She Saved n Life,

Miss Mildred Gratigny of Cincinnati
recently saved the life of Robert San
borne of Jackson, Mich, at Clark S
lake, a Michigan summer resort.
While on the lake with a party of
friends a sudden squall capsized their
little yacht. All except Sanborne were
expert swimmers and started for the
shore. When she saw Sanborne help
less in the water, Miss Gratigny turned
back and caught the man as he was
about to sink for the third time. She
towed him to the yacht, which was
floating bottom upward, and kept his
head above water until help arrived.

unions would be at the mercy of every
court where sympathy or personal in
terest tilted the judge in the slightest
degree the other way. AS it is now,
violation of an injunction reacts only
upon the direct violators. As 1t would
be then, a union could be demolished
If any of its members disobeyed the
orders of a judge.
If Incorporated, the power of the
labor union to control its membership
at all times, regarding only eXpedi-
ency and its own preservation, would
be greatly abridged. The existence of
the labor union is dependent upon the
enforcement of the will Of the majority
and the maintenance Of discipline.
Put union on n plane where 1t could
be hailed to court at the instigation of
member suspended or expelled for
"scabDing" or other violation of rules
and that union could be made the prey
Of every unprincipled and weakened
workman in the trade. The right to
absolutely govern the terms of men,
bership and the conditions of reinstate-
ment Is one that labor unions cannot
afford to surrender.
The tendency of labor unions in this
country is toward fuller democracy
In the management of their affairs.
The adoption of the referendum is one
of the evidences of this tendency. In
corporation would certainly result in
the Capitalization of control. This ef-
feet alone of incorporation would de-
stroy the unions Your rank and file
labor unonist feels that he is an i'm
portant part of the organization, and
so he is. Attempt to restrict his pow
ers in this particular, and he quits.
Labor's belief that law and the courts
are for the benefit of the owners of
wealth may Ne deemed by many un-
warranted, but has it not grounds for
the belief? More than one-half of the
laws enacted are for the protection of
property. Labor is not a heavy prop
erty owner. Organized labor has Sc
cured the passage of laws in its inter
est. Many of them have been declared
unconstitutional by the courts. The
laborer has seen the poor man sent to
Jail for petty offense and the rich
thief go free through technicalities of
the law as interpreted by some judge.
At best law is costly, and the laborer,
individually and collectively, is too
poor to indulge in the luxury. Law
yerS who have the winning way in cor
poration cases come high and stay late.
For these and other like reasons the
labor union is opposed to exchanging
the old and fairly successful way of
lighting it's battles for courtrooms gen
orally presided over by judges whose
training and environment make them
untitled TO see labor's cause through
sympathetic glasses.
Labor in England just now is hav-
ing a taste of recognition in the courts.
The Taft Vale Railroad company is
suing the Amalgamated Society of Rail
way Servants for damages incurred
during the strike of 1900. English jul
rists say that the case involves the JUS
tice of strikes, the right of employees
to strike. What the decision will be it
is hard to say, but if such n case came
up in this country and the courts decid-
ed that strikes were never justitiable
organized labor would pay with its life
for its standing in law.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1901-10-11
TIE rNIoNIsr POSITION.

LBy Joseph r. Buchanan, labor editor of the
American Press Association.l
The incorporation of labor unions is
question almost as old as the unions
themselves. A majority of the leading
unionists of this country are emphatic
ally opposed to the idea. The disad-
vantages growing out of incorporation
would, they say, far outweigh the ad-
vantages, and the so called advantages
would be two sided. Take, for in
stance, the holding of property. An in
corporated union would be enabled to
protect its property by eXacting of its
officers bonds, against which, if neces-
sary, suits could be instituted but the
property would also be subject 10 the
orders of court In case against the
union. The funds of a national union
could be attached pending the decision
of a court in a suit for breach of con-
tract by local union, even when such
breach was in absolute violation of
the national unions expressed will.
Therefore it is question whether the
right to sue. with its corollary, would
be of benefit to trades unions in their
present stage of development.
In recent years labor unions have
had just cause to dread government
by Injunction" Incorporated the

The Young Women's Christian asso-

lished annual reports gives some in
teresting statistics regarding the work
accomplished by it. Two hundred and
eighty pupils entered the educational
and industrial classes last year and
1,072 persons enjoyed the gymnasium.
The domestic science and Christian
worker schools enrolled 60 pupils, and
in the training school for domestics SO
were instructed. The mercantile
schools, with III pupils, and the Bible
class, with 225 members, complete the
class department

White Haven Sanitorium.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The provision made by the state in
the White Haven Sanitorum empha-
sizes the need for like action by the city
of Philsdsl phia.
Consumption has wholly changed its
position during the last twenty years,
though neither the public nor medical
schools have awakened to the Signif-
cance of this alteration. Instead of be-
ing 4 hopeless malady, under which
those stricken must waste away, it is
a disease as 2menable to treatment as
any which affiicts man. But this treat
ment is altogether outside OF the reach
of those wis live in city and are wage
earnsrs. They cannot by any possibility
provide themselves with the fresh air,
nutritious feed or even the special treat
ment or knowledge which is required for
a sure.
The White Haven Sanitorium, which
is only part OF the admirable work
done by the Free Hospital for Poor
Consunptires, has in its first months
demonstrated the rapidity with which
improvement can be effected if those
diseased are removed from eramped
and illvsatlated quarters to open, fresh
air Such s. hospital, however, can meet
only small percentage of the cases.
This city needs to provide itself with
larger means for over 1000 poor con-
sumptiye patients, four-ifths OF whom
could be saved and restored to life if
this city were to expend for this pur-
pose moderate sum. The ordinary
physician in a busy practice cannot
make the tests which are needed. The
ordinary aSpensary cannot furnish the
advice which is required. No one of
our hospitals is provided with the open
air where it is needed for this work
though any one of them could do so on
its roof if it were to follow foreign ex-
ample.
The city has at Roxborough aims
house site ideal in its purposes, south
ern in its exposure, elevated, where a
suitable hospital could be built wholly
isolated, affecting no dwellings. If a
beginning were made with suitable
appropriation, providing dispensary
and prsvidins ward on simple scale,
as has been done in barn at White
HaveR, it woHld be possible to gain
what is, after all, TIE best purpose to
which money can be put, the saving to
the community of valuable human lives
There Will otherwise not only be lost
TO themselves but will prove disas-
trous burden on the honest wage-earn-
ing family, which snds itself under the
sad blight which comes with case of
consumption in the small houses and in
the narew quarters of humber city
