Of very serious forest fires. The hazard does not
end with the summer months There ha been I'M
usually dry weather in various sections Of the

destruction by fire for some time to come
There seems to be rather widespread idea that

The Effects of Labor MONOPOLY

Senator Robertson of Virginia. who headed a
Senate banking and Currency Committee inquiry
INTO labor monopoly, in which special attention
was paid to the soft coal industry and recent
actions OF the United Mine Workers. has said
he adverse effects of union monopoly are re-
Elected IN higher costs of production higher prices
OF commodities or services furnished restrictions
on the supply of commodities or services irrepu-
larlty OF production, responsibility for the per
tcimance of a contract invasion Of the field Of
management excessive gains at the expense Of
the public generally Frequently, the higher costs
and prices promote the use of competing commodi-
ties or services, and therefore rduce employment in
the monopclized industry In short union mono
poly has the same general tendency as industrial
monopoly
That is sweeping Indictment, but every word
OF it has been justified time and time again by en-
ormousy powerful unions and their chiefs What
makes it especially interesting is that the unions
are now doing almost exactly what certain indus
trial and financial combinations did years and
these greedy practices would destroy free enter
interest, the anti trust statutes were framed and
passed.
Now labor which is exempt from the existing,
antitrust laws, is the offender. Mighty unons,
which are becoming one-man relationships can
tell the country whether sch vital commodities as
poly with vengeance. There can be no excuse for
delaying putting labor under the same laws that
govern business.

Not Up to Standard

Royal Air Force during the and was alter
wards in practice in England, has moved to Cali
fornia He has taken out his first citizenship pa
pers and he will practice in that state after go
ing through year of internship which is requir-
ed by law. And the reason he gave for this abrupt
change III his life is that, under England's so
cialized medical system, "it was physically i'm
possible for me to be coed doctor"
Ills experience was typical. He was treating
some $500 patients, under the panel system, and
the government had assigned him quota of 1000.
He said, there days when l 20 patients
in hour at the office, and on day / made SO
calls house calls" Commenting this the Port
land Orescnian said editorally, "Obvious1y there
was not tine for careful diagnosis, though many
patients had very MINOR ailments, and some were
hypochondriacs encouraged by free medicine
that is, unsupported care-to make unnecessary
calls. There time for research and study.
The young doctor knew that his work was not
up to recognized medical standards in this coun-
try"
Here is the great tragedy of socialized medi-
cine 1t is enormously costy-a dangerously
large part Of Brtians total governmental budget is
going to pay for it. 1t discourages and dsheart-
en- medical men, and especially the younger ones

cause dangerous decline in the standards Of care

behind the refusal of Congress to swallow the

The DEEP south SPEAKS

floor Of the Alabama senate made
bold to proclaim that they were
going to permit Negro citizens

state. And most folk in this area
Of the United States are forbid

participate in the practice of the
highest expression of Christian
fellowship. Here reorganization
is subtle and most effective. And
it is doubtful if any enlightened
person really wants to fight for
the Southern way Of life. Many
white and Negro boys did fight
to preserve the South's peroga-

spread its poison throughout

Just a little sober thinking

patriotic volunteers to staff its
