BEDFORD SPRINGS. Pa, September
THE Homeopathic Medical Society Of
Pennsylvania, in session here. has unani-
mously Endorsed DIR, II. w. Wiley, chief
chemist of the Department of Agricul-
ture In the following resolution:
Resolved. That it is the sense of this
meeting that the removal of DIR. Harvey
w Wiley from his position as chief
chemist Ct the United States Department
of Agriculture would be calamity to
the nation and a direct blow to the
health of every citizen"
Or. +. NJ. Gramm of Philadelphia. the
corresponding secretary. had barely COM
pleted the reading OF his paper on "Foot:
Authorizations" before several of the lead
ing homeopaths of the state were on
their feet to eulogize the work of DR..
Wiley in the preservation of public
health and to denounce the attempt to
discredit his work and nulify his pure
food and drug rulings.
copy of the Wiley resolution will be
forwarded to President Taft. Secretary
Wilson and Attorney General Wicker
sham Immediately.
DIR. Gramm, in his paper on Food
Authorizations. commended newspapers
that refuse advertising Of articles of food
containing harmful preservatives- He
also made the statement that there was
hardly manufactured article of food
that was not adulterated in some way or
another. He continued:
Preservation of foods for a moderate
time has been practiced by the house
wife from time immemorial. but canned
and preserved foods are now manufac-,
tured in such enormous quantities by
the large manufacturers that many OF
them are in the hands O.: the jobbers and
retailers for periods that are amazing
when the truth about how long they
have been kept comes out.
ANY discussion of the subject of pure
food would be incomplete without Civ
ing the greatest possible credit to DR..
Harvey W. Wiley. through whose efforts
the present national pure food law was
fostered and who left no stone unturned
to have it enacted into law"

OBJECT TO SYSTEM

COMMITTEE TAKES ACTION
Although Changes Are Contemplat-

It Is Said.

Objection has been raised by members
of the Columbia Lodge OF Machinists,
employed at the Washington navy yard.
to the introduction of the so-caIled sci
entific shop system" in the administra-
ton of that yard. At a meeting of that
lodge last night "a committee was appoint
ed to visit the Navy Department today
and protest to the Secretary of the Navy
against the adoption of the Taylor sys-
tenn, or any similar system for the Wash
ington navy yard.
That committee consisting of William
H. Johnston, Thomas r. Carroll and v.
\. Buttell. has arranged for a conference
with Mr.. Winthrop. acting Secretary of
the Navy. this afternoon.
Several officials of the department said
today that they could not discuss the
matter in its present unsettled condition
and admitted that they were at sea as
TO the particular grievances of the navy
yard men.
ment is seriously considering improved
methods of business at all the navy yards
and had already collected considerable
data on that point. 4 commission of
civilian experts studied the subject for
several months and submitted a series
of recommendations to the secretary.
These recommendations have not been
put into effect. They are being carefully
reviewed by special board of naval
officers, of which Rear Admiral Nree,and
Is president.
Meyer Wants Improved Methods.
Secretary Meyer has taken deep per-
sonal interest in the general question
of improved business methods at the
naval stations. with a view to securing
better results and more economical ad-
49,, 1sr,t- IN, to-,
specting foreign naval establishments
in order to obtain additional personal
knowledge. on the subject.
1t was said at the Navy Department
that no new system of shop management
had been installed at the Washington or
any other navy yard. and that II any
change actually had been made at any
yard Ii was merely matter of detail be-
ing worked out by the commandments with
a view to future consideration by the
department. No radical policy will be
fixed in this matter, it was declared I'M
til Secretary Meyer had had an opportu-
nifty to consider the Nreeland report
which. it was added, hardly would be
ready before the Secretary returns early
in October.
In explanation OF the action of Column
bia Lodge it is declared that the intro
duction of the Taylor system would de-
mordliZe the workmen and tend to de-
crease the standard Of efficiency in the
navy yard. The system has been tried
in other cities, it was stated, and has
been found inefficient.
The Navy Department should at least
study the system thoroughly. said
Chairman johnson, before it decides
upon such radical change. We who
have had experience with it know that
it is absolutely valueless and hurts any
force of men who are required to accept
it.
