approach to silicosis would mean dust
counts no higher than two million
particles per cubic foot in the air.
The great monopolies in the metal
mining industry who fight the excess
profits tax to assure themselves SUI
per-profits should not object if work
ers fight to assure themselves a
healthy place to work.
The usual procedures for deter
mining dust concentrations in the
air neglect the effect of the very
small particles. Studies have shown
that particles larger than 5 microns
(1/25, 000th of an inch) do not get
into the lungs. That is why it is
necessary to use microscope in
counting dust. That also explains
why it is impossible to tell by visual
observation alone whether air in a
work place is dangerous :. the dust
may be there in quantities most dam
gerous to health and still invisible.
1t also explains why farmers and
other agricultural workers (cowpokes
and sheepherders included) do not
suffer from silicosis despite expos
ure. For the dust they breathe is
made up of particles much larger
than microns.
The usual instrument used in the
us. for collecting dust for analysis
is called an "impinger". However,
this instrument fails to collect dust
j
even where improved instruments
are used, the usual methods do not
detect particles less than 61a mi
crons.
And yet the most authoritative
studies show that from 80 to 60 per
cent of all dust particles in mining
operations are less than $40 of a
micron.

high school kid is equally entitled to

MONOPOLY is OUR MOST
DANGEROUS ENEMY,
SAYS CLARK

Concentration of economic power
in the United States is "the most
dangerous enemy we have to fear,"
Tom C. Clark, attorney general of
the US, declared in a speech to the
New York Bar association.
"This is an internal danger more
ominous than another nations
strength" said Clark.
statistics show that small bust
nesses, one after another, have been
gobbled up by the big corporations
faster than ever during the past few
years. That is exactly what happen
ed in Germany in Italy and in Japan.
When economic power becomes too
centralized there are few roads
ahead except those which lead to loss
of liberties"
Trend Must Be Reversed
Unless the trend toward concen-
tration of economic power in the
United States is reversed, Clark said,
"our way of life is in grave and in
creasing danger"
"Our great American society rests
upon the idea of limited power"
Clark declared. Liberty is endang-
cred when either economic or 'politi-
cal power is concentrated in the
hands of the few"
In urging the lawyers to aid in
anti trust law enforcement, Clark
said 'the Department of Justice can
not do the job alone" By prevent
ing monopolies from being formed,
business and lawyers can help cope
with the problem, he said.
"Of course l realize that the eco
nomic purpose of business is prof
it," Clark continued. However, the
desire to accomplish this economic
purpose at times becomes so intense
that some consider public policy good
or bad, vigorous or Intellectual, prac-
teal or visionary by its effects on
profits.
Does industry realize the imph-
cations of this monopoly problem?

Congressional Record shows that
numerous doctors who opposed the
ANA S25 assessment to raise a fund
of $3,500,000 to fight National
Health Insurance plans, are being

What would happen if Bill Green of

$25, but two bucks on each member
to put the health plan over? $64?
