UNION
METHOD USED
BY Doctors and Police of
Great Britain is a Mat
ter Of Protection.
tnr Ansee,Arrn rnrss,

LONDON, Eng, Aug. 16-The
British Medical ASSOCIATION, at It's
annual netting seriously debated the
advisabflity of organizing as a labor
union.
Recently the official organ OF the
association was mulcted for heavy
libel damages for calling practi-
toner a quack. Insomuch as under
"a recent decision OF the British
courts, the funds OF labor union
can not be touched for such damages,
the doctors felt that the reorganiza-
ton of their association into n labor
union would not be without certain
Iad vantages.
The British Medical Association
in its recent strike against the pro-
visions OF the compulsory state IN
Isuranee act emulated the tactics OF
labor unionists, but in spite of the
reputed higher mentality of It's
members, it suffered defeat on ae-
count of a lack of solidarity. just as
many of its humber exemplars have.
Following in the footsteps of the
doctors, the police are contemplating
the. formation OF labor union to be
called the Amalgamated Society Of
Policemen. Letters appear every
week in the police organ citing griev-
ances and suggesting the formation
OF a union as the first step towards
their correction. Thelchief demand
is for a maximum police salary OIL
$40 week, and one correspondent
suggests that, as the police have TO
enforce fair play in the labor dis
putes OF others, they should have
little dfhiculty in enforcing their own
demands. one writer limited that II
might go badly with the public II
the police struck for their rights.
one OF the chief worries OF the po-
lice is due to the sutragets whose
activities have added greatly to their
overtime, for which they get no ex-
ira pay. Recently the force has
been increased in order to give
longer vacations, but the men fee

of assembling less than carload ship
