II they were TO go with their clothes. the
world would not be moved deeply nor

and evidences are not lacking OF the

Plain statements and caustic truths like
this were plentiful In an address by Presi-
dent Andrew Sloan Draper at the COM

Physicians and Surgeons of the Univer-

was THE Personal Equation In the Medi-
cal Profession
"In view OF all the things which modern
scientific knowledge enables one TO know

tinued. there II too much uncertainty.
too much laundering In medical practice.

be easily ascertained is an offense against
decency and should be an offence against

morning and among the contracts receiv-
ed was one for the erection of a eix-fam-

gang of 20 men were put to work by
the cooperative shop this morning and In
a few days IL is expected that all the
men on strike will be employed on con-
tract work received by the cooperative
shop.
Room IL OF the Labor Temple will be
used as temporary headquarters OF the
shop till a central location has been Sc
cured. Pres. Dry Conery OF Local 632 Is
negotiating for a shop and has looked up
several places but definite choice had
not been made this morning.
The picket system is receiving more at
tention than ever and every man on
strike Is doing picket work. Members of
the Master Carpenters have had no sue
cess In their effort to secure out-of-town
carpenters as the building business seems
to be brisk all over the country and car

ed 10 employ all the men on strike. but

to work. many OF them getting consider
able more than the union demand OF
$3.50 per day. Mr. Wilkinson in an in
tervlew with the News representative to-
day stateo that he required the best OF
carpenters I'm h!s business and paid his
men i'm several cases much more than
$3.50 per day He is a member OF the
