MESSAGE
READ TO CONGRESS

the rights Of the individual wagework
er. All encouragement should be given
to any such organization so long as it
is conducted with due and decent re-
gard for the rights Of others. There
are in this country some labor unions
which have habitually and other labor
unions which have often been among
the most effective agents in working
for good citizenship and for uplifting
the condition Of those whose welfare
should be closest to our hearts. But
when any labor union seeks improper
ends or seeks to achieve proper ends
by improper means all good citizens,
md more especially all honorable pub
lie servants, must oppose the wrongdo-
ing as resolutely as they would oppose
the wrongdoing of any great corpora
ton. Violence, brutality or corruption
should not for one moment be tolerat-
ed.
Entire Right to Organise.
Wageworkers have an entire right
to organize and by all peaceful and
honorable means to endeavor to per-
suade their fellows to join with them
in organizations. They have a legal
right. which, according to circum-
stances, may OF may not be a moral
right to refuse to work in company
with men who decline to join their or
ganizations. They have under no cir
cumstances the right to commit VIC
lence upon those, whether capitalists
or wageworkers, who refuse to support
their organizations or who side with
those with whom they are at odds, foI
mob rule is intolerable in any form.
The wageworkers are peculiarly enti
tied to the protection and the encour
agement of the law. Wherever the ma
tional government has power there
should be a stringent employers liabil
ity law, which should apply to the gov
ernment itself where the government
is an employer Of labor.

Mr.. Lynch read a long article refer

in Wilmington. He submitted the petit

that further information in the matter
would be presented before the commits
sion at some future date.
The alternative proposition Of the OF

a Horrible State Dis
ease and DiE

The crusade against impure milk now
being made and which is being fought
by tho farmers. bids fair to bring out
many horrible conditions that those
who are consuming milk every day
have no idea Of.
The farmers contend that the people
Of the city are going too far when they
demand that the dairies shall be in
spected and II in proper sanitary condl-
tion a certificate will be given. They
are making strenuous objections on all
sides.
The condition OF milk being sold in
/ the city has been greatly benefited by
the constant watchfulness OF the milk
inspector and almost $500 have been re-
ceived from fines OF milkmen who were
selling an impure product Now that
the quality OF the milk has been as
sured attention has been directed to
the conditions through which 1t is pro-
duced.
Diseased Cattle Found.
In number OF dairies which have al
ready been inspected conditions have
been found which fully justify the pro-
vision Of the new ordinance. In one
of these dairies a COW was found in the
last stages Of tuberculosis and the milk
from this animal was being sold every
day. In another place the cows were
p in a barn with hogs and in others tho
- cattle were found to be standing in ma
l nure and slime almost knee deep.
T. When people realize that the milk
, they are feeding their babies and them
: selves, too. for that matter, is gotten
n. L. a.
the crusade for pure milk is being made.
Statistics show that the milk is respon-
, sible for the death OF almost one-fourth
, Of the young children.
Despite the protest Of the farmers
and dairymen who claim the authori-
ties are overstepping their bounds in
/. examining the dairies, the work will 90
r on and only those places that are found
+ to be sanitary will be given certificates.
, Useless Threats.
The dairymen have threatened to stop
sending milk to the city and ship It to
Philadelphia instead. This move has
been blocked by DR.. p. Martin, Director
, of Public Health of that city. In a
letter to DR.. A. Robin, OF this city, ha
states that any dairyman who refuses
10 submit TO an inspection will be pre-
vented from shipping or selling milk in
Philadelphia and that any dairies turn
= ed down here viii be similarly treated
by the Philadelphia authorities. Dr.
Robin has also received a letter from a
first-class dairy In West Chester offer
ing to supply milk to the local dealers.
Sending Diseased Cows Here.
II There has been an ordinance passed
T in Pennsylvania that all cows suffering

and according to Dr. Pierson, the

COWS are being sent over the border in
