New Type Diphtheria
Appears in Virginia
Stote Official Warns
Of Peril in Outbreak
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND. Va, Nov. 3O-vir.
ginia public health officials, after
aiding in the work of reducing
deaths from diphtheria from an all
time high of 463 in 1922 to an esti.
mated 40 for this year, see a poten-
tial threat in a severe strain of the
disease new to the State.
DR.. H. H. Henderson, epidemiolo-
gist OF the State Health Department
said several cases of diphtheria SIM
liar to the Gravis type found in GER
tain parts of Europe had been noted
in this State. There have been
only few sporadic cases so far he
said.
The Gravis strain, which first ap-
peared in North America in Nova
Scotia, does not lend itself to treat
ment as readily as the type usual
here. This strain is more prevalent
In the British Isles, Denmark and
Germany, and was not found in this
country until recently.
The incidence of the disease, DR.
Henderson said, is now reduced to
the point where the public is losing
sight OF the Importance of the i'm
munization procedure. Such an at
titude is dangerous, he added. Since
about Is per cent of individuals fail
to show a favorable response to i'm
munization, there does not appear
much chance of eradicating the
disease.

WLB Special Panel
Fixes Terms 10 Settle
Arnold Bus Dispute
Decision Held Secret
Until Submitted to
Officials in Atlanta

DR.. Paul Douglass, president of
American University and chairman
of special War Labor Board panel
which last week took evidence in a
labor dispute between the Arnold
Operated Bus Line and it's drivers,
said today that the panel has
reached an unanimous decision
which I believe will be satisfactory
to both Sides
The dispute, which resulted in a
one day tie-up of transportation
facilities on the Arnold lines in
nearby Virginia November 10, arose
over a demand by the union-Local
1919 of the AFL Amalgamated As
sociation of Street, Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees of
Amortization hour
wage increase and an alleged mis-
understanding as to whether a con-
tract between the company and the
union was still in force during ne
gotiations for new agreement. The
contract expired May 18.
DR.. Douglass said that the panel
could not release its recommends
tions until they have been received
by the regional WLB in Atlanta
He added that the WLB probably
would act on the case at once.
Meanwhile, meeting was being
called today by the union, and it
is expected that the Today truce
period granted when the drivers
returned to work will be extended
until the WLB acts on the case
o. B. Hiner, president OF the union
said the men would be advised to
extend the truce.
