes it a felony for any
person to threaten to use violence tO
prevent another from entering into
any lawful vocation within the state
Any person found guilty would be sub
ject to Imprisonment for one year and
not over two years. The measure makes
it unlawful for one or more persons
to assemble at or near any place where
Il labor dispute occurs or exists and
attempt to tempt any person from en-
gaging in any lawful vocation.
Senator Johnson blamed labor unions
in defense. activities for paralyZing
strikes. The Senator acclaimed: IF
your boy or my boy wants to work he
should be permitted to do so without
being forced To pay tribute to some
individual or labor union" Mississippi

Accidents Rise As

Deaths Jump Eight Per Cent
In rs Industrial
States

Chicago ILNS)-Expending war
production is taking an increasing toll
of accidental deaths and injuries, as
foreseen by organized labor, safety ex-
perts and others.
With the United States passing
through the early stages of conversion
to all-out industrial war production III
1911, accidental deaths reported to
wOrkmen's compensation commissions
in 26 principal industrial states jumped
s per cent above the 1910 total, the
National Safety Council reported.
Compensation commissions in these
states received reports of 1881 acci.
dent deaths for 1941, compared with
1872 reported in 1910.
The largest increase in accidental
deaths was reported i'm Cinnecticut--
% in 1911 against 40 in 1910, an in
crease of 30 per cent.
Drops i'm Some States
Increases ranged downward from the
Connecticut figures to 9 per cent for
both Illinois and Minnesota. New York
one OF the outstanding industrial states
recorded Il 6 per cent drop. Other state
ports of accidental deaths in 1941 were
Georgia, per cent decrease; Vermont
IA per cent drop; West Virginia, Il
per cent decrease.
Ohio and Pennsylvania, two other
highly industrial states, both showed
increases. In Ohio there was Il per
cent increase in 1941 over 1910, from
OH deaths to 1851. Pennsylvania
reported > per cent increase-frOm

LabOr's Advice Sought

Opening the conference. Coy. Green
declared that the present war in many
respects is labor's war and that he
wanted the advice and assistance OF
labor in working out the details Of
Illinois participation in victory efforts
The things the nation is fighting
for today are the things that labor
has fought for during many years in
the past the governor pointed out.
This is a war between two competing
systems of economics, one in which
man is free and the other in which
man is a slave. We must win this war
to keep our own high standards Of
living and our superior working CON
dtions"
