OPPOSES SEAMEN'S LAW.

New York.-'Thc national foreign
trade council iavorS a suspension oi the
recently enacted scamen's law and the
formation OF a government shipping
board OF five members, who will be en-
powered to recommend measures bcnc-
fetal to American marine. Strong OBJ
lection is made to the language test
contained in the new law, which, the
trade council AYERS, gives Japanese ma
rine an advantage. This section pro-
VidcS that - per cent OF sailors ON a
vessel must understand the language
OF their officers
Secretary OF Labor Wilson, in re
cent address, stated that this means
that there must be no interpreter stand
ing between the master OF the ship and
the crew when an emergency arises
when a seconds time may mean the
saving or the losing OF a thousand
lives"
The seamcn's law became effective
on American ships the 4th oi this
month, but it is clear that the shipping
interest does not propose abandoning
its campaign OF opposition to an act
that provides Tor safety at sea and free
dom for the sailor.

WHITE PLAGUE DEATHS
REDUCED In THE U. S.

Washington.-IIopc for the solution
OF tuberculosis is expressed by DR..
George NJ Hobcr, in a bulletin issued
by the United States public health
service.
He finds encouragement in the fact
that the death rate from tuberculosis APP
parcntly has been reduced from BPS per
600 in 1850 to ll7G in 1913, which
means that if the former rate Of NOR
tality had been continued the number Of
deaths from the disease last year would
have been 322 ,O27 instead Of ll3,OOO.
This is equivalent to saving Of l70.O27
lives during 1913 from this disease
alone.
tuberculosis has been aptly spoken
of as the great white plague says Dr.
kobcr, and its rayagcs may be apprc-
ciatcd when we recall that in spite Of
marked progress in preventative efforts
this disease carried off during the year
1913 over 10000 victims in the United
States alone. II We accept Dr. Phillips
estimate that for every death from tu-
bcrculOSls there are ten cases OF the dis
ease, the number of persons afflicted in
this country would be l,I3OOOo. II we
accept the most conservative estimates
the population-thc number OF conSump-
tivcs would be osTsl3. The average
duration of case of tuberculosis is
about three years, and the cost of mcdi-
cal attendance food. nursing and loss
OF work during this time has been csti-
mated at S2,2IO; but taking most con-
scrvatiyc basis and calculating only
81 800 for each death, the lI3OOO deaths
represent an annual cost of S21i i,5OOOOO
to the people Of the United States
Dr kobcr places much value ON
health talks especially to children Tie
says we should supply our children with
hcathul schoorooms and teach them
the value OF pure air sanitary homes,
proper and sufficient food, physical cul-
turc baths and suitable clothing, and the
importance OF temperance and pure and
clean lives The lessons taught, ne be
hcycs, will finally be applied i'm the
homes and workshops of the nation. He
also iayors giving encouragement tu
every movement which makes for better
health and a temperate, uutaincd and
yirlc race, which, he declares, viii OF
fer the best safeguard in the prevention
Of tuberculosis.

SUPREME COURT ANNULS
ARIZONA EMPLOYER LAW

WaShlngtOn.-Ihc United State, Su-
prcmc Court has declared uncunstitu-
uonal the Arizona law which provides
that an employer OF FIVE or more per
sons must employ 50 per cent qualified
electors or native born citizens. The
court holds that the authority to CON
troll immgratiOn-to admit or cxcludc
alcns-ls vested solely in the Federal
government.
Justice Hughes, in reading the de
CisiOn, said
1T is sought to Justify this act as an
exercise Of the power OF the State to
make reasonable clasSiCations in lcgS-
atlng to promote the health, safety,
morals and welfare OF those within lis
jurisdiction. But this admitted author
ty, with the broad range OF Legislative
discretion that it implies, does not go
50 Tar as to make it possible for the
State to deny to lawful inhabitants, be
cause Ol their race or nationality, the
ordinary means OF earning livelihood.
1t requires NO argument to show that
the right to work for living in the
common occupations Of the community
IS the very essence OF the personal Tree
dom and opportunity that it was the
purpose OF the amendment to secure.
II this could be refused solely ON the
ground ol race or nationality, the pro-
hlbltlon Of the denial to any person oi
the equal protection OF the laws would
be a barren form of words. The au-
thorlty to control immigration-to adj
init or exclude aIicns-is vested solely
