THE DIAILY WORKER bie, Page Five LONG DISTANCE CLINING STUDIES PATIENT'S HEART Physicians 10 1000 Miles Apart Make ake Diagnosis ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 81— A novel feature of the American Med- ical association convention which is being held here for three days and the first of its kind in the history of the medical profession was the long dis- tance clinic at which. 1,500. physicians were present. A diagnosis.was made inthe case of a heart, disease. patient with the diagnostic specialist many miles away from the patient. Diagnostician 1,000 Miles Away. Two photographs of heart beats which had been sent to Chicago by the new telephoto process’ for diagnosis were shown on a screen while the gathering listened to Dr. James R. Greér; a Chicago heart specialist over 1,000 miles away giving the diagnosis. There is how it was done. One of the photographs gave the heart beat of a patient who was examined with a stethoscope in Atlantic City in the morning.. By the use of a new apparatus a “stethogram” of chart of the patient's heart beat. was produced. This was mailed to the American Telephone and Telegraph office in New York City from which place it ‘was sent to Chicago by wire thru pioc- tures, The diagnosis was made by Dr. Greer in the afternoon. In the eve- ning the stethogram was thrown on the screen in Atlantic City. The New York specialist, Dr. Samuel Lambert, called up the Chicago specialist, Dr. Greer, from a telephone in the meet- ing hall, Thus tho separated by 1,000 miles, the two physicians, the patient and the physician attending the convention were brot together by the long distance clinic. Discuss Latest Discoveries. Among the subjects discussed by the convention at its many meetings were the latest discoveries in the use of radium and x-ray it ‘medicine and surgery, the cure of some forms of cancer, the latest achievements in the fight against infantile” paralysis, the use of artificial sunlight in the cure of rickets and the possibilities in the treatment of all physical ailments thru knowledge of the dtctless glands.

WORKERS’ SHOULDERS MUST CARRY THE HEAVY LOAD OF THE HIGH CAPITALIZATION OF DODGE PLANT By LELAND OLDs, (Federated Press Staff Correspondent) The cleanup put over in reorganizing Dodge Brothers, the auto concern, by Dillon, Read & Co., is typical of the financial deals surrounding the for- mation of practically every ‘big corporation in the country. The millions of profit realized by the Wall Street financiers thru the capitalization of pro- spective profits assures the continuance of low wages and high prices. The securities of the Dodge company were sold to the public for $159,- 250,000 or $13,250,000 more than Dillon, Read and Co. paid the original owners for the entire property.

Will Lied Bone Rico Rather Than Pay More Than 20 Cents a Day NEW YORK, “May 31.—(FP)—Sto- ryk Bros.,, dress imanufacutrers, who are among the leading American cap- italists profiting by the home work of women and chfldten of Porto Rico, have voiced their alarm at the bill forbidding home work which Senator Santiago Iglesias has introduced in the Porto Rican senate. Iglesias’ letter to officials of the International Ladies Garment Work- ers Union said that the average wage of the home-sweated women and children of his island was only 20 cents a day. Storyk does not attempt to meet the attack on the bad industrial wage rate but falls back on the old-excuse that he and his fellow employers can- not afford to pay.any more. If home work is banned by law, gays the Amer- ican firm, it will, quit the island.

From Workers in the Shops Detrolt, Mich. Dear Comrades:—The Shop Nucleus No. 1 Is Interested in thebAILY WORKER sub getting campaign. It has a suggestion to add to the many that already have been offered by the mill- tants thruout the country. The experience of an active comrade in the shop nucleus is worthy the attention of all comrades who are organized in shop nucleus, In, the shop where the nucleus is organized, workers must write their name and address on their time clock cards, when new cards are issued. The comrade copies the names and ad- dre 8 of his fellow workers whom he only knows by the badge humbers displayed on their outer garment and then mails them the Dally Worker with important articles marked with red pencil to attract their attention; also inclosing: leaflets and announce- ment of mass meetings. Few days later the comrade makes it his duty to see the worker whom he sent the paper and talke on the very subject which was marked in the paper. From the conversation It will be known whether there is any use to follow it up or not, Thru this method the comrade has received seven three months subs to the Daily Worker in as many weeks. Other comrades in the nucleus are adopting the method because it bring results, If it’s Impoasible to get the addresses of the cards then get next to the time clerk and he will help you out. The best part of the above suggestion Is, when you get the name and address you do not have to chase around to his home, you see him dally at the shop. Comrades try out the above suggestion and lets hear yours. Yours in building our paper. PRESS COMMITTEE, Shop Nucleus No. 1. What other way can comrades suggest to build a bigger Communist movement?

C. Dickerman, vice-president of the antiunion American Car and Foundry Co., ally of the steel trust, discussing “Incentives For Individual Production” before the U. 8. cham- ber of commerce converition in the capital. “Leaders of industry desire the men’s unrestrained efforts and have for centuries addressed themselves to the cultivation of what may be termed the ‘Will To Work’” he stated. “In contrast with the incentives of the past fivé thousand years, we find to- day an approach directed to the phy- sical, intellectual and financial de velopment of the workman; a full ap- preciation of the mutual obligation of the workman by methods sometimes paternalistic and frequently amaszing- ly generous.” These amazingly generous methods he listed as thrift plans, mutual bene- fit associations, pensions, piece work systems and the step-up bonus, pro- duction bonus, profit sharing, stock participation plans and industrial re- presentation. “The piece work system,” he con- eluded, “probably will alway remain the prime incentive; easily under- stood, it stimulates the individual; protected on guarantees as to the sanctity of the rate, the fewards are evident to all,” This anti-union executtve, whose concern has had experience of labor unrest in its McKees Rocks plant, assured his fellow employers that “Justice, knowledge and generosity are the handmaidens of the present day industrialist.” Bible Clase Added to School TUSCOLA, IIL, May 81-—The Tus- cola Union School Board announces that the bible will be tanght in the schools next fall, one period to be taken up daily with this work and a credit given for it.
