IntervertebroI Disk ProtrUsion

between the bones will be mar
rowcd. Furthermore, there may
be some ovcrgrowth of the bone.
DR.. O'Conncll believes that, by
careful examination, it is possible
to make diagnosis and, even, to
determine exactly which area of
the spine is affected. This is done
by noting the location of the pain
and the location of other symp-
toms such as numbncss and ting
ling. The lower part Of the spine
is known as the sacrum. Just
above the sacrum are the lumbar
vcrtcbrac.
Where Protrusion Is
If the disk which has protrudcd
issbctwccn the last of the lumbar
vertebrate and the first sacral YER
zebra, there will be pain in the
sole and outer edge of the foot.
There may be some disturbance of
sensation in the sole of the foot.
There will be some bending Of
the lower part of spine to one or
the other side. There will also be
some difficulty in bending forward
with less trouble in bending back
ward.
The treatment of this type of
condition will depend on its sever
ity. If the pain is quite intense,
or If there is n great deal Of dis
ability, operation is usually ncccs-
sary. In milder cases, complete
rest for n time together with the
wearing of n supporting cast or
brace may bring relief

PAIN in the lower part of the
back and down the back Of the leg
are symptoms familiar to every
doctor. Formerly, physicians were
inclined to assign to this very
common affection common cause,
inflammation of one or other of
the structures in the region of the
spine, nerves, muscles, joints or
ligamcnts.
Standard treatment for innam-
nation, rest and the application
of heat, brought about recovery
in mild cases but, unfortunately,
severe cases did not improve under
this treatment.
Recently, according to DR.. John
f. a. O'Connell of England, evil
dcncc has been found which points
to another and very different cause
for many cases Of low back pain
and sciatica.
Disk Protrusion
Both Of these, he believes, may
be due to what is known as pro-
trusion of an intcrvcrtebral disk.
This simply means that one of the
little disks or cushions of cartilage
between the bones Of the spine
has come out of place.
In order to make diagnosis Of
protrusion of an intcrvcrtebral

copper mining and smelling
workers, about 25T6 of the total
number employed in the in
dustry, intensified their strike
action throughout the country
last week as federal conciliators
and a fact-finding board in Den

Two breaks in the employer
front aided the strikers when
A n conda a, employing 1000
workers in Montana, settled for
an 1914 % raise, and the Phelps
Dodge Copper Products Corp.
signed a new two-year contract
giving the same increase to
1000 workers in the company's
Los Angeles tube division, strike
bound for three months.
OPA Grants Increases
Even though many of the firms
continued to flatly refuse the
pay raises demanded by CIO
and AFL unions, the OPA last
week announced that it had
given increases in ceiling prices
for producers sales of brass mill
products averaging about IL
cent per pound. The increases
are necessary to assure full pro-

Toft Opposes
Health Bill

WASHINGTON, April g.
(LPA) - The Wagner-Murray.
Dingell Health Insurance Bill
started on its way through the
Senate last week with the Sen
ate Labor Committee suppress
ing attempts by Sen. Robert A.
Taft (R. Ohio) to disrupt the
hearings and then taking the
supporting testimony of Senator
Wagner ID. N. ", Pepper 3D.,
Fla } and Rep. Dingell 3D.,

Taft's clash with Chairman

UE Strike
Continues

PITTSBURGH, April 8
| HPA)-The CLOS complete
support and a $4,000 contri-
button from the United Steel
workers-CIO was pledged last
week to $4,000 striking mem
bers of the United Electrical,
Radio & Machine Workers-CIO
at Westinghouse Electric plants.
Hope for settlement of the H.
week old strike rose following
conference here between CIO
President Philip Murray and
Gwilym A. Price, president of
Westinghouse on March 81, how
ever the company cancelled its
union contract and notified en-
ployes that "all obligations un-
der the old contract, such as
maintenance of membership and
checkoff are no longer in force.
Ask Blanket Increase
The UR & RW has asked for a
blanket pay increase of 1914
cents an hour which the union
won from General Electric and
General Motors electrical divi-
sion. The company has made a
counter-off which it said
would average Isl cent an hour
but which the union contends
would amount to no more than
81 cents. Westinghouse refusal
to negotiate further on the wage
issue caused the withdrawal of
Federal Mediators Arthur S.
Meyer and William Davis.
Because the NLRB has certi-
fled certain UERW locals, in
stead of the national union, as
bargaining agent in some in
stances, the company, according
to union officials is hoping to
break the strike and the union
by attempting to make deals
with the individual locals. The
locals, however, could easily
frustrate these hopes by naming
as their negotiators national of
ficers of the union who have
been fighting for the 181z cents
