Minton asked. “The law never required capital to incorporate, did it? “Corporations were launched by businessmen to further their own ends. They were designed to attract capital, limit liabilities and make more profits, if possible. But the Government passed no laws enforcing imcorporation.” Senator Minton said he had little fear of labor not living up to contracts entered into with employers. The history of the labor movement shows, he said, that legitimate unions have always abided by collective bargaining.

ALCOHOL CASES GOST HOSPITAL HEAVY LOSSES
Survey Shows $500,000 Spent Yearly for Patients; Further Rise Seen.
By Scicnee Service . WASHINGTON, May 14.— The steadily increasing number of alcoholic patients, many of them mere children, is giving the average hospital a tremendous and expensive problem. : : At one institution, Boston City Hospital, care of these patients cost close to $500,000 last year. These and other astounding fig-
ures appear in a recent. report by Dr.
Entered _ as
at
Merrill Moore, of Harvard Medical School and Boston City Hospital, and M. Geneva Gray. For several years Dr. Moore with Prof. Tracy J. Putnam of Harvard Medical School and Dr. James W. Manary, superintendent of Boston City Hospital, have been conducting an extensive investigation into the alcoholic situation. Their findings are now being compiled and made available for a survey of alcoholism and its relation to social welfare being made by the Works Progress Administration. “The majority of inebriates that come into the hospital,” says: Dr. Moore, “are between the ages of 25 and 50—a man’s most productive years. The loss to the economic life of Boston through this condition is deplorable and can hardly be estimated. Not only does it cost thousands of dollars to care for thése men and women, but they in turn cost the city many times that amount in loss of working days. But it is their families who feel most the effects of their drunkenness.”
However,

received 5000-odd cases,of acute al- |i ject and by improved methods of
coholism. Fully one-fifth of this number entered the hospital in a coma and among them were an abnormal number of ‘children under 15 years of age. The 5000 cases received approximately 10,000 weeks of care at a cost of $5.33 a day each. Records of penal institutions as well as of the Boston City Hospital will be surveyed in the WPA project, for which an allotment of $44,403 has been made. It is not the purpose of the research to present facts for the
basis of moral or. ethical judgments upon the individual. In its educational theme these factors will be necessarily present by implication. he keynote and underlying theme| of the project is to present data | which will bring to the fore the seriousness of the improperly treated and uncured alcoholic and present possible improvements that may aid in complete rehabilitation of the alcohdlic derelict.
The authorities feel that it is only i

treatment that the alcoholic increment as an expense factor can be lessened and the alcoholic individe ual, in many cases, salvaged from - complete insanity or social nullity. The WPA project intends to preset as complete a history and prospectus of alcoholism in Boston as is possible, with the hope that it may lead to possibly a clearer une derstanding of the alcoholic and promote more adequate facilities to insure his return to society in a use ful condition. The project is under the direction of Dr. Moore and a committee of able men from the Boston City Hospital and various related public agenceis have been organized to weigh the study critically and to serve in an advisory capacity. This committee is headed by Dr. John A. Foley, professor of medicine at Boston University Medical School and physician-in-chief of the Fifth Medical Service at the Boston City Hospital.
