they can be thrown iato vapors so fne
that there are A million globules OF oil

These vapOrs penetrate the deeper

directly in contact with the diseased

LABOR ORGANIZERS
BUSY THESE DAYS
Secretary Morrison Briefly Reviews
Their Activity.

Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor. will
leave Washington tomorrow for New
castle. Pa. His purpose is to effect an
amalgamation Of the two central labor
unions at that place Several months ago
a party in the labor organization OF
Newcastle, broke away from the center
and formed a new organization because
Of alleged mismanagement in the parent
body
Mr.. Morrison will also stop at Pitts
burg to meet the corps Of organizers
working there among the metal trade
labOrers. The organizers have been
especially successful in the Westing-
house shops lately
Mr. Morrison says three times as many
labor organizations have been effected in
the United States during the past three
months as In the corresponding time a
year ago. He estimates that the ranks
Of the Federation of Labor will have
increased 500. 600 at the close Of the
last fiscal year was 300. 600. This large
increase. he says. is the natural result
of work done in the past and is due to
the efforts Of organizers Of different
unions. Today there are over a thousand
district organizers in the field, and about
forty travelling organizers.
The results Of the coal strike. said
Mr. Morrison. seem to have aided the
movement of federation in labor circles.
