Stupid Accusations

7 Asst WEEK we read it in Paul Blocks
IL Blade. Now we hear it from Cleve-
land, although the Cleveland story gives
its urc as having been heard in
Toledo"
Naturally we are talking about those
strangely recurring ''rumors" that tell of
threats being made against workers who
might not vote right" in the forthcoming
election. The charges, of course, o m e
from Tafts cohorts. According to these
threats" workers are being told til at
somehow, some mysterious way someone
will find out how they vote and that they
will be punished" Punishment" of
course, means loss of jobs.
Taft and his cohorts know that these
accusations are not only stupid, but down
right malicious. No one can find out how
anyone votes. We have a secret ballot.
Furthermore, unlike bigshot Taft
hackers who used to compel their workers
to wear republican buttons in their plants
and fire those who wouldn't, people know
that we would be the first to fight against
any tempering with our sacred right to our
secret ballot.
But there is a reason for this type of
immoral, indecent campaigning. Taft is
frightened. He behaves more and more
like the provehbial rodent on the sinking
ship. He fears defeat. So he resorts to his
stupid accusations.
Fortunately the voting citizens of Ohio
are far too intelligent to fall for this type
of undertaking. That is why on Nov. 7th

They Deserve II

THE REQUEST of u public school
Il teachers for a wage increase of 15%
across the board should come as a surprise
to no one. We know, or at least we should
know that u school teachers have been
pitifully u%nderpaid for a long time. This
is especially true now with the cost OF
living climbing out of reach for so many
of us. And the fact that other workers are
getting wage hikes; the fact that bust
ness profits are climbing at an even great
er pace, the lot of the teachers are made
even more unbearable.
We are advised that the present scale
of wages for teachers ranges from S2,4OO
a year to $4,000 a year. Thus simple
arithmetic tells us that a new teacher,
with their expensive educational back
ground that takes so many years to ac-
cumulate, must start work for a b o ut
S46.15 per week. Even in the highest paid
bracket our teachers fail to earn $4,000
per week.
These salaries are obviously inadequate
from whatever angle n cares to view
them. Especially in the lower brackets
the wages are actually on a starvation
level.
OF course, we are pleased tn at the
Board of Education has ordered a re
study of these salary schedules. 1t is to
be hoped that this 'restudy" will result
in the quick correction of these sad condi-
lions. And by that we mean the granting
OF wage increases to our teachers who
have such an important function in our
society - the teaching of our children.

Our Teachers Should Know

Asst WEDNESDAY turned out to be
~ a special and unexpected holiday for
our sc, 900 school children. Not so for our
1850 public and parochial school teach
ers. For this day they were taken on spe-
cial tours by the Chamber of Commerce
to visit various industrial plants and other
business concerns in order to get a be-
hind-the-scences glimpse of the citys eco
nomic life"
or course, we have no objections to
this holiday. We have no objections to
have our teachers get a look at what
makes Toledo tick economically. After all
these good men and women teach our chill
dren and it is only natural that we want
them to be fully informed on every phase
of u complex society - especially in the
field of business, commerce and eco
Monies.
However, we do hope that the picture
u teachers gained from their visit is a
true one. Too often in the past ''educa-
tional tours of this type turned out to
be nothing more than "promotional
stunts" in the field of public relations for
business. Too often til e educational
tours" were utilized by it's sponsors to
prejudice our teachers against the labor
movement.
We do not say that this is so in this
case. Frankly, at the moment we don't
know. But we hope that such is not the
case. We hope that our teachers were
given a true and, as far as possible, an ac-
curate picture of our industrial and eco
nomic life. We hope that the various tour
conductors" did not forget that the work.
ingmen and women who man these in
duStrial units are very much a part of
what makes our city tick.

W. l. (ANP)- Another color

cox Wilson,, white.
Perez, Sd educated at st. Mary's
college here, was called to the
he was working for, and offered
his resignation to accept a posi-
ton as salesman for a rival COM
pany, making it perfectly clear
that he had tried in vain to Sc
cure such a position with his
company but had been given no
consideration.
The president of the company
denied any knowledge of Smiths
desire to become a salesman and
assured him that any correspon-
dence to that effect had never
reached the presidents desk. He
took action on the matter immedi-
ately and the following day Smith
was notified that he had been an
pointed to the position which he
desired. Thus, Smith became the
first Negro to work alongside of

Physician Heads
Notable Health
Work Tn. Liberia

MONROVIA, Liberia (ANP)-'
The greatest strides in making Lii
IBERIA a healthy place to live have
been made by the U. S.. Health
mission which was established
shortly after World War II.
Composed entirely of Negro
physicians, nurses and technical
experts under the leadership of
Col. Hildrus A. P%oindexter, it's
medical director, the mission has
strengthened the existing Public
Health Service of the Republic.
Established at the request of
the Liberian government, it as
sists in the training of profession
al and sub-professional public
health and hospital personnel.
Nurses, technicians and mid-wives
have been trained. A clinic is op-
Grated for the sick. A standard
diagnostic laboratory center for
Monrovia with medical consultant
service for the entire country is
maintained.
The mission has engaged in ma
larial control SO effectively that
malaria which was once the
scourage Of West Africa is down
at low ebb. Sanitation specialists
have almost ridden the Monrovia
area of the malaria bearing mos.
quito.
An important part of it's work
has been in material and infant
morbidity and morality. The death
rate for mothers and babies has
dropped terrifically since the mis-
sion has been operating. Special
attack has been made upon var
led tropical diseases, sleeping sick
ness, intestinal worm infections,
tropical ulcers and many others.
Surveys and research is carried
on unremittingly.
Col. Poidexter, who is a graduate
Of Harvard University Medical
school and former professor and
head of. the department of Bacteri-
ology at Howard university, spent
a year in South America studying
parasites and tropical diseases be-
fore going into the U. S. army
from which post he became direct
or of the USPH Mission to Liber-
ia.
