ANT|-7UBERCULOS|S
FUND FOR WORKERS
DR.. Murphy Would Establish
System In Duluth, St. Paul
and Minneapolis.
An anti-tuberculosis insurance fund

An anti-tuberculosis insurance fund
for Duluth and the Twin Cities is
about to be established through the
efforts of DR.. I. J. Murphy, former
police surgeon of this city and now
secretary of the Minnesota Public
Health association. 1t is aimed to be
of especial help to the working
classes.
A discussion of the work and ex-
perments tried by working men in
various places in the fight against
tuberculosis is given in the report of
the National Association for the Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis.
The following features are empha-
sized in the report:
% A simple organization repre-
senting employers and employees
closely allied with the local anti
tuberculosis society of the commun-
ity. The organization will provide
for the esta blishment Of a tuberculo-
sis fund either on the basis of indi-
vidual factories or groups of factories.
ca A plan for collecting funds to
be used for the relief of tuberculous
workers and their families by free
will offerings from employers and
employees. Employers will be urged
in all cases to duplicate the joint COL
lections of employees. The collections
will not be tax or assessment, and
will constitute a special tuberculosis
fund in addition to those of regular
benefit societies.
ca A systematic campaign for
medical examination of all workers at
yearly or more frequent intervals.
90 The appointment of special
committees to give relief to fellow
workers and their families suffering
from tuberculosis from the funds col
lected. Any worker in a community
where a fund is started who develops
tuberculosis will be cared for.
(5) Carrying on of educational and
legislative work through the organi-
cation.
(6) The collection of statistics
about occupational mortality from
tuberculosis.

CAMPAIGN WACED
IN TEACHERS BEHALF
Opposition to Organization De-
clared to Be Even More Bit
ter Than Comomn.

Miss Margaret A. Haley, national
organizer of the American Federation
of Teachers, chartered by the A. F.
of L., is conducting an active cam
paign that it is hoped will firmly es-
tablish this organization on a national
scale.
The opposition, to this organization.
is even more bitter than common.
The employing class has long recog-
nized the advantage of control of all
means of public education; has en-
deavored to secure such control by
holding the economic whip over those
who. were in position. to disseminate
information through the press, the
public rostrum, the pulpit, and espe-
cially the school room.
/ How such control has been secured
is an old story, nut the school room
has especially been controlled by
placing the arbitrary power to hire or
discharge the teachers in the hands
Of those who are known to be jealous
guardians of the interests of the en-
ployers, and, by keeping the teachers
economically dependent and helpless.
because isolated.
Inc advantage tnuS gained mas
been tWofold. Not only were the
teachers subject to instant discharge.
with no power of appeal, in case the
men in position of power over them
disapproved of the ideas they were
implanting in the young and impress
sionable minds of their pupils, but 1t
was found possible to maintain the
standard of wages of the teachers far
below that of any profession requir-
ing the same efforts for preparation;
in many instances even below the re-
Enumeration of char-women and day
laborers, and that means below the
standard of subsistence.
Like causes bring like result. Even
as the coal miners were forced to or
ganize by the onerous conditions i'm
posed on them by their economic
masters while acting each for HIM
| self, so were the teachers forced TO
recognize that as individuals they
were forced to stultify Themselves
were forced to teach lies that
advantageous to the holders Of ere
| purse strings; and were paid beggar1y
wages as reward for their degreda-
ton.

OLD ARMORY As
COMMUNITY CENTER
Action Urged by DRY" League;
Assistance Offered to Dis
J.. charged Employees,

The retention of the old Armory
property for the establishment of a
community center was advocated by
the 'rrade un'o; Dry League at a
meeting of that organization in Row.
ley hall last night.
Since the people have voted<to abol-
ish the licensed saloon" said Henry
Dworschak, :Jr., president of the
league, 1T is more than ever neces-
sary that the city commission yield
to the demands of organized labor and
make of the old Armory great COM
munity center.
There is one other feature in the
Armory matter that is very important.
Hundreds Of people have. been taking
advantage of the public market where
they could purchase fresh vegetables
at reasonable prices. Should the city
council dispose of the Armory, it
would work a hardship and incon-
venience to great number Of people
who have taken advantage of the pub
lie market.
1--WE propose the establishment of a
public home for transients, who here
tofore have frequented saloons. It
will be inexpensive for the city to
spend a small fraction of the money
that now goes to maintain ,inebriates
at work farms and poorhouses in
building a home Of this nature.
