Shall use the pink pills or the white tablets ?" he is under obligation to charge you $2 for replying: The white tablets"
 Ii he comes to your house at time convenient to him he must charge you at least s, but if you fix the hour he must collect $5 or certify you as an object of charity. | If that mysterious organ known as the vermiform appendix gets out of whack any member of the union may charge you from $100 to $5,O00 for re- moving it. The maximum represents about four years wages of the average government employe in Washington.
 One of the most remarkable provi- sions of the bylaws ot rne organization has to do with the dismissal of mem bers of the medical staff by a hospital or dispensary.
 Adopt Strike Rule.
 The physicians union insists that 1t must be the final judge of the justice of the employers action.
 Should the society find that such dismissal was without just cause" no member will be permitted to accept position on the staff of the offending hospital or dispensary. In other words. the physicians will go on strike so far as that institution IS concerned and will not return to work until the demands of the union have been allowed.
 Here is suggestion that other un- ionists may prohtably consider:
 In an effort to secure medical service at a reasonable price, some of the workers of Washington have combined in clubs and associations and have en- gagged physicians to look after their health for fixed monthly fee. The physicians union frowns on this ar rangement. Hereafter, no member in good standing will be permitted to serve such an organization unless he is paid at least the minimum fee fixed in the wage scale.
 Precedent for Fraternity"
 This will be mighty hard on the poor but, of course, will not affect the rich who do not find it necessary to belong to such organizations
 The action of the Washington physi- clans is of national interest because 1t is probable that members of the fra ternity throughout the country will follow their example, if they have not already done so, and promulgate wage scales and working conditions as rigid as those which are to be enforced in the Nations capital

L44ntON EXECUTIVES LEAVE. FOR FL PASO CONVENTION;
 EXHIBIT, REPORTS READY

The complete exhibit this year will be nearly twice as large as the exhibit which attracted so much attention last year at the Portland convention.
 There will be an official A. F. of l.. literature booth at Fl Paso, again in charge of William Collins.
 Questions of paramount interest to all Americans will be discussed and acted upon by the American Federation of Labor in this convention. The A. F. of L. national non-partisan political cam paign committee will report to the exec utive council and the council will re- port to the convention on the important work coming under that head. That the convention will manifest the deepest in terest in this report is certain.
 International relations extending in many directions will be before the con- vention These will include relations with other North, Central and South American republics, with the nations of Europe and of Asia. International la bor office afiliation will be reported upon in this connection.
 It is foregone conclusion that the convention will deal with such vital do- mestic questions as the injunction, the usurped power of the courts, education and insurance. Some of these subjects will come before the convention in re- ports of standing and special commit tees.
 It is predicted by officials that the coming convention will be thoroughly constructive marking new mile stone of labor progress.

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 15.-Presi- dent Samuel Gompers, Secretary Frank Morrison and a considerable staff from American Federation of Labor head quarters here are en route for Fl Paso for the opening of the annual conven- fion in that city, November Y. The of hcials left here over the Baltimore X Ohio railroad, proceeding to Chicago, from which city the Rock Island line is used In Chicago the party was joined by members of the executive council and large number of delegates from the Middle West
 Just before the departure of the off, cial party from Washington Roberto Haberman, representing the Mexican Federation of Labor, visited headquar- ters and extended an invitation to A. F. of L. delegates to go to Mexico as guests of the Mexican Federation of Labor to witness the presidential. inaug uration.
 The report of the executive council is ready for the opening session and fore casts indicate it will be one of the most interesting and irnportan submitted since the reports of the war years
 Speakers at the convention, five of whom are shown in the accompanying illustrations, include M j. Moran, chair man of the Fl Paso entertainment com mitte and editor of The Labor Advo- cate; Mayor R M. Dudley of Fl Paso; George H. Slater, executive secretary of the Texas State Federation of Labor; Representative Claude B. Hudspeth, Roberto Alderman, representing the Mexican Federation of Labor and Com mander James A. Drain of the Ameri- can Legion.
 There will be in Fl Paso the second annual federation exhibit of charts, dia- grams and photographs showing the work carried on in A. F. of L. head quarters. An interesting and illuminat- ing addition to the exhibit will be found in series of charts showing the wage balance in the great basic industries and nm the industrial states. These charts. prepared from official census bureau fig ares, show the proportion of wages to selling price. as well as the amount paid for materials. These charts undoubtedly will prove of great value to union off cials in wage negotiations

 Whatever the outcome (of the cam paign) the workers will go to their con- vention in Fl Paso with the conscious ness that they have given of their best in the cause of human freedom There can be no such struggle without success, whether that success is or is not irnn1e- diately visible"
 The educational work done by the Progressive campaigners is bound to have its effect in the years to come. For the first time in many years, the search light of truth has been turned full on judicial usurpation and control of the Government by Big Business.

 Let the fight for Progressive princi- ples go on with redoubled energy!
 
 That there is no essential difference between the Republican and Democratic parties and that they are but creatures of the same master, was charged by Progressive workers in the campaign just ended
 This charge, of course, met with vig- orous denial from partisans of the two old parties, who sought to make the campaign fight appear as real battle, not merely sham. Unfortunately for the old party advocates, they could not control their mouthpieces, who ire quently let the cat out of the bag" by urging citizens to vote for either Coo idge or Davis but under no circum- stances to cast their ballots for La Fol lette
 The Manufacturers Record, an organ of the big union-hating interests of the country, was one of, the most outspoken in telling the people that there was no real difference between the old party candidates. Just before election, in a tirade against La Toilette, the Record said:
 The patriotic men and women of the country, throwing La Toilette entirely out of consideration should vote either for Davis or Coolidge"
 And yet some people were fooled into believing that Davis and Coolidge were staging real fghtl Wall Street knew better and through its organs, such as the Manufacturers Record, was frank enough to admit that 1t cared not which of the Gold Dust Twins the people voted for, as long as they didn't vote for Senator La Toilette.

 That is not the name adopted by the professional men and women who be- long, but an examination of the wage scale" and rules and regulations of the organization proves that is an accurate designation
 Officially the union is known as The Medical Society of the District of Co., 1umbia and it includes in its member ship majority of the physicians and surgeons of Washington.
 The wage scale" recently promul- gated is a most interesting document. It provides minimum and a maximum charge for almost every Ill to which human flesh is heir
 In giving publicity to the wage scale," the Washington Star-a news paper which is so ieactionary that 1t refuses to approve any idea which is not covered with the moss of at least one century-naively declared that the object was "to make medical and sur gical attention by the best masters of the profession open to rich as we'll as poor at reasonable prices"
 Range of the Wage Scale.
 The minimum wage scale ranges from $2 to $500 and the maximum from $10 to $5,000.

At a meeting held Saturday,
several plans were considered for
either increasing the attendance
or decreasing the costs. Incle-

some relief in increased attend
ance must occur if the season is
