AN ADDICT GIVES NATuRE
 A CHANCE

A young man writes:
 Doctor, I believe my ease is a remarkable one, as afn 0l years old, born in '6D. I sent for and re- ceived your booklet on the eonsti- patton habit. It has been { lifelong habit with me. I followed the ad. vice you give therein, waited four days and, just as you stated, nature then resumed control. For two months since the bowel function has been perfectly normal and [ have taken no physic or ''aid' of any description.
 The remarkable feature of the case Is that an apparently well edu- cated man could worry along for 50 many years enslaved to physic.
 It is human nature that this emancipated physic addict should feel that his case is remarkable.
 had 6 long letter the other day from a woman who described in minute detail three experiences she has had with unpleasant reactions due to her idiosyncrasy or hyper sensitivity to iodine. She seemed to think I should caution everybody about the use of iodine. Some per- sons are more sensitive to iodine, externally or internally, than others. But there is no evidence that any, body, whether he or she has any type of goitre or not, is seriously harmed by taking an iodine ration or by the regular use of iodized salt in place of ordinary salt. On the contrary, there is considerable evil dence that this practice tends to prevent goitre and saves many per- sons from serious goitre operations.
 The question of the use of Mild Tincture of Iodine (Tinctura lodi Mitis, U. s. p, which is the off, cial standard brown liquid especial ly intended for popular use as a first aid disinfectant for minor wounds or for painting the skin over swellings and the like, the iodine the druggist should dispense when any one asks for some iodine. Git is only about one-third tho strength of the Tincture of Iodine which should be reserved for the exclusive use of physicians and sur geans), has nothing to do with the question of physic slavery. I am re- minded of 1t here because the no- tions of the eminent specialist" about the danger" involved in get- ting the iodine required to main- tain health are as fanciful and in- founded as the everyday belief of that part of the public that the bowels simply will not function tn- less regulated" aided" or prod ded" more or less frequently or habitually by laxatives or mechan- ical devices. And the funny part of 1t is that when an occasional ptysic addict listens to reason and gets rid of his morbid fancieS he decides his case is remarkable.

Labor Press
Praised

BOSTON, Oct. 9 (FP)-Anti-
labor propaganda in the daily press
assumed dangerous proportions"
in the past year, the AFL eXecu-
tive council report noted, praising
labor newspapers for their effec-
tive work in countering labor
smears.
Departures from the no-strike
policy by individual unions not af-
filiated with the Amer lean Fedora
tion of Labor were seized upon as
a preteXt to defame and smear
the entire trade union movement,
the report said. Perhaps the most
vicious aspect of this campaign was
the attempt to inflame the minds
of the men in the armed forces of
the nation against organized
labor"
The campaign blaming labor for
widespread absenteeism which
swept the nation like wildfire was
thwarted by labor's magnificent
war production record and the
sober work of the labor press, it
said.
The labor press during the past
year served the cause of the ma
tons workers even more effec-
lively than ever BEFORE" said the
council, expressing its deep graft
tude to the bonafide labor press. F"

Texas Court Sets
Thomas TrioI
For Ocf. Is

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 9 (FP)-
Trial of Pres. r. ] Thomas of Unit
ed Auto Workers (CIO) and two
other CIO leaders on charges of
violating the Manford labor control
law, has been set for Oct. Is in
Judge Allie Peyton's county court
at-law here.
Thomas also must appear at a
state supreme court habeas corpus
hearing in Austin Oct. 20. He was
arrested Sept. %, for soliciting
members without a license at an
Oil Workers International Union
rally. He was released in $1,000
bond.
Thomas action was a deliberate
challenge of the constitutionality of
the statute-a law which leopard
ICES unions rights to organize. Out
come of the union leaders trial will
affect similar legislation in Colo
RADIO, Kansas, Alabama and Florida.
Backing the test case challenge
with political action, Texas labor
began simultaneously moves to de-
feat for reelection all legislators
who voted for the Manford labor
regulation bill.

Big Business
Wins Poll

NEW YORK (FP) - Fortune
magazine, big business house or
gan, has just finished poll on who
should run the country after the
war. And guess what? Big busi-
ness won.
Government should keep hands
off, this poll of the nations ex-
ecutives indicates. Also, there
should be plenty of "tax relief"
and less social security for work
ers.
OF those queried, 98.4%o are
against any government guarantee
of employment. Only 1887 be-
lieve that cradle-to- grave social Sc
curity is both economically pos
sible and desirable. But, Fortune
continues:
perhaps more striking than the
majority vote, however, is the ex-
pectation of some kind of direct
political action by the people
with more than 2-5 of the business
leaders predicting r-dominat-
ed third party"

Baltimore CIO
Workers

BALTIMORE-The Navy has
praised the UAW-CIO workers at
the Eastern Aircraft Division of
the General Motors Corp. here for
turning out "many hundreds" of
Navy planes during the past year.
Rear Admiral Ralph E. Dawson,
USN, acting chief CT the bureau of
aeronautics, in a congratulatory
message on the anniversary of the
test flight of the first Wildcat
fighter plane produced at the Balti-
more plant, said the union workers
had contributed much to Naval
aviation.
"In the twelve months which
have passed." Admiral Davidson
said, "the Eastern Aircraft Division
has built and had accepted by the
Navy many hundreds of Wildcat
fighter and Avenger torpedo
planes. This is a splendid record of
achievement and is the finest way
of backing the attack and making
it possible for the Navy's fliers to
bring quick end to the war.

management are determined to bet

Guilty of Taking
Money; Sergeant
Gets I8 Months

DETROIT (FP)--More queer
doings by army courtmartial were
recorded in nearby Selfridge Field
Oct. 3 when vastly different SEN
tences were handed out to a COM
missioned officer and an enlisted
man, though both offenders took
money in illegal ways.
Maj. George A. Hartford, army
air base intelligence officer, was
found guilty of stealing over $4O0
from the government by turning in
bills for phone and travel when he
had not incurred the expenditures.
He also was guilty of perjury.
The majors sentence was merely
discharge from the army.
Master Sgt. Myron B. Collins
was found guilty of fraudulent
transfers and taking bribes to ar
range the transfers from other sta
tions to Selfridge Field, Among
those whose transfer the court
martial scrutinized was that of
Benson Ford, grandson of Henry
and son of the late Edsel Ford. Col
Inns had accepted bribes amounting
to over S400. There was no testi-
mony that Ford had resorted to
bribery, however.
The enlisted mans sentence was
not only dishonorable discharge but
18 months prison at hard labor.

workers.
Mr.. Gosser called upon
those present to do all they
could to advance the candidacy of
Tom Burke and said that each
member of the organization should
constitute himself as a committee
of one to get out large vote for
the CIO candidate.
Burke Outlines Platform
Mr. Burke outlined his platform
for good government and told the
meeting he stood first and foremost
for honest government. He said
that labor should have full repre-
sentation on all public boards and
agencies and be given a voice in
government in accord with its size
and economic importance.
Emphasizing his belief in public
ownership of public utilities, Mr..
Burke stated that he hoped that
the time was not far distant when
all public utilities would be public
owned and operated, the same as
the water utilities. He promised
faithful attendance at all Council
meetings and said that he had
never missed meeting of the state
legislature during the two years he
was member of that body,
-. Burke said that he believed
t was the time to plan adequate
tic works for the postwar peri
cd and promised those at the meet
ing that he would advocate and
work for intelligent planning of
such public projects.
Stating that the war had caused
some slowing down of the public
services, he said that he would
try to maintain such services at
a high degree of efficiency and
that he would work in the interest
of maintaining administrative func-
tions at high level.
To Work for Burke
Those present talked over the
campaign and without exception
promised they would do all in their
power to aid Mr.. Burke's candidacy.
Approximately 40 shop chairmen
from various large plants in the
city were present at the meeting.

President r. J. Thomas who did
a very capable job of presiding
over the convention proceedings
was unanimously elected by the
convention which alternately cheer
ed and booed many of his decisions;
but which found him always ready
with an apt answer to the barbs
flung by some of the delegates
when the going got rough.
After being defeated by George
Adde's, Mr.. Leonard ran again
against Vice-President Richard
Frankensteen who had previously
been decisively defeated by Vice.
President Walter Reuther. Again
Mr.. Leonard was defeated, this
time by a much higher majority
than that which Secretary Treas
urer Adde's had been able to muster
against him.
Incentive Pay Issue
Most controversial issue of the
convention and the one upon which
the election of officers was be-
lieved TO depend was incentive pay.
A majority report favored by the
Reuther-Leonard forces was sub
mitted which in effect provided
that UAW-CIO Locals not oper-
ating under the incentive of piece
work pay plan could not institute
such a system.
The minority report which said
it did not favor the incentive pay
plan but wanted to leave the ques-
ton to the decision of the Locals
vas given the backing of the
Addes-Frankensteen group.
Every officer of the Interna-
tional was placed on record for or
against the incentive pay resolu-
ton, with Adde's and Frankensteen
advocating the minority report, and
Reuther and Leonard advocating
the majority report. President r. J.
Thomas took a middle-of-the-road
position.
Gosser for Majority Report
Regional Director Richard Cos
ser of Toledo spoke in favor of the
majority view stating that he
"came from a region thai is more
highly infested with piecework than
the entire international Union put
together" and said we fought for
nine years to eliminate piece work
and haven't been able to do it yet.
You put it up now, and our chill
dren's children won't be able to
eliminate it!
Incentive Pay Loses

report was put to the convention,
