LABOR, HOSPITALS
AN OUTLINE OF
HEALTH NEEDS
CLINTON S. GODLEN
Assistant to the President, United

Steel Workers of America, CLIO,
Member Commission on Hospital Care
Because a working man is entirely
dependent on his hourly wages, med
ical care is one of his most vital prob
lens. In sickness, the worker faces
the awful trinity of personal pain,
overwhelming doctor and hospital
bills, and stoppage of income.
Many working people who are not
| flat on their backs are none the less
sick while they try to pursue their
normal occupational and family activ-
titles. Their chronic disease and phys
ical impairments could be cured, and
should be, for the sake of themselves
and society.
When America accepts the full re-
sponsibility of the peoples health, we
can make a full claim to being a civil
lied nation. The individual citizens
health is not alone his personal affair;
it is the public's concern.
Every informed person knows that
low-wage families have two to three
times as much sickness as those with
adequate incomes, yet they get only
one-third as much medical care. To
talk about free medical care or charity
service is sheerest nonsense-an idea
on level with medieval alchemy for
treatment of disease.
! No one can claim that adequate
people will "cost too much" 1t is
far more costly to permit sickness to
ravage our people constantly. This
is true not only in terms of personal
pain and suffering, but also in terms
of dollars and cents cost to business
and government
Every person woh is acquainted
with modern disqualification is amazed
at the marvels of service and science
that is rendered to those who are
lucky enough to get in. We may look
for continued improvement in the care
and therapy of the patient, but the
real area for rapid expansion and i'm
provide the means to keep everyone
healthy.
The cost of needed disqualification
is beyond the means of the great bulk
of our poulation. Therefore, the CLIO
is strongly convinced that only uni
versal prepayment plan can provide
the accessibility of hospitals to every
on-regardless of race, religion,
sex or economic condition.
We vigorously support the health

MOVIE STUDIOS
SURROUNDED BY
PICKET LINES

| YWOOD-Picket lines around
Hollywood film studios and hundreds
of movie theaters are growing as an
aroused American labor movement
realizes that the basic issue in the
critical Hollywood film industry strike
| is whether there shall be trade union
democracy controlled by membership
or company unionism dominated by a
sinister alliance between producer
bosses and their complaint labor
stooges.
Fourteen American Federation Of
Labor unions and one Independent un-
ion are involved directly in the strike.
Because the real issue strikes at the
heart of the American labor move
ment, and because the film industry
is being used as a guinea pig by its
controlling big business interest to
test whether labor will fight to keep
gains achieved since 1888, many other
unions are giving active support to
the strike.
The strike was called on March IL,
1874, when rs studio set decorators
exercised their legal right under the
Wagner Act and cast a solid majority
vote to choose the Screen Set Design
ers Local 1927 as their bargaining
agent The producers refused to bar
gain, even though they had a previous
ly established contract with the decor
ators and after WLB decision had
ordered them to bargain with Local
1921.
AT this point the producers called
the reactionary leadership of the
IATSE international Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employes) into the
picture, and then raised the loud cry
of "jurisdictional dispute" 1t was
clever trick, confusing a lot of people
both in and out of the labor move
ment. $50 ro5-.5fg tsas9
The IATSE, with its smelly Bioff-
Browne tradition of leadership re-
sponded to the call of the studio
bosses. The producers flooded the
nation with plaintive cries that they
were caught in the middle" the in
nocent victims of another jurisdiction

WALLA WALLA TO
GET POWER FROM
BONNEVILLE
Walla Walla Electric Coop
Organized to Fight Power
Trust; News of Organization
Followed Immediately by
Cut in Power Rates.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. (CLNS)-
A new cooperative electric associa
ton has been organized to serve mem
bers in Walla Walla and College Place
as soon as distribution lines can be
constructed. The cooperative was or
ganized after years of failure to secure
adjustments in power rates for Walla
rates was announced by the utility
Immediately following organization of
the cooperative.
The organizing committee of the
cooperative has authorized prelimi-
nary steps to be taken for signing a
twenty-year contract whit the Bonnie
vile Power Administration for the
purchase of Bonneville power which
will be delivered at the Bonneville
station just west of Walla Walla and
distributed by the co-operatives from
that point
The name Walla Walla Electric Co.
operative Inc. was approved by the
organizing committee which elected
Charles Baker, manager of Pacific
Supply Cooperative, as temporary
chairman.
A membership fee was fixed at one
dollar both for individual and COM
mercial members of the cooperative
which will supply power to members
only. The cooperative group will
raise 100000 as the initial cost of
constructing distribution lines to 600
members in three sections of the city
Later, 1t is planned, the lines will be
extended in order to reach members
in all parts of Walla Walla and Col
lege Place. Construction work will
get under way as soon as materials
and manpower are available.
The Pacific Power and Light Com
pany which is now supplying this area
has just announced a slash in electric
light power rates. The rate cut was
not substantial enough however to
postpone action on the part of the
coop mebmers who are driving for
ward with their project
The average rate to be paid by the |
cooperative members will be approx
nately twenty per cent under the new
power company rates not including
The estimated rs to 80 per cent further
savings to be expected by members
1ue to earning which will be credited
% their account.
The differential in residential rates
would be increased in case of home
heating by electricity, with the aver
ige saving in such case being approx
nately thirty-five per cent

LEADERS
WRITELETTER
TO BILBO

NEW YORK. (WDL)-In a letter
to Senator Bilbo, seven noted labor
leaders including A. Philip Randolph,
David Dubinsky and Adolph Held told
the Mississippi senator that Richard
Wright's photographer novel Black
Boy" which the senator had de-
nouncced, SIS an unvarnished picture
of what poverty and discrimination
can do to the minds and souls Of de-
cent people"
Reminding the senator that Missis-
sippi has the lowest average educa-
tional attainment of any state in the
Union. the labef leaders suggested
that INSTEAD of spending your time
fighting the FEPC, you had better
spend your time improving the condi-
lions of your fellow citizens in Mis-
sissippi"
1--WE do not hate you" the letter
concluded "Your continued ranting
about the "Nigger" and the Jew and
the Catholic serves to remind us of
thine long road over which we have
come and also of what daily Geth-
semene the world would be II your
antiquated viewpoint would be preva-
lent. There is new stirring, even in
the White south today and you repre-
sent the past and not the future. The
future belongs to people of courage.
and social wisdom"
Those signing the letter in addition
to the presidents of the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters, International
Ladies Garment Workers Union and
Jewish Labor Committee, were Thorn
as II. Young, secretary of Building
Service Employees Union No. Bob,
William Wolpert, secretary, United
Hebrew Trades, Mazda Springer, Edu-
cational Director Local 1872, ILGWU,

Cotton Textile Market
Quiet Durinq Week
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 9.-The cotton
textile market was quiet during the
past week except for ALLEGATION of
scattered lots of print cloths and
some sheetings to the civilian trade
and fairly substantial print cloth
releases to the military services.
Output continued to decline be-
cause of lack of workers and disin-
clination of mills to pay overtime in
the face of pinched operating mar
gins. Trade sources expected the
price control extension bill now be-
fore Congress to provide a more
equitable treatment of mills and al
low for larger margin of profit.
Special inquiries during the week
included a quartermaster depot re-
quest for to 10 million yards of ap-
parel fabric for Philippine relief
needs.
In the wool goods market, official
sources denied that the 100 per cent
freeze on worsted goods would be
eased. Priority orders claimed most
mill output, cutting shipments to
converters for fall lines sharply
from a year ago.
Military requirements for the
fourth quarter were expected to be
about half third-quarter needs in
woolens, and equal to third quarter
in worsteds.
Rayon goods moved in small VOL
ume to converters. Manpower diff
ficulties and heavy backlog of mil
itary orders indicated that supplies
will not improve for the civilian
