 MEETING ARRANGED
Rev. E. |. Brooks to Speak at
 Gathering Friday Evening

There will be a meeting of the or ganization formed for the purpose of protesting against. compulsory vacci- nation in Booths block Friday night at o'clock. R. J. Kloiber of 265 Cherry street, one of the strongest supporters of the organization, stated today that Rev. F. l.. Brooks of the Peoples church will be the principal speaker and efforts will be made to have others address the meeting. The organization which has come to be known as the Anti-Vaccination league will shortly start publication of a magazine each month and copies will be given out free of charge and will contain articles in support of the claims of the organization.
 MT. Kloiber stated that the oraniza- ton is not really characterization, but rather more against the compulsory law of vaccination. He said that vac cination could be classed as an opera ton and as operations cannot be per formed on people without their con sent, so vaccination should be optional
 He also said that there was nothin, 10 show that vaccination was a sur' preventive of smallpox and that statis tics showed states where the law 0 vaccination was compulsory an' strictly enforced, had larger per centage of cases of smallpox thai others. Massachusetts. he said, whicI has very strict vaccination law, ha had more cases of smallpox than an ether state in the east and Connection during the years between 1916 an 1921 had no deaths from smallpo' During that time there was no com pulsory vaccination law in the state.
