FRANCE PLANS TO LET
LABOR SHARE IN PROFITS

PARIS, May 21.-The fact that the
French government fears another labor
upheaval in the immediate future and
| is determined to fOrestalI it was shown
by the decision Of the cabinet to in
troduce in the chamber Of deputies a
series of oils designed to improve the
lot Of the working man.
The most interesting is the measure
giving legal facility to labor to share
IN the profits of capital on cooperative
basis in private concerns. The govern
ments project, which has already sci
the labor leaders busy thinking. is
based on the ideas of such statesmen
as BRAND, Millerand, Ribot and Vivian.
1t provides facilities under company
laws for the ratiflcatio of a class Of
labor shares" collateral with the cap
ltal subscribed by the shareholders.
Employees will have the right to sub
scribe for labor shares. which will be-
come their collective property and in
alienable as long as the company exists.
In case of the winding up of The
concern the value Of the shares will he
! divided among the employees who have
had ten consecutive years in the COM
pany's service. Dividends will be paid
! IN accordance with the COMPANY :
status.
The project is designed to establish
more intimate relations between cap
| iial and labor, which will give en-
lplOyes share in the administration 1i
such cooperative companies. In no
wise is it compulsory. 1t puts employ
crs under no cOnstraint.
The second bill grants 100000
from the s5,00O,O06 advanced to the
Bank Of France by the state for the
purpose of financing labor enterprises
Just as the government now extends
its financial aid to agricultural devel-
opment.

to hire out and otherwise distribut,

Serum Is Called Fraud

NEW YORK, May 27.-Dr. Joseph
j. O'Gonnell, health officer of the port
OF New York, has sent letter to Health
Commissioner Lederle telling him to
submit to the board of health at its
next meeting a resolution prohibiting
the administration of the Friedman
treatment for tuberculosis III New
York, until such time as those in
terested af1irmatively in its admins
tration shall notify the health depart
ment of its innocuous character"
'The reports Of the investigator Of
your department." reads the letter,
whose peculiar experience with tu-
berculosis gives his reports a compel
ling force, are all to the effect that
the dangers which might be appre
hended in such form Of treatment are
actually present therein. He finds that
the patients subjected to this treatment
have not improved but have lost grouni
to an extent greater than might be
expected from the natural ravages of
the disease.
ut seems 10 ne that it would BE
culpable for us to longer hesitate and
that our duty now is to insist upon
such a regulation and supervision If
this enterprise as shall prevent the
preparation upon the public of dan
gerous and cruel fraud. We cannot
overlook the fact that this treatment
has been exploited much after the man
ner Of the exploitation of certain 50
called mining securities and other n
nancial schemes from which the cred
ulous public has suffered.
'''The wide advertisement Of the g.
rum has had an effect of awakeninS
final and pitiful hope in the breasts
OF the desperately ill. which shrewd
and constituencies men might turn in
|" an Immense tinenciat profit. There
has been time and opportunity in plen-
iiful measure t\'tn,rI to Dr.. Fried
mann and those who propose similar
remedies for tuberculosis to demon
strate the therapeutical merit Of their
treatment, but there has been no sucn
demonstration Of value On the other
hand, we have before us reports Of
the 8ravest character"

He continued his recital Of general
abstemiouSness, citing the fact that
