Closed-Shop Doctors” Union \
BY PETER EDSON |
NEA Washington Correspondent “
WASHINGTON,—THe Chicago Society of the.
American Medical Association refuses to accept as
members any doctors connected with pre-payment
health insurance systems, according to charges made
in Senate hearings on the Wagner_-‘Murray-Dingeu
national health bill. ‘
A .demand that the Sénate Committee on Educa
tion and Labor investigate these practices of or
ganized medicine is made by Dr. Lawrence Jac~-
ques of the Chicago Civic Medical Center and Alton
A. Linford of the Chicago Citizens’ Committee to
+ Extend Medical Care.
These charges made by Chicago’s Civic Medical
Center are, in general, similar to those directed at
the American Medical Association by the Group
Health Association of Washington. In a 1943
Supreme Court decision the A. M. A. was held to
be violating the anti-trust law by denying to physi
cians associated with the Group Health Association
the right to practice in District of Columbia hos-
pitals. . ]
According to the testimony of Dr. Jacques, direc
tor of Chicago’s Civic Medical Center, the physi
cians on his staff have been denied membership in
the A. M. A.'s Chicago Medical Society. This denial
of membership has existed in spite of the fact that
all of the Center’s doctors have been licensed to
practice medicine by the State of Illinois.
EXCLUSION RESTRICTS DOCTORS’
PRACTICE
Because the Chicago Medical Society won't take
in these Civic Medical doctors and give them the
equivalent of membership cards in the A, M. A.
closed-shop union, they are not permitted to prac
tice in many fields of medical science. |
They are not permitted to operate or see patients
in many hospitals. They can’t be admitted to the
staff of a medical school, there to teach or conduct
researcfh. They can’t take care of their share of the
charity patients in hospital wards.
They can't be certified as specialists by examining
boards. No casualty company will grant them mal
practice insurance. They are not permitted to serve
as medical officers in the U. S. Navy. And no other
state will grant them reciprocal licenses to practice
medicine within its boundaries.
The fight of the Civic Medical Center to have its
stats doctors admitted to membership in the Chicago
Medical Society has been going on behind the scenes
for more than ten years. The Center’s staff today
consists of five internists, nine specialists, four den-
tists and an optometrist.
They serve some 50,000 patients, of whom about
one-third pay a fixed monthly fee for full office and
hospital care. House calls are extra, but reduced
fees are charged for them. The other patients who
support the Center pay rixed fees for medical ser-
vice as rendered.
The Civic Medical Center was orgahized as a
partnership in 1935. For its first ten months the
Center advertised for patients, because it was, the
doctors felt, necessary to spread the word around as
to the services they had to offer. The last ad appear
ed on March 1, 1936.
“ADVERTISING” PROMPTED THE SOCIETY’S
ACTION ;
In 1937, the Center began its pre-payment medi
cal insurance system. As soon as the plan was an
nounced, doctors on the staff of the Center were
expelled from the Medica! Society. The charge wzs
that the doctors on the staff were indulging in the
unethical praetice of advertising.
Two years later, the Medical Center doctors be
gan their campaign for readmission to membership
in the Medical Society. Their application have been
renewed annually from 1940 to the present. Some of
the applications have been denied outright, others
have just been ignored.
Requests for personal appearances before the
Society’s membership committee and govering coun
cil have gotten nowhere, because the Center is still
accused of advertising. It seems that little printed
circulars explaining the Center’s pre-payment
health insurance plan have been kept on the tables,
with the old magazines, in the Center’s waiting and
receptioh rooms. ". T e

Much Ado About Suckers
A newcomer has stepped into the ‘spotlight re
cently occupied by Messrs. Lewis, Petrillo, Curran,
Bridges and others suspected of having an undue
persoual influence over the public weal and woe.
It is none other than Uncle Mike "Jacobs, the New
York boxing proemoter. :
,’ Mr. Jacobs has roused the interest of Rep. Donald
|O"Toole, a Brooklyn congressman, and Assistant
| Attorney General Wendell Berge since the Louis-
Conn exhibition of biff and ballet the other night.
u It seems that they entertain some thought that
Uncle Mike is a monopoly. A ,
Mr. O'Togcle ealled the eight-round maypole dance
‘{or the héavyweight championship a fraud and a
swindle.-He asked Boxing Commissioner . Eddie
Eagan to hold up the boxers’ purses and start an
investigation. He told Mr. Eagan that “it is the duty
of the commission to protect the public.” |
All of which may be very public-spirited, but we
won’t think the beut was either a fraud or a
swindle. Those words carry a connotation of secrecy
and deception. But the various elements of the fight,
theugh they may have added up to something that
smelled to heaven, weren't concealed from anyone
who took the trouble of reading the mewspapers.
It was no secret that neither Louis nor Conn had
a professional fight in five years. The fact was
duly recorded that both rusty gladiators had want
ed warmup. fights and that Mr. Jacobs had said no.
It was known and published that both boxers owed
the promoter six-figure sums. And' sports writers
ltook pains to point out that Uncle Mike was running I
no risk of having either debtor’s block knocked off
before he could match them and collect.
So the suckers who paid SIOO a ticket had reason
to suspect that they might not get { their money’s
worth. There was ample informatian at hand to
protect them from exploitation. No- dire threat or
physical violence was employed to get them to the
ticket windows.
But they laid it on the line, thousands of them,
ibecause the truism about one being born every
‘minute still holds good. -
~ But it might be be pointed out that onhly 45,000
suckers, instead of the predicted 75000, turned out
for young Mr. Conn’s pasting. And it might be pre~
dicted confidently that Uncle Mike'has offered his
last hundred-buck-top attraction. There’s a limit—
even for suckers. :
Congressman O’Toole’s heart m&y bleed for the
dopes who shelled out nearly $2,000,000 for the
fight. He may feel a glow of righteous wrath at Mr.
Jaecobs' promotional tactics. But we suggest that
there are other, more useful outlets for this public
servant’s crusading zeal.
The public really does need protection from such
things as inflation, depression, domestic chaos and
atomic war. We believe that Mr. O'Toole and his
colleagues might concentrate to good advantage on
trying to provide that protection. Their part in that
job, if conscientiously done, would leave no time
for tilting with windmills.
He’s Still Caesar
This year it is again permissible for students to
broadcast concerts from the National Music Camp at
Interlochen, Mich. The Lea (anti-Petrillo) Act
makes it unlawful for James Caesar Petrillo, the
musicians’ union president, to inge;;fer? with these
non-commercial education broadcasts as he did in
1942, when, by demanding that the broadcaster pay
stand-in union musicians for these concerts on
threat of a strike, he forced these programs off the
air.
But it appears that the 12-year-old broadcast
series will be resumed. No network has yet “found
time” for the programs. This undoubtedly disap
points Dr. Joseph Maddy, the camp director, but ‘it
can scarcely surprise him.
For it is evident that the networks still fear the
shrewd, resourceful, unpredi’ctable Mr. Petrillo.
They have a law of clear intent to protect them in
this very . matter. But Mr. Petrillo has already
broken that law in order to test it§ constitutionality.
Until there is a final decision, which will be a mat
ter of months and perhaps years, they do not dare
move. ?
And even if the decision should go against Mr.
Petrillo, it is a guestion whether the networks would
adare resume the broadcasts. So far, the union chief
has always managed to outsmart those who at
tempt to challenge his ‘power to tax and dictate to
the employers of musicians. It is not at all certair
that the networks believe that this power has been
checked.
If so, their doubts are probably justified, for they
reflect the inherent weakness of general laws tailor=
ed to fit the specific practices of an individual. They
can usually be gotten around.

Advised To Keep
Up Egg Production
Hot weataer will cause a drop
in egg production but Georgia
roultry . keepars who foliow
good management practices will
Le able to keep up production
during the summer months, ac~
cording to H. W. Bennett, poul
tryman of the State Agricultu
ral Exension Service.
l “Cull the layinz flock - care
fully and remove any non-pro
ducers and low producers,” Ben-~
nett advised. “Any hens that
have started to malt already are
not profitable producers and
thould be culled ‘rom: the flock.
“This close culling is especial
ly important with the present
feed situation anq feed prices,”
the poultryman said. “Culling
carefully will leave more feed
fer profitable layerg and for
pullets being raised ' for this
fall's laying flock. Laying hens
which are poor vroducers will
gtore yellow pigment in the skin
of the vent, eye rings, ear lobes
and beak.”
During hot weather hens are
inclined to eat lesg feed than
usual, he pointed outJ Since egg
production depends on feed con
sumiption, -feeding = riractices
lshould ‘be followeq which will
encourage layers to eat more
fedd. Laying mash should be
kep* befo-e' the heng at all times
‘and scfatch. grain fed late each
afternoon. Feeding pellets or
‘moistened mash during the mid
dle of the day will help to in
crease map&? conSumption.
Laying hens should be provid
ed with plenty of clean, fresa
water and with' oyster shell at
all times. Bennett declared. A
good supply of water should be
kept in the shade near feed
troughs and a container %f oys- l
ter shell should be kept hearby.
“Make sure laying hens are
nnt overcrowdeq and that ade
anate ventilation is provided
during hot weather,” the poul
tryman advised. “See that there
is plenty of floor and roost space
for the laying flovk ar.g that the
house is well ventilated but not
drafy.
“Infestations of lice and
mites will reduce the vitality of
toe laying flock and reduce egg
production,” he added. “If lice
and mites are fouad, start con
trol measures immediately.”
