Republicans May tumble
The Ball on Labor Laws
BY GEORGE ROCKWELL BROWN

week before the War Labor
Board that John L. Lewis has
more than 100000 in the in
ternational treasury of the
United Mine Workers.
EVILS has contributed money
~ in the past 10 President
Roosevelt's campaign funds.
Half a million at one crack,
He ought to be stopped from
contributing dime to any
body's campaign fund, Demo-
cratic or Republican.
So should all the other unions.
This is one law that this Con-
gress should enact, now.
But other tests are coming.
Bills will be offered again to
outlaw strikes in war indus
tries, and TO break up the racket
of the so-called feather bed"
regulations. under which two
men are required TO do the work
of one.
A custom barely eXcusable in
time of depression as a make
work eXpedient, has no place in
a wartime economy imperiled
by a manpower shortage.
A FEW courageous, conseTNa-
"A tive Democrats in the House
OF Representatives have been
carrying the ball in this effort
to put an end TO some of the
outrageous abuses OF which or
ganized labor has been guilty
as the pampered pet of the New
Deal left wing.
The closed shop, the check-of,
the maintenance of membership,
the collection Of eXorbitant in
itiation fees from the men eager
TO work for their government
the arrogant dogma of the labor
boss that an American citizen
cannot serve the Federal Union
unless he first pays tribute 10 a
labor union---all these abuses
are crying aloud for reform.
And nobody would be more
benefited by these reforms than
the rank and file Of the men and
women of the unions themselves.
John l.. Lewis should be pro-
hibited by law from contributing
one cent of the S6,000,000 in the
Mine Workers treasury TO help
to elect. or help to defeat, any
candidate for any office in this
country.
We don't let the corporations
do il.
We don't let Wall Street do IL.
Why should we let John L.
Lewis do it?
The Republican Party in Con-
gress will be under close scrutiny
as its labor policy unfolds.
And if this writer is any Judge
Of the significance of tell-taie
straws, it will bear plenty of
watching.

The Fifth Wheel

INSCRIBED by Senator Mcclellan "a fifth wheel on
- wagon" the National Youth Administration ought
certainly to be abolished outrageous piece Of
bureaucratic extravaganza especially the President
himself has urged cut to the bone of all nonwar
expenditures.
Senator Byrd testified before the joint congressional
economy committee that the NYA has more machine
training units than it has pupils in states"
He compared NYAs training program unfavorably
with that sponsored by the United States Office of Edu
cation, which has $4,000 tranees. The cost of this
program Senator Byrd said is S2912 month per ranee
compared with cost ranging from 1894 to $3.50
month per trainee under the NYA program.
L VEN Aubrey Williams, the director of the NYA, ad-
IL mitted it "depression-born" agency.
He virtually conceded the uselessness of the NYA
when he told the committee that unpleasant
truth that provided jobs for every one.
Then he made the extraordinary plea that the agency
should be continued Ito take up any postwar economic
slack"
There are 1916 NYA stations, with only $685.
youths
In word, the NYA is practically hollow.
1t is all generals and colonies and hardly any army
To continue such farce is absurdity
The National Youth Administration should be COM
bned with the United States Office of Education or be
abolished.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
There are disquieting
rumors at the Capitol that the
House Republicans, inflated by
their successes of last November
and decisions of 1914 grandeur.
are going to step very warily
in dealing with the problems of
organized labor during the two
years of this Congress.
In other words, that they are
not going to be out there swing

have grown up under the New
Deal TO today's coal strikes
dimensions of a national peril.
If these reports are true. and
these Republican beneficiaries of
a peoples disgust and wrath
undertake TO cater to the labor
vote in next years presidential
elections, they may, in their
folly, throw away prospects
that at the present moment APP
pear rather promising.
THERE is a disposition on the
Il part of some of these Repub-
Leans to feel that it was their

ship which almost gave them a
majority in the House of Rep
reSentatives.
This is sheer nonsense.

SeVenty-seventh Congress was
generally characterized by a

that would have got them no.

The people won the congress

Republican leadership of Con-
gress.
The test Of this enlarged Re-
publican House minority cannot
be avoided.
Already two labor bills of ma

duced-by a Democrat, Howard
w. Smith of Virginia.

Il labor unions from making

But there is in evidence a SEEM

DROFESSOR KRUGER has
Il reported 10 Dr. Ross T. Nc
Intire. surgeon general of the
United States Navy. that he has
found a method for diagnosing
influenza infection. as we'll as
for research on anti-inAuenza
vaccineS. as follows
Red blood cells of the human
body are washed and pre-
served in an ice chest. These
cells are taken from the body
of persons whose blood belongs
10 what is known as the 20"
group, according TO blood group
ing standards employed in blood
TRANSMISSION.
Now, If these red blood cells
are mixed with the blood serum
OF a person who has influenza
virus in the body, then the blood
cells and the invisible virus
particles get hooked together.
The result is that they form
dumped particles. and settle
down at the bottom of the fluid
IN the test tube.
Similar reaction occurs when
the anti-bodies. the chemicals
in the blood which fight influ-
enza virus. are mixed with the
red blood cells employed for the
test.
Professor Kruger states.
"The test may be adapted for
direction determination OF the
influenza virus and for rough
estimates of virus concentra-
tons In the body"

Test for Flu

Red Blood Cells Treated

International News service science Editor
A NEW rapid test for dag

beings is revealed in a United

The test was devised at the
naval laboratory research unit

at the University of California
in Berkeley by Commander
Prof. A. p. Kruger. noted bac-
teriologisf and his colleagues.
1t consists in a certain treat

Until now the tests for influ-
enza had to be made on mice.
They were not only long and eX-
pensive. but even uncertain.
Influenza. of the epidemic
variety, which has 10 be kept
out of the armed forces, is
caused by virus. something
smaller and less organized than
a disease germ. The virus does
not multiply itself in nutritious
soups or jellies as germs do. 1t

That has been the main diff

Speaker Tells Of
Growth of
DUPONT Company
Says local project of
great Importance in
war effort

Some day in history, this local
ity will become enShrined as the
seat of the most important indus
try in connection with World War
H." J. F. Sembower told members
of the Kennewick chamber of COM
merce this noon. Mr.. Sembower is
supervisor of training and rela-
tons for the dupont company
which has the nearby project I'M
der construction.
While Mr.. Sembower didn't 90
further into details concerning the
project, he did tell the clubmen
about the growth Of his company
since it was formed in 1905. In
that year, young dupont, a French
refugee in this country. a chem
list, attempted to buy some powder
at country store. The price and
quality set him to thinking about
explosives and, under the urging
of Jefferson, factory was started.
The company manufactured the
unbelievable quantity Of four mil
lion pounds Of powder for the
Civil war, for the Union, Now,
Mr.. Sembower stated, the COM
pany has two plants in operation
which produce more than twice
that amount each week. He said,
however, that the company, in
the light Of recent developments,
had almost decided to cease the
manufacture of explosives entirely
just before this war broke out. He
said that his company was al
ready manufacturing more than
10000 articles for civilian use and
had many, many more in all stag
es Of experimentation and devel-
opment.
Then came the discovery Of
TINT, then collodion, then celluloid,
followed by the solid plastics, cell
lophane and the many other de-
rivatives Of coal especially drugs,
dyes, fabrics, such as rayon and
nylon, with their many uses for
civilians. Each of these develop
ments and discoveries was COM
mercialized, with attndant plant
engagements. H..:E...9
Then came orders for this prof.
ect. Now everything must give
way to speed and production. The
full and complete cooperation Of
the people Of this community will
help tremendously and the war
will be shortened to that extent,
