i HE National Labor Relations Board
has ordered bargaining election among
the foremen and other supervisory
groups of a Detroit automobile company.
This company is not part of General
Motors, but we are concerned with the
principles involved.
This confusing action by the Board
means that it is sanctioning and pro-
noting the unionization of management
personnel, in spite of the fact that the
National Labor Relations Act includes
as an employer &c. any person acting
in the interests of an employer directly
or indirectly"
We are sure that Congress did not
intend to approve unionization of man.
agement when it passed the Act.
The results if applied throughout indus
try would be bad for the management
groups involved, bad for industry, bad
for labor, bad for America.

Action Called For

When people have as deep conviction
about anything as we have about union
ling management, they ought to do
something about it.
II the meaning of the National Labor
Relations Act can be so confused as to
promote unionization of management.-
and thus impair the effectiveness of the
American production system of which
we are all so proud-then the meaning
ought to be cleared up.
General Motors believes - and hopes
others will feel the same-that it is a
patriotic duty, a duty to the foremen, to
industry, to labor, and to the public as
Whole-to oppose the unionization of
management by every proper and law
full means.
That is our intention.

Bad for America

The removal of foremen from their
present position as vital, integral part
of management would require reorgani-
cation of factory management on basis
far more complicated and decidedly less
effective. Necessary factory discipline
would suffer, worker efficiency would
be impaired.
We believe the effect on you-on the
public as whole-would be very real.
It would interfere with the war effort.
It would make war materials cost more.
It would slow up postwar reconversion
to civilian production.
It would delay adequate postwar output
OF cars, refrigerators, ranges, furniture
ali the things people need so much and
have waited for so long,.
Finally-and, in the long run, perhaps
most important of all-it would so in
crease production costs as to boost
prices and the cost of living, and make
the problem of reasonably full employ
ment much more difficult.

agement and labor can work harmoni-
ously together in large organizations.
Much is said these days about coopera-

It is our firm, sincere belief that loss

Bad Diet
Leads 10
Tooth Decay
by HERMAN BUNDEsENp NJ. D

By HERMAN BUNDESEN. NJ.
ACCORDING to Doctor E. Bro
die Carpenter Of England, the in
PRODUCTION Of bad eating habits Is
generally responsible for dental
carries or tooth decay. In fact, he
believes that diet in itself IS the
main factor in the production Of
tooth decay, although there are
many who do not accept this
theory.
Il is true that the teeth, when
they come through the gums, may
contain tiny pits or cracks IN
which food may lodge and help TO
bring on trouble but this, he be-
loves, is only a minor factor.
Nature of Saliva
The nature Of the saliva or the
secretion from the salivary glands
is also important in dental cares.
Saliva has been called natures
prescription for oral hygiene. Il
is important as a cleanser Of the
teeth. There is a popular belief
that teeth decay because the saliva
becomes acid and thus eats into
the teeth.
As a protection against this ae-
ton, more liberal intake Of such
minerals as calcium or lime and
phosphorus has been recommend
ed BY many dentists, but increase
Of these minerals in the diet has
not led to any great reduction in
tooth decay.
Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning Of the teeth is
undoubtedly important in helping
to prevent decay, but this is not
the sole answer to the problem.
The introduction Of fnely-milled
-four and sugar into the diet in
place Of unmilled cereals means
that the cleansing action of the
foods is lessened, This may be one
Of the dietary factors responsible
for the increase in carries.
According TO Doctor Carpenter,
whole-grain bread benefits the
teeth in two ways. Mechanically it
helps to clean the teeth, and he
vitamins and minerals in the bread
may have a protective action.
Sugar and highly-milled cereals
have a tendency TO stick TO the
teeth and, when bits Of these ma
terials are acted on by germs,
acids may be produced which
damage the teeth and lead to
carries.
School Studied
In a certain school, Doctor Car
penter took care of the teeth Of the
children. In the year 1889, most Of
the children had more than two
cavities. In that year, he insti-
tuted a program for care of the
teeth, but no improvement oc-
CURED until 1914. He believes that
most of the improvement devel-
oped because the amount Of vege-
tables in the diet was increased.
The children were given plenty
Of lettuce, raw carrots, and raw
salad at least once a week. OF
course, one experiment of this
type does not definitely prove the
point, but it would appear hat the
use Of a well-balanced diet is an
important factor in the prevention
of tooth decay.
