Rural Medical Service Hit
AS Grossly Inadequate

Cleveland, O. QLNS)- At the
present rate it will take more than
100 years to cover the nation with
adequate rural medical service,
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
told the American Medical Associa-
ton.
He said prepayment plans for
surgical and medical services, of
fered by state and county medical
societies, have reached less than l
per cent of the country people.
There are only 13 rural coopera-
tive health service associations, he
said, having a general member
ship.
"Many medical societies." he
went on, shave not looked with
favor on efforts by the general
run of farmers to apply the famil-
lar principles of cooperation to
their medical care problems. Farm
ers often find it hard to under
stand opposition to their efforts
along this line"

Cafeteria Union
Signs TIL Non
Communist Paper:

Washington (LPA) -. The day
after Labor Secretary Lewis B.
Schwellenbach told a House subcom-
mittee that he didn't think the
government should aid unions not
complying with the filing require
ments Of Taft-Hartley, the officers
of Local All, United Public Work
ers, filed Their financial records
and a set of non-Communist affida-
Wits. The locals membership is on
strike against the management of
public building cafeterias in Wash
ington.
Earlier last week Schwellenbach
had said he agreed with NLRB
General Counsel Robert Denham
that employers are free to bargain
with non-complying unions, but
this did not mean, he explained,
that the government should aid
such unions in bringing employers
to the bargaining table.
Before the same subcommittee
last week Abram Flaxer, president
OF UPW, refused to answer ques-
tions about alleged membership in
the Communist Party, as did local
president Richard Bancroft and
business agent Oliver Palmer. Ban
croft resigned as president Of the
local, while Palmer, as a trustee
of the union, signed the denial of
Communist affiliation. The action
of the local does not make it eligi-
bic for an NLRB certification cleo
tion, as national officers have not
yet complied.
Government Services, Inc, con-
cessionnaire for the restaurants in
federal office buildings whose
workers went on strike over
month ago, claims it has hired 1000
non-union workers and rehired 300
of the strikers since approximately
1400 workers walked out. These
would be eligible to vote in an
NLRB election.
Meanwhile a Detroit local Of UP
w has demanded that Flaxer and
other national officers also file
disclaimers, and that
they go on record against the Wal
lace third party. Flaxer was one
of the two executive board mem
bers who did not vote on the anti
third party resolution at last
board meeting.

Population Shifts Not
Great I'm Postwar Years

New York City-The National
Industrial Conference Board declar-
ed there has been little redistribu-
tion of population in the postwar
period contrary to the expectations
of many observers.
A major cause of the seeming
permanence Of the wartime shift
in population, according to the
board, has been the continuance of
a high level of economic activity.
Since more than so per cent of
migration in the postwar period
has been connected in some way
with employment, areas which re-
main highly industrialized attarct

AFT Repudiates Rival
Entertainers Union

New York City QLNS)-The ri
val "union" set up by Matt Shell
vel former administrator of the
American Guild of Variety Artists
has been repudiated by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, the AGVA
announced here. Shelvey is alleged
to have launched an organization
under a similar name last Decem-
Der in Philadelphia after he was
dismissed by the Associated Actors
and Artists of America, parent
body of all AFL entertainment
unions.
In letter to Paul Dullzell, presi-
dent of the international board of
the Four AS AFL President Will
liam Green said, "The American
Federation of Labor recognizes the
Associated Actors and Artists of
America is the only >. agency rep
resenting variety performers and
night-clug entertainers, including
circus and carnival entertainers.
The difference had its beginning.
last November, when Shelvey ask
ed for leave of absence on a plea
of sickness. The request was grant
ed and the Four A's AGVA exc
cutive committe was appointed to
operate the union in Shelvey's alb
sence. Subsequently the Four AS
charged the former administrator
with attempting to take over the
branch offices outside New York,
and dismissed him.
Shelvey has begun litigation in
the New York State Supreme
Court for an injunction to restrain
his successors from operating
AGVA.

Says Operators Don't Wont
To Use Money For Pensions

Washington (LPA)- Operators
of the soft coal industry showed
signs of the jitters this week as
President John l.. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers served no
tice on them that the union stands
ready 0 take independent action
if necessary" in its fight for pen
sions for miners.
Lewis sent the notice as a re-
suit of "A long deadlock within the
board of trustees which administ-
ers the miners Health and welfare
fund" That fund is financed by a
1Oc-a- ton royalty" on coal which
Lewis won in the last negotiations
with the operators.
The fund is already over the $40,-
.0CO,OC0 mark and, at the present
rate of coal production, will aver
age $60,0C0,O00 a year.
Last years agreement called for
creation of a pension system, to be
financed out of the fund. For
months in the meetings of the
board of trustees Lewis has been
pushing for a plan to give Sl00-
a-month pensions to retired min
ers who are over the age of 60
and have at least 20 years of serv-
ice.
Lewis contended the fund was
more than ample to cover such a
pension program, but the operators
representative on the board, Ezra
Van Horn, persistently stalled" on
the proposition and failed to make
any acceptable counter-proposal,
according to the union.
A spokesman of the UNIV de-
clared that "the owners strategy is
to delay and delay, let the fund
pile up, and then argue for re-
duction of royalties, but we won't
go for that"
In his letter to operators, fore
warning them of "independent" ac-
ton, Lewis pointed out that the
issue "now constitutes an outstand-
ing, unresolved dispute, national in
scope and character, affecting the
Of the contract and i'm
peding its fulfilment."
Does that mean a new strike in
the mines? Union officials wouldn't
say, and operators frantically con-
suited with each other in an effort
to "dope out" what Lewis next
move would be. 49,.
1t was generally agreed that a
walkout is not imminent, but that
if the operators continue stalling
and make no reasonable counter
the controversy would
reach the strike stage by spring,
by which time it is expected Lewis
will also have served new wage
demands.
