courts nave decided that two laws
which the Congress OF the United

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE GIVES APPROVAL
TO TUBERCULOSIS REMEDIES OF LABOR

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-Organized
labor holds that the dread scourge of
tuberculosis is mainly due to eeonom-
ic conditions rooted in low wages and
long hours and that the problem is
largely a matter Of prevention.
In its early investigations organized
labor found that in certain trades the
death rate from tuberculosis is five
or six times as great as in occupa-
tions free from the accompaniment OF
unsanitary conditions.
AS far back as 1905 the American
Federation of Labor convention de-
clared that the great work of the
Federation respecting tuberculosis
was to stamp out the scourge by such
a campaign of education among trade
unionists as to make it impossible
that men shall be permitted to work
under conditions so menacing to life
that they invite tuberculosis, and at
wages so low that a standard of life
cannot be sustained sufficient to re-
sist turebculosis."
Now comes the United States
Public Health Service with report on
Tuberculosis, Its Predisposing Caus-
es," in which there is abundant af-
firmation of the American Federation
of Labor's position.
"The well fed resist tuberculosis
WELL" declares the report. ''The un-
derfed yield readily. Actual want
must be reckoned with, especially in
our great cities, such as New York,
where it is said many hundred school
children go breakfastless to school" !"
The report points out that next to
lack of food great fatigue is the great
est predisposing factor in tuberculo-
Sis" and adds that exhaustion may
be, produced by long hours of heavy
work" and Excessive or prolonged
exertion."
Child labor, either in factory or at
home, excessively long working hours,

LABOR VOTE FACTOR
IN 1924 ELECTIONS
Estate Federation sulIetln.)


The labor and progressive forces Of
the state won a magnificent victory
last week when Judge Samuel B. Hill,
endorsed by the Conference for Pro-
gressiye Political Action, was elected
to Congress by a safe majority. The
Conference for Progressive Political
Action at Spokane, which is the po-
litical expression of the Spokane la
Dor movement, was most bitterly at
tackled during the course of the cam
paign, but despite the fact that the
two leading newspapers at Spokane
were supporting State Senator Chas.
Myers and attacking Judge Hill in
practically every issue. yet the city
of Spokane and Spokane county was
delivered to Judge Hill by a sub
stantial majority. The conference ar
ranged to put workers in practically
every precinct in the city and con-
Quoted a most vigorous campaign on
behalf of their candidate.
The result has established more def
initely than ever before the power
and prestige of the labor vote of the
state and definitely assures a sweep
ing victory for progressive principles
and progressive candidates in 1924.
The Spokane labor movement has
earned the admiration and gratitude

ULT|MATUM ISSUED
BY FEDERATION TO
SEATTLE COUNCIL

After two sessions of the executive
council of the American Federation
held in Portland when the records of
the council were Investigated and per-
sonal representatives heard, the Sc
attic Central Labor Council was found
guilty of all charges contained in
communication dated May IA, 1928 and
addressed to the Seattle council.
Unless the Central Council of Seat
tie complies with five definite ultima
tums laid down by the executive coun-
Gil of the American Federation, its
charter will be revoked at the end of
80 days and a body established that
will abide by the laws of the parent
body and state organization.
The requirements demanded by the
executive board and handed to Chas.
w. Doyle. executive secretary of the
Seattle council, are as follows:
l. That the Seattle Central Labor
council is required to confine its ac-
tivities within the locality of Seattle.
2. That the Seattle Central Labor
Council must recognize and is requir-
ed to sustain the jurisdiction of the
Washington State Federation of La
Dor.
3. The Seattle Central Labor Coun-
ell must at all time recognize and
maintain the supreme authority of the
national and international trade unions
within the trade and Industrial juris-
diction as recognized by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
4. That the Seattle Central Labor
Council must at all times recognize,
support and maintain the laws, prin-
ciples and policies of the American
Federation Of Labor in all national

matter of little choice with US. We
have held, and hold that If the hordes
of men from these backward coun-
tries of Europe are brought into the
United States, with all Of the omis-
sions and commissions upon their
heads, If they are good enough to be
brought to our America for profit they
are good enough for us to try to or
ganize them and make better Amer
leans out of them. And If, here and
there, there is a Red or a Radical,
1t is not our fault, but the sin must
be upon the heads of those who
brought them to America. We real
ize that so long as they are wage
earners and organizable we will or
ganize them, not as Reds and Radi-
calls, but to try to make better men
and better citizens of them. And
not only do they regard US as an
opponent worthy of their steel, but
they have felt its point of contact.

The most significant portion of the

ic conditions against which organized
labor wages its most vigorous fight:

very well be made elective, although
it is not now his intention of asking

terminology of "Reds," l fully dis
agree, and those who know me or

misc onception Of the term radical" Z"
There are so many varieties of them

is that those who would label them
selves as radicals" as a rule, know
nothing of the great, fundamental
principles of the labor movement or
of the ideals toward which it is striv-
ing. 1t takes all sorts of people to
make up a nation, and it takes all

any way on the question Of the revo-
cation of the Seattle councils charter
he, in substance, warned that body
that II must observe the policies, the
principles and the laws of the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor and give
definite assurance that 1t intended to
continue to do so in the future If 1t
hoped to retain its present charter.
He declared himself as being opposed
to the revocation of charters where
avoidance was possible but made it
plain nat unless such a course is pur-
sued the executive council would i'm
mediately take the steps necessary to
establish a new council at Seattle
pledged to such a course.
His address constituted a complete
and thorough analysis of the func-
tions of the labor movement and was
eloQuently delivered. Practically ev-
cry responsible representative of la

dress was punctuated frequently with
