General Says Red Threats
Enforce Chile Mine Strike
By the Associated Press

SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct. 15.-A A
government spokesman said today
that Defense Minister Gen. Guiller-
mo Barros Tirado had reported
from the Chilean coal fields that
striking coal miners were disobeying
government back-to-work order
because they feared Communist
secret police organization.
The spokesman said Gen. Barros
called the secret police organiza-
ton "Cheka," one of the names
given the Russian secret police.
He announced that any members
of such an organization found keep
ing coal miners away from work
would be transported with their
families away from the coal fields.
The strike of 5000 coal miners,
which the government blames on
Communist agitation, entered its
18th day today, despite determined
government efforts to end it. The
miners say they want more pay and
the government says it has offered
wage increases of 80 to 40 per cent.
About 10 per cent of the United
States population was more than sc
wears old in 1910.

development and the cooperation
between the State Department of
Labor and the industry as factor
in the latter's growth are featured

LEGION'S STAND ON
LABOR LEGISLATION is
ASSAILED BY UNION

Chicago QLNS) = The Cook
County Council of the American
Legion, representing 400 posts
with over 100000 members, sharp
ly rebuked the legion's national
executive committee stand in favor
of compulsory arbitration of labor
disputes. The councils monthly
meeting also criticized the legion's
national employment committee
for urging Congress to enact legis-
lation against unions charging in
itiation fees, assessments or puni-
tive fines against veterans.
Noting til nat the American
Legion had for many years adj
monished and restricted its MEM
bers from participating in manage
ment-labor disputes, the Cook
County Council declared that by
subscribing to this type of legis-
lative action the legion would be
"going far afield of the prime fac
tors which justify our existence as
a veterans organization"
One of the most effective argu-
ments against the national execu-
tive committee stand was a letter

the need for State and local serv-
ices and for Federal cooperation
with them will continue for at
least another year and a half.
Authorization for the IRA will
expire on June 80 and no further
legislation for extension of the
agency beyond that date has been
introduced in Congress, and re-

BIosfs Proposed
Mediufion Board

Washington, d. c. - Voicing his
opposition to "super-duper"
mediation board, whether within
or without the Department of La
Dor, Secretary of Labor L. B.
Schwellenbach told nationwide
radio audience that labor and man.
agement can and will accept the
serious responsibilities of collec-
tive bargaining. Directing atten-
tion to the effective operations of
the U. S. Cancellation Service as
indicated in vastly improved ma
tional labor relations within the
past year, the Labor Secretary
added that a mediation board
would impede industrial peace.
"My own experience" he de-
clared, "has convinced me that the
job is not one to be done by a
board, because the solution of La
Dor disputes requires great flexi-
bility. Solutions cannot be reached
in an ivory tower. Every case is
different; the issues are different;
the personalities are different. 1t
requires different types of in
dividuals to handle different cases.
"No super-duper board can ham
die such a many-sided and compli-
Gated task, regardless of the char
acter, ability and experience of the
men who might be appointed to
such board. With the best will in
the world, board would find it.
self delayed by technical problems
which might prove a fatal handicap
to successful collective bargain
ing:"
The Secretary reminded his list
eners that an all-time high in per-
Torrance was reached by the Con-
ciliation Service in 1945 when over
$4,000 disputes were handled, with
referrals to the National War La
Dor Board or the National Labor
Relations Board for final action in
33 per cent of the cases. Today, he
said, the story is different. Labor
and management are again learn
ing to use the collective bargaining
process. AS we entered the new
year 1947 work stoppages were the |
lowest since VI Day.
"Unless a misjudge the calibre
and democratic purpose of labor
and management" he said, "they |
will meet their joint responsibility
coercion or compulsion
from our Government"

FIGHT FOR HEALTH

Would you like to live to the
age of $50? Can you imagine the
normal life span being twice as
long as it is now? Is man of 60
really a youngster?
at may sound paradoxical, but a
man of 60 or 70 is still young. He
has lived only half his natural life.
What we are accustomed to re-
gard as normal old age is actually
an abnormal, premature phenomen-
on."-So wrote the late DR.. A. A.
Bogomolets of the Russian Aca-
denny of Experimental Biology and
Pathology.
The Soviet doctor devoted years
to the study of the process of
growing old and the causes of
death. Thousands of cases of un-
usually long life, from 12O to $50
years, were discovered and investi-
gated. 1t was shown that most
animals reach their adult age in
from NJ to / IS of their expected
life span. Since men completes his
full growth between the ages of 20
and %, his average life expectancy
should be around $50 years.
Bogomolets believed that the
network of connective tissues
which hold together the bones and
muscles and which make up the
bulk Of many important organs, is
the all important part of the body
as far as growing old in concerned.
This connective tissue is the home
of huge numbers of special cells
which wander about, flocking to
the places where germs or cancer
cells or poisons or other destruc-
tive forces have attacked the body.
Here they help the rest of the
body's defenses kill off the invad-
ers and then they carry away all
the rubble of the battle, leaving
the area clean for recovery and re-
growth.
This connective tissue is believed
to play exactly the same role in
the normal wear and tear process
Of the body. The millions of ele-
ments that make up the body are
wearing out, dying and
being replaced anew in the dy-
mamie process of life. The body

Union Gets New


Announcement was made this
week by the international Execu-
tive Board of the United Automo-
bile Workers of America, affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor, Of the purchase Of a choice
piece of Milwaukee business prop
erty. A large two-story modern
building in the heart of the cream
city's downtown section figured in
the transaction.
The entire upper floor with ap-
proximately 5000 square feet Of
floor space will be used by the
International Union as the site of
its headquarters. Occupancy is
slated i'm about six months, thus
allowing full time for complete
re-decorating and renovation. Be
sides housing the offices of the In
ternational Officers, the Research
Educational, Editorial, Insurance
and Publicity Divisions of the
Union will be located in the build
ing.
The UAW-AFL headquarters
were moved to Milwaukee from
Detroit in January Of 1914 and
have been functioning from a
downtown office suite. With this
the UAW-AFL will take
its place with other prominent
labor organizations in owning real
estate providing for its central
offices.

stays young and alive, said Bogo-
molets, as long as it is able to
keep ahead of this wearing out
process. The connective tissue
cells act as scavengers or house
cleaners, clearing away the waste
materials that pile up from the
worn out tissues, and stimulating
the production of new tissue.
When these garbage collecting
and sanitation officers fail in their
duties the tissues get clogged up
with their own waste products and
are unable to reproduce or to be
repaired. Then, according to this
theory, the aging Of the body be-
gins.
Many day to day factors weaken
or destroy the power of the body's
protective mechanism. Diseases,
many of which modern science al
ready knows how to prevent, leave
their destructive mark. Prolonged
inactivity, bad eating habits, ex-
cessive use of tobacco and alcohol,
sex abuses-all have their effects
on--the vital organs of the body
and leave behind a weaker system
for the daily battle against time
and death.
DR.. Bogomolets' group further
insists that these internal factors
are not the only ones which can
and should be controlled. Social
and economic progress can elimin-
ate the other great groups of
causes of the weakening of the
body's resistance hunger, cold,
overwork, crowded living condi-
tions and insecurity.
Bogomolets and his co-workers
developed special preparation
called antireticular cyt o to xic
serum, or ACS, which is supposed
to stimulate all the connective tis-
sues of the body and thus increase
their ability to protect the body
against the wearing out of its
cells and against destructive invad-
ers. During the war ACS was wide
ly used by the Red Army for all
kinds of wounds, infections and
shock conditions with repeatedly
good results.
There are the glimmerings of
fresh approach to the problem of
early aging and death. The COM
bination of progress in medical
science and social gains may some
day prove to be the means of as
suring all men a full span of
healthy, productive life. There is
no real reason to accept any pres
ent day limitations. 1t can be true
that life begins at 40.

Plans Showdown
With Management

The membership of Local 1868,
Plantsville, Connecticut, after
hearing a report of it's Bargaining
Committee, voted as one man to
file a thirty-day strike notice.
Cause of the dispute is the refusal
of the management, the Blakeslee
Forging Company, to grant a we'll
deserved wage increase.
Crux Of the issue, in the Local
Unions opinion, is the attitude of
the new plant manager, whose flat
denial of the raise was seen as a
test of strength in the new regime.
With the filing of the strike vote,
the membership has demonstrated
that in the test it is likely to en-
erge the victor.
