Steel Strke Likely in Few Weeks
Situation Forming From Which Neither Unions Nor Companies
can Be Ektreaed Except by Breakdown In Price CEILINGS
RaXLa kaWEeneeE

II begins to look as II there
Is golng to be a steel strike In O
few weeks, Events are shaping
up toward o situation from
which neither the unions nor
the steel companies can be ex-
tricated except by some break
down Of the present formula on
price ceilings.
The latest news conveyed to
oficial Washington is that the
steel companies have determined
to reject any recommendation
made by the Wage Sterilization
Boards panel which increases
their costs by amounts that can
not be Offset by increased prices.
These developments have
arisen because the word has
been passed out that the
administration Is unwilling,
through its draft Of regulations
under the so-called Capehart
amendment formula, to allow
an increase in the price Of steel
amounting to more than two
or three dollars a ton as a maxi
mum. In the case Of most Of
the steel companies, the increase
in cost to be permitted would be
much less than three dollars q
ton. Yet the wage increase Of
Is cents an hour is calculated
to mean an increase in cost to
the steel companies of some
where between seven and eight
dollars a ton. In view of the
drop in profits last year, due to
increased taxes, the steel COM
panies are represented as feel
ing that they cannot go along
with any recommendation for a
wage increase which isn't sub
stantially Offset by an increase
in prices.
The situation will grow acute
about March IS, when the
recommendations from the
panel Of the Wage Stabiliza-

or that public opinion would
compel their acceptance, The
steel companies are understood
to have resolved to carry their
case to the public and TO re-
iect the recommendations II
they are as extensive as now
reported.
The administration win be
under pressure to intervene and
use its influence to avoid a
strike. But the end result might
well be governmental seizure Of
the plants under the Taft
Hartley Act and no increase in
wages or in prices. unless some
one in the ONCE Of Price Sta
bilization comes up with a
formula to deal with the prob
lem satisfactorily.
The administration Is up
against the simple fact that, II
it yields ground in the steel con-
troversy. it will set off a round
Of wage and price increases in
coal and other industries.
It is strange that the Coy
ernment does not seem to be
concerned about the big de-
crease in tax revenues which
will result if the expected
recommendations of the Wage
Sterilization Board are forced
through without an increase in
prices to compensate for the
added costs.
Whenever the railroads seek
rate increases from the Inter-
state Commerce Commission,
various Government agencies
express their objections. The

partments as well as the once

Chronic Illness Patients
Survey Conducted in State

A survey of chronic illness pa
tients is being made by local health
officers in every county in the
State under the direction of the
Maryland State Department of
Health. The purpose of this census
is to determine how to make the
best possible use of the $5,0OO,OOO
which the last Legislature made
available to the Department for the
construction of additions to the
chronic disease hospital system.
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, said
the information will be used to
decide just how many beds should
be provided for patients requiring
active treatment and rehabilitation
how many for the permanently bed
fast, and how many for the am
bulant individuals for whom only
custodial care is necessary. Each
county health officer will present
an estimate of the number of per-
sons in each of these three classes
who would, were accommodations
available, seek admission to the
State hospital system.
The Health Department recently
named DR.. James A. McCallum,
former superintendent of Deer's
Head Hospital, as chief of the new
ly created Division of Chronic Di-
sease Hospitals. A travel grant
from the Rockefeller Foundation
will permit DR.. McCallum to visit
every important center for the
treatment of chronic disease in the
Eastern section of the United
States.
AS a World Health Organization
Fellow, DR.. v. L. Ellicott, health
officer of Montgomery County, OBJ
served health and medical services
for the aged and chemically ill in
England and Denmark the early
part of last spring.
At the request of the Maryland
State Board of Health, DR.. Riley
also made a study of English SER
vices for the aged and the chron-
;cally i'll. Upon his return, DR.. Riley
reported that England is far ahead
of Maryland in it's care of old
people. He said that elderly Eng
fish people, who would once have
faced years in an almhouse or a
charity ward are now in many
cases being so helped by active
medical treatment that they are
able to lead useful and contented
lives among congenial companions.

and chronically i'll persons have be-
come one of the most important
health problems in the State, DR.
Riley was especially concerned with
discovering ways in which the
British have approached a salts
factory solution. DR.. Riley believes
that some of the features of the
British program could be trans
planted in Maryland. In particular
he hopes eventually to provide care
for many of the States chronic
disease cases in smaller nursing
homes close to their friends and
relatives.
There were about $4,000 people
over IS years old in Maryland in
1900. In 1862 DR.. Riley says, there
were approximately III, 1000 or bet
ter than triple the population over
65 in Maryland.
The Department of Health is re-
sponsible for furnishing hospital
care both to those of its aged citi-
zens who are disabled by chronic
illness and for whom but little can
be done by medical treatment, and
for younger patients suffering
from long term illness who can in
many cases be restored to normal
health by good medical care. The
older chronic patients greatly out
number all others and their num-
Der is rapidly increasing while the
number of younger patients seems
to remain almost constant.
At present, the Maryland State
Department of Health operates two
chronic disease hospitals. One, a
recently constructed institution at
Deer's Head in Wicomico County
and the other, temporary one at
Camp Richie which will soon be
closed and it's patients moved to
the new plant now being developed
at Monticello in Baltimore City. A
third hospital is being planned for
Hagerstown in Washington County.
