Doctor Gives Cancer
Warning

WASHINGTON - (AP) - Some
doctors sometimes mistake a cancer
for a p0n-malignant growth and
don't cut extensively enough in re-
moving it, a Boston cancer expert
says. Declaring that doctors, in
operating on any ambiguous"
growth-such as a lump they might
suspect of being only a benign
''wen"-should always keep the
possibility of cancer in mind, DR..
Grantley w. Taylor told reporters:
tits much better to do too much
surgery for benign condition than
to do too little for malignancy.
Chairman of the cancer committee
of the American College of Sur
geons which met here recently
Taylor said he was speaking of in
correct diagnosis of "sarcomas'-
that is, cancer that originates in
relation to mass" tissues, such as
muscles, tendons, bones, and be-
meath the skin. They are disting.
uished from "carcinomas"-or can
GERS that originate on the surface
of an organ or the surface of the
ducts" of an organ, such as in tht
breast.
He said a benign growth nigh
be compared to a chestnut (thougl
not necessarily of that size) where
as a sarcoma has surrounding off
shoots that might be compared t,
chestnut with the burrs still OF
it.
'If you just skin around tn
lump you feel" he said, something
''is left behind" in the case of
sarcoma-so that the condition ca
recur.
| Asserting that "your first chanc
of cure is your best chance" Tay
lor said that at Massachusetts Gen
eral Hospital the cure rate anon
original sarcomas is so percent
but only 25 perGent among san
cOmas that have recurred.

All eyes this spring will be on
the Consumers Price Index of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
index, which is a measure of liv-
ing costs, has dropped to 1908
from it's all-time peak of 174.5 last
August.
Since 1899 the average weekly
wage in manufacturing industries
has increased from $23.86 to $45.54
as of October 1948. The rise in the
wages of bituminous coal miners
has been perhaps the most spect-
acular-from $23.S8 a week in 1889
to $76.40 last October In terms of
real wages, however, the workers
have not improved their lot nearly
so much. The $54.54 which the
average factory worker was get
ting in October would buy no more
than $31.23 in 1889.
The Labor Department has fig
ured out that the average factory
worker, although receiving a raise
of 1881 per cent since 1889, has
gained only 800 per cent in pur.
chasing power. The bituminous
coal miners have increased theil
purchasing power 1872 per cent
But some other kinds of employ
es have done much worse. Broker
age house employees real wages
went up only 3.6 per cent. The rea
wages of employees of INSURANCE
firms hove dropped 14.9 per cent
i The Presidents Council of Econ
omic Advisers said in it's year-en,

GERS are still colled for in a mum
ber of instances where wages ar
substandard." But the council add
ed: Pushing for the highest pos

what It Means:
The Fourth Round
Pay Increase Demands
BY Clarke Beach

Washington-Wil spring bring
another round of wage Increases ?
Here are some of the questions
that have to be decided at the
conference tables
Workers representatives Will
ask:
Have raises up to cow met the
rise in the cost of the living?
Have they been enough to provide
the worker with his share of the
growing output per man per hour
made possible through technoiog-
ical and other advances?
Employers will ask:
Is business good enough and is
the outlook favorable enough to
Justify giving wage raises? If the
employees forced a raise, would in
dustry have to raise prices, thus
adding another turn to the rising
spiral of initiation? If prices could
not be raised for fear of losing
buyers, would employees have to be
laid off to keep the business on
profitable bosis?
C. I. O. economists, in the latest
issue of the C. I. o. News, already
have called for wage raises. One

While workmen demolished a

discovered a Roman marble altar

Steel Markets Show
Growing Uncertainty
AS Strike Threatens
SpeeioI Dispatch 10 The Stor

NEW YORK, July 1.-The
threatened strike in the steel in
dustry, now more than just sub
ject for speculation, is serving to
intensity uncertainty in the steel
markets, says Steel, the magazine
of the metal industries.
"Walkout Of the steelworkers
looms menacingly as result of the
deadlocking OF collective bargain
ing conferences between United
States Steel subsidiaries and the
United Steelworkers of America
(CIO). In event strike is called
189 companies and over 100000
workmen will be involved immedi-
ately. The number will increase
as contracts with other COM
panies expire.
whether there will be actual
work stoppage in the mills over
the next week or so still is uncer-
tain. The unions future course
will be determined July IL when
it's Wage Policy Committee meets.
However. under its contract with
the steel companies it can call a
strike in event there is no agree
ment on the issues raised by July
16. Steel says.
consequently, since United
States Steel has turned down the
unions demands a strike would
seem to be in the cards.
Still, the hope is held out that
President Truman may step in,
effect a meeting between industry
and union representatives aimed
at extending present collective
bargai~Dng conferences for so or
80 days during which time the
strike would be held in allegiance.
In view of deteriorating economic
conditions over recent months it
is believed by some trade au-
thorities the union would be
agreeable to such postponement
of action.
Meanwhile Steelmaking opera
tions last week slumped 20 POINTS
to only so per cent of rated ma
tional ingot capacity. This IS the
lowest rate recorded since mid
1916. Last weeks drop was due
chiefly to plant shutdoWns in OBJ
servance of the July 4 holiday, but
it also reflected mass vacations
in both steel producing and con-
suming plants. and slackening de-
mand for steel products generally.
