SHIRT WORKER WOULD STARVE IF NECESSARY Woman, Support for Family, Says She Won’t Surrender to Company. BY ARCH STEINEL TiUfi Staff Writer NEW ALBANY, Ind., Jan. 23.—A tired couple sits by a monkey-stove In a mortgaged home on the outskirts of New Albany, wondering where the next meal is coming from. Until last October, the wife, Mrs. Laura Dillman, 56, trimmed shirts in a New Albany plant of M. Fine & Sons, Inc. Then she joined the garment makers union and answered the strike call that brought National Guardsmen. Her husband. George, 76, found odd jobs growing scarcer with the years. His trouser knees are patched, and he recently has been ill. Prefers Starving to Low Wages Now, Mrs. Dillman said today, she and her husband are offering up their one right in a cause which she calls Just. That right is “to starve.” “I'd rather starve than join the strike breakers and go to work without the union,” she said. As she talked her husband munched a sandwich stringy with bony meat. Plaster from patched spots on the wall of her home—a home on which she hoped to pay off a mortgage with NRA wages—dropped beside the crumbs of her husband’s disconsolate sandwich. Averaged sll Weekly Under NRA “Us old ladies doing shirt-trim-ming averaged about $22 to $23 every two weeks under NRA scale,” she explained. “We got cut to about $lB to S2O every two weeks, and then they wanted us to take another cut. I walked out with the union.” Her deaf husband shifted his gaze to read her lips as she talked. “I could trim about 22 to 23 dozen shirts a day and it was regular pay. I wasn’t a speedy operator but the sewing I did meant spuds for all of us—me and my two grandsons, and him. what with him sick,” she said as she pointed toward her husband. “The two grandsons fwe raised them) can’t get work either. The union provides our coal. We had about $l6O of the mortgage to pay when I went out with the union. Now we don't pay on that” she explained. Her Philosophy on Situation “We may as well go hungry as work on such low wages,” she philosophizes. Her husband brushed a few crumbs from his lap, unmindful of the conversation. “He knows what I’m saying even if he is hard of hearing. I’m his third wife, but working for him and the grandsons was something. I can’t do it now and I won’t unless the union wins- We are not on relief. Friends help us sometimes—and the union.” Mrs. Dillman folded her hands and sat rocking by the stove. Her husband's rocker joined the chorus, and they sat looking at the crumbs and chunks of plaster on the floor.

HOT TODDY NOT DURE FOR COLD, SAYSPHYSICIAN Mounting Pneumonia Toll Here Brings Warning From Morgan. You can't cure a cold or a snake bite by guzzling at the end of a whisky bottle. This, in substance, is what Dr. Herman G. Morgan, Health Board secretary, said today as he read the mounting list of pneur.onia death records. All colds are potential forerunners of pneumonia, he said, and the most effective way to treat a cold is to call a doctor and go to bed. Sixty per cent of the 85 pneumonia deaths in Indianapolis since Jan. 1 might have been avoided if victims had gone to bed during the first 24 hours of sickness, Dr. Morgan said. “Trace back the case histories and you will find many of these people, suffered from fatigue,” he said. Over-indulgence in alcohol, insufficient exercise, faulty diet, chill, exposure, damp feet and loss of sleep all lead to serious complications, he added. For the last two years pneumonia has increased its toll here. There were 527 deaths from it in 1934, and 651 last year. In December, 101 deaths were recorded, city records show, and Dr. Morgan thinks this figure is to be exceeded this month. Today the rate here is higher than it has been at any time since 1918, year of the influenza epidemic. Before the World War most pneumonia cases here were classified as bronchialar and lobar types, Dr. Morgan said. Following 1918, majority of cases were listed as influenzal and streptococcic. Now, he adds, they show a swing back to the old classifications. But whatever kind it is, Dr. Morgan called attention to the vital necessity of treating colds during early stages.

A. Odum, of Haines City, Fla. “I did not feel like doing my housework, and as I had other work besides, I felt more like lying down. A friend of mine asked me to try Cardui, which I did. After my first bottle. I felt much better. I continued taking it until I had .taken six or seven bottles. By this time I was so much improved I was able to leave It, off.” if not benefited by Cardui, consult a physician.—Advertisement.

SEEKS CONGRESS POST

H ft JSpr

Candidacy of Hugh A. Barnhart (above), Rochester newspaper editor, for the Democratic nomination of congressional representative from the Second Indiana district, was announced today.

WATSON KEEPS HANDSONREINS Ex-Senator to Be in State During Reorganization of Committee. James E. Watson, former United States Senator, revealed today he intends to spend a month in Indiana during the period when much of the preliminary work in reorganization of the Republican State Committee will be done. Mr. Watson said he will go to Washington Saturday, but will return to Indianapolis by Feb. 9. Reorganization of the state committee is scheduled for the second week in May after delegates to the national convention and precinct committeemen are elected in the May 6 primary. Unsuccessful attempts to wrest control of the state committee from the Watson organization were made in 1928 and 1934, led both times by former Senator Arthur R. Robinson. It was regarded as significant by political observers that James P. Goodrich, former Governor and regarded as opposed to the Watson group, was a caller on the former Senator yesterday at the Columbia Club.
