ATTACK AMERICAN CUSTOMS
Austro-Hungarian Exporters Declare
European Imports UnjustIy
Handled.

VIENNA, June s.-The Austrian and
Hungarian Exporters association has sent
a circular to its members regarding what 1t
describes as the chicanery practised by the
America customs appraisers in handling
European imports.
The circular points out that much in
justice results from the course of pro-
cedure in the case of appeal from the
decision of the appraisers, the importers
not being permitted sufficient time to obtain
proofs from the country of origin that their
invoices correspond to the market value of
the goods in the country where they are
manufactured.
The members are invited TO inform the
association OF all cases where they suffer
similar injustice. IN order that collective
evidence may be submitted to the American
government.

BUILDING BOARD is SPLIT
Sixteen Unions Desert General Body
and Walk out of COnven-
tiOn.

NEW YORK. June s--sIxteen Of the
strongest labor unions in the United Board
OF Building Trades deserted that body to-
day after the most eventful meeting in it's
history. Thirty-six unions had delegates
at the meeting. In all there are thirty
nine unions in the united board, and it's
total membership exceeds 6S, 900 of the high
est paid workmen in the country.
The united board has always been regarded
as one of the most powerful labor organ
izations in the country. Until the factionaI
fight developed a week ago, when a number
of radical delegates under the guidance of
Samuel j. Parks upset the plans OF the
men who wanted to end the disastrous
building tieup by expelling the Material
Drivers union from the central body. The
organization was always known for its
conservatism and moderation.
Last Wednesday, when the Parks faction
won. the material drivers and handlers
were given time to decide whether they
would voluntarily withdraw from the
united body. They refused to withdraw
There was a call for their expulsion and
when the matter was put to a vote the re-
suit was 20 to l6 IN favor of the drivers.
President John Donovan then left the
hall. He was followed by Vice President
Lennon and the delegates of fourteen
other organizations making sixteen In all.
The seeding unions are: Amalgamated
Society of Carpenters and Joiners, Anal
gamated Sheet Metal Workers Plain and
Ornamental Plasterers. Plumbers and Gas
Filters, local No. 2; Electrical Workers
No. g. Marble Cutters. Mosaic and En-
crustic Tile Layers, Tile Layers HELPERS.

ters' Helpers. Granite Cutters, United Der
riekmen. Riggers and Pointers Journey
men stonecutters, Brotherhood OF Painters
and Decorators, Slate, Tile and Metal Roof
ers. and Elevator Contractors.
The unions which voted in favor OF the
material drivers were for the most part
those composed OF unSkillsd Worknsn.

While some antitoXins have been

GERMS OF DISEASES.
They Are Now Being Harnessed by
Medical Investigators.
How BaciIIi Are Isolated, Tested and
PrOpaGHted - Important Part
Played by Horses and
Guinea Pigs.
Especial New York Letter.l


HIS is essentially the age of an
titoNins, extreme cases of the
hair of the dog curing the
bite. New discoveries are constantly
being made, both of the specific
germs causing certain diseases and
methods of utilizing them for their
own destruction. 1t is well known
that if person were shut up in a
room for an extended length of time
where no fresh air was allowed
to enter death would ensue be-
cause the air in the room, breathed
over and over, would become charges
with poisons given out by the body,
and there would soon be no fresh air
to feed upon. In the case of dis
ease germ much the same condition
prevails. 1t must have fresh material
to feed upon, as the juices it throws
off are certain poison to itself.
Hence, if to the blood of a person
containing germs of a disease, suffi-
cient quantity of the effete material
furnished by the germ itself be
added, the small pest dies because it
has no fresh food, free from its own
specific poison, upon which to feed.
In the case of many of our most com
mon and virulent diseases the bacil-
lss has been isolated and for their
treatment an antitoXin has been Sc
cured.
Nearly everyone is aware that the
antitONins in general use are OBJ
tanned from horses, and the methods
of securing them are being constant
ly improved upon. OF course the first
thing to be considered is the iSola-
ton of the offending microbe from
the thousands of different variety
which surround it. This presupposes
the fact that the wicked one is so
well known as to be Recognizable
that his portrait hangs in the germ
rogues' gallery.
After the bacteria are removed
from sufferer, they are more care
fully cultivated than most plants, the
usual medium being bouillon prepared
