A Long Time Coming Resignation of John L. Lewis, chief of the United Mine} Workers, from the executive council of the American Federa-| tion of Labor presages the final development of a contest with- in labor’s own ranks which has been a long time in coming to; a head. As now organized the labor unions are a continuation of the guild system which sprang up in Europe in the Middle Ages. The affiliation is one of craft. Thus we have a large number of unions, not all of which get along well together. As proof of this take a look at the building trades where disputes among | rival groups of union workmen have long been a thorn in the! flesh both for owners, contractors and HONEST union leagr's. It has been a source of strength as well as of weaknesy for | the unions that they have always concentrated on making t!#2m- selves “princes of labor.” The aim of unionism has been prim- | arily to improve conditions and wages for men of a given craft, | not for labor as a whole. The vast benefits which have come| to all workmen as a result of union action have been an IN-! DIRECT result of union policy, not a thing consciously sought. | Before the machine, rather than the man, became all-power- | ful, this conception was broad enough to make unions important | in their chosen fields, but changing technique in production| brought a decline to union interests. The appeal of the unions was NOT TO THE MASSES and unionism was slipping rapidly in most trades when its leaders managed to translate an up- surging of sentiment for improved social conditions into action favorable to them. But still the great masses of American Labor were left un- touched, as may be seen by comparing the maximum member- ship of some 6,000,000 workers in the unions in 1920 with the total number of American workmen. In some industries we have the spectacle of union members of one craft, working side by side with non-union men engaged in other work. In some cases—it was true of the North Dakota capitol building—we have seen union men attempting to pre- vent non-union men in the same trades from obtaining work. Lewis seeks to change this by organizing ALL the labor in a given industry under an industrial union. The idea is handicapped by its origin, since it was originally sponsored by the I. W. W., but it has much to recommend it if the fundamen- tal principle of union labor—that of collective bargaining—is to be maintained. Lewis sees this but other chiefs of unionism, afraid to ven- ture into unknown fields and perhaps risk their positions of dominance, either do not or will not. The result may be a fight of great significance, first with- || shops works an upholsterer who served ™ been one of a minority on jof taking over big apartment houses ; while undergoing FERA education. i i | { i in the ranks of union labor as it now is constituted, and per-| haps later in the political field. In writing the history of American industry this break be-| tween Lewis and his fellow laborites may some day be consid- ered a matter of real importance. It Isn’t Cricket When an Englishman does something which may be with- in the law but which is contrary to the rules of good taste, his fellows have a way of indicating their adverse opinion by say- ing, “It isn’t cricket.” Such a case is that at Fargo wherein deputy sheriffs, raid- ing a night club, arrested the patrons as well as the proprietors. It may be that prosecutors can find charges to bring against these people, but if they do the accused persons probably will not be convicted, for the arrests violated a tradition which grew up in this country during prohibition times and which has since} become the accepted rule. { Because liquor laws applied to those who sold but not to| those who bought, speakeasy patrons had nothing to fear from # raid by the police. The worst that happened to them was that their liquor supply was cut off. Now, apparently, Cass county has signaled a departure from this standard. Onc patronizes such “joints” at his peril. It is a sad and disconcerting thought to the citizen wont to find divertissement in such places. If the tendency becomes general he will have to stay at home and listen to the radio, go * to the movies, or seek other less stimulating pastimes. Such development would be at variance with the accepted customs. The law-enforcement officials at Fargo don't seem to be playing the game as almost everyone understands it should be played. It “isn’t cricket.” Improving the Safety Record Despite the fact that hundreds of men, armed with high- powered rifles, took to the woods during the deer hunting sea- 3on no casualties have yet been reported. There have been some reckless and unwarranted violations of the laws of safety, to be sure. One such was reported in this newspaper. But on the whole the hunters must have been rea- sonably careful, else the toll ‘would have been similar to what ” it too often has been in previous years. Many a wife will, give thanks that her husband returns home safely, whether or not he has “got his buck,” because these are parlous days for those left behind while the men folks go off to add to the thunder of guns in the forest. And well they may. for whether or not a hunter returns safe depends| | jis turned on. | | | “not so much upon himself as upon the care which others exer: cise.

Gov- ernment Gives Capital Window Shoppers a Rare Treat .. . Just Peer Through the Plate Glass and Get Lots of Information. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Nov. 26.—In one of the capital's better interior decorating on the jury which several years ago; convicted Albert B. Fall of bribe-tak- ing in the oil cases. Mrs. Owen J. Roberts, wife of the supreme court justice who won fame in prosecution of E. L. Doheny, Harry Sinclair, and Fall—Fall alone being convicted—went into the shop the other day. The upholsterer told her how he had tfie Fall jury standing for conviction and how he had helped swing the others around. “Lady,” he announced, “if it hadn't been for me, your husband wouldn’t amount to a damn!” (Mrs, Roberts took it and liked it.) * ok OK Great Window Shopping Your government and mine, which always is pulling quaint little sur- prises on us, has opened up some shop windows and is displaying its wares behind plate glass in the down- town shopping section. That's a result of the policy wnder which your government and miue is grabbing every inch of office, store, hotel, and other space on which 1t can get its hands, even to the point and ordering all the tenants out so government executives and clerks can move in. When it takes over a store with a lot of window glass on a busy street, it naturally figures it should stick something in the window. * ek It’s a Notable Sight Thus, now that the FERA-WPA Educational Division has moved into} an abandoned sporting goods store at 1340 G street, it has filled the win- dows with a display of pamphlets about workers’ education, emergency education, vocational education, and SO on. On top of this display are some little stutfed bunnies, little stuffed elephants, and little dresses which parents on relief were taught to make To say nothing of an autographed photograph of Mr. Roosevelt. Down at 1423 F street the United States Information Service has a} gaudier layout for window-shoppers, behind about 14 feet of glass. There's a big chart of the government with dozens of strips of red tape pinned on it and the strips run from names ot federal agencies on the charts down to corresponding pages on a lot of opened copies of the United States! Government Manual strewn around (The Manual is the official National | Emergency Council book which tells! you what the federal agencies are, What they're for, what they do, how; they're organized—with charts and pages of questions and answers. I:'s| come to be quite a big book.) * * * And You Can Spend $2 The backdrop of this window has/| some gaily painted pictures of the swell at night when a big searchlight There's also a printed quoiation from Mr. Roosevelt to the effect that people should know more about their government. | Naturally, a lot of people are lured ide, where you can buy the manu: for $2. You can also get all the Sire service you want and if your ques- tions about your government and mine can’t be answered orally at once you can write them down on a speciai jiank and the USIS will tell you laier. In case you're just lost, USIS will tell you how to find yourself again and it has maps (privately printed) to show you around Washington. Over on a big bulletin board is a large map of Ethiopia, with clusters} of little red pins, each of which rep- resents 25,000 Italian soldiers, and clusters of little blue pins, each of which represents 25,000 Ethiopians. They had quite a time getting the col- ored janitor to keep his hands off those pins. * % % Watch for More of Same Your correspondent probably will be running into other government shop windows when he least expects them and will report on same. Whether or not you like this present government of yours ard mine, you at least must admit we never had one like it before. One has a horrid suspicion that the first thing the Républicans would do, if returned to power, would be to close down the shop windows, tear down that map of Ethiopia, and throw away those pins.

Social reform work- ed slowly at county farms, orphan- ages, and asylums for the insane. ‘When great betterment had been wrought in the institutions charged with the care of dependency and de- stitution these institutions still would be avoided by all who could. Need of such protection was regarded as a crowning misfortune, particularly in old age, and no merit in administra- tion could quite make it otherwise, although a person might welcome the place as a haven in despair. Now it is thought that the best in- stitution is at the best the second best relief, and-in many cases it may be the most expensive.

Sometimes it would seem that the more an idea has innately to recom- mend it the more it requires of hu- man integrity and skill to make it -|work. In the case of old age pension versus charitable institutions we must consider first the fact that the former will be regarded as desirable. No normal person desires the aid given by an institution. It is the lesser of two undesirable conditions. There could not be the same deter- mination to escape a pension that there would be to avoid an institution, The pension, it may be assumed, would soon be regarded as a natural right attainable for enjoyment at a certain age. Any one may do his own speculation as to the probable effect of such expectations upon the character of the individual and the contents of the public treasury.

AMBULATORY TREATMENT OF VARICOSE ULCER The reason why varicose ulcer does not heal as readily as an ordinary wound is the reason why the ulcer happens in the first place, namely, poor nutrition of the tissues of the leg. The stagnation of blood in the enlarecs or dilated veins retards nourishment of the cells and tissues through thu circulation. of Every doctor encounters cases varicose ulcer of long standing, the patient complaining that it has remained unhealed for many years not- withstanding all the remedies “tried” from time to time, and yet, if the patient can be persuaded to stay in bed for a week, perhaps with the leg elevated part of the time, the ulcer heals with astonishing celerity. Provided, of course, there is no “proud flesh,” that is, exuberant granulation tissue in the ulcer; or if there is, it is aseptically trimmed down to skin ‘evs: Sometimes, though, it is a great hardship for a breadwinner to remain in bed a week. Well, there is a good alternative treatment available for the varicose ulcer sufferer who can’t lay up for treatment. I hope it will not annoy the old guard if I call this ambulatory treatment. Something about that word ambulatory seems to arouse animosity among the old timers— reckon it means to them more patients going to better doctors, say for treat- ment of hemorrhoids or hernia. The ambulatory treatment of varicose ulcer is as follows: First gently bathe the ulcerated area with plain soapy water agreeably the ulcer with ¢ pad of a dozen or more layers of fine cheesecloth freshly, ironed or surgical gauze from a sterile package. Over this apply a rubber sponge about % inch thick and an inch larger in diameter than the ulcer. Keep the sponge in place by an elastic bandage applied to the leg from the toes to the knee. That’s all. Now you must walk about every day, to get the gentle massage effect which helps the circulation. Or if it is against your political principles to walk, with gasoline so cheap and everything, then you must do some regular exercises every day—and one of the best is lying on your back and juggling a barrel, real or imaginary, with your feet. Remove tie-dressing, wash ulcer as before, and reapply, every two days. It, is useless to apply this treatment or any other if there is proud flesh in the ulcer. That must be removed first, and only the doctor can safely do this. It is unwise to attempt to “burn” it out ee caustic. ’ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS i Soap as Antiseptic Interested in your article on use of soap as dressing for septic wounds. We have been using boric acid wet dressings with satisfaction, for infected wounds. Is soap better in your opinion? (Mrs, E. H. A.) Z Answer—Yes. I should prefer.a large hot wet dressing of soapy water— ordinary toilet soap and boiled water, used to keep wet the dressing of many yards of gatize or absorbent cotton—changing the dressing only when it is evidently soiled. Whites of Eyes I have Ben Told when the whites of your eyes look yellow you have either kidney or liver trouble. . .(R. R.) Answer—As a general rule a yellow or sallow ting has no such signifi- any cause. What Grade Milk? Is grade A milk as beneficial to health as grade A irradiated milk? We cannot afford to buy certified milk. (L. N.C.) Answer—Irradiated milk is any milk that has ben exposed to ultraviolet light, usually from a carbon arc lamp, for a few seconds. This imparts to the milk the vitamin D influence required to prevent rickets in infants. | Grade A milk which is approved by your family physician or your local health officer is pure and wholesome. Grade A Raw milk, from tuberculin tested herd, is second only to Certified milk, in my opinion. Grade A Pas- teurized milk is always safe. If you are not certain about the purity of the milk, better scald it—that is, bring it to a boil for one minute, then let it cool. This will kill any harmful germs there may be in the milk. Grade B milk is fit for food only when it has been thoroughly cooked. (Copyright, 1935, John F. Dille Co.) . by BEGIN MERE TODAY her might DY HAR. ion tram Bebby. 1 bought was armored.
