CHEAP FURS MAY
 CAUSE ANTHRAX

Anthrax is primarily disease of rule, susceptible to it. It is. however. one of the most wide spread of all in fectious disorders, both zoofogically and geographically. 1t is known in England as "splenic fever" and wool sorters' disease" and is particularly prevalent among cattle in Russia and Siberia and in certain parts of France, Central Europe, Persia and India The lower animals in this country are not often infected with it.
 Anthrax has an especial interest for the human race since the bacillus which causes the disease was the first organism to be proved the cause of a specific disease in man and animals. Davaine, famous French physician, first noted it's presence in the blood of infected animals and proved its relationship to the disease in 1863.
 Of recent years the danger of hu- man infection, has somewhat increas- ed owing to the difficulty of procur- ing cheap furs to satisfy the tremen- dous demand for such apparel. A number of cases of the disease in man have been traced to the wearing of cheap, improperly cured foreign furs. The shaving brush has also been a frequent source of infection, though it is relatively easy to buy brushes which can be thoroughly steriHzed before use.
 A large number of cases of human anthrax have proved fatal though this is partly because the disease is usu- ally far advanced before the patient consults a physician. The anthrax ha oiJ1 there is as much danger of infection from old, improperly cured hides as from those recently cured.
 It is we'll, then to buy furs from reliable furriers only and to avoid those which are palpably cheap. It should be unnecessary to state that brushes which are used to rub lather into the skin should most assuredly be thoroughly sterilized or disinfected before being used for the first time.

 President O'Meara reviewed the work, of Federation officers the past year, and of events which have come before them. paying a special tribute to the labor of Organizer Ornburn.
 His recommendations were in brief:
 Increase of work among various elements requires an increase of the per capita tax from five to six cents; that the tax on Central Labor unions, Label Councils and Building Trades Councils be increased from $5 to $10: that the constitution be amended So that an assessment for the per capita tax be laid each quarter; that the next convention of the American Fed eration of Labor be asked to call upon congress for Department oi Economies within the Department o1 Labor. In conclusion he asked the delegates and organized labor to rec ognize the helpfulness of. c. J. Dana her of Meriden in a legal way during the year.
 The financial report of Organizer Ornburn showed receipts of the year to have been sS,605 and the expenses s7,942, with a cash balance on hand of s662. Sixty organizations affiliat- ed during the year and two reafhliat. ed. The enrolment is now 217 local unions, IT Central Labor unions four Building Trades councils and one Union Label section, representing 34 cities and towns. MT. Ornburn re- viewed his activities of the year and the proceedings Of the executive com mittee, MT. Ornburn being the Fed eration secretary. These gave de- tails of labor disagreements at Bridge port, Stamford and other places and also of organization of groups of workers in many places in the state.
