charter of freedom for doctors
themselves
"The court" he said, ''has held that
not only laymen but members of the
profession must be left free to ex-
pertinent with methods for the dis
tribution of medical care without
coercive influence from groups within
or without the profession determined
to preserve the status quo. This gives
those in the medical profession sin
cerely interested in meeting the eco
nomic problems which exist, an oppor-
tunity to do SO by voluntary coopera-
tive action with the profession"
''The hopelessness of the AMA's
cause was made clear by the des-
perate arguments of its lawyers.
They even tried to use an argument
which most ANA members abhore
that doctors are the same as day
or wage laborers and are thus pro-
tected by the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS anti.
injunction law written to prevent
injunctiOns against organized La.
borers.

More Auxiliaries
To Be Organized

ST. LOUIS.-Delegates to the sec
ond convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Women's Auxiliaries of
Labor have returned to their homes
to carry out the appeal of their newly
elected president, Mrs. Herman H.
Lowe, for organization of more aux
iliaries.
Calling for immediate formation of
new auxiliaries in locals, central labor
bodies and state declarations, Mrs.
Lowe said: Il cannot stress too
strongly the rapidly growing impor-
lance of our role in this great demo-
cratic country.
1--WE who are identified with the
AFL directly and through this mighty
organization of 100000 American
women profoundly realize that the
part we are destined to play goes even
beyond the union label; it will call
for our active, direct and consistent
participation in the nations welfare"

Workmen' Fund

WORCESTER, Mass.-Despite an
adverse decision of the state ballot
law commission, the Massachusetts
Federation of Labor will press its
fight to put the state fund for work.
mems compensation on the ballot this
fall.
Sustaining the charges of big insur-
ance companies which have been
spending thousands of dollars a day
fighting against the state fund, the
commission ruled that the petitions
circulated by the MIL did not con-
tain sufficient valid signatures. The
commission voided a number of sig
natures on technicalities.
Describing the commissions ruling
as unfair, the state federation pre-
pared to appeal to the governor and
secretary of state and possibly to ask
a review by the state supreme court.

Collective Bargaining Threatened By Wage Freezing Driu

Washington, ID. C. Con-
frOnted with the united oppO-
sitiOn of organized labor to
s'wage freezing the scheme
of certain government officials
and employers to prevent
wage increases met this week
with a number of setbacks,
according to the American
Federation of Labor. These
were:
/. The National War Labor
Board granted wage increases
of 10 to Is cents to $4,000
workers of five companies.
2. The War Production
Board in cooperation with
labor started the job of stand
ardizing aircraft workers
wages, which means increases
for aircraft workers getting
sub-standard pay.
3. The WLB opinion de.
clared, 'Wage sterilization
cannot be accomplished by
freezing existing wage rates. -
UNFAIR DISCRIMINATION
sST'he drive to stabilize wages
threatens to substitute decisions by
government boards for collective
bargaining and to freeze wages"
the American Federation of Labor
Monthly Survey this week states.
Pointing out that singh incomes
and profits are not yet bearing their
fair share of taxation" the scheme
to put lid on wages is unfair dis
elimination against labor" els this
a" plan to force labor into a sub
ordinate position i'm the American
nation?" the Survey asks. ssWhat
is the basis for thinking the million
aire will spend his income for anti
infiationary purposes and that wage
earners cannot be trusted? Are only
the rich to be allowed to manage
their lives and incomes?"
The Survey concludes its anal
ysis with the plea: ''Cive labor rep
resentatiOn with government agen-
cies. Government by executive
order is dangerous unless the voice
of the people is heard"
In the meantime the House Ways
and Means Committee rejected the
recommendations of President
Roosevelt and Secretary of the
Treasury MOrgenthGu that no citi-
zen be permitted to retain more
than $25, 900 of his yearly income.

State Labor Board
Can't Take Appeal

PITTSBURGH-In a precedent
setting anti-labor decision, the state
supreme court has denied the right of
the State Labor Relations Board to
appeal lower court decisions.
Ruling that unfair labor practice
cases can be appealed only by either
party in the dispute, the court held
that the board is a quasi-judicial
agency and not a party. The decision
says, in effect, that unions would have
to pay the cost of appealing adverse
rulings to the higher courts.

SIGNIFICANT MUCH"

The customary quiet about the situation in the Aleutan Islands has been maintained for more than
 week Officially, the Jap activities have been con- fined to Attu Agattu and Kska islands
 Hints of other activities contained in report received by Albert White, Juneau businessman from Senator Harold H Burton of Ohio, member of a special committee Investigating the national defense program He made trip through Alaska recently. His report says: supreme commendaton is due to the Army and Navy fers who have consist enty harassed the enemy and prevented any effect i've enemy program from extending much east of Kiska 9
 That much" is significant It could mean, and probably does that the Japs have not been altogether idle in recent weeks, that they have extended their activities and occupation to the east, least further than Kiska.
 This could mean that Japs Amchtka, Little Sitkin, even perhaps on Kanaga and Tanaga Islands If they would probably be surprisingly close to Aleutian bases from which we have sent land based fighter planes
 We have received repeated assurances that the Japs are not on the Prfblofs, and other places On the other hand we have heard reports that the in- vaders are on Amchitka, and Tanaga Island
 Perhaps these reports were unfounded. And per- haps Senator Burtons remark wasn't meant to be taken meaning that the Japs have advanced east of Kiska.
 If the Japs have advanced further it wouldn't do any harm to tell us about it. The Japs probably know where they are.
 Further excerpts from the Senator's report:
 'The value of Alaska to the Japanese for an of fensive base would be tremendous They must not gain foothold there Major benefits can be won by us in Alaska now at minimum cost. Our enemies

Significant fact, however, was that the tele- gram never was published in Vichy It is suspected that Laval signed Petain's name, and that the old Marshal knew nothing about it.

LITTLE BUSINESS CRUSADER

Donald Nelsons get tough" pol icy gets increasingly unfortunate reverberations. Part of this is be- cause Donald, nice as he is, and well liked as he is, just doesn't seem to have a knack for feeling the public pulse. e
 For instance, he should have known that the most popular man Tn Washington, as far as little busi- ness Is concerned, is Guy Holcomb head of the Justice Department $ Small Business Bureau. Yet Nelson ment and demanded that the At reached into the Justice Depart torney General fire Holcomb. The reaction against Nelson has beer bad.
 Nelson had no jurisdiction over the Justice Department, and it is unusual for one executive to reach into the affairs of an outside office However, Holcomb has been con- Sistently critical of WIPES failure to award war contracts to little business; his cracks got on Nelson's nerves, and he demanded that the Attorney General fire him.

keep peace in the official family Holcomb was permitted to resign
 Actually, Holcomb was hustline young businessman from Atlanta Georgia, who knew nothing about red tape, spurned bureaucracy ano went around saying exactly what he thought of people who seemed to be lying down on the job. Re- suit; He made lot of enemies but he got an awful lot done foi little business.
 For instance, he discovered that only three companies in the entire United States got all the contracts for putting boilers in merchant ships. Other companies were ig- nored even when they were much the lowest bidder. Holcomb jumped into this with both feet. Now little firms get a chance.
 In scores of other cases Holcomt went to bat for little business. But he stepped on too many peoples toes, so now little business is minus its best friend in Washington.

(New York Timesl


 Japans naval spokesman is certain Captain Hi- deo Hiraide. His function is to broadcast Japanese victories to the Japanese people He does not retail these victories he whoesales them In the early months Of the war his job easy and pleasant. Japanese victories were real and substantial, But last May the going began to get bit tougher. Since then Captain Hiraide's problems have multiplied be- cause he is not permitted either to admit to explain Japanese defeats Recent broadcasts sug- gest that Captain Hraide is in state of some tai anguish.
 He made the mistake of "annihating" the Ameri- can Navy in that attack. Naturally he was embal- rassed when the American Navy showed up again in the battle of the Coral Sea. Nevertheless, he met the issue bravely. He sent to the bottom many ships which were not even engaged encuding a British batleshp sunk at the unusual range of 1000 miles. Of course he claimed a great Japanese vic- tory, but this time he careful not to annhiate the American Navy. He merely reduced the United States to "a fourth-rate naval power" For a while Midway could be met only in shocked silence. Fin ally Captain Hiraide managed to finish off the last of the American plane-carrier fleet there
 It was disturbing therefore, to have American plane carriers appear in the Battle of the Solomons Captain Hiraide explained them new ones7 built since the beginning of the war-no mean feat for us, incidentally. The continuing battle however pro- vided him with several more of the customary Jap anese victories. The American Marines who some how remained on the island were going to be an- initiated" Later, he admitted they could not yet be completely annihilated' leaving at least part of them in possession of the Japanese base But he did definitely reduce the United States to "a third-rate naval power" Obviously two more such Japanese victories will reduce to first-rate power and Japan can expect some real trouble from us
 Think fast, Captain Hiraide

THE RUMOR: One of the Freu- hauf brothers in Detroit, who manufacturers trailers, gave his yacht to the Navy, but before doing so said he wanted to take it on a farewell cruise. He had no sooner got few hours offshore, however, when he received a peremptory de- mand from the Navy to return, after which Harry Hopkins and his new bride took over the yacht and sailed away on their honeymoon
 THE TRUTH: Harry Hopkins doesn't like yachting, gets seasick easily, spent his vacation in Con- necticut. Harry Freuhauf, inter- viewed by this columnist on the telephone, said: My brother did turn his yacht over to the Navy, but the arrangements were entirely amicable, and Harry Hopkins never was on 1t at any time or place.

 NOTE: Back in the Coolidge Hoover days one of the factors which upset prosperity was Andrew Melons thesis of not taxing big incomes much greater proportion ately than little incomes. Mellon believed in the trickle down sys- tenn, whereby spending in the big ger brackets trickled down below However, economists generally con- cured that it was concentration of wealth above and lack of purchas- ing power below which brought on the depression.
 Some observers believe the Senate Finance Committee and Andy Mel lon had the same general outlook On the committee, at any rate, are Millionaire Apple Grower Harry Byrd of Virginia; Millionaire Peter Gerry of Rhode Island; Millionaire Robert Taft of Ohio; Joe Guffey, who worked hand in glove with the Melons in Pittsburgh; Million aire Jim Davis of Pennsylvania and Conservatives Josiah Bailey of North Carolina, Walter George of Georgia, and Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan.
