CONGRESS MUST ACT NOW

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO the Interstate commerce COM
- mission petoned Congress to allow the ICC to install
safety in aout effort to curb and curta the
needless railroad wrecks which have been sweeping the
nation
Apparently Congress busy considering other mat
ers such hamsrngng legitimate labor unions and their
memberships. Because Congress turned deaf the
ICC, and no safety measures were engineered.
Now look at the toll result of this dreadful error
The ICC investigated all types of train wrecks for the
past five years Just in headon collisions alone, that is
wrecks where train bumps another the figures
founding In this bracket there have been 80 wrecks each
of which killed ten persons and injured so
More than 200 other wrecks had fatalities of five
and in these ten injured One wreck alone
killed 70 persons major tragedy
That's not a very nice looking boxscore for the mil
lonare railroads who specialize in big billboard advertise
mens exhortng the people just coming from commercial
arromes ito try the railroads for safe riding next time
When person is killed in train wreck, that
sute serious accident The ICC considered 289 wrecks in
their analysis
Congress should wake up and do something about this
needless boodshed Instead of worrying about the best ways
to knife labor Congress- should consider the proposition that
all train passengers and wormen by law deserve the best
possible safety measures the railroads can afford

could have been replaced with goot
dwellings, for no more than the cost
of getting rid of Pretty Boy Floyt
or John Dillinger.
We pay, one way or another, foi
all of the evil conditions that we
permit to exist.
The Centralia mine explosion ex-
plosion cost a lot of money and
still more grief.
Worry over how to pay the fam
lily bills cost a lot every year in
unbalanced minds and in few
places we are equipped to treat un-
balanced minds. They just go on
and on, getting more and more un-
balanced.
In one state, with but one asylum
for insane, it is just about impos-
sible to get an admission until some
patient dies or is moved away.
Community Chests raise money
and city charities, maintained by
taxes, go on doing their best to
care for and help the needy and
the out-of-gear. They go no caring
for the wreckage caused by a So
ciety that doesn't pay enough at
tention to prevention.
Il Il Il
We even neglect accident pre-
vention, in spite of all of the ed
ucational work done by safety
councils, police departments and
schools. If factories, to a high de-
gree, have learned the prevention
lesson, homes have not, for homes
are still the most dangerous place
for the most people.
One single danger is the rat.
Our cities have too many rats and
rats are definitely not necessary.
They can be eradicated, but of
course if they were eradicated, then
rodent control" forces could be
cut and that is not desired by mem
bers of such forces.
We know that mosquitoes can be
eradicated and much is being done,
but not enough. Malaria is Il costly
disease and fatal to a frightful de-
gree. Why not get rid of all mos
quitoes?
Why not set up scientific bodies
to study prevention in every di-
rection? We should save thousands
of lives, prevent thousands of i'll
nesses and deformities and save
millions of dollars. 1t is too fam
tastic to look forward to PREVEN- |
TION INSTEAD OF CURE? Well,
at least it is something to urge
and to dream about.

| 1t seems strange that everyone

direction, including social, eco

dig in and get at causes, so that
there would be less to cure.
We have jaisl and we have slums

ditions from which to fill them.
We have all Of the paraphernalia

ty of perhaps a million persons
which has no facility whatever,
save for one small private "sani-

afford, for treating the victims of

What we call our civilization is
full of contradictions and loop
holes. 1t is the best civilization we
have ever known, but why not
make it better by paying more at

Until we do that we shall pay

Here some of the things the Taft bill would do to
unions and the workers rights:
1t prohibits the closed shop and restricts all other
forms of union security effect to impose the open shop
1t places countless obstacles in the way of union
organization and collective bargaining and gives employers
many devices to evade their obligations
1t denies workers the right to elect officers
their choosing, by providing that any union with any
officer against whom employers direct the red smear
shall be denied certfcatiOn for bargaining purposes.
1t promotes company unonsm, by giving the employ
er stooge outfits place the ballot and protecting them
against dsestablishment by the NLRB
1t breaks up industrial unions by separating "profes-
siona from manual workers and carving up bargaining
units along craft and other splinter lines.
1t denies supervisors and agricultural workers their
bargaining rights and makes unions subject to all sorts of
court suits and raids on their treasures.
1t restricts the right to strike in many WAYS revves
the antlabor injunction, facilitates strikebreaking and
creates unfair labor practices the part of unions
ready weapons for the unon-busting employer
