Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1894-06-28

The Ann Arbor meetings OF the Sec
ond annual conference Of health officers
of Michigan were devoted tQ contagious
diseases. DIR. Vaughan, OF the State
Board OF Health, discussed the cause,
restriction and prevention OF typhoid
fever. Typhoid fever is filth disease
not caused by any specific germ. 1t
may be present in the ar. DIR. Gray.
OF Detroit, spoke OF the duties Of
health officers in typhoid cases. 1t
was necessary to learn the origin OF
the disease. DIR. Reynolds, OF Chicago,
spoke upon the recent outbreak OF
smallpox In Chicago. He believed the
disease germ to be OF O very delicate
nature and easily destroyed. 1t could
not live and pass through 200 feet Of
fresh air. He said it was not crime
for a physician not to be able to dag
nose a case of smallpox offhand. 1t
required deliberation. The consensus
of opinion was that in any suspected
case great care should be used.

the association was welcomed by A. f.
Temple and ex-Gov. II. ii. Holt. In
the afternoon Gov. John II. Rich spoke.

been thinking of for some time. Labor
Is organized, but it is without author
ity or legal standing On the other
hand, the State has given great pow
ers to corporations which, while they
give many advantages, also guide and
control them. Why not confer upon
the labor unions legal standing, GER
tain powers and duties: give them GER
tain privileges, and at the same time
put it in the power OF the State to con-
troll them? l mean to provide for the
lawful organization of labor with
proper powers and standing in court.

sible for what l say Bat myself. The
great middle class of the past is being
wiped out and two classes are coming
in, the employers and the employed.
For this reason we must set higher
price upon American citizenship We
can trust the American bed boy, but
the foreigner must show himself mt.
We must look out after those who have
no respect for government abroad and
none here. We must guard the fran
chise more religiously than in the
past.
