PAPERS PROPAGANDIZE
T B SURVEY HERE
Survey Committee’s Report Proves
Disease Can Be Placed Directly
At Door of City Health De
partment and Heartless
Landlords.
“Bight percent of Negro population
victims of dread white plague here”—
Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph.
“Tuberculosis kills six negroes for
every white"—Pittsburgh Press.
“Tuberculosis takes heavy toll
among colored folk"—Pittsburgh Post
Gazette.
These were the glaring headlines
which caught the eye and attention of
thousands of readers of the three
daily Pittsburgh newspapers Wednes
day, as they capitalized on the re
port of the Tuberculosis Survey Com
mittee, and made subtle, but none
the-less deadly propaganda of human
misery and suffering.
The headl.nes, supported in only a
minor degree by the articles which
followed, have aroused the public in
dignation of thousands of colored citi
zens in the city, who see in the way
the articles are played, a reaction
which is bound to be harmful.
Many people, while not disputing
the authenticity of the find.ngs of the
Negro Health Survey^ conducted un
der the supervision of Dr. C. Howard
Marcy of the Tuberculosis League of
Pittsburgh, with Miss Alice Stewart
and Nurse Elsie Witchen assisting,
feel that publication of the findings
of the committee will go a long way
to thwart the real purpose of the sur
vey.
The White Man’s Burden
Interesting among the things
brought out by the survey, which in
cluded but 8,385 people, and those
mostly in the poorer and more con
gested neighborhoods, is the fact that
this continues to be the “white man’*
problem.”
The survey brought forth the fact
that tuberculosis is NOT an inherited
radial disease. Place whites in the
same conditions and under the same
circumstances as those which pre
vailed among the Negroes who were
examined, and it is believed that the
percentage would be as high, if not
h.gher.
The burden for the appalling fig
ures disclosed in the survey has placed
the blame for the condition directly at
the door of the white race.
What is wrong with a City Health
Department which allows realtors to
rent properties which should be razed ?
What is wrong with a City Health
Department that allows six people to
live in ONE room in tumble-down
hovels, worse than pigpens, and
forced to share common faucets, cups,
toilets and beds?
What is wrong with a C*.ty Health
Department that knows and “winks”
at the fact that ONE WATER HY
DRANT must supply 24 FAMILIES?
What is wrong with a City Health
Department that allows an aged cou
ple (and still they fight the pension
Bill) to cower in a tin garage Without
water or toilet?
What is -wrong with a City Health
department which doesn’t know (or
refuses to know) that a mother, fath
er, eight children, and the baby of a
16-year-old unwed girl were forced
to be herded into TWO ROOMS, as
their only protection against wintry
blasts?
What is wrong with a City Health
Department which allows a scummy
spring, chocked with offal, used as an
open sewage drain, to flow through the
back yard of another tenement?
i he White Man’s Burden
Certainly, it’s the white man’s bur
den. We are living in the United
States of America, A. D. 1935. It’s
a white man’s world, white-controlled!
It is his love for the Almighty Dollar
-—His God—which permits of such
conditions.
He feels that he can afford to wink
at these conditions. Perhaps he can.
But he must realize that tuberculosis
is confined to no race or color!
Certainly, Negroes admit that the
death rate is high, but under the con
ditions, exaggerated by social and eco
nomic disadvantages and fighting a
bare-handed, one-sided fight, it’s only
by a miracle of superb health-back
ground, that the condition is not far
worse.
“T. B.” Not Hereditary
We wonder why the daily news
papers did not search through the re
port and bring out public attention
that tuberculosis is not hereditary?
We wonder why these same daily
newspapers did not play up the fact
that there are only three overworked
field nurses to care for the patients?
We wonder why these same daily
newspapers did not look deep into the
survey and bring into bold display the
fact that Leech Farm admits ONLY
ONE NEGRO out of 20 PATIENTS,
when THEY KNOW that the death
rate among Negroes from tuberculosis
is six times that of whites?
We wonder why these same city
p editors and rewrite men, who allowed
their puny personalities to be reflected
in their headlines, didn’t bring out
the fact that the average length of
hospitalization for a Negro paient at
Leech Farm was THREE MONTHS—
a period of time which would do no
good in treating the ailment.
What Anmy Records Show
I We wonder if the city editors of
these same daily newspaper* can re
member back to the World War, when
General Enoch H. Crowder, in charge
of the select ve draP, made the public
statement that records in his office
showed that of the 400,000 eligible
Negro soldiers, their health rating,
relatively speaking, was higher than
that of the whites.
The survey revealed clearly that the
ferocity of the “white plague’s” at
tack on the city’s colored population is
due “not so much as to the inherited
racial tendencies” as to inadequate
housing.
Summarizing its 142-page report,
the survey committee states that “the
control of tuberculosis among the Ne
groes of Pittsburgh depends upon the
provision of adequate facilities for
active cases and for the prevention
of the spread of the infection.”
To accomplish this, it recommends
that the city health department es
tablish a separate bureau of tubercu
losis control, operating six clinics in
the city; maintain a bureau of public
health nursing to supervise and carry
out the entire nursing program, and
enlarge the capacity of Leech Farm by
200 beds, to be apportioned among
colored persons in the ratio of colored
deaths from tuberculosis.
FANTASTIC
A NEW BRIGHT SPOT WILL
TWINKLE ALONG 24th St.
The “Fantastic” luncheon and bar,
located on the southwest corner of
24th and Charles Street, will be one
of the most brilliantly decorated spots
in the city.
A beautiful silver chrome and black
glass decorative scheme in the lunch
eon room is the first thing that strikes
the eye upon entering the “Fantastic”.
A large counter done in black glass
occupies most of the space here, with
comfortable wicker stools, insuring
roomy convenience for the diners.
Along the north wall are several cozy
tables. The lighting in the luncheon
room comes from dozens of bright
lamps concealed in the upper walls be
hind heavy panes of frosted glass.
The tap room is at a lower level and
is reached by a small stairway at the
back of the luncheon room. Here the
same silver chrome and black glass
are used in the decorations, but the
feature of this room is a 25-foot bar
covered with a single solid slab of
Honduras Mahogany, the only bar
covering of this type in Omaha.
Comfort of the patrons has been the
main consideration of the builders, and
the latest modern inventions have
been installed to insure comfort in
the “Fantastic.” Several electric fans
and air outlets have been provided,
and the ceilings are of a special type
through which the bad air and smoke
are forced outside. A modern air
blower and several wire-glass air
filters will keep a steady stream of
pure cool air flowing through the
place.
A special beer storage room has
been built underground w>.th thick
cork and concrete walls to keep the
beverages cool. The temperature is
kept at 40 degrees here, and the beer
is pumped underground to the lunch
eon and bar rooms, where sanitary
Temprites, instantaneous cooling de
vices, regulate the beer temperature
and guarantee a cool drink regardless
of the outside tempeature.
The kitchen, filled with new sanitary
equipment, is located between the
luncheon and bar rooms.
The “Fantastic” promises to be one
of the most popular spots in this sec
tion of the city, offering as it does a
complete line of tasty, well-cooked
foods and a wide choice of drinks.

PROTEST BILL TO
INCREASE COST OF
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Washington, D. C., April 5.—Anal
yzing various phases of the Rayburn
bill which he termed “drastic”, S. R.
Inch, President of the Electric Bond
and Share Company called to the at
tention of the House Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee that no
plan has been presented as a substi
tute for the present locally-regulated,
privately-operated public utility sys
tem.
“Certainly nothing so drastic as this
bill should be enacted into law, unless
and until those who would destroy
what now exists have prepared and
submitted a definite and workable plan
of procedure,” Mr. Inch Baid.
Effects of the Rayburn bill would
ultimately increase the costs of elec
tric and gas service to the consumer
and by demoralizing loeal companies
would impair service, Mr. Inch also
stated.
A large numoer oi operating
companies receiverships would inevita
bly follow the passage of this bill be
cause necessary financing now ob
tained from holding companies, would
not be forthcoming,” said Mr. Inch.
“This would result in general demoral
ization and would increase, costs to
electric and gas users for the simple
reason that it would increase the cost
of money necessary for continuance
and expansion of the utility business.”
Mr. Inch brought out that the elec
tric and gas industries, if accorded
I'air treatment and cooperation from !
government, could be great leaders in
the drive for business recovery.
“The way back to prosperity is
through the re-establishment of busi
ness confidence which will permit pri
vate tax-paying capital to go to work
again,” he said.
“Then the next five years, instead
of seeing the demoralization and de
struction of these great industries as
private enterprises under this bill
would see them again engaged in con
structive expansion.
“The same five years instead of
bringing about the ruin of millions of
investors would bring recovery to
their investments and the restoration
of their Income, from which new taxes
would accrue to government.
Mr. Inch hrought out that in 1930
these two industries spent more than
a billion dollars on construction alone
in an effort to help stem the depres
sion.
“Our own associated companies are
now spending $25,000,000 a year for.
construction,” said Mr. Inch. “In nor
mal years they spend a hundred mil
lion dollars a year. This is just an in
dication of what these industries mean
; in the drive for business recovery.
“During the depression years the
Electric Bond and Share Company
and its associated holding companies
invested $144,000,000 in building and
unifying two natural gas systems.
This created employment for thous
j ands, with benefits to their communi
ties and protected investors who would
have suffered severe losses unless we
had come o their aid.
“These developments represent real
r.nd outstanding contributions to so
cial stability and business recovery
during the worst years of the depres
sion and they could not have been car
ried out and put into successful oper
ation without the financial assistance
of our company.”
Mr. Inch said that the money they
put into these projects is still in them
and he said, “the reward now offered
to our stockholders is that their prop
erty shall be taken from them without
compensation.”
The same can be said of their ef
forts to develop the foreign market,
Mr. Inch said.
“If this bill becomes a law, we must
sacrifice $250,000,000 we have invest
ed in foreign countries,” he said. “Our
government which now would force us
to get rid of our foreign holdings,
urged us to enter the foreign utility
field as a means of creating closer
ties between the United States and
various foreign countries and as a
means of creating new markets for
American made goods.”
Mr. Inch warned that if his com
pany was forced to give up their for
eign investments, it would be acquired
by foreign interests, closing these im
portant markets to American people.
Mr. Inch brought out also that if
this bill is passed “investors generally
will regard it as the first step toward
nationalization of the industry.
“Many believe that its purpose is to
acoomplish government ownership or
at least government management,
without compensation,” Mr. Inch con
tinued. “With this weakening in the
investment field I see little hope that
private enterprise can survive in this
field.”

Mr. Inch branded as false, claims
that owners of public utility securities
will lose nothing if this bill passes. He
said these statements are incorrect
and misleading to the security own
ers.
Mr. Inch championed diversity in
business. He sad diversity is the
principle upon which most kinds of
successful business is based. He used
insurance companies as an example.
The reults of diversity as one of the
principal contributions of the utility
industries to social progress he
brought out by showing how metro
politan utility service was brought to
village, hamlet and farm.
“The Electric Bond and Share Com
pany is not a ‘paper’ organization,”
Mi. Inch said. “We furnish our client
companies with necessary expert ser
vice at a charge which represents
less than one-fortieth of one cent per
kilowatt hour sold. The advent of
our company has always brought
about improved service and lower
rates. The customers of our associat
ed companies have been saved over
$64,000,000 in rate reduction since
1929.”
Discussing write-ups, he said that
write-ups of their properties have
never increased rates.
Wite-ups are merely reflected in
book values at a particular time, Mr.
Inch brought out. He said rates are
not based on book values but on the
set principle of a fair return on a
fair valuation of the actual property
used and useful in public service.
“Write-ups or write-downs can have
no effect on rates,” he said. In con
nection with our associated companies
rate reductions invariably followed,
in many cases immediately, and in all
cases at an early date.”
S nee service hs been good and
rates reasonable, how can the present
demand for the abolition of the hold
ing company and the drastic federal
regulation of local operating compan
ies be for the well-being of the public
utility user, Mr. Inch brought out.

Young was hated and feared
