unionize New Yorks police force the Teamsters are going after the citys voluntary hospitals Henry Felnsteln president of Local 237 says it Is going to be fun to try to orce these nonprofit institutions to bow to him Two other unions which belong to the AFL CI0 are also trying to organise everyone excepI administrators and medic and nursing person nel All this Is going on dos lie the fact thifl vol untary hospitals are legs exempt from cel leciive bargaining bills now pending In Albany would remove this exemption But the Teamsters have weapon which our er unions lack They could cripple has ital because no truck driver would cross their chat line and no food or anything else could be deliv ered They did this to the WaldorfAstoria In hides favor to the Barbara Union which was trying to organize the homers there and the Waldorf had to give in This would obviously create hnlmpossible sit uation in effect turning the lives of the patients Into Tesmstcr bargaining counter Presum ably it could never come to that But Mr Felo sieins threats are disquieting It is true ihat ianitors porters dishwashers and other lowwage hospital employees are not blind somely paid as rule

roughAandready but fairly accurate barometer of economic coo diilons In one limes thisinvcstmentsm In bad times it doesnt it even contrscts There is cause and effect about this When capital investment levels off or staris to fall it has an effect on the entire economy Any slowing up of such investment is creative of re EESSIGII That is particulsrly true of the current retes sioo it hasnt been caused by any drastic drop in consumer purchases which have held up rerpsrk ablywell except in few categories Rather it was due largely to slackening of industrial and business expansion And the re
