In labor-management relati

In labor-management relations
there never was another year like
1916.
It was packed with industrial
warfare that will be in the history
books written for our grandchildren.
It brought a turning point in pub
lie policy toward labor unions. The
Roosevelt era of official encourage
ment to unions appeared to be over.
The number Of strikers was the
largest yet. The amount OF lost
working time was nearly three
times that of any previous year.
America had its biggest strike
(steeD, its longest major auto
strike General Motors, worst
electrical equipment strike, two
worst maritime strikes, greatest dis-
ruption of coal mining.
There were blazing moments
when an angry President broke the
railroad strike and when John L.
Lewis was fined for contempt.
Nine Out Of 10 Settled.
. Not all workers and bosses were
at each others throats. Millions
lived in peace. The United States
Cancellation Service says nine out
of 10 negotiations between unions
and employers were settled without
work stoppage.
This could not change the fact
that the United States was hurt and
hurt badly.
No matter which side was to
blame in each dispute, two main
effects will be noted In the history
books:
1. Industrial warfare slowed tn

come up with this: The administra-
ton was making an effort, marked
by setbacks, to prevent either labor
or management from being stronger
than the Government.
Coal Crisis Called Symbol.
Some observers saw Mr.. Truman's
successful showdown with John L.
Lewis-when Mr.. Lewis called of
the coal strike December las the
symbol of the "end of an era" and
the start of a new policy.
Even without this, a year of con-
f1ict and d Republican election vic.
tory had signaled a change. :.
Whatever the President Ra try-
ing to do in 1916, he got no cooper
alton from Congress. Nor did he
agree with Congress in what ii
tried to do.
During the year he supported
three labor bills:
l.. One would delay each serious
strike while a fact lfinding boarc
studied the dispute and recommend
ed a settlement.
2. Later he proposed an enier-
gency bill that would outlaw any
strike with harsh penalties when
ever the Government seized the
properties.
8. The third bill would create 9
Senate House committee for a long
range examination Of labor policy.
Congress failed to adopt any o.
them. Instead 1t passed the Case
bill, containing a variety of restric.
tions on labor unions. The Presi.

VAS Medical
Setup Praised
Professional Han din 6
of Program Called
Key to Success
By Ro,Oland Epans, J.


"The modern miracle of medi-
cinep is what a committee OF top
fight medical men called the med
ical setup in the Veterans Ad-
ministration in a, report to Presi-
dent Truman.
A year ago the VA Department OF
Medicine and Surgery was estab-
lished by special act of Congress
DR.. Paul r. Hawley, former Army
chief surgeon in the European
theater, heads the department.
DR.. Paul Magnuson, formerly OF
Northwestern University Medical
School, one OF DR.. Hawley's tpr
aides, gives this reason for VAS
success:
VAS medical care is now in the
hands of the medical profession
In the old VA it was in the hands
of laymen."
DR.. Magnuson, DR.. Carl Mennin-
ger, a founder of the Menninger
Psychiatric Clinic, Topeka, Kans.
DR.. Donald Covalt, former chief OF
Army Air Forces rehabilitation;. Or
Roscoe j. Miller, former dean OF
Northwestern Medical School, and
DR.. Daniel Blain, one Of the Ma
tion's leading psychiatrists, are a
few of the medical brains who a
year ago fashioned the framework
of the VA medical program.
To carry out his program, DR.
Hawley needed new hospitals and
competent doctors and nurses to
staff them.
100 Doctors Hired.
Same sta, ,ooo, 900 has been ap-
propriated for construction. That
sum was to build "A new hospitals
and editions to several existing
onee, but owing to the rising cost
of lxhor and materials, more money
Will be needed before completion
scheduled for 1850.
VA has hired 5000 full-time doc
tors and many more part-time con-
sultants In the past nine months
VA now has no hospitals in use,
% Of which are surplus Army and
Navy hospitals under temporary VA
operation.
These care for more than $4,000
patients. Another $4,000 veterans
reside in IL VA domiciliary homes
and 5000 in Federal and Army and
Navy hospitals.
In 1850 the patient load is ex-
pected to be $4,000 veterans. The
peak load won't be reached until
1875.
At present $4,000 veterans are
waiting to get into VA hospitals fol
treatment for nonservice-con
disabilities. Virtually all service
connected cases get immediate
treatment in VA hospitals or ir
private hospitals having contracts
with VA.

n Discussing the fquickened diplo-
matte activity between turkey and
her eastern neighbors this year
the current visit to Trans-Jordan OF
the Turkish permanent Undersecre-
tary for Foreign Affairs. Feridnn
Genial Erkim, and King Abdullah's
acceptance of an invitation to visit
Ankara-the sources outlined what
they described as a plan to take up
"the traditional ties existing from
Ottoman days" and cement them
into Middle East bloc bounded by
the Dardanelles, Afghanistan and
the Persian Gulf.
. All of the sources saids however,
that the project would be shelved
at once if Arab demands for revision
of the status of Alexandretta threat
ened to jeopardize Turkish sover-
eighty over the Sanjak.
The Sanjak of Alexandretta, called
by the Turks ''the Hatay" and which
comprises the port and its imme-
diate hinterlafd ON Turkeys south
eastern border with Syria, was lost
to Turkey in World War I when
Syria was freed from Ottoman rule
by the Allies.
The French mandate administra-
tion in Damascus negotiated the
regions return to Turkey in 1888.
Since that time the Syrians, sup
ported by sympathetic Arab neigh
bors and lately by the Arab League,
have campaigned for restoring the
land to Syria.
Turks Say Question Closed.
One Turkish informant said that
Turkey considers the question of
the Hatay as completely closed. The
population is Turkish and any at
tempt to rediscuss it would fall on
deaf ears at Ankara."
An official Syrian spokesman In
London declared that while Syria
and the Lebanon would welcome
an Arab entente allied with a young
and progressive nation like Turkey, .
! the question of the Sanjak would
have to be discussed.
One Of the main reasons for this
years re-establishment of diplomatic
relations between Syria, Lebanon
and Turkey, the spokesman said
was to open regular diplomatic
channels through which discussion
on Alexandretta could proceed.
To this Turkish source replied
that any suggestion of compromise
on the Sanjak would be sufficient
to rupture negotiations on Turkeys
Middle East plan.
Turkey, he said, had gone as far
as she could in offering all possible
port and communications facilities

Houston, Texas, November IL Especially The increasing
number Of college students in postwar America may be a
danger rather than an advantage, DIR. Walter A. Maier, prof
essor al Concordia Seminary in 81. Louis, declared here to-
day in a radio address broadcast internationally over the Luz
theran Hour. Pointing out that our campus population is
now 1000, 600, the aILtime high figure, and that experts
predict 3,OOO,OOO students within a few years, he asks the
churches 20 help put and keep Christ in American culture.
Nv ithout Him" the radio speaker maintained, sour univers-
tiles will produce clever infidels. A few days ago a student
was found dead in a North Carolina campus laboratory. He
had committed suicide, the coroner reported, by turning on
the gas jets used there in experiments; yet faculty officials
declared that he was the most brilliant student botanist we
ever had Two Of the worlds worst crimes Of kidnapping
were committed by students of the same college,

Christ which il produces, is still the only possible means Of
changing the sin-beni heart of man. All human proposaIs
which omit or contradict the regeneraiing influence Of the
Christian faith, can have no promise of success. he declared.
Churches that uphold the old, rugged cross and oppose the
new counterfeit cross of human deceit, offer the world the

Omaha Water
Is Among the
Nations Purest

Omaha water ranks among the
purest drinking water in the u. s.
The Journal of The American
Medical Association publishes each
| year a tabulation pertaining to
typhoid fever deaths in all the
cities in the country.
Ratings are based on deaths
from typhoid fever per 100000
population and the cities which
have no deaths are placed upon
the Honor Rolf.
Omaha had no typhoid deaths
during the year of 1915 and has
been placed on the Honor Roll.
The lateness of the citation was
due to an error Of tabulation since
corrected.
The greatest single reason for
the reduction and in our case eli
mination Of typhoid developes
from the quality and sterilization
of our water. Typhoid fever as
you know is spread mostly thru
impure water or contaminated
milk. T he use of clorine as a ster-
ilization agent is given most Of
the credit for the reduction in ty-
phoid deaths. Clorine is the prin-
cipa1 sterilization agent used in
water treatment for Omaha.
There is a small amount Of clo-
rine present in every drop of wa
ter supplied to the consumer, al
though the quantity never excedes
one part in one million parts of
water and is not noticeable in
most cases..

SPEECH
CULTURE
BY BEATRICE |. MORGAN

Lesson No. Six
GESTURES AND MANNERISMS
There can be no objection to
gestures when one is delivering a
speech, if it is not overdone. and
is simple and natural. A slight
lifting of the eyes, a tiny shrug
of the shoulders; such gestures as
these are very effective and i'm
pressive. 1t is never necessary to
pound on a table. to stomp your
feet, or point a finger at the per-
son to whom you speak.
Pleasant mannerisms are very
desirable. They will add person
atty, and will help to emphasize
what you say if they are natural
and sincere. It is well to practice
smiling a bit while you speak and
with resonance, that is, lifting
your voice at the end of each SEN
tence.
Do not muffle your words or
talk through your teeth. A person
who races on with sentence after
sentence, said SO hurriedly that
the listeners are not able to grasp
one idea before he is confronted
with another, surely is not an in
teresting or an agreeable speaker
and should begin to overcome
these faulty mannerisms.
One Of the most irritating eff
fects is a speaker who usually
prefixes each sentence with the
phrase "and so''. A habit of cough
ing, cropping for words, and clear
ing the throat, shows a form of
nervousness.
To these, practice to
speak slowly, carefully with ma
tural gestures. Thus alone will you
attain pleasing mannerisms.
Continued next week.
