Virus Which Causes
Devils Grip Eases
Paralysis in Polio
BY the Associated Press

COPENHAGEN, Denmark. Sept
5.-Evidence was presented here
yesterday that there is queer
virus everywhere which SCENE to
protect many persons from polio
The protective virus has various
names, the official one being
Coxsackie. This comes from a
New York town of that name
where the association with polio
was discovered in 1947.
Coxsackie has 10 different
forms. They now explain some
summer complaints that long
have baff1ed doctors. The forms
include three day fever" and
devils grip" the latter so named
because of sharp pains in the
chest.
The Coxsackie protection was
reported to the Second Interna-
tional Poliomyelitis Conference by
DR.. Gilbert Dalldorf of the New
York State Department of Health.
The conference is sponsored by
the Danish National Association
for Infantile Paralysis and the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, U. S. A.
The Coxsackie bug is frequently
found along with polio. DR.. DALI
.dorf said it is likely to be found
in mild rather than severe polio.
For the last four years, New York
States outbreaks have been mix
lures of real polio and the Cox
Sackie virus.
A highly important point is
that the amount of paralysis in
polio appears to go down as the
amount of the Coxsackie virus
rises.
In our experience, there has
been an inverse relationship be-
tween the frequency of isolation
of CoXsackie virus and the fire.
quency of paralysis by years." DR..
Dalldorf said.
And experiments with mice in
dicate that infection with Cox
Sackie virus interferes with growth
of polio virus.
The conference was told of a
discovery that breeds mild forms
OF polio virus which protect ami
mails against severe polio without

Negotiation Due Today
In Two-Months-0Id
Pullman Car Strike

NegotiatorS for the Pullman
Standard Car Manufacturing Co.
and CIO steel workers employed
at several of its shops and plants
were summoned to a full dress
conference at the Labor Depart
ment today in an effort to end a
two-months-old strike.
The dispute centering on wages
has cut of about 81 per cent of
the country's railroad car pro-
duction.
Government mediators said the
conference may last several days.
The strike affects workers en-
ployed in two of the company's
shops at Hammond, Ind, and
plants at Bessemer, Ala, and But
Ter. Pa.
Originally the steelworkers
asked for a 35-cent hourly pay
increase for the 5000 men on
strike. The company maintains
that the maximum increase the
Wage Sterilization Board could
approve would be from 4 to G
cents an hour if the 10 per cent
ceiling on wage hikes were OBJ
served.
Two Raises Given Last Year.
Two raises, totaling about 8 per
cent, were granted last year. The
average hourly rate is $1.40 in
1BesSemer and 81 so elsewhere.
The company has made a wage
offer, spokesman said, amount
ing to practically Is per cent
above January. 1850, rates, with
more than that to the Bessemer
employees to reduce the present
10-cent differential.
One of the unions biggest de-
mandS now is for a reopening of
the contract-not due to expire
until next spring-on December
81. That would allow for another
pay boost movement after the
union has opened negotiations
with the steel industry. William
j. Hart. Pittsburgh district presi-
dent. heads the union negotiators.
Freight Car Production Hit.
The long strike not only has cut
of Pullman's freight car produc-
ton at the four plants. but threat
ems to reduce the output of an
other major car-making plant at
Michigan City. Ind, where the
workers are members of the AFL
carmen's union. They may seek
q wage increase under their con-
tract within the next couple of
weeks.
Workers at the Worcester
tMassl plant making passenger
railroad cars, streetcarS and troll
ley-buSes, may open up a sep
arate wage increase movement
October Is. They are represented
by the C1O-Steel Workers.
In April and May the struck
plants were turning out 5000
freight cars a month.
