N. D.'S MAY ORGANIZE !.
TRADES UNION z soon
American Medical Association
Now Considered Equivalent
-. to Labor Organization.

Is it possible that some day pretty
soon our family doctor will belong to
q trades union? OF course, we can
not conceive. Of good DR.. Jones' re-
plying to a hurry-up call that he has
already worked eight hours today,
but
1t is not any more strange than tho
attitude Of the physicians of England
regarding the national insurance bill
which has revived trade unionism talk
among the British physicians. The
doctors there are seriously discussing
the formation Of a union for the sole
purpose of fighting the insurance bill
provisions.
Without going into the merits OF
this much misunderstood and misrep-
resented piece of legislation, the idea
OF doctors union Is not at all new.
In Germany there has been one for
a long time. Two, In fact. The first
is a: big organization that includes
practically every physicion of the
popular school and. the second is an
really controls things.
In Germany, you know, there are
two kinds of drug stores. The first is
place where prescriptions are COM
pounded on physicians orders, and
the second is the ordinary kind of
drug store. There has been a big
fight started among the physicians re-
garding these places. 1t has been
charged that many Of the prescription
druggists establishments are owned
by physicians and that they cause
their patients to spend a great deal
Of money for unnecessary drugs. It
has also been charged that the small
organization of doctors that control
the big organization have made lot
of rules for the government Of the big
union that result in the enrichment
of the members of the inner circle
without helping those on the outside
much.
The echoes Of this row have been
heard in England, where the national
insurance act has established a scale
of fees for certain examinations and
made it incum bent on physicians to
become members of so-called 'paneLo''
or committees to make these examin-
atoms at the prices set by the govern
ment. And the physicians accuse the
legislators of trying to take business
away fro mthem and starve them into
other callings.
The very radical members Of the
profession want q regular physicians
union, with a set Of bylaws and reg
ulations that bill bind them as strong
ly as the coal miners union-which 4
enc Of the strongest in. Great Britain.
There hasn't been much talk Of form
Ing unions in America yet, although
1t has been alleged time and time
again that the American Medical as
ISOLATION is little more than a union.
, This organization has done a great
deal for physicians, and incidentally
very~great deal for the general pub
lie. It has, been at. the forefront Of
the fight against the manufacture
of food poisons and the adulteration
Of drugs, as we'll as the fake patent
m edicine fights.
But it also rules the medical pro-
fession with an iron hand.

Memphis, Tenn, Issues Monthly
Magazine Telling Its Citizens

Lets wl.oop Memphis up instead
Of running Memphis down." is the
slogan that Memphis Commission
Government, a magazine published
every month by the city of Memphis,
Tenn, holds before the citizens OF
this southern municipality. The
magazine is the means the city COM
nnissioners use to advertise their city.
Memphis is a trifle larger than
Duluth yet 1t has a program that
residents Of Duluth might find help
full in "whooping Duluth up instead
OF running Duluth down." The edi-
torial opens with the quotations: He
who crdticises: and does not offer, a
remedy, falls from the high position
OF critic to the level Of the common
growler."
The Memphis commissioners ask
that the proper authorities be notified
whenever they have grievances to re-
port as given in the accompanying
schedule. $ :
II your garbage is not moved
promptly; r..

dirty or unsanitary; If you have been

neatly printed magazine the munich
pality boosts Memphis. It is pointed
out that since 1885 when the tax rate
was $2.35, the rate was reduced to
$1.75 in 1910, the first year of COM
mission government, and in the two
following years to $1.58.

Sunday afternoon at Athletic park by

nosis of the game, however, the de-
feat was a victory for the local team
The score would have been different
in all probability had Wilcoxen, who
pitched the first five innings for Rich
mond been given the support
which was later handed to Walters,
who succeeded him in the box.
In the first five innings the Sprudels
ran away with the Richmond team
and played ball all around their heads.
Richmond's loose playing gave the Wis
itors five runs. Richmond rooters had
blanched faces, and it looked like a
shut-out for the locals. In the sixth
inning Walters was put in the box,
and Immediately the attitude of the
Richmond players changed. Listless-
ness was followed by application to
the work. Spryness and energy took
the place Ct Indifference and careless

dels was stopped and although steel

pitcher, continued to throw his vari-
