of Scenes of Bloodshed.
REMOVAL OF UNION LABEL.

Chicago, Dec. I4-W. B. Briptop.
president of the Peru Plor company,
said ut the banquet of tine Illinois
Manufacturers association:
'If the fight for the closed shop is
allowed to continue there will be
scenes of bloodshed in this country
that. will surpass thc days of the
French revolution. The closed shop IS
un-American, unrigh,cous, restric-
ton OF the liberties OF our peonle and
death blow 70 the individualism that
makes for success"
The statement was cheered by the
six hundred members Of the asGocia-
ton present.
Our rights declared Mr.. Brinton,
"are dependent on the settlement of
the question once for all us 10 whether
an employer may hire whom he pleases
without being subject to the Gictation
of any organized body. Tho Chicago
City railway has won great victory
in establishing its right 10 engage its
own employees. Without this right,
which is becoming recognized by the
great mass of people. the commercial
supremacy of the United States will be
ut an end"
Another speal.cr declared that after
the abolition of the ''closed shop" the
removal of tho unicn label is the most
important thing that has como under
consideration of the Manufacturers
association at this meeting.

Can Not be Changed.
Topeka, Dec. 1.-THE supreme court
has denied rehcaring in the case Of
John NJ. Miller against the Knights
and Ladies of Security. This is :, case
of great Importance to the fraternal
societies in the state. John n. Miller
was an elderly memb Der of the lodge.
He had become 4 mem Der when the
mortuary assessments of all members
were equal y few years ago the
council OF the lodge attempted TO
change the plan of ;ssessncn and
compel lnembcrs to pay according to
their ages. Miller rendered tho amount
he had been paying regularly to ). r.
Tnttlc, the clerk, and the latter re-
fused to accept the money. Miller
brought suit TO compel tho clerk 10
accept tho assessment which he had
been paying since he became Il member.
The lower courts held that tho policy
issued to Miller was in the form of u
con tract, and that tho lodge could moi
violate this contract by compelling an
older member to pay IL larg-r fec. The
supreme court sustained this decision
and has mo-. denied tho lodge a re-
hearing.

Never before in the annals of medicine has
