The Boss

In his excellent book, "Tailors
Progress, Ben Stolberg describes
Sidney Hillman as follows:
"The story OF Sidney Hillman
among the cloakmakers is brief and
colorless. On arriving in New York
he went to live in the Henry st.
settlement and soon became the
white-haired boy OF the citys lead
ing social workers. such as Miss
Lillian d. Wald and Paul Kellogg,
the editor OF the Survey, the Of
fetal organ of organized benevol-
ence and undoubtedly the dullest
journal in Christendom The cloak
makers were left cold by Mr. Hill
mans personality. his associations
and his interests. They didn't know
that he was all about and didn't
care. And he in turn did not un.
derstand them he has always
been incapable OF dealing democrat
ically with ordinary workers. The
cloakmakers. who came 10 his OF.
fee with their innumerable com.
plants, were in the habit OF argu-
ing things out, usually at the top
Of their lungs. and with no brakes
on their language. To Hillman
they seemed uncouth, and to them
he seemed a complete outsider. To
this day the older cloakmakers
think of him not as a leader Of
labor but as a man who has risen
to the presidency OF the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers as one
might rise to the presidency OF the
National City Bank.
Not long ago | had a talk with
an old-time cloakmaker. We dis
cussed Hilman and compared him
with other labor leaders. particul-
arly David Dubinsky. I didn't re-
member much about Hillman,' he
said. AS chief clerk he acted like
he was some sort OF home relief
Investigator. We didn't bother
about him much. Besides. there's
no comparison between him and
Dubinsky. Dubinsky grew out Of
the movement and Hillman was
never in IL. He worked at pants
for a couple OF months and then
he became right away a statesman.
And what's become OF him since
then you know yourself II that's
labor leader, then I'm President
Roosevelt"
In another place Stolberg says:
9. To them a man like Sid
ney Hillman who talks like an ar.
ticle in the Survey Graphic" or
the New Republic, is an intel.
lectual. The exact opposite Is
true; Hillman has no background
in social theory, and merely dishes
out the patter Of so-called indus
trial craftsmanship
"Hillman is the perfect eX-
ample OF labor leader whose yen
for being a great public figure is
all out OF proportion TO the realities
OF his personal background and ca
pacities, and when he went 20
Washington as our leading labor
| statesman his ultimate failure was
a foregone conclusion ="
This is a labor experts study az
the Democratic party convention
OF Chicago. Sidney Hillman,
through all the mechanizations Of
his mind has had his wonderful
day. No longer did he need to play
the tiny games OF the petty par
ties No longer did he need 70

malaria. w tame OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
around Boston for an example be-
cause we have very complete re-
ports on that region. This area is
pre-eminently not a malarial
country. The weather is not con-
ducive TO the breeding Of the mos
quitoes which carry malaria, and
there are no extensive swamp
lands to furnish the ideal habitat
for the mosquito.
Under normal conditions within
historical times the incidence Of
malaria in Massachusetts, is al
most nil. In 1854, however, SOL
diers returning from the Civil War
who had been fighting and living
in southern climates raised the
malaria incidence in Massachu-
sets to high peak and furnished
a reservoir so that even the civil
population had some experience
with the disease.
After the Spanish American
War in the same region the same
results were noted, only in a more
marked degree. From 1915 to 1919
there was slight rise in the re-
ported incidence, due entirely to
sailors in the Marine Hospital.
Now returning soldiers from the
Pacific, Italy and Africa raise the
incidence anew.
Malaria Areas
In the whole area of the United
States we have in our own time
malaria always in Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and parts of the Gulf
States, though it is KEEP. pretty
we'll in control. In the memory Of
man living it used to be prevalent
farther north-in Arkansas, Ten
nessee, Missouri, Ohio and Ken
lucky. In fact it was the great
infectious disease which plagued
the early settlers in the westward
march. But the draining of the
swamps and idle water and mos
quito control has largely wiped it
out.
The men Of the armed forces
from the Pacific area are bringing
back some Of the worst complica-
tons Of the most malignant forms
of malaria.
The ordinary, usual form Of
malaria-chills and fever every
day (the aestivo-autumnal form),
or every other day (the tertian
form, or every fourth day (the
quatidan form) can be supposed
to be recognized by any medical
man But the queer forms may
prove a great puzzle in q non
malarial country when the physi-
clan is not on the alert TO suspect
every sick person of having some
form of malaria,
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1944-07-26
Types of Disease

There is, for instance, the coma
tose form when the patient begins
with an active delirium and sub
sides into a deep state of uncon-
seriousness, a coma. And the algid
form which presents a severe
acute digestive disturbance with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
There may be no actual chin in
either Of these forms. Or again
the haemorrhagic form with pass
ing of bloody urine (blackwater
fever), or bloody vomiting, etc.
Then the cachectic, or anemic
form with onset with great pros
tration and haemorrhage into the
retina of the eye and great de-
pletion Of the blood.
II is unlikely that malaria, par
ticularly the. malignant tropical
forms, will gain any foothold in
this country. Quinine is, as it has
always been, a sovereign remedy.
And our supply Of quinine, threat
ened early in the war by the Jap
anese occupation of Java, is now
apparently quite safe and abund-
ant, especially since the announce
