Green Pays High
Tribute To Public
Health Nurses

Washington, ID. c. - President
William Green extended the warm
fluctuations of the American
Federation of Labor to the public
health nurses of America in the
observance of Public Health Nurs-
ing Week, set for the week be-
ginning April 20.
In formal statement, Mr..
Green said:
"The week of April 20-26, 1947,
will be observed throughout the
Nation as Public Health Nursing
Week. At this time, tribute will
be paid to the public health nurses
of America-women who are con-
scientiously performing a vital
role in curing the sick as well
as preventing disease. The observ-
ance of the week is being spon-
sored by the National Organiza-
tion for Public Health Nursing
with the cooperation of other
groups including the Uni t e d
States Public Health Service.
"More than 10000 public health
nurses are employed in the United
States and territories by local,
State and national agencies. They
work for health departments,
boards Of education, and other Of
ficial agencies, and for nonofficial
organizations such as visiting
nurse associations, tuberculosis as
sociations, insurance companies
and industries.
s'But 10000 nurses are not
nearly sufficient to take care of
the needs of all the people. That
is why the aims of the observance
include encouraging more nurses
to enter the field of public health
nursing, interesting more high
school and college girls in choosing
public health nursing as a career,
and stimulating the development
Of organized health services in all
areas of the United States.
''Public health services of this
kind are of utmost value to the
American worker. The excellent
care given the sick is no less i'm
portant than the hygiene and
health habits taught by the
nurses at home, in the school and
in the factory, for the long-range
goal of the public health nurses is
a healthy America.
GAS President of the American
Federation of Labor, l wish sue
cess to the National Organization
for Public Health Nursing in their
worthy efforts to broaden and i'm
prove the services of the Public
Health Nurses to the people of
our Nation"

Recession Feared
BY Snyder Unless
Prices Are Cut

Washington, D. G. = Response
to President Truman's appeal to
business to slash prices has been
"here and there" with no indica-
tion of d general recognition of his
request. So far it seems to have
evoked Individual scattered reac-
tion, but Little concerted coopera-
ton.
This was the overall observa-
tion Of economic experts who care
fullyfully awaited the reaction of
business leaders to the Presidents
warning that prices must come
down or wages must rise.
Mr.. Truman's Council of Eco
nomic Advisors, at recent confer
ence with the President and his
Cabinet, warned that the threat Of
a recession has grown since the
first of the year and that immedi-
ate adjustment of key prices is inn
perative to avert a serious eco
nomic slump, it was learned.
1t was the Councils report, con-
tanned in a confidential memoran-
dunn to the President and discuss
ed in \ special Cabinet meeting,
that led Mr.. Truman, according to
inforced sources, is issue his urgent
call for voluntary price cuts by
business at his press conference
the following day.
The Cabinet agreed in principle
with the analysis presented by the
Council and showed differences
only on points of emphasis, it was
reported.
An even gloomier outlook than
that of the Council was presented
by Mariner S. Eccles, chairman of
the Federal Reserve Board, who
attended the meeting.
The price structure was ailing
and misshapen, the meeting was
told, and there was no remedy ex-
cept voluntary action in such key
industries as steel, automobiles
and building materials, in which
prices respond. more readily to
formal decisions than to supply
and demand.
The President was advised also
that voluntary price cuts to date
had been far from adequate. The
leaders in these cuts were, never
theless, praised for their pioneer
ing.
The President was also informed
of the sharply rising rate of pro-
fits. which was described in this
fashion:
Profits in 1916 were 80 percent
greater than in 1945. In the last

Wages Cause Of
Strikes In 7946,
US Figures Show

A full analysis of the causes
of strikes during 1916 was pub
lished this week by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics in the Depart
ment of Labor. In it were signifi-
cant facts that Congress would do
well to ponder.
For example, the report showed
clearly that the walkouts were not
due to "abuses" or "excesses" on
the part Of labor, but arose out of
fundamental economic causes.
"Wages were the outstanding
issue in work stoppages of 1896"
the Bureau stressed. problems of
maintaining or increasing take
home pay in the face of rising
prices were of primary concern"
Wages Chief Cause
Nearly half the stoppages were
due solely to that issue, but since
they involved some of the largest
plants, headed by the toughest en-
ployers, they caused 81.9 per cent
of all man-days lost by strikes last
year. Another 1874 per cent of the
losses came from strikes in which
wages and several other issues
were combined.
Thus, 95.3 of the toll taken by
strikes was due in whole or part
to the effort of workers to keep
up "take-home" pay which cata-
pulled after the war.
"UniOn Shop" Minor Issue
Disputes solely over the "closed"
or union" shop, which powerful
forces seek to outlaw, led to only
2.6 per cent of the strikes, but they
"were for the most part small" and
produced only IL of l per cent of
the aggregate 1916 strike losses.
This figure would be slightly high
or if it included those controversies
where the "union shop" was one
among other issues.
AS for jurisdictional and other
inter-union clashes, about which
SO much propaganda has been
spread, they took an even smaller
toll. Those controversies involved
only about ] per cent of the work
ers who struck in 1916 and "only
about 1920 of the total idleness,"
the Bureau declared.
80. ~

quarter of 1916 they were 80 per-
cent higher than in the year as a
whole. In the first quarter of this
year, ending March 81, profits
were 80 percent above the rate for
the last quarter of 1916.
Profits after taxes in January,
February and March of this year
were at an annual rate Of $15,0O0,-
0O0, COO, compared with 1916 level
of $4,000, 100000 and, on a COM
parable basis $7,O00,000,000 in
1929.
The danger, according to the
Councils statement, lay not in the
rising rate of profits over the
years, since national income had
also risen, but in the tendency of
profits to outstrip buying power
on the incline. AS result of ris-
ing prices, purchasing power was
dropping but profits mounting, it
was said.

TerrOrists
Kidnap Judge
In Tel-Ayiy
(By The Associated Pr~ss,

JERUSALEM, Jan. 27-The
kidnapping of a second British
officer in the last "a hours has
stirred British troops into inten-
styling their efforts to appre-
bend Jewish terrorists, who are
blamed for the crimes.
Early this morning Ralph
Windham, president of the Brit
ish court in Tel-Aviv, was kid
mapped, and, up to late this after
noon, no trace of him had been
found.
1t is believed the kidnappings
resulted from the announced de-
termination of British authorities
to hang terrorist, convicted of
participating in a bomb explo-
sion, tomorrow morning.
H. l Collins, a former British
major. kidnapped yesterday, may
be killed in reprisal if the ter
roist is hanged, and British
authorities said that Windham
may also be murdered by the
terroriSts if the hanging occurs.

Company To Bid
On Removing City
] Fire: Bell Weights

City Manager o. ]. S. Ellingson
said today that Joseph Doff, of
Interstate Tower Clock Co., Elm
hurst, NJ, Y, had informed him
this morning that the company
would submit a bid to the city
for replacing the weight-system
fire bell apparatus in the City
Hall, with an electric device.
The fire alarm bell is operated
by heavy weights directly over
the city managers office. Filing
son said Doff had never made
previous recommendation, to him
that the fire-bell' system should
be replaced.
Doff told The Citizen on Sat-
urday that the heavy weights
constituted a danger to the City
Hall rooms directly beneath the
tower.
City Mechanic Horace Averette
said this morning, however, that
the weights are only 900 pounds
heavy, instead of 1900 pounds, as
estimated by Doff, Averette also
said that he had inspected the
chain holding the weights and did
not believe that there would be
much damage if the weights
should fall.
IF they were to fall" he said,
they would be held by the cell
ing. All 900 pounds fell two
years ago and didn't break
through the floor. 1 just put 'em
back up"
Ellingson said the city would
Interstate's bid but as a
general rule, Key West purchases
all fire alarm apparatus from the
Gamewell Company of New Up
per Falls. Mass. Doff suggested
that a "celonoid", an electric
switch, replace the 900
pound weight apparatus.
