factory in an effort to care for it's
own consumptiyes. Subscriptions
are taken among the workingmen,
and i'll almost every case the EN-
ployer contributes sum equal to
the total contributed by his men.
These various factory units are SO
organized into central bodJ that
the stronger ones are able to help
the weaker. The money raised
goes for the support Of needy con-
sumptive workmen in tuberculosis
sanatoria.
In this way hundreds of factories
in almost all Of the large cities OF
Connecticut have been organized
and large number of sick work
ingmen and their families are be-
ing cared for.
That tuberculosis is particularly
fatal to the workingmen may be
clearly seen from the fact that at
least one third of the deaths dur
ing the chief working period of
life are caused by pulmonary
tuberculosis. Every other work
man who becomes incapacitated
must ascribe his condition to con-
sumption. DR.. Lawrence F. Flick
says: "Tuberculosis is peculiarly
a disease Of the wage workers, and
this is so for the very good reason
that one of the causes of the disease
is OverwOrk.' In some trades,
such as the metal polishers, brass
workers and stone workers, from
30 to 80 per cent, Of all deaths are
caused by tuberculosis. Dusty
trades are particularly dangerous,

But why have not the federal

city of Charleston has to enact an

The underlying motive is the

IS of it.
In the courts, the departure
from the plain mandate of the con-

SUCCESS OF
THE MINERS
Depends upon Their Loyalty to the
Cause in Making a United Effort
for Upbuilding
Organizing and Eliminating All
Petty Quarrels and Fault Find
ing in the Ranks.

The following official circular
letter under date of March Is has
been issued by National President
L. l.. Lewis
TO the Officers and Members of
the United Mine Workers of
America: Brothers.
Our Annual. District and Sub
District Conventions will soon be
over. The legislative work at
fecting the organization this year
agreed upon and the work of
building up and extending the
power and usefulness OF the United
Mine Workers should be continued
with renewed effort.
The demoraliZed condition of
various industries the past two
years should be warning and a
lesson to every worker. Wage
reductions and chaos in the mining
industry have been prevented be.
cause we are organized and for no
other reason. We are fortunate
that we have but few wage agree
ments to negotiate this year
Every member of the United
Mine Workers should feel that he
has an individual responsibility in
making the organization success.
The officers of the organization can
advise you, but to be success tul
the membership must be active.
You are probably aware that
there is trouble of local character
in several CT our districts. Every
possible effort should be made to
have all grievances promptly adj
justed. Every assistance should
be given to the Sub District and
District, as well as the National
Officers to adjust any disputes that
exist now OF may take place
during the year.
The laws of the United Mine
Workers should be respected in
every detail. Every effort should
be made on our part to avoid any
trouble. If possible, keep the
mines in operation pending the
adjustment of any local trouble.
If a Mine Manager attempts to
take advantage OF the terms of
our wage contracts, make note of
that fact and promptly report it to
those who are authorized to have
the matter adjusted. My advice
is not to act hastily but be sure
you are right at all times.
We have no time or energy to
waste in petty quarrels or fault
finding in our ranks. Our entire
time should be devoted to
strengthening the Organization, to
encourage each other to become
active members, to attending the
meetings of the local unions and
to study the laws and the terms
of the contracts governing the
employment of our members.
If each of us will do his part,
the United Mine Workers at the
end of the present year will be
greater in numbers. more powerful
in its usefulness and more effective
in solving the problems affecting
the interests of the mine workers
of this country. Let each feel his
individual responsibility and let
us all work for the success of the
organization. as this will mean the
success of every individual mem
Der.

GREAT WHITE PLAGUE

The general uprising against
Tuberculosis, the worst toe of the
workingmen is of such recent
growth in this locality that in spite
of its present magnitude and daily
development, few people are aware
of it's significance and Importance.
Several years ago some of the
larger national and international
labor unions, notably the printers
and cigar makers, began and anti
tuberculosis movement among their
establishment by the printers of a
sanatorium in Colorado Springs.
Two years ago Mr.. Paul kenna
day of New York spoke before the
American Federation of Labor and
stirred many Of the other unions
to definite action against tuber-
culOsiS. This movement ripened
about year ago, when in Albany.
N. Y, the laboring men got to-
gether and built pavilion chiefly
for the benefit of their afflicted
members. The members of the
Central Federated Union of that
city, numbering about 5000, each
pay five cents Il month Cor the
maintenance of this pavilion. But
more than the pavilion was the
interest they aroused in the ranks
of labor throughout New York
State and the country in general.
The results Of the movement
have been the establishment of a
labor department by the State
Charities Aid Association and a
special lecturer to the unions, and
an effort to enlist the aid of labor.

i'll mind that the daily press every
where shows disposition to favor
fine attitude of the National Asso-
citation of manufacturers, as shown
in the case of the hatters. To Off
set this, the members of both the
local and the general organizations
in the labor movement should give
the labor press all the support and
aid they can, as it is through the
labor press only that organized
labor can hope to have its side of
the question in issue properly pre-
sented to its members, friends and
smypathizers. This should be
given by increased subscriptions

Don't down a man because it is in
your power to do so. We have
seen men on top using their author
lty to put some men down and out
who later on lost out and there was
no helping hand to give them a

fellow men unfairly. The time

ACADEMY PRACTICE.
Captain Ncyes Has Squad Out for
 First Time-Some Veterans Left.

In rather frigid wind for limbering up baseball arms, the Academy candi- dates for the nine were out on the campus Monday afternoon for their first practice of the season, in obedi- ence to a call from Coach Tirrell and Captain Harry Moves. Twenty-Five or more were out for the first day, mak- ing the campus a lively scene for the afternoon, and practice will be contin- ued each day this wek with the pos- sibilit yof practice game for Satur- day, to be arranged by Manager Bill Leavenworth.
 Among the players left from last years team are Steve Ricketts, the catcher, and Tracy, who was the sub backstop last year; Murphy, the big first baseman; Hendrick and Severy, who are making a fight for the infield: Captain Moves, Lawler and Thompson for the outfeld.
 / The pitchers box, 1t is expected, will be filled by Pierson, who twirled strongly two years ago and should be in great shape this season. Crocker, a junior, and Murray are two new infield candidates who show strongly, and Bathgate, who played first for BuIkeley last year, is now attending the Acad- emy and will put up a fight for the ini- tial bag. He was not out Monday, but will appear today. Chappie Mckay, sec ond sacker last year, is lost to the team this season, as he is too busy with studies to take the time for base ball.

McKasker and Fox put up a great game at halfback, as also did Smith and Cardinal at fullback. keeping the Plainfields penned in their own quar- ters the whole of the game. Kennedy, s-Steriing custodian, had not a shot to handle, which speaks volumes for the Sterling defense. Larrow and Peloquin played a fast game on the right wing, but their efforts were fruit less. Result: Sterling o, Plainfield O.
 Sterling's next game is a return match with the Norwich club.
