lection to government insurance is
based on dollars and cents econ
omics was obvious when a proposal
came before the House of Dele
gates to give veterans insurance To
cover medical and hospital bills for
non-service connected disabilities.
This proposal is far closer to so
cialism than anything the Truman
Administration has proposed. The
insurance was to be paid entirely
by the government. In view of their
attitude on other government i'm
suranrc plans they might have been
expected to kill this proposal. But
instead they killed a proposal to
sidetrack 1t and sent it to a com
mittee with instructions to report
back at the next meeting. II was
obvious that the House wanted
action on this measure.
The answer is simple. The doc
tors are losing business to veter-
ans hospitals. This insurance plan
would let the veterans be treated
in civilian hospitals and the pay
ments for services would go to the
hospitals and to private doctors.

pay for IL years, puts the Ameri-
can manufacturers and their work
ers straight behind the eight-ball
A statement made by a Congress
man of Erie, Pa, who was one OF
the Congressional Committee, in
vestigating conditions in Puerto
Rico, to the effect that the pottery
workers were only working part
time, was probably referring to the
workers in the sewer pipe and tile
pottery who are on part time. The
Crane China, however, is working
as hours per week.
Word was received from Wash
ington that the Committee of which
President Duffy is member, has
recommended an increase of 25c
per hour for the pottery workers
there, which will, if o. KID. by the
Administrator of the Wages and
Hours Division of the Labor De-
partment in Washington, d. c.,
bring the workers wages up to a
SOC an hour minimum. We hope
this goes through because the re-
port is that through politics and
labor leaders, the workers have
been sold down the river so many
times that they are somewhat
skeptical of labor organizations. If
the increase is granted, it will
serve to increase the prestige of
the N. b. Of o. p. and give the
workers down there faith in our
organization because of our having
member of the N. b. of o. p.
