LACK OF r. D. A. FUNDS ENDAkGERS PUBLIC
HEALTH SAYS METCALF

/ "Sixty-seven positions were abolish
ed last year. Of these, SO were profess
sional employees - inspectors, ana
lysts, doctors, veterinarians and ex-
perts in the Food and Drug law. The
other 81 were clerical employees -
including laboratory helpers and ex-
aminers. Three subdistrict laborator-
les and four resident inspection sta
tions were closed.
what has happened as a result?
FDA Commissioner c. w. Crawford
puts it this way:
All this means that to fulfill
our oblig atoms to protect health we
must ignore all but the most flag
rant economic cheats, and curtail
to some extent our work against
filth and decomposition. Progress
in the formulation of food stand
ards will suffer, too, for a substan-
tial amount of field study is re-
quired before proposals can be de-
veloped for hearing
"Yet this bill provides $5,100,000
for the Food and Drug Administration
next year, reduction of 100000
from both the request and the approp-
ration for 1854.
"This cut must necessarily result
in further curtailment of the drive
against filth and decomposition. We
will have new complaints from house
wives, who cannot stand the thought
that they might be feeding decom-
posed food to their children, or that
they might be using cosmetics which
injure their skin and eyes. l believe
the Food and Drug Administration
program should be enlarg-
ed instead of cut back"

From THE PAPER MAKER-AFL

L
1t has been said here from time to time
that not all improvements in the lot of the
workingman can be achieved across the bar
gaining table When locals negotiating COM
mittee sits down with management, it can
seek better wage rates, strengthened job Sc
curity, paid holidays, good vacation clause
and many other items connected directly with
operations at the plant 1t cannot at this point
obtain a social security law, liberal unemploy
ment insurance or WOrkmens compensation
plans, fair taxes or decent housing.
These things can only be assured if union
members learn the political facts of life and
work for the election of candidates for public
office who will support this program in the
legislatures of the states and nation.
1t has been pointed out here also that the
Taft-Hartley Laws restrictions on United
States labor unions extend to the area of ma
tional political action. The law prohibits any
union from making a contribution or expendi-
ture in connection with any election to the
Presidency or Congress, in primaries in
direct elections.
With these things in mind it has been
natural for local unions and their members to
ask how a union can take effective political
action if the Taft-Hartley Law rings down
an iron curtain on such measures.
A good Question-and there's an answer.
The law does ban spending money in direct
contributions for national elections, but it
does not bar the door to spending money for
political education and other types of political
activity. Since this is national election year,
it is important for local unions to know these
things. Here are some of the activities that
are permitted

fects of the depressed cattle market.
SHOULD price support be drasti-
cally reduced or taken away from

economy of more than four fifths of
Montana's Sc counties would suffer
acutely."
"Seventy-five per cent of parity
prices mean bankruptcy for all farm
ers with the inevitable chain reaction
of ruin for all businessmen and de-
pressed industry. Hundreds of Mon
tana businessmen know this to be
true. They have signed petitions to
Congress asking that farm support
prices be set at no less than 900
of parity. The action of the State
Chamber would seem to be in direct
opposition to the wishes of a large
part of its membership.
"The Farmers Union has worked
consistently for years to have a long
range farm program fair to both
consumers and producers written into
the federal law thereby taking this
serious and important problem out

''This may not be very appetiz-

called to your attention. Every day
last year the Food and Drug AID
ministration seized an average of
27 tons of filthy food that was
headed for market.
LEST you think that FDA was too
finicky, let me cite some examples: A
grain company was shipping macaroni
enriched with the bodies of insects
and rodent leavings. A shipment of
canned peas was found to be 26 per

year was million pounds of rodent
defiled sugar.
