GET FOUR CENTS A VISIT,
Sick Fund Society Physiciams dn Cor
many Plan to Strike Against
1nSuha cieut Fees.

Medical periodical announce that
physicians throughout Germany who
are employed by sick fund societies will
strike on July 1. They complain of in
sufficient fees, which under the inva-
lids insurance law are only 20 pfen-
nigs, or about four cents, for each
visit.
The medical professionals overcrowd-
ed, and great majority of physicians
are obliged to accept contracts with
sick societies. Doctors at Gera and
Mulhausen already have struck, and
the managers of sick funds at these
places are compelled to pay the ordi-
1ary fees.
The National Physicians league,
which supported the strike in these
towns, will manage the general strike.
Among other things the physicians
demand that the patients, instead of
the sick fund managers, be allowed to
choose their physicians.

CONSTITUTION CHANGED.
Legion Will Pay Dividends Based on
Earnings in the Future.

The delegates to the National
Protective Legion returned from
Buffalo Wednesday we'll pleased
with the trip and the meeting. Mrs.
L. D. Rowley was the delegate from
the local branch and P. O'Brien
from the Iron River lodge.
Mr.. O'Brien states that there were
900 delegates in attendance at the
session and that they were among,
the most representative of the.
American business world.
The constitution was slashed all
to pieces by amendments 80 that
it hardly looks like the same in
strument. This action was made
necessary by the refusal of num-
Der of insurance commissioners to
allow the fraternity to do business
in their states. Letters were read
from nearly every commissioners in
the United States and the recon-
mendation of the insurance COM
missioner of the state of Ohio was
finally taken as model.
The new constitution is to take
effect on January 1 next. Until that
time, the five year policies matur-
ing will receive the 100 per cent just
as has been paid in the past. After
that date the premium will be the
earnings for the previous five years.
In other words, dividend rate is
to be established every five years
and will last for the next succeed
ing five years, every policy matur-
ing within that period receiving the
rate of dividend which the earnings
of the previous five years will allow.
On January LIST, next, the execu-
tive committee will figure up the
earnings for the past five years. If
1t amounts to Is per cent on the
amount of policies to expire within
the next five years than the dividend
that each policy will draw will be
ID per cent. If it amounts to so per
cent, then the dividend will be 50
per cent.
1t was figured::outlthat at the ZOO
per cent dividend rate the organ
ization could last Is years. The
commissioners insisted that provi
sion be made for the succeeding
years and in order to do this it was
necessary to base the dividend rate
on the earning instead of the
haphazard guess of the past.
1t is probable that the Legion
will lose lot of members due to
the cut but it is upon a firm basis
and persons joining may have no
fear but that they will get their
money back, thing that was not
certain under the arrangement of
the past.-Crystal Falls Drill.

Removed Toll Charges.

The Mesaba Telephone Co. has re-
moved the recently imposed toll
charges between Aurora and
Biwabik and the central range
towns.
The charges had been in effect
less than thirty days, and it is con.
tended by the management that the
ruling was made purely to get a
line on. the legitimate business
between the points. :.
