Caring for consumptives.

There are now four special methods
by which consumptive workingmen in
the United States are being cared for.
In such cities as Albany, Elmira and
Binghamton, N. Y, the unions support
a separate pavilion or hospital In
cities like Hartford, New Britain and
South Manchester, Conn, the work
men contribute towards the mainte-
nance of fund for the care of con-
sumptives. The employers also con-
tribute to these funds. There are also
two national sanatoria for the treat
ment of tuberculosis owned and oper-
ated by labor unions; one by the in
ternational Typographical union and
the other by the Printing Freshmen
and Assistants union. In Massachu-
sets, Illinois and elsewhere large cor
porations and manufacturers have
agreed voluntarily to care for all their
consumptive employees for limited
length Of time.

ALTON CALLS TAFT'S MESSAGE
ON ARIZONA "cANT."
TELLS OF UNIONS GROWTH
Standardization of Judges Is Drivel,"
He Says, and Ayers Change in Ma
tional Principles Is Near-Asserts
Membership Greatest in History.

Atlanta, Ga. - Predicting great
changes in American methods of gov
eminent, especially with regard to po-
litical parties, Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of the American Federation OF
Labor, presented his annual report to
the thirty-first convention of that body
here.
He gave the referendum, initiative
and recall the unqualified indorse-
ment of organized labor and declared
that real, representative democracy
had never been known in the United
States because of the absence of those
provisions.
"This standardization of judges" he
said in defense of his Endorsement,
''this sanctimonious cant about mob
rule some of which was in Presi-
dent Taft's message vetoing the Ari-
iona statehood bill, is mere drivel."
President Gompers' report, which
covers 60 closely printed pages and
would make more than 80 columns in
a newspaper, says it leaves many sub
jects untouched or inaccurately pre-
sented. The report declares for and
says organized labor demands:
Passage of the so-called antl-in-
junction bills at the next session OF
congress.
Restriction of immigration.
Further restriction of convict labor.
Legislation to relieve civil service
employees from the executive orders
prohibiting them from petitioning con-
gress
Uniform laws for protection OF life
and health in factory buildings.
Department of labor in the federal
government.
Employers liability and workmen's
compensation acts throughout the
states.
Severe arraignment is made OF the
so-called scientific management. or ef-
ficiency systems.
With it's membership now more than
1,75O,OO0, the greatest in it's history,
and it's financial condition excellent,
the organization enters the thirty-hrst
year of its work.
Among other subjects treated in the
report are child labor, locomotive boil
er inspection, the Danbury hatters'
case, the senate third degree investi-
cation, seamen's rights, railroad track
inspection, insurance laws. the strike
of the women garment workers, the
BALDWIN locomotive works strike and
the work of the federation's organic
ers, but without any recommendations
other than those hitherto expressed
Membership of the organization was
never before so large. According to
Secretary Morrison's report the treas
ury shows balance on hand of nearly
100000 Nearly 100000 was dis
tributed in support of strikes by the
various unions affiliated with the fed
Grafton. During 1911 the federation
issued 1926 charters to unions, bring
ing the total of it's organization mem
bership to 1,464. In individual mem
bership the federation gained nearly
100000 during the year.

coffee on some people.
The narrowing tale goes on.
Where a few years ago every
body drank coffee, several cups a
day, now we find in every walk in
life people who imagine they can
not drink it. (The underscoring is
ours.) Burly blacksmiths, carpen-
tiers, laborers and athletes have dis
continued or cut down the use of
coffee; as there is not a person
who reads this and will not be able
to find the same conditions existing
among his own circle of acquaint
