TWo- Year Fight Seen Before
Health Plan Finally Passed
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON

Washington (LPA) - President
Truman's special message to Con-
gress asking for national health
insurance legislation marks the
opening of what may be the big
gest political issue of the next two
years.
Labor, liberal, church and well
fare groups are lined up back OF
the President. On the other side,
armed with millions of dollars, are
the American Medical Association
the National Physicians Commit
tee, and other professional groups,
which have been led by propaganda
in the medical journals to believe
t hat national health insurance
would be harmful to them.
Supporters of the Presidents
health program, led by the Com
mittee for the Nations Health,
have amassed tons of data showing
the need for better distribution of
medical care to the people of this
country. They have data from the
American Medical Association it.
self backing up their contention
that 800 of the people cannot meet
the costs of medical emergencies
without help.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-04-28

On the other side, the ANA ano
its allies admit that the cost OF
medical care is high, and that il
can cause suffering in cases of cat
astrophic illness, but contend that
the answer is voluntary health in
surance through the various plans
now available to the public. Two
alternative bills have been intro
duced in Congress to meet the sit
uation through government sub
sidies--of one kind or another--to
these voluntary programs.
Labor spokesman have denounc-
ed these proposals as completely
inadequate and have charged the
ANA with insincerity in proposing
them. They have pointed out that
until recently the ANA called even
these voluntary insurance plans
socialistic and have charged that
organized medicine is now giving
lip-service to voluntary insurance
as a means of heading off the Pre-
sident's program.
Last week a delegation composed
of top labor leaders and headed by
DR.. Charming rockingham, chair
man of the Committee for the Ma
tion's Health, presented to Pres
ident Truman a report showing that
the ANA has actually been fight
ing the only voluntary health in
surance plans that offer protection
to the public. The report showed
that the plans supported by the
ANA are so limited in their bene-
fits that they do not meet the pro-
blem.
This delegation warned the Pre-
sident that to accept the Taft bill,
the Republican substitute for the
Presidents plan, would play into
the hands of the medical monopoly
headed by the ANA and turn COM
plete control of medicine over to
that backward group. The Pres
ident showed a clear understand

Hiring Halls To
Remain In Effect

New York (LPA)-East coast
maritime unions have begun spring
negotiations, making it clear in the
process that they intend to ignore
last weeks NLRB ruling on union
controlled hiring halls.
Two of the unions, Natl Mar
time Union and American Radio
Assn were found by the board last
week to have violated the Taft
Hartley act by demanding contin-
uance of their hiring halls on the
Atlantic and Gulf coast. A similar
ruling by the board on Great Lakes
hiring halls is now on its way to
the Supreme Court.
Jack Lawrenson, NMU vice-pres-
ident, said that under the sea
unions contracts hiring halls will
remain in effect unless and until
the Supreme Court rules other
wise."

COP HYPOCRISY

Washington (LPA) - Every
one of the Republicans who
voted for the "anti-segregation"
amendment which Sen. John
Bricker CIR, Ohio) introduced in
an attempt to kill the public
housing bill has lined up public
ly in the past against much less
far-reaching civil rights propos-
ais. For instance, last summer
the Senate ducked vote on the
poll tax abolition bill by voting
to adjourn. This was interpreted
by the news services as having
"the effect of dropping the poll
tax ISSUE" OF the 20 Republi
cans now in the Senate who
voted last August to drop the
poll tax debate, all voted for the
Bricker amendment.

ing of the problem ana promised 10
make a real fight for his bill.
Labor spokesmen who talked the
situation over with the President
included William Green, president
of the American Federation Of
Labor; James b. Carey, Secretary
treasurer of the CIO; and Harvey
w. Brown, president of the Inter-
national Association of Machinists.
The report submitted to the
President and statistics collected
by the Committee for the Nations
Health show how little voluntary
health insurance plans are doing to
protect the people, despite all eff
forts to promote them in recent
years.
The ANA is making much of the
fact that about 100000 of the
nations 145,O00,0OO people have
voluntary health insurance. But
the CNH statistics show that most
of these people have only hospital
insurance land that only 3,500,OOO
people are protected today by COM
prehensive hospital and medical in
surance. The pay-off comes in fig
ures showing that less than tenth
of the nations medical bill was
met in 1947 by all the voluntary
plans combined.
Under the Presidents program
about 120,000,000 people, including
all workers and their families,
would be fully protected under
comprehensive hospital and med
ical insurance, except in cases of
tuberculosis and mental illness
which the government already
handles to large extent. Once the
plan was in operation these people
would have hospital care up to so
days in a year, full medical care,a
and some dental and nursing care
provided by their insurance pay
ments.
The program would provide bet
ter medical care for millions of
people and remove the financial
worries which always in the past
accompanied serious medical emer-
gencies.
Some of the voluntary health in
surance plans now in effect have
been worked out in collective bar
gaining contracts between labor
and management. But labor lead
ers are not satisfied with them. AL
most unanimously they are sup
porting the national health insur-
ance plan to provide more compre-
hensive protection. D..
But with the millions of dollars
on the other side, even President
Truman's promised strong fight for
the legislation will not be enough
unless the rank and file of the pub
lie, particularly the members of
organized labor, make it clear to
their Congressman that they want
action on the Presidents program.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-04-28

workers, for example, rose III be-
tween 1887 and 1947; real earnings
in cotton goods rose $50" the re-
port sets forth. Another example
given is that real wages of railroad
machinists in that period mounted
5ft, but of railroad track laborers,
55as.
Typical examples of the buying
power of wages in terms of time
worked are given, so European
workers can readily compare with
their own. Listed among. others
are: a pound of bread, six minutes
of work; pound Of round steak, 81
minutes; pound of butter, 40 min
utes; pound Of sugar five minutes;
IL eggs, "a minutes; IL oranges,
21 minutes; pair of mems shoes, 8
hours; standard electric refriger-
ator, % days; popular new auto
mobile, 140 days; average months
rent of dwelling, three days.
In 1947, the report goes on, 95R
of the urban homes had running
water; 1871, private bath and flush
toilet; 60%6, central heating; 97.5%
electric lighting.
Another chapter emphasizes the
fact that "social security and econ
omic stability have not been sought
by the giving up of liberty" and
also that "there is widespread
determination in America to get at
the causes of depressions and pre-
vent their recurrence"
A lengthy chapter on the labor
movement in America carries these
highlights:
american trade unions are
characterized by freedom an d
economic power. Though the
American worker has shown little
interest i'm revolutionary philosoph-
les, he has proved himself a milit-
ant fighter in the interests of his
union, in workers generally and in
the strengthening of the demo-
ratio process. 49,.
"Most workers and labor organ
zations do not hesitate to speak
ut against injustice and tolerance.
they are opposed to discrimination
lgainst individuals because OF race,
,olor, or religious beliefs.
"While labor party as such has
never commanded their support to
any great extent, American work
ers do actively participate in poll
tics and government. The Com
nunist party in the United States
has tried over the years to gain in
fluence in many important unions
5ut with very little success.
"Typically, the UNI ons have
taken the lead in advocating
changes later adopted, such as the
secret ballot, woman suffrage, and
the right to strike. Workers
have thus played vital role in the
evolution Of freedom and liberalism
i'm the United States. :"
In a windup, the report pointed
out that "the methods Of freedom
and the institutions of free men
vary from country to country"
"As for the United States, it
concluded, "the workers have in
herited their way of life; they have
defended, enriched and improved
it; their status as workers and
citizens affords them ample rea-
son for cherishing their heritage" !"
