WONDERFUL STRIDES
 IN MEDICAL SCIENCE
 PLANNED FOR FUTURE

LONDON, March 30.-Twenty- five years hence tuberculosis will be extermined in the British domin- ions, or be as uncommon as leprosy is today, Dr, c. w. Saleeby, spokes- man for the London Medical Insti ute, has declared. He predicts that the greatest advance in medical science will be the successful com batting of tuberculosis, and cancer, and the reduction of infant mortal ity to almost nothing.
 The last 25 years, Dr. Saleeby says, has seen medical science de velop more than in centuries before but he points out that this has been brought about by very limited num- bers of medical men and scientists, drawn largely from Germany, Aus tria, and the United States. He be- lieves that today all the medical men of the world are vitally interested in perfecting the science of national health and that the result of this international ambition will be perfect system of combating disease.
 The latest methods used to prevent tuberculosis have already provided for a gradual decline in the number of tuberculosis victims for the tu- ture, and, once health officers have been able to stop the spread of the disease, Dr. Saleeby believes it will rapidly disappear.
 The attack on cancer presents greater difficulties and only the most elementary steps have been made 50 far toward combating il, but Dr. Saleeby predic-s that ano,h- CT ten years will ind science in a position to begin an international movement 10 eradicata cancer.
 Dr. Saleeby, who has been the leading exponent of the campaign to lower infant mortality in England, nas figures to show that the raIo in England and Wales has dcaea5- ed from one in seven in 1906 to l in If in 1923. He asserts that the ratio will be about one in 2 when the present methods of handling na- tai cases are in common use.

RoADHoUsE BURNS ON TRAIL

The Halfway roadhouse on the Chatanika- Circle trail, was completely destroyed by fire, according to a re port from Fairbanks on the last train. The establishment has been conduct ed by Mr. Jesse Brown for the past two winters. It was located 20 miles from Chatanika.
 The blaze is thought to have been caused by an overloaded stove. Af- ter filling the heater with wood MT. Brown left for the barn. In a very short time the building was envelop- ed by flames. Mr. Brown was un- able to save even his personal pos sessions.
 It is not believed that an attempt will be made to rebuild this winter.

NON-UNIONlST
Pays Lower Wage Scale.
Labor Leader Shows

Toledo, Ohio - The reason trade
unionism is opposed by certain en-
ployes is indicated by William P
Clark, president of the American
Flint Glass Workers Union He com
pares union wages with rates paid by
the Macbeth-Evans Company at its
Marion, Ind, plant.
The union schedule for work on a
No. / electric bulb is $4.20 per thou
sand. while the anti-union firm pays
$1.48. In list of II articles the non
union price averages more than Sc
per cent less than the union rate. In
some instances the figures art SIS and
$2.13.
President Clark also points out that
the Macbeth Company works longer
hours than union plants.
"The old cry" said the trade union
official, "has been that the employers
want to get away from dictation by
the factory committee, that they want
to manage their own business, etc
Where there is no factory committee
to speak for the workers, the forego-
ing is the result"

against the Great Southern Lumber
Company in the local federal district
court. 1t is charged that the COM

The suit was started by Mrs. l.. E.
Williams, widow Of one Of the vic

Bogalusa Central Trades Council.
He and his associates were at the
Williams home when the gunmen
drove up in automobiles and opened
fire with shotguns and rifles. Three
unionists were killed outright, and
the other two died of their wounds.
The mob then sought Sol Dacus,
an influential negro clergyman, who
was aiding the whites to organize the

swamp and later escaped to this city.
The mob rified his home and burned
many of his belongings.

HELPLESS
Is UnOrganized Labor Where
Company "Uni0n"
Aids Bosses

Denver.-Unorgani miners in
this state presented pathetic pic
ture before the state industrial COM
mission when they attempted to resist
wage reductions. In some cases the
coal operators insisted that wages be
cut 33 per cent, but the commission
allowed 90 per cent.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany, with its boasted company
union" was the loudest protestor for
wage cuts. The much-advertised en-
purpose-as far as the workers is
concerned.
Coercion by employers was so glar-
ing that the commission ordered the
reinstatement of several workers who
objected to the reduction. Pitted
against skillful pleaders and high
priced attorneys, who were armed
with statistics of every description,
the workers stood dazed. Even if

on their living standards, they were
helpless before straw bosses who
would report their attitude to the
company office.
The principal argument of the coal
operators was that they can not COM

Kentucky and West Virginia This
indorses the position held by the
United Mine Workers who have re-
peatedly declared that trade unionists
will not aid the 'back-t slavery"
movement by competing with non
union wage scales.

STRONG
Purchasing Power Solid Ba.
sis For Business, Says
Hughes

New York.In an address to busi-
ness men in this city, Charles F.
Hughes, former secretary of state
said conditions which would increase
"the purchasing power of people, con-
stituted the most pressing need in the
expansion of American commerce.
I'VE have facilities of production
and exchange to an extent never
known heretofore, but there should be
more consuming power" the speaker
said.
While Mr.. Hughes did not specif-
ically favor high wages in his own
country, his acceptance of a trade
union theory was clear He was ap-
plauded by business men who have
publicly declared for lowering of
wages-for lessening of purchasing
power of their employees.

POVERTY WAGE
Paid Porto Rican Women
Organized Labor Urges
Betterment

San Juan, Porto Rico.-Organized
labor is urging the Porto Rican legis-
lature to abolish the work -at home"
system, so general in this island. An
investigation by the bureau of labor
reveals that there are 10000 women
and children working at their homes
for an average wage of 20 cents a
day, piecework Most of the women
in the country and little towns en-
gagged in this work are suffering from
undernourishment and lack of proper
living conditions.
Employers and their agents have
registered vigorous protest against
the measure, which would affect a
$12, 100000 industry. They make the
usual claim-now that they have been
discovered-that they are willing to
protect the women and child workers.
The first essential to this protection,
they insist, is to defeat the bill that
would prohibit work at home.
These employers reside in New
York, where they have their offices.
The unionists have published the
names of II of these firms that re-
ceive Porto Rican goods manufacture
| ed under sweatshop conditions and
distribute them throughout the United
States in competition with manufac-
turers who pay q living wage and
maintain sanitary factories.
Several members of congress have
visited the island and are enthusiastic
over the great prosperity and hap
piness" of Porto Ricans They were
| pleasant guests of Governor Towner,
at the government palace, and viewed
| the islands beautiful scenery from
| high powered automobiles.

Montreal, Quebec.-Justice Coderre
has set aside an order by the city
chief executive disbanding the police

illegal, the court said that the dis

law, made for that purpose. The dis
pute dates back to September, 1922,
when municipal employees attempted
to organize to improve conditions.
They have been opposed by the COM
