Corn You Eat
May Cost Fingers

WASHINGTON (LPA) - Il
you're in city where sweet corn
has been coming to market in
the new "packaged" form with
the two ends chopped off, you'll
want to know of this story, told
in the Labor Information Bull
letin of the Labor Department.
This tailoring" of the corn is
done in improvised sheds, using
Exceedingly dangerous power
driven machinery, or is some
times done with big butcher
knives. And the Labor Dept re-
ports that both 1947 and again
this. year, state labor inspectors
have found considerable numbers
of young children - some as
young as eight years old-operz
ating the machinery and WELD
ing the knives.
Even after warnings to opera
tors of the new industry were
given in 1947, the state inspec-
tors this year found, in one shed,
IL children under 16 still work
ing without certificates. One was
only IL. BY the time an inspec-
tor from the Wage-Hour Division
of the U. S. Labor Dept had ar
rived, the operators had moved
to another state.
The Labor Dept did not give
the name of the state involved,
but warned that this new indus
try is growing and is likely to
turn up in many states.

Mr.. Burke said that he will
advocate to retain sound
national fiscal policy; reduc-
ton of taxes without unbalanc-
ing the nations economy and
bringing a full measure of relief
to the low income families.
Financial Situation
The recent tax reduction failed
to take into consideration the
chaotic financial situation which
is developing in this nation, Mr..
Burke said, in announcing that
he proposes a reconsideration of
the tax situation with special
emphasis on its ability to meet
the needs of the defense pro-
gram.
Removal of tax inequities, re-
duction of the public debt as a
means of easing the burden on
the average income group, will
be one of his goals, Mr.. Burke
said.
Health Insurance
Studies over long period of
years bring strong evidence of
the need of system of health
insurance. Human lives, the
greatest resources of the nation
in peace or war, need conserva-
tion just as much as soil, farm
animals, forests or any of our
resources / am in favor of
system of health insurance which
will conserve lives and human
health through an insurance
system based on scientific ac-
tuarial figures" Mr.. Burke said.
Of TIL Law
"Labor-management relations
which have received the atten-
ion of Congress during its ses-
ion last year, need legislation
'ased on understanding and =
,ood will. Legislation conceived :
m hatred or fear cannot with
tand the test of time, which is
'ecoming more APPARENT as we
watch the Taft-Hartley Act un-
old its many angles. If I am
lected to Congress, shall work b

charge of the PAC program for
the UAW union also in addition
to regular duties.
! Walter MadrzykowSki who has
eXerience in PAC work will have
his new appointment in addition
to his regular duties as admins
trative assistant to Richard Cos
ser, also international UAW-CIO
vice president
The PAC movement was born
in Toledo with Gosser forming
the first organization in 1887. At
that time he served as chairman
of the Willys-Overland Unit. He
kept that group active until it
formed as the Political Action
Committee in 1912. Since then
the PAC has grown over the
country and today being nation
ally named as the CIO-PAC.
This group first attracted ma
tional attention in 1912 when
Gosser spirited the movement
during campaign to elect Mad
rzykowski and Thomas H. Burke
as Ohio State Representatives.
Despite it being a Republican
election year the two labor
candidates garnered over 10000
votes each. Since then Mr.. Burke
was elected city councilman and /
last year as vice mayor of To-
ledo and today is candidate to
congress on the Democratic h
ticket.
After Gosser was elected as
'egion 2-B UAW-CIO director ;
Madrzykowski, was eIecte d
chairman of the PAC in the To-
ledo area. The team work of the
'AC group locally proved that
an organization as such was {
leeded to help elect candidates t
rlendly to the working people. }

Bad Weather Reduces
Traffic Toll 10 II
On New Year S Eve
BY the Associated Press

The. Nations motorists appar-
emily steered away from wild driv-
ing in celebrating the arrival of
the New Year.
An unofficial survey across the
country today showed that II per-
sons were killed in traffic accidents
since 6 pm. New Years eve as COM
pared to 81 fatalities in the same
period on Christmas q week ago.
The violent death toll was 18, only
ona fatality not resulting from an
automobile accident.
The National Safety Council es-
timated that ITS persons may be
killed in traffic accidents in the 90
hour period ending at midnight to-
night. In the similar period on
Christmas the violent death toll was
288, including ITO in traffic mis-
haps and 100 from miscellaneous
causes. There were 116 violent
deaths in the 1947 New Years holi-
day, including 80 in motor accidents.
Inclement weather apparently
was big factor in holding down
the traffic toll. Driving was hazard
GUS in many sections of the country.
There was sleet, freezing rain and
ice-coated highways from Northern
rexas through Oklahoma and into
Missouri and Kansas and other parts
of the Midwest.
First reports on the toll showed
California leading with three trafic
fatalities. Illinois and New Hamp-
shire each reported two traffic
deaths. Illinois also reported third
