This sur- vey is based upon a personal investi- gation made by George A. Parker, M. D. Maternity cases, Dr. Parker said, lack suitable attention. Sometimes they are conducted with the aid of neighboring women _ hastily moned. Often attempts to obtain medical aid have proved unavailing, he asserted, due to financial handi- caps. General med: attention is limited, lack funds to pay for physicians or medicines. Children’s ailments uncared for sted in the report, are enlarged glands, intestinal disturbances, sub- acute and chronic disorders, tonsils, ete. Hospitals Overcrowded. The hospitalization available totally inadequate, the survey indi- cates. The free ward at the Miners’ hospital in Spangler is over- crowded. They are no other free wards or clinics in the entire dis- trict. Should an epidemie break out, the results would be extremely dangerous, contributing markedly to an increased per cent in fatalities. The lowered vitality of the miners and their families brought about by conditions, life in the barracks, the approach of cold and_ inclement weather, and the opening of school are listed as factors influencing the spread of epidemics. To combat this situation, Dr. Parker whose survey was conducted under the auspices of the Emergency for Miners Relief, proposes organ- ized medical relief which would give especia] consideration to maternity cases, children’s diseases and cipient epidemics. in- A detailed program for clinics to be conducted two days a week in Barnesboro and Portage, reserving the remainder of the time for more distant and smaller settlements, as well as whatever emergencies might present themselves. Cooperation from hospitals and school boards to obtain rooms for urgent cases, and surveys of children’s health, is also outlined. The cost of the project is estimated at $50 a week for doctor’s salary and personal expenses, and 5,000 for medical supplies, hospital- ization, etc, for a four months period. Official Committee Active. Meanwhile, the National Miners Relief Committee is straining its re- sources to send the minimum necess- ities to as many camps as possible, to fight off starvation and disease, where the miners“have not yet..re- turned-to work, The black-listing- of local leaders, the aftermath-of lost strikes, is al- ready in-effect starving the militant miners-out of the industry. In num- erous camps, the m‘ners are banding together, demanding that everybody be employed together. In this way, the blacklist has been effectively eliminated in numerous mines.

The initia! trial of the Labor De- fense organization came last Friday night with the arrest of three strik ers by police, who hailed them to the station house because “they were suspicious” A strikebreaker said that he was afraid they were going to beat him At first the judge ordered them charged and set bail at $150. Fol- lowing a conversation with a com- pany guard, however, he immedi- ately raised the bond to $1,500. The International Labor Defense then stepped into the case and se- cured bail for the strikers, who were released, going straight from the jail to their strike meeting.
