Will They Blame MT. Lewis For This?

Chicago (LPA)-"Apparent weak nesses in public health programs in the nations mining regions are deeply disturbing" Rear Admiral Joel T. Boone last week told the House of Delegates of the American Medical Assn. Boone headed the study of mine community health conditions under the contract signed with the govern ment by the United Mine Workers AFL last May.
 He said a survey proved that as a general rule coal mining communities are deficient in such essential meas ures as adequate water supply con- trols, proper disposal of sewage and garbage, reasonable safeguards against contamination from human and animal wastes, protection in food and milk handling, and insect and rodent con- trol measures" He took coal town doctors to task because they "have evi- denced very little interest in public health and preventive medicine

LaborPaperWins Battle To Break Court Injunction
Appellate Court Throws Out Restraining Order
 Against Publication

CHICAGO (LPA)-The nations labor press and all of American jour nalism won resounding victory over censorship by injunction here last week when the Illinois Appellate Court threw out an injunction against union publication.

Industrial Relations
 Council Is Proposed

Washington (LPA)-As an after math of a us. Consolidation Service conference here last week on ways and means of averting strikes in public utilities, the Int'l Brother hood of Electrical WOrkers-AFL came out with a specific proposal for peace in the industry.
 The conference itself brought to- gether union and management leaders in the utility industry, and they issued a joint statement declaring that both sides recognize that our responsibil- ity to the public requires every effort to maintain industrial peace"
 The IBEW followed up with de- finite plan for achieving that objective It called for creating an industry council in the utility field as sort oi supreme court" to pass on disputes The details were outlined by A. l. Wegener, assistant to the president oi the IBEW, in radio talk.
 The council idea, he explained. has been operating successfully in electrical construction for over a quarter century and kept that i'm dustry free of strikes. It is far superior to arbitration machinery which, he said, doesn't always work because decisions are generally i, made ''by outside parties who are less familiar with the special prob lems involved than the people di. rNctIy cnncernedS g
 'In 1920 the IBEW and the Nat Electrical Contractors Association agreed to set up a Council on Indus trial Relations for the industry, Wegener related. "This Council ha: succeeded in bringing about industria peace. It operates as court of jus tice. It proceeds on the theory that arbitration involves compromise which leaves no one happy and frequently means merely splitting the difference between contending claims. But ths kind of judicial settlement which tht Council aims at is justice based or facts and principles. The Council al ways endeavors to get disputes settled at the local level before invoking { national decision.

English Machinists Win 44-Hour Week

London (LPA)-More than 1,000,- 900 English machine workers will start a hve-day 44-hour work week next year. A reduction in hours from 47 to A will be introduced without anv loss ill earnings.
 The new contract represents majo step towards the objective of a 40-hour week, and is in line with the policy of the Trades Union Congress to achieve the 40-hour week in two stages. Immediate introduction of the 40-hour week would, it is agreed, be impracticable in the face of serious manpower shortages. The new agree ment is expected to serve as a model for shipyard workers and other un- ions.

Electricians Offer Pan To Avoid Strikes I Public Utilities

Chicago attorneys who felt that the injunction was an outrageous suppress sion of freedom of the press, the un- ions victory was complete when the three-judge appeals court not only dismissed the injunction but also con demned Graber for setting himself Up as a censor of the unions newspaper.
 ''The injunction clearly consti- tutes previous restraint on pub licatiOn," said the decision. ''The continued publication of claimed untrue statements in union hand bills places defendants in fear and peril of contempt and fine and im- prisOnment. Therefore Judge Cra- Der becomes a judicial censor.''
 Emphasizing that freedom of press and speech are protected in the first amendment to the Constitution, the appeals court held that liberty of the press embraces newspapers, periodi- calls, pamphlets, leaflets, and, in its historic connotations, comprehends every sort of publication which af- lords a vehicle of information and opinion. The right of immunity from previous restraints (such as injunc- tionS) extends to the false and libel ouS as well as to the true"

Auto Union Pushes Insurance Plan

Milwaukee (LPA)-A workers in- surance plan, underwritten by leading insurance companies and giving the worker 6O@o of his earnings up to 52 weeks. for time lost for accident or sickness, was advanced last week by the United Auto Workers-AFL.
 After an extensive study which found the majority of present com pany-sponsored and controlled insur- ance plans wholly inadequate" the unions executive board evolved its own plan which in addition to the 6O@6 benefits would provide added payments for hospital care, doctor bills, and even maternity cases-all at group plan low cost.

s'The Council is made up of five representatives of the industry and five from the union.

 men and women had the protec- ton of statutory law in their basic democratic right to form and join organizations of their own free choice. Big business is determined to destroy this right. To accomplish this end, big business interests have, for the time at least, dropped their philosophy of laissez faire and have now maneuvered the govern ment into serving their fascist ends of using the government against the people and to strengthen the hands of corporate interests.

Benton Red Cross Aids
In Milk Distribution Plan

Children in Benton county
have no idea what scarcity of milk
means, for when they ask for a
glass they receive tin contrast
to the thousands of youngsters in
Europe who have gone without
during the war;" w. c. Sommers,
chairman of the Red Cross chapter
stated today.
To. combat the serious health
problem of undernOurished child
rem, the American Red Cross has
been conducting supplementary
milk feeding programs in six Eu-
ropean countries. (. The Red Cross
program provides school children
from six to IA years of age with a
pint of proceSsed milk daily until
the end of their school term. In
France $4,000 youngsters are
benefitting from this project; ST.
600 in Belgium; $4,000 in the
Netherlands; 10000 in Czecho-
slovakia; $4,000 in Finland; and
p 5000 in Norway, total of more
than $4,000 children. 'as- u W, ,..s.. a,e
"Our children would call a 225-
calorie milk punch and dab of
plain lard spread over bread un-
appetizing, but children in Austria
call this combination good" Mr..
Sommers continued.
The American Red Cross, where

reaches about 1890 undernOur-
ished children, tuberculosis pa
tients and pregnant and nursing
mothers through 20 hospitals and

DU RELY
I Official
By BALLOT BOX

Who said you have to wait to get
printing done these days!
Last week I told you about the
way the Lane campaign strategists
were handling publicity in the diff
ferent counties. 2 And now look
what's happened.
Walking up West Washington
Street on Tuesday morning, was
surprised to notice car bearing a
sticker that read-"Vote for Lacy,
Lane and Hammond" The thing
that tickled me was the fact that
this same car, up to the time of my
last weeks column had for weeks
been bearing 4 stjcker that read
Lane For GovernC1."
= j.
This column has reported many
strange political stories in the past,
but here's one that really takes the
cake.
A few weeks ago-before Lee Ell
gin was named campaign manager
for the TaWes ticket-he was talk
ing to a group of strong Lane sup
porters, outside Eakle's drug store
and kidding them quite bit about
their candidates chances. The talk
got round to the Lane campaign
strategists statement that their can
didate would get 80 per cent of the
Washington County voters in the
primary, and Elgin, pulling five
dollar bill from his pocket, offered
to wager that the prediction would
be wrong.
One of the Lane backers-and he
is right up at the top in the Lane
camp-leaned over, grabbed the five
spot from Lee and remarked:
Thanks Lee, I'll turn this over as
your contribution to the Lane Cam
paign fund" Elgin took the whole
thing as a joke, expecting that the
five spot would be returned to him
later on.
But here's what happened!
Last week-after Elgin had been
named campaign manager-he act
ually received a letter from the
treasurer of the Lane campaign,
thanking him for his contribution to
the Lane campaign fund!
Could it be that the Lane, cam
paign treasury is getting low, or
was it a deliberate attempt to en-
barrass Tawes and Elgin!

George Hicks Poem
To Be Published

To one local fisherman there are
more things to be caught on fishing
expedition than a string of fish.
George D. Hicks, local attorney,
with whom writing - both poetry
and prose - is a hobby, put down
his thoughts on fishing in verse, not
long ago, and sent them off to the
Hunting and Fishing Magazine"
The magazine snapped them up
like a mountain trout hitting one
of the fancier flies - Royal Coach
man, perhaps-and notified Mr..
Hicks by return mail that his poem,
'Fisherman's Luck" had been &C.
cepted and will appear in an early
issue.
Mr.. Hicks is former school teach
er and an ex-judge of the Juvenile
Court. He has written prolifcally
over the years, about the simple
beauties of everyday sights and
events, but though he has submitted
much of his material for criticism,
very little of it has been submitted
to periodicals for publication.
