MANY LEPERS STILL
AT LARGE IN U. S.

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 25.-Be-
tween five hundred and one thousand
lepers are still at large in the United
States, although few people in this
country other than physicians, ever
see a case, according to DIR. Paul A.
Turner, director Of the State Depart
ment of Health. Except the disease
be in its last stages, the average per-
son would never recognize it. Lepers
have been known to live in communi-
ties for years and are only discovered
to be such when applying for treat
ment for some other condition.
Recently lepers have been discharg-
ed from the National Leprosarium at
Carville, La, as having now no man
ifestations Of the disease. To all in
tents and purposes they have been
cured, although the physician merely
certify that the disease has been ar
rested and that these persons are no
longer q menace TO public health.
The accommodations for lepers at

Caryllle have never been sufficient to
take care Of Al the Iepers who apply.
At present there are 211 beds, all Of
which ere filed, and facilities to care
for AS win soon be completed. There
is q large waiting list. The treat
ment there. while By ne means wholly
confined to the use Of special prep
aratiOns Of chaulmoogra oil, depends
very materially on these preparations
for its efficacy. Their use Is consid-
cred an important adjunct Of the
treatment.
The enlargement of Carville, pro-
viding for the isolation and treat
ment of more Of the unfortunate vic
Tins of this terrible disease viii, no
doubt, diminish the spread of leprosy
in the United States, a matter that is
giving concern to both national and
state health officers.

into rooms through open windows.
In the midst of this flaming barrage
President Gompers stepped onto bal
cony with President Gales and ex-
President Obregon, bringing the hands
of both together in brotherly clasp
of friendship and fealty. The tide of
drama ran high that night. Mr.. Com
pers had been undressed in readiness
for retirement when the Presidents
automobile called for him. He had
dressed rapidly, going to the recep-
ton over the energetic protest Of his
faithful nurse. He was bouyed up
with the excitement of the hour.
After he retired from the balcony he
shook hands with fully 300 officers of
the Mexican army. It was midnight
when he returned to his interrupted
rest.
When the Pan American Fedora
ton of Labor convention opened it
was under the constant threat of Com
munist invasion. This was not an in
vasion that was feared, but it was
certain that if the invasion took
place there would be an exciting half
hour with always the possibility of a
clash.
Work Done According To His Plan
President Gompers remained with
the convention until after it had
adopted a declaration Of principles
which will rank with the great decla-
rations of history. Then, two days
before the conclusion of the conven-
tion's work he was forced from the
stage to his last bed of illness. The
stout old heart, 5000 feet above sea
level, was fighting losing fight. But
the work of the convention was shap-
ed and the record made is as the old
chieftain would have had it could he
have stayed until the last gavel fell.
The departure from Mexico City
was as dramatic as what had gone
before. The fallen leader was taken
from his hotel on a stretcher and
FASTENED to the train in an ambulance,
It was taken into the car through q
window.
With sixteen Of his friends, fellow
officials and Office staff, the grand old
leader began his homeward ride.
''rake me home" he had said. Con-
stantly the question came to the lips
Of those who were with him: ssWilI
he see the homeland again3" Through
the mountains Of central Mexico the
train rolled on. The brave old bat

president Gompers was known as
a fighter but his intimates knew
another Sam Gompers, said James
O'Connell, veteran president Of the
A. F. of L. metal trades depart
ment.
II have known Mr.. Gompers for
nearly 40 years." Mr.. O'Connell
said. twenty-five years ago we
bought homes in this city, side by
side. For many years we lived as
neighbors and companions. Sam
uel Gompers loved children, music,
flowers, painting, poetry. Nothing
could arouse him quicker than to
mention the evils of child labor.
He enjoyed old frineds and to talk
of old times. He had a marvel
Gus memory. He found excuses
for opponents. He was sure they
would get new viewpoints, and in
this he was often correct. He new
er bore grudges and would placate
an opponent whenever possible, as
this meant solidarity.
"He was often imposed upon in
his personal affairs, but in trade
union affairs he was Samuel Com
pers, president of the A. F. of L.
Then he was alert, analytical"

of 1875 per cent. Steel plant employees
in 1915 received an average Of "a
cents an hour since which time the
rate has increased just less than 70
per cent. Steel plant wage scales, in
this study, are taken to be represent
alive of the trend of wages in all lines
of manufacturing.
Payment by the railroad of wages
higher than generally prevail in in
dustry tends to advance the scales in
manufacturing plants. Railroad labor
leaders contend that the roads should
pay higher wage scales on the ground
that rail workers are more skilled, on
the average, than industrial workers
where machinery is largely used to
supplement man-power and brain
power.

WASHINGTON d. c., Dec. 25.-
Wages paid workers on the railroads
are increasing faster than scales re-
ceived by men and women employed
in industrial plants.
Railroad workers were paid at an
average rate of 62.5 cents per hour
during 1924, according to payroll re-
ports received by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The U. S. De-
partment of Commerce receives reg
ular reports on the average wage
scale of the u. S. Steel Corporation,
which, during 1924, was reported as
40 cents an hour. In 1916 railroad
workers received an average OF IT'S
cents an hour. The present wage is
thus shown to represent an increase

working people of Mexico understand
that their hope for their own future
and from that Of their children and
their children's children lies in the

touched. There came the hush that
must ever accompany profound ut
terances and great events. Appre-
hension came to many who heard the
words of the great leader. To some
Is was almost as if they stood in the
presence of death.
Last Message To Labor
There seemed something driving the
aged president on to give voice to
last message of counsel. Once when
he had spoken without preparation,
giving voice again to thoughts heavy
with parting sorrow and wisdom, he
said to an aide, II don't know why 1
spoke like that. hadn't intended to-"
But all was drama-great, sad
drama that ends true to life and I'M
happily. There was the drama of the
magnificent joint meetings with the
Mexican Federation of Labor-frui-
ton of more than a dozen years of
effort. And it may be said now that
a year before in Portland President
Gompers had wanted this years con-
vention held on the Rio Grande, had
hoped it would be held there, had
looked forward to it, though he then
said not q word to indicate his choice.
But the fates were working even then
to set the great stage for a great
part of the tremendous finale to a
tremendous life.
Drama held to it's course all the
long way to Mexico City and it
marched in glorious panoply within
the ancient city Of the Aztecs. HUI
man hands have seldom prepared or
played in more gorgeous drama than
the great, panoramic spectacle of the
Mexican presidential inauguration.
No Mexican patriot saw more clearly
the meaning Of this vivid event than
the honored American guest who had
come so far to watch the wheel Of
time complete an epochal turn--to see
the people Of the great nation claim
their birthright in permanency.

$50 POUNDS OF DIAMONDS
WILL BE SOLD BY SOVIET
Confscated Gems Being Marketed
in New York, London and
Paris-Dealers Alarmed.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
BERLIN, October 1.-THE Russia n
newspaper Rul, printed in Berlin, pub
lished the statement today that Soviet
Ambassador krestinsky is handling
the sale of $50 pounds of diamonds
which were confiScated by the Soviet
government and which are being sold
through agents in Paris, New York
and London.
1t is stated that a large number of
diamonds are being smuggled into the
United States through Canada by
woman employees. According to the
Russian newspaper, the diamonds
which are for sale are held in the
kremlin at Moscow and are released
only on the signatures of five MEM
bers of the political bureau of the
Communist party.
The Rul declares that the interna-
tional jewellers and diamond mer-
chants are uneasy concerning the
jewels in Soviet hands and that the
Belgian and Dutch chambers of COM
merce have already boycotted gems
bought from Soviet agents. Negotia-
tions are in progress, it is said, to
effect a similar boycott throughout
the world. The quantity of dia-
monds in the possession of the Soviet
is so great, the Rul estimates, that II
will require decade to sch them
unless they are sacrificed.
