SPLIT IN RANKS OF
GARMENT WORKERS

Philadelphia, Nov. ia resolution
creating a committee to bring about
unity and to reorganize +, the needle
workers trades, the first resolution to
come before the convention of the
American Federation of Labor, was de-
feated after some debate at today s
session. There is split in the ranks
of the garment workers union, it be-
ing alleged that about two-thirds of
the members have seeded from the
regular organization. The resolution
was introduced in the interest of those
who are rebelling against the regular
national officers.
A member of the executive council
which unfavorably reported the resolu-
ton said it was not in the best inter
est of the workers. He added that il
the secessionists had any grievances
there is enough machinery in the
American Federation of Labor to ad-
just them Secession is the demon of
destruction, said Delegate McNulty of
Springfield, ILL.,, and to adopt the reso-
luton would open the doors to posi-
BILE secessionists from other organiza-
tons.

HOW TO PREVENT
SCARLET FEVER

The United States public health
service sends out the following about
the prevention of scarlet fever:
The great increase in the number of
cases of scarlet fever which always
accompanies the opening OF the
schools in the fall has caused the
United States public health service to
issue at this time bulletin on this
serious disease Of childhood.
While the way in which scarlet fever
is spread and it's prevention are well
known to health officers and physi-
clans, the general public usually neg
lects to take those precautions which
would diminish and prevent this dis
ease so fatal to young children.
The contagion of scarlet fever is
spread principally from the discharge
of the nose and throat, and the acts
responsible for the transmission of the
disease from the sick to the well, are
those which are common in our every
day life, particularly among children
namely, kissing, the use Of the COM
mon drinking cup and common towel,
placing in the mouth articles such as
lead pencils, candy, apples and the
like, which have been previously plac-
ed in the mouth or infected with the
nose and throat discharges of persons
suffering from scarlet fever, or by be-
ing "coughed at" or "sneezed at"
We possess no specific remedies
against scarlet fever. The disease
once contracted must run it's course
The chief efforts for it's control, there
fore, must be directed towards its
prevention. The most important
means for preventing scarlet fever
consist first, in the early recognition
of the cases as they occur, and second,
in a thorough isolation Of those who
are sick. The important thing to re-
member is that child, sick with
scarlet fever who is thoroughly isolat-
ed, does not transmit the disease.
This isolation must be carried out for
minimum period of six weeks or
longer if the mucous membrane of the
nose and throat are not thoroughly
healed by that time.
