and tires quickly on attempting physi-

TO FIGHT
TUBERCULOSIS

Nine fraternal and benefit organizations
and three international labor unions with
II membership of over 1000, 900 have Join
ed the ranks Of the fighters against con-
sumption within the last year, according
to Il statement issued today by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis.
y year ago only one fraternal organiza
ton, the Royal League, and one labor I'M
ion, the International Typographical I'm
ion, maintained institutions for the treat
mcnt of their tuberculosis members. Since
January LIST, 1909, the following friternal
and benefit organizations have taken up
the consideration of tuberculosis, and in
most instances have decided to erect in
situations: Brotherhood of American zoe
men, Order of Eagles, Improved Order
of Red Men, Modern Woodmen of
America, Knights of Pythias, Royal Ar
canum, Workmen S Circle, knights of Co
lumbus, and Foresters of America The
International labor unions which have
Joined the fight against tuberculosis are
the International Photo Engravcrs Union
Of North America, the international
Printing Freshmen and Assistants Union
and the International Boot and Shoe
Workers Union.
The Modern Woodmen and the knights
of Iythas have already opened sanatora
for their members who have tuberculosis
ut Colorado Springs. and East Las Vegas
New Mexico. The Workmen S Circle is
about to erect Il similar institution ut
Liberty, n. Y The, Royal League has
maintained Il sanatorium at Black Noun
| tain, \. c., for three years. The other
tratcrnal organizations mentioned have
| either appointed commissions to consider
| the ACCESSIBILITY of erecting tuberculosis
san:toria. or are contemplating such ac-
| ton.
The first sanatori,m to be erected for
the benefit of the laboring men was
built by the International Typographical
| Union in connection with its home at
Colorado Springs. The International
Printing Freshmen and Assistants Union
have recently decided to erect a similar
sanatorium. and steps are now being
taken to open such an institution. The
International Photo Engravers Union,
while not conducting a sanatorium of its
| own. pays for the treatment of its tubcr-
culosis members in institutions in various
parts of the country. The international
Boot and Shoe Workers Union are recon-
mendng to their members that tehv ally
! themselves with the various organiz:l-
tions united in the fight against tuber-
culosis.
All Of these fratcrnal organizations
and the labor unions also carryin 9
on campaigns of education among their
members. In this way over 5000. 900
men and women receiving inStruc-
ton through lectures. through official
papers. and by literature expressly pre-
pared showing the dangers and methods
| of prevention of tuberculosis
| 1t is a campaign of prevention which

/ benefit organizations millions of dollars
