ATTENTION BEING GIVEN
TO RAVAGES OF DISEASE
TUBERCULOSIS CAUSES oNE-THIRD
OF DEATHS AMONG WORKERS.
Campaign to Arouse Interest Among I'm
ions to This Devastating Enemy
Within the Ranks.

When one single disease, tuberculosis
or consumption, causes one-third of all
deaths among workingmen between Is
and As, and in certain dusty trades as
high as one-half, it seems time that or
ganized labor aroused itself from its
apathy and proceeded to do something
to down this plague.
The original purpose of the labor un-
ion and its predecessor, the. trade guild,
was protection from outside oppression
and an endeavor through collective bar
gaining to lessen the grip of the en-
ployer upon the workingman. While a
few unions, here and there, have recog-
MED that there were deadly enemies
within as well as without the union,
most of the 100000 and more men and
women in the ranks of organized labor
have never recognized tuberculosis as
such foe.
1t is true that increased wages and i'm
proved working conditions have vital
effect upon the home life and thus react
favorably in the control of tubercu-
Iosis. It is also true that within the
unions themselves, education and ade-
quate care for every man or woman
threatened with or attacked by this
disease is needed. Eight-hour days, max
imum wages, and sanitary shops will not
of themselves control the spread of tu-
berculosis. Until the individual working
man is taught such lessons as not to
spit promiscuously about the shop, to
sleep with his windows open, and to
guard himself and his children by care
OF his body against the entrance of in
fection, consumption will continue to be
unduly prevalent in the ranks of Ia
bor Until opportunity is afforded for
every man who thinks he has tuberculo-
sis to get an examination free or at a
price within the reach of his means; and
until hospital and sanatorium facilities
are adequate to care for every afflicted
case, the death rate from this disease
will continue to be abnormally high.
Right here, the labor unions can fight
the enemy within their ranks. This ar
ticle and succeeding ones will Offer some
suggestions as to methods. The first
suggestion is to study the problem in
your own ranks. Find out about tuber-
culosis in your trade and in your indi-
vidual shop. For example, ask these
three questions of yourself or your fel-
law workers and see what answers you
Denver labor bulletin., 1915-03-06

get: ~ How many deaths from tu-
berculosis and from all other causes
were there in your shop during this past
year, 1914? W How many members OF
your union are now on the sick list az
a result of tuberculosisi t3) What pecu.
liar trade or shop conditions, SO far as
you know, tend to predispose members
of your union to tuberculosis Note
such things as dust, gases, fumes, dark
rooms, bad ventilation, etc.
These questions will readily suggest
others. BY answering them, you will
get some appreciation of the tuberculosis
problem as it relates to you.

Omaha Office Will
Care for Business
of Horace Plunkett

During the recent visit to Omaha by
Sir Horace Piunkett all the papers neces-
sary for the merging of his Omaha and
western properties into corporate form
were perfected by his counsel, Warren
Switzler, including articles of incorpora-
ton, which have been placed on file with
the secretary Of state and county clerk.
Though the corporation, under the name
of Nebraska and Wyoming Investment
company, will have assets in excess of
81 ,O00. 900. the actual capital is fixed at
only $4,000, which is fully paid and non
assessable.
In creating the corporation for the more
convenient handling Of his Omaha prop
critics, Sir Horace included his interests
in cattle, ranches and land development
companies in Wyoming, as well as prop
ties in other states, all Of which will now
be handled from the Omaha office. The
extent of these transfers. It is said. Is
not disclosed by the public records the
Omaha deed naming ss44.s21 SO as its con-
sideration, but the aggregate value may
be judged from the fact that the stamps
and transfer fees were nearly 1900.
The old offices of Sir Horace in the
Brandeis theater building will become
the headquarters of the new company.
and the enlarged business will be under
the mana cement Of Conrad H. Young, Sir
Horace Plunkett's Omaha representative.
who becomes vice president and general
manager of the company. Selwyn

The articles of Incorporation were exc
cuted by the following: Horace C. Plum.
