PEOPLE on the Alert

THE decision by the House ways and means committee

great credit upon the committee.
1t also reflects the great power of public opinion
because it the vigant and vigorous objection of the
American people this unwse and unfair proposal which
compelled its rejection.
The committee is to be commended for thus accept

And also highly commended to Congress whole

Sane Advice to Labor
OTHE atmosphere would be better If both sides cut
i this out


i this out"
~zIIs means the brickbat throwing between labor
and capital
That sound piece of common-sense was uttered by
Eric Johnston the new president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce to both Philip Murray, head Of
the Go and William Green the leader of the AFL
Mr. Johnston is not only the first president Of the
United States Chamber Of Commerce to come from west
of Chicago he halls from Spokane but he the youngest
leader that the chamber has had, being only IA.
Mr. Johnston uttered some other aphorisms on which
all good Americans can agree They concurred in
BY both Messr Murray and Green which augurs well for
future peace in field in which there should never have
been any serious conflict.
= ONE of the remarks of this new blood in the
- national Chamber Of Commerce in his talks with
the labor officials are worth nationwide perusal They
are:
a lot of men have thought labor leaders horns.
l guess YOU thought the of But if get ac-
quainted work out what seemed insurmounable
II think we agree the principle of fair
profit for labor and industry You cant collect dues
from a sick industry You have union profits to pro-
tect And don't think labor wants Communist sys-
tenn any than does industry.
1--WE been in Russia and Germany, where labor gets
a shorter end of the deal than management Manage
ment still is driving the circus wagons there though
different printed them. Worlmen can't
change jobs"
THERE is here the outline of sane American post
i war program for labor and industrial management.
The has brought labor and capital very close
together
Indeed, they standing face to face-coser
than they have been before.
AS Mr. Johnston saws, they have discovered that
neither the worker nor the employer wears horns
They have solved their differences in AMERICAN
ISM and PRODUCTION FOR VICTORY.
When labor and capital reach that point in their
evolution where their interests ONE then,
indeed shall be far the way to complete reali
zation of what American democracy really
Mr. Johnston by his wise remarks has gone long
way toward that most desirable objective.

Many Hazards Still Exist
To Mar July 4+h Holiday
By DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

THE Fourth OF July is still a
Il day of some danger and in
spite of the long campaign by
the medical profession, constant
warnings 10 people of possible
dangers and the regulations i'm
posed by certain communities
against the sale of various fire
works, we still have death and
accident toll.
In fact. in 194l we had more
deaths than in 1910. There were
II deaths due 10 fireworks and
explosive injuries in 1871 as
against eight in 1910.
1t is true that this is an inn
proVcmcnt over other recent
years. There were - deaths in
1889. 1S in 1888 and 20 in 1887.
Deaths, however, are not the
only serious hazard.
In 194l there were nine people
who had a loss of vision IN one
or both eyes; there were al
people who had injuries to the
eye; II people lost either fin
ger or a hand or other members
and 81 people had some serious
internal injury.
TIIE most frequent cause of
L death in other years was
from lockjaw.
This has been almost entirely
eliminated, partly due TO the
fact that there are almost no
horses around any more and
tetanuS is an inhabitant of the
inteStines of horses.
There was one death from
tctanuS in 194l. This followed
eight days after a firecracker
wound in the leg.
TetanuS antltoXin adminiStra-
ton was given as soon as the
diagnosis was made but the pa
tlCnt died.
This is the usual history; if
the tctanuS antitoxin is not
given until the symptoms occur,
II seldom saves life.
The lesson again is TO use
tctanuS toXoid or antitoXin inn
mcdiately after the injury in the
case of any open firecracker
wound. no matter how trivial it
may seem.
ONCE more the lesson is evil
~ dent that communities in
which there is strict enforce
mcnt concerning the sale and
regulation of fireworks are those
in which Fourth of July injuries
are reduced TO a minimum.

little boys should have their
