VISITING Nurse Policy


In The Star recently there was picture of
Mrs Scott with visiting nurse in attendance,
appealing, through the Community Chest, to
the public to give generously to support this
very worthwhile nursing society But the ar
tice failed to inform the public that only
patients of the medical society are entitled to
call upon this Visiting Nurse Society
Licensed accredited osteopathic physicians
are excluded from their services through rul-
ing of the medical board,
A member of my family was refused the
services of a visiting nurse because she was a
patient of an osteopathic physician. 1 wrote
to the medical society requesting an explana-
tion Of this arbitrary ruling, and they didn't
even have the courtesy to acknowledge recev-
ing my letter, let alone giving me the explana-
tion for which I had written.
I think it only fair to the public to inform it
OF this ruling of the medical society or board,
so there will be no misunderstanding as to who
can, or who cannot, avail themselves of the
services OF the visiting nurses, particularly
when the appeal to the general public is made
to contribute to this nursing society.

 ANNUAL PICNIC IN
 BOWL ON SUNDAY

Juneau Moose Lodge held it's an- nual picnic yesterday, with a crowd of at least 100 persons enjoying the beautiful weather in Evergreen Bowl late in the afternoon from about o'clock to ' o'clock
 Everyone from young to old had l wonderful tins, with races and games for all and prizes for the youngsters. There were sack races, egg and spoon races, nail driving contests and wheelbarrow races.
 Main event of the afternoon was a baseball game between the young sters and oldsters. Reports as to the outcome vary somewhat, but apparently the youngsters ended up in the lead of hard fought con- test.
 Picn!ckers were well provided with hot dogs, salad and ice cream, and L. V. Card brought cases of pop for the children. In charge of arrangements and program were Bob Ferguson, Arnold Hildre and Kell Larson, with Grant Baldwin acting as chief fireman.

Building Jobs Take Down
Trend Slump In JdnudrY

Although construction employ
ment in January was 25 per cent
below the 1916 peak of last Aug
ust, it was over 40 per cent above
the level of a year ago. The Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, U. S. De-
partment of Labor, reported that
seasonal down-trend in the build
ing trades reduced the number of
construction workers by $4,000,
as compared with December.
BIS estimated total construction
employment in January, including
central office and shop employees
as we'll as workers on the site, at
1,728,OO0. Construction expendi-
lures also were down, with almost
all branches Of the industry shar-
ing in the decline. Outlays for con-
struction during the month, in
cluding money spent for minor
building repairs, came to 1916 mil
lion, compared with more than
billion dollars in December 1916.

Rail Unions Warn
Prices Must Drop
Or Wages Jump

Washington.-Ra al lroad labor
chiefs met last week with Presi-
dent Truman's Council Of Eco
nomic Affairs and presented their
views on what they regard as the
most crucial problem confronting
the nation today-namely, that of
bringing wages and prices into
balance.
Members of the board were
clearly impressed. In fact, a we'll
known newspaper commentator re-
ported that Council members later
called upon President Truman,
voiced grave alarm over the sky
rocketing Of prices and told the
Chief Executive something must
be done to haul down excessive
prices if a crash is to be averted.
This was the second conference
between representatives of rail
labor and the Council. The latter
administers the Employment Act
of 1916" Under this law the gov
ernment undertakes To promote
"maximum employment, produc-
tion and purchasing power"
Spokesman For Railmen
The latest meeting, as well as
the first, was held at the Councils
invitation, and this time the main
subject Of discussion was the sit
uation as to wages, prices, profits
and consumer purchasing power.
In each instance, the postwar
planning committee of the Rail
way Labor Executives Association
carried the ball" for rail work
ers. This committee consists of
President George M. Harrison of
the Railway Clerks, President
Harry w. Fraser of the Conduc-
tors and President Harvey w.
Brown Of the Machinists. A. +.
Lyon, executive secretary Of the
association, joined in the parley.

Housewives To
Get More Sugar

Washington. - The clamor in
Congress for increased sugar sup
plies for the American housewife
apparently has brought results.
The International Emergency
Food Council, which divides the
worlds supply of scarce foods, has
allotted to this country for this
year 100000 short tons of sugar.
That is an increase of about II
pounds per capita over last year.
How the increase is to be dis
tributed has not yet been de-
termined.
Officials of these agencies who
did not wish to be identified said
that they expected" 10 pounds
would go to domestic consumers
and the balance to industrial
users. Housewives are now al
lowed 25 pounds a year per per-
son. Industrial users would get 80
per cent of their 1941 require
ments, instead of 60 per cent, as
at present.
Significantly, these increases are
precisely what had been recon-
mended by House committee
which investigated the sugar
shortage.

Union Hits Move
To Make Wagner
Act Equitable

Milwaukee (ILNS).-Writing ir
the current issue of the AFI
United Automobile Workers OF
America, Lester Washburn, inter.
national president, calls "the more
rabid axe-wielders who are advo-
eating scrapping the entire Wag-
ner Act" less dangerous, less
crafty and less cunning foes OF
labor than those who declare they
are interested only in amendments
to make tk act equitable"
"The latter realize that to come
out for complete elimination OF
the act would heap censure and
criticism on their heads from all
sources and defeat their ends ut
terly," Washburn editorializes
"But by asking only for Changes,
they see chance to SO cripple the
acts provisions as to make it a
liability to labor rather than an
asset. Thus, they would escape
condemnation from the general
public who might be fooled by the
sanctimonious avowals of equity
and react passively to the Changes
only propaganda whereas COM
plete scrapping would brew a
tempest not easily suppressed"
Vital Protection Given
"The act does not grant excess
sive privileges to labor" Wash
burn continues. at provides a
minimum amount of vital protec-
tion to workers. No one questions
industry's right to organize. The
various manufacturers associations
flourish without restraint. Isn't it
labor's birthright to enjoy a sim
liar privilege 2"

NLRB Cracks Back
At Bios Charges
Made BY Weirfon

Washington. - Anti union en-
ployers have been parading before
the House and Senate Labor Com
mittees, registering in many cases
the most fantastic kind of griev-
ances against organized labor and
the National Labor Relations
Board.
One of the loudest of such
critics was Earl Reed, attorney for
the Weirton Steel Company, which
has a long and malodorous record,
involving the use of violence and
terrorism, against the workers.
Reed went before the Senate
Labor Committee and submitted a
lot of serious charges against the
NLRB in connection with it's
handling of case against Weir
ton. His testimony was so sensa-
tional that the committee asked
the board to present it's side of the
story. 1t did-and how!
For one thing, the board en-
phatically denied Reeds claims
that it had shown "bias and
prejudice" in it's prosecution of the
Weirton firm. And to prove it's
point, the board quoted from a de-
cision of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals in the Weirton
case.
Before that court several years
ago Reed had made the same
charges that he now warmed
over" before the committee. And
the court threw them out, while at
the same time fully sustaining the
NLRB finding that the Weirton
concern had fagrantly violated the
Wagner Act.
In biting terms, that court de-
clared that Reeds charges were
simply a smokescreen, devised as
"a defense to charges of unfair
labor practices as to which no
other defense was available"
Under the court order, the Weir
ton firm was commander to stop
sponsoring a company union;
end a reign Of terror, which in
cluded violence and beatings of
employees exercising their legal
right to join unions," and halt
other forms of discrimination and
coercion against unionists.
However, the company refused
to comply and the board found it
necessary to start contempt pro-
ceedings, which are now pending
before a special master of the
court.
Reeds allegations, the board
said, are "an effort to divert at
tention from the merits of that
proceeding"
In other words, they are a "red
herring" designed to cover up the
fact that the Weirton firm is
notorious law violator, and has
been so found by the courts.

Buying Resistance
Grows As Prices
Of CIofhing Climb

Washington.-Further increases
in prices of mems clothing will
only intensity the growing "buy-
ing resistance" in the retail mar
ket.
This is the warning served on
the clothing industry by Jerome l.
Udell, of Max Udell & Sons, who
declared that while "the extraor-
dinary supply demand situation
continues to insure the steady sale
of suits to the consumer" there
are already evidences that the re-
sistance level is being reached"
Mr.. Udell said that prices of
mems suits have risen 12R per
cent since the end of price con-
trolls on mems clothing in Novem-
Der, fact which, he said, "refects
a commendable restraint on the
part of the industry" However, he
pointed out, with these increases
the price level has risen approx
mately 25 per cent since the early
part Of 1896"
