WASHINGTON, June 0. —~ Judging by reports iB come in from some parts of the country, Pr dent Roosevelt is losing much public confidence be- ‘ cause he ‘hasbeen inactive defense strikes. ; People; are asking the question: “If the danger to the nation is as great as Mr. Roosevelt says it is, why does he allow production to be tied up: by sirikes? I have no doubt that the strikes are as painful to Mr. Roosevelt as ‘to many other people. The quesHom | is, how can they be stopped? It | is easier to ask the questior than fo answer it. We had here the other day ¢ .

most outrageous performance b: a labor leader—O. M. Orton, presi dent of the C. I. O. Woodworker:

Union which is on strike in hil Pacific _ Northwest lumber industry.

The National Defense Mediation Board proposed ‘: settlement. In substance, it suggested that the me: go back to work with a raise of, 7% cents an hour ana vacation Sllowahest: and that an impartial fact-finding commission be created to study whether a further ‘wage increase was justified on the basis of lumber-': company profits. If increases were deemed justified, they would be made retroactive. It seems like a fair ‘proposal. . It was Spproved by the Mediation Board - and. was concurred ‘in by three high C. I. O. union leaders—Philip Murray, president of C. JT. O.; John’ . Brophy, director of industrial union councils, and Clinton Golden, regional director of the C, I. O. Stee' Workers g Committee.

H urting Labor's Cause

Yet the C. 1.0: strike leader, who had walked out: on the board two, weeks ago, walked out on it again, spurning this approved settlement in a churlish statement accusing the Mediation Board of trying to “bulldoze the “workers.” rs This is only one of several situations that. place . the strike Toadere in a most unfavorable light. : The outlaw strike of machinists in the San Francisco shipyards, ‘Which has been denounced as a breach of faith

that the majority of labor leaders are as inter t to the nation’s needs as the leaders of these strikés appear to be. Mr. Roosevelt says he has recelved between 400 and 500 letters and telegrams from local and international union officials pledging support. One of them came from Daniel J, Tobin, head of the Teamsters’ Union which is on strike in ‘Pittsburgh and is threatening trouble in some other places, His face must be red. Many labor leaders must be embarrassed. Philip Murray has publicly rebuked the C. I. O. lumber strike leader and has appealed over his head to the men to go back to work.

Labor Parley Urged

Here is-an opportunity for President Roosevelt to mobilize the support of the more responsible labor ‘leaders -and to bring forward the patriotic element which surely must be predominant in labor. would it not be worth while for Mr. Roosevelt to invite to Washington for a conference with him all' labor leaders, local leaders as well' ag national, to talk it over; let them: meet in the East Room. There are few who would refuse the call to co-operate. Let

labor itslf, in this way, show who the reckless strike- |i

pullers are. Let the'country know which ones put the Government first in this emergency. = ~The majority of labor leaders and the rank and . file are surely no less interested in the country’s needs than any other class of citizens. They must know. that ie strike racketeering by a few'is doing serious injury to the whole labor movement. This is

a test of labor's responsibility, and unless it rises fof: the need it will forfeit. public confidence ‘for many

years to come. : President Roosevelt can help the responsible portion of labor to bring its pressure against the irresponsible portion of it. ‘Once mobilized, I think labor would do a better job of breaking up strikes than| the Army could do 3 by moving into commandeered |

plants.

that is, an expression of the processes that go on in ty individual cells which. compose the To of the

“Many of these processes consist of chemical exchanges in which oxygen is gained or lost, and consequently are known as “oxidation-reduction systems.” It is because these processes require cortin, the hormone of the adrenal glands, Vitamin B-1 and Vitamin C, that these three substances attain their importance in the control of infections, the two authors believe. The pituitary, because of its general control over the adrenals and over many cellular mechanisms, thus acquires its role of master in the defense against disease. In these facts, the two authors see great hope fog the future. Granting that much of natural resistance is inherited, the fact remains that this inheritance must express, itself through cellular mechansims.

The Task for the Future

The task of the medical man, therefore, is to ald these mechanisms: so that the person with. a weak inheritance in this regard can be made the equal of the person ‘with’ strong’ inheritance. They believe that time and further research will disclose new methods of building natural resistance against disease by the aid of proper diet and the use of hormone preparations. They . think that medical research has only scratched the surface in its attempts to understand the ductless glands, the spleen and nutrition. Continued work in these flelds will lead to a clearer understanding of the vital problems of natural resistance. ‘ Such ‘understanding will make healthier human beings who may ig expect to live to greater age in better heal Their closing message, ie is one of hope, namely, that man has within his power means by which the defenses against disease can be strengthshed; ‘infections ‘eliminated, health improved and life

It is an inpisine picture for the future.
