IT begins to look as though the as far as Independent Steel for Tom Girdler to start celebrating, but all reports indicate, that more and more men are going back to work, and the hack of the strike is broken. Assuming this to be true, what is the reason! When the strike, started C.I.O. had all the best of it. It had aigned contracts with U. S. Steel, and 140 other steel com panies, and the only reason for the strike (advertised at the time) was that the Independents refused to follow the example of the steel industry aa a whole. A weaker cause than the Independents presented could hardly be imagined, They agreed to collective bargaining, but they refused to sign an agreement, carrying out what they agreed to do. Considered alone that didn't make sense then, and it doesn't make sense now. It put Independent Steel on the spot at the outset. OUT there was a corrolary to that refusal, not publicized at U the time, which after its presentation, grew like the prover bial snow ball. It was this: Why sign a contract with an organization that is entirely irresponsible t The letter of the law did not demand it, every consideration of fair play, and common justice, was against it. For a contract with C.I.O. was binding on one party but not on the other. It was a "heads I win tails you lose" proposition, as far as John h. Lewis was concerned, and Tom Girdler, spokesman for the steel of it. THE moment this phase of the problem was presented, the pntiri. .ituntinn fhancrM nverniffht. CT.O was immediatelv placed on the defensive. For not but the record showed, that in not only made no pretense of contract, but in several eases, had, when some advantage to labor oould be gained, disregarded them entirely. Placed on the defensive, CI.O. then proceeded to make a fatal blunder, Instead of admitting the charge which was true and agreeing to correct it or disregarding it entirely, John L. Lewis proceeded to justify it by abusing the steel Head who made it, and then resorted to force. 40,000 workers were ordered to march on Johnstown, Pennsylvania, pickets armed with clubs and firearms started to get busy, bombs were hurled, and a virtual state of civil war AT the outset Governors Earle and Davey called out state troops to uphold the strike. When this lawless condition developed, the former recalled the troops and kept still, the latter, kept them on the job, not to aid the strikers but to check them and keep the steel plants open I In other words because of Wagner Act, to which we called attention a few days ago, labor's irresponsibility on one hand and the failure to outlaw force and coercion, on the part of labor while doing so where capital is concerned this C.I.O. strike against Independent Steel failed. (Assuming again that it HAS failed.) SOME will credit the victory to the table thumping, linguistic mnl skinner. the vitunerative Girdler. We believe the victory was won in spite of Girdler not because of him. It was won as practically all racy are won, by an aroused public opinion. And public opinion was aroused because it demands fair piny, and will fight any force, labor, capital or what-not, that refuses to grant it. Criminal Negligence THE folly of locking the door after the horse is stolen is unonntorl in nrnelinallv everv department of modern life. except that of crime. In orime not only is the folly the principle is accepted as inevitable. We do practically noth ing about crime until AFTER the crime has been committed. Then as the mounting crime record demonstrates, we do little that checks it. We have our penitentiaries, our scaffolds and our electric chairs. We use them more and more. But crime goes on and on and on, increasing in extent and dostructive ncss, as the years roll by. THIS refusal to modernize our ,nH cnnfrnl anrl it trucin demonstrated in two cases, now uppermost in tha public mind. Both of them happened to break, on the front pages of last Sunday's paperi. One was the aiTest of Robert Irwin, former inmate of an Oregon reform school, who confessed to the murder of two women and a man, in New York last Easter. The other was the shocking tragedy in Ios Angeles where three little irls were murdered in cold blood by some crazed sex pervert, who is still at large. If we weren't still slumbering crime prevention is concerned, been prevented. According to press dispatches, it was known a sex pervert had been wandering around where the three girls were last done about it.

If the cry of mad dog is raised everyone runs for shelter, and the nearest shotgun. If a person suffering from leprosy is reported the entire community is aroused. Out the victim goes, before the sun sets. Society must he protected. Yet there are sex perverts, parnnoiacs, and various and sundry other "nuts'' with hnmieiditl and sadistic tendencies wanderings about who are just aa daugerous to the couiiuuuity Beaten?

Finally they are diseased, just as definitely diseased, as a dog with rabies, or a person with leprosy. All of this or a large part of it could be avoided if we had any system of preventive crime worthy of the name, compiled an accurate criminal census and checked on it, revised our inexcusably lax parole system and in a thousand other directions, acted on the principle, that the time to lock the stable door is BEFORE, not AFTER the horse is stolen ! !

The the ory o n which this treatment ts based is that this common off 11c tlon of men past middle age Is the consequence o f functional deficiency of the anterior pituitary Internal secretion. The same medicament, hypoder- mlcally Injected, has been found ef ficacious in correcting not only cryp torchidism In young boys but also the retarded or faulty development of boyst with undescended testicle. Such treatment has brought about entirely satisfactory results In nu merous cases where surgery would have been the only remedy a few years ago. The Introduction of transurethral prostatic resection In recent years has been a great boon to elderly gentle men cursed with prostatic hypertro phy. Although this comparatively easy alternative (for the patient) to the formidable perineal or supra pubic operation has alreedy aavad much life and more distress, It has been and la stilt condemned by some of the old guard on one pretext or another. In spite of this character istic medical attitude, many of the most competent urologists now em ploy the new method almost exclu sively for the treatment of prostatic obstruction and aa their experience with It and Its results grow they express the opinion that It should be the method of choice. Some good physicians report that X-ray treatment alone gives pro longed relief In many cases of pros tatic obstruction. This seems reas onable enough. The prostate gland la analagous with the uteras embry- a lop lenity. X-ray treatment Is com monly a boon for women with fi broida (myomata) or tumora of the litems.

The effect, the only serious effect of this almost physiological change of se nility, is mechanical obstruction of the bladder. For his own self-respect and the comfort of those about him. the old man who finds himself beginning to be troubled with un due frequency, especially at night, or with nearly or quite complete ob struction when exposed to cold or when taking a long ride, should make no compromise with fate but face the situation with good sense and courage.

Qt'ESTIONS AND ANSWERS Quartz Light Can surgical tuberculosis be helped or cured by the use of quartz light? I have had this for many years, with tiny opening on side and constant discharge. Have been advised to take Quartz Light treatment some of them claim it cures. (C. 8.) Answer. Ultraviolet light Is a val uable aid in the treatment of all forms of tuberculosis. Where sun bathing or open air life Is not avail able, the ultraviolet from a lamp Is beneficial. Of course, the supervi sion and advice of physician must be had. It would be foolish to de pend on ultraviolet treatment alone. TonMIs In one of your articles some time ago I read that children whose ton sils are removed become backward in their studies.

(Copyright. 1937, McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) - Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS IF YOU are Interested In France's troubles, which are making head lines these days, this paragraph from a Paris dispatch will tell you most of what you want to know: "Premier Chautemps the office of premier in France corresponds roughly to the office of President In the U. S.) is asking for the 'necessary powers' to re-establish France's flscsl structure on a firm bssis and restore the coun- ' - try'e confidence in itself by end ing speculation abuses, conserv ing gold reserves, balancing the budget, watching over prices and 'reviving national economies.' " LET'S see If we can put this para graph Into a little plainer lan guage: The "necessary powers" asked for by the premier are DICTATORIAL POWERS. The "speculative abuses' referred to have resulted from loss of confi dence in the value of the franc. Wild speculation always accompanies fall ing money values. Gold reserves have been lost because people have been trying to get their gold out of France and Into aafer countries.
