Ior in what way" he adds,
medical science is making
such progress that there is
real cause for optimism.
Such striking progress has
been made in treatment during
the past ten years that only
about Is to Is per cent of polio
victims are now "left more or
less severely handicapped
forty to so per cent of the child
rem or adults who get the ILL
ness in recognizable form will
recover completely, or almost
completely, without any visible
evidence of paralysis" "
Scientific study of means for
preventing the disease has been
slower, Mr.. Blakeslee admits in
the 20-cent pamphlet POLIO
CAN BE CONQUERED, but he
lists number of recent develop
ments that appear to carry great
promise. Monkeys have been in
oculated against polio safely and
effectively, he points out. I'm
fortunately, the vaccine does not
protect the monkeys against all
strains of the virus and thus
could not offer satisfactory pro-
lection for humans.
Top scientists are cited as be-
lieving that a safe vaccine for
humans will someday be found.
The recent success of scientists
in almost completely purifying
one kind of polio virus should
hasten this day, Mr.. Blakeslee
declares.
Drugs and other chemicals
have been found" he reveals,
which tprotect mice against vir-
uses like the polio virus, or
which help the mice recover >
when they are given the vir'h
uses" So far, however, none has
been used successfully on hu-
mans.
Although little is known
about the way in which polio
spreads, the pamphlet carries a
number of tips for parents in
the event that infantile paraly-
sis breaks out in epidemic form
in their neighborhood. Parents
are urged to:
l. Watch for the symptoms
that may be weathervanes of
polio: a tired feeling, headache,
nausea, upset stomach, pains or
stiffness>0in the muscles, or a
fever A big part of the victory
in polio is immediate rest and
immediate treatment.
g.. Avoid crowds. There is no..
way of telling who has the
virus, who is becoming sick, or
who is, healthy, unaffected
carrier
3. Keep children from becom-
ing overtired or chilled.
4. Do not let children swim in
polluted waters. Attacks of polio
have followed after such ex-
periences.
5. Keep clean. Make sure that
children wash their hands be-
fore eating.
6. Keep garbage covered and
screen the house against flies.

is provided, should either party
refuse to bargain or show evil
dence of not bargaining in good
faith.
A mediator or panel of medi-
ators, appointed by the Secre-
tary of Labor, would attend all
bargaining sessions and report
to the President whenever either
party ceased to bargain in good
faith or refused to bargain at
all. A report also would be made
to the President at the end of
the 60-day period, or as soon as
an agreement were reached.
The 6O-day period is not a
cooling off period, Mr.. Burke
explained, because the nature of
the whole emergency dispute
clause assures the workers that
something is being done directly
on lHelI CdSS,
Keep EN- Talking"
The President may make re-
ports of the mediators public
and may, if no settlement is
reached at the end of go days,
make a report, with recommend
ations for action, to Congress.
The keep 'em talking" prin-
ciple on which the proposed Ma
tional Emergency clause is based
is similar to that of Toledo's La
bor- -Management-Citizens Com
mittee. Although the Toledo
Plan provides voluntary negotia-
tions and arbitration of differ
ences, its keep 'em talking
principle has cut work stoppages
and man-day losses sharply in
the Ohio city, Mr., Burke re-
ported,
No Stalling
Il have come to the conclu-
SION" Mr.. Burke continued,
"that no matter how great the
emergency, the government has
no justification for throwing its
weight and power in on the side
of either diSputant. The injunc-
ton presuppoSes that the union
is At fault and seizure preSup-
poses management guilt. Where
honest differences of opinion
exist, continued negotiations
eventually will effect a peace
full settlement and if either side
of the bargaining table is stall
ing, the presence of an impair
tial third party should deter
such tactics"
If Congress insists that gov
ernment take sides, before a
thorough investigation of a la
Dor dispute, Mr.. Burke declar-
ed, he will urge that it be au-
thorized to take the side of la
Dor and invoke seizure rather
than the injunction. Govern
ment has more justification for
throwing its weight on the side
of labor, he asserted, because
labor represents a greater num-
ber of persons and is in the
weaker position at the bargain
ing table.

Workers Bore The Brunt

Remember how it was back in the early part of this
year?
There were price reductions here and there and the

They saying, geefuy, that initiation had run It's
course that the normal readjustment under way and
that course the trend knocked the from under
union arguments for higher wages
Ah yes there were columns and columns of the stuff
and most of it sounded good.
You don't read anything about the downward price
trend these days-and for very good There isn't
any such thing.
Here the facts
The reduction in the cost Of living since the altme
peak Of last fall has amounted TO 3 slightly less This
decrease followed increase of 2 since the end OF the
There a downward trend" but it was in employ
ment, not in prices And there similar trend III pro-
duction.
Coupled with these the highest corporate dividend
payments in all history!
And here's what it all adds up to:
Workers who bore the brunt of nationary prices also
bore the brunt of the normal readusment. Instead OF
cutting prices the corporations cut production and employ
ment.
Despite recent improvements in the picture, there
about twice many out of jobs today there were
year ago
So, don't let anybody kid you about how much better
off wage earners are than they were last year.

Shudowboxer Dulles

John Foster Dulles, asking the people of New York to
return him to the Senate to fill the remainder of exSen
Robert f. Wagner's uneXpired term, says:
Modern society has complexities that require cooper
atve effort and would not undo most of what has been
done. From on, should seek what would help
the individual to seeXpesson and selfadvancement and
lifts burdens from his back"
The strong implication there is that Mr.. Dulles does not
believe that most Of what has been done" helps the nd
vdual to selfeXpessOn and sef-advancemen and lifts
burdens from his back"
Then why would Mr. Dulles whose heart bleeds for the
individual, not undo most of what has been done?
Fact of the matter is-and everybody knows it-Mr
Dulles is using weasel words.
He and other conservatives would not dare make the
'Wel1are state they yammer at so eagerly an issue
They would not dare advocate repeal of the Social Sc
cIity Act for instance unemployment compensation

Outrageous?

You don't have be very old to recall that labors
paign for the 40hour work week termed Outrageous
by many employers and busnessminded editorial writer's
Such thing they declared, would ruin our economy
give workers too much dleness ETC.. etc.
Now the 40-hour work week is standard.
And the idea that hourly workers should have annual
vacations termed Outrageous, too when the unions
began campaigning for them
But vacations accepted part of the indus
trial scene.
It's well to call these things to mind when discussing
the current union drive for pensions and when making plans
to negotiate for guaranteed annual wages
The pensions requested by unions have been term
ed Outrageous and many employers have referred to the
guaranteed annual wages "an outandish idea"
Yet the only Outrageous" thing about both is that
they're comparatively They haven't operated
fully for many years. and number of firms have had real
success with the guaranteed wage
Big stumbling block in the way of putting both into
widespread operation is the old idea that hourly paid indus
trial workers shouldn't receive the consideration

The current steel industry shows clearly that the

No, No Yeur For Industry

Perhaps it the normal readjustment" which caus-
ed leading industries this year to buck nearly every request
made by unions effort to improve the lot of American
workers.
None of the giants in the Steel auto electrical fields
showed willingness to bulge inch from their adamnt
mo" position until faced with strike threads.
This wasn't surprising in the light of the big squeeze
which industry put the workers through price increases
and later through aos when the demand for high priced
merchandise decreased.
There is much evidence that industrial and financial
leaders decided many months that this the year to
"crack down" the unions if they could do without
arousing public ire.
And there's much evidence to support the suspicion that
the who dominate industry have been doing their best
to President Truman into position which would
require him to invoke the Taftatey JUNCTION procedure
