IN SCHOOLS

Attack upon tuberculosis among
the school children and infants as
the most immediate and valuable
method for control of the disease
was recommended today by two
speakers who addressed the twenty
second annual meeting of the Ma
tional Tuberculosis Association now
in session at the Mayflower. The
convention will close tonight.
That babies and young children
are most susceptible to tuberculosis
was emphasized by DR.. JabeZ II.
Elliott. of Toronto, Ont. and Prof.
F. lessen. Davos.PlatZ, Switzer-
land. Doctor Elliott said that a
program for control of tuberculosis
in childhood must include the DIS
covery and supervision of all open
cases of tuberculosis, the examine
ton of all children who are in
contact with persons who have
tuberculosis, the isolation of far
advanced cases in contact with
children. the periodic and frequent
denomination of all children If
school age and even those of pre-
age, anu the adequate treat
ment of all physical defects In
childhood.
Tie death rate for tuberculosis
among children in Toronto was re-
duced from 240 per 100. 900 to SIS per
100, 900, DR.. Elliott said, by follow
ing this program.
Health demonstrations as
method for securing municipal and
county support in the control of

other speakers. DR.. Donald B. Arm
strong described the results of
a series Of demonstrations in
Mass, by which the
death rate in that city was cut
from 121 per 100, 900 to 40, in seven
years.
The necessity for reporting tuber-
culous cases as a means for OBJ
tanning control of the disease was
by Drs. George G.
Rutland and Robert E. Plunkett.
The latter pointed out that in
study of 4,259 cases in the United
States it was found that AT per
cent were not reported at all, or
were reported after death, while
31.2 per cent of the cases were
reported less than a year before
death.

Textile Organization
Chances Look Better

NEW YORK-FP)-The demand
for organization among textile work
ers is growing, judging by the appeals
sent for United Textile Workers un-
ion organizers. Thomas F. Mcmahon,
union president, says organizers are
busy in Rhode Island drapery mills,
Pennsylvania silk mills and in the
hosiery mill strike at Durham, N. @.
New England drapery workers get
a third less pay than organized Phila;
delphia workers in that trade. Most
of the workers in the Pennsylvania
anthracite district are miners wives
and daughters and have been paid less
than SIS a week while organized
Paterson silk workers get about twice
as much. Ia
Protest against the arbitration
award to, Pittsield, Mass, wooden
workers has been made by the union
In 60 days new demands will be made
to mill owners. The Pittsfeld work
ers twice struck against a 1879 wage
cut and when they submitted to ar
bitration in December were ordered
to take the 1919 reduction.
Cotton mills manufacturing auto
tire fabrics are the most prosperous
In the cotton division OF the textile
Industry. Upper New York state has
many mills working up cotton brake
Innings, cotton wadding for automo
bile upholstery. etc. Workers in these
mills connected with the busy automo

MORGAN LACKEY
FOR CIVIL RULE
IN VIRGIN isles
Only Property Owners
VIII Have Vote

WASHINGTON March 2 -(FP)-
Rep. Robert L. Bacon of New York, o
the Morgan banking group, is sponso
for the bill providing civil government
for the Virgin Islands, now unde
discussion before the house committee
on insular affairs. This bill contains
a proviso that voters must qualify by
ownership of property or by ability
to read and write English.
Discrimination Against Workers.
Questioned on this discrimination
against a section of the working class
of the islands, Bacon said he adopted
it at the suggestion of Dr. Tucker,
who made a survey Of conditions in
the islands for the treasury depart
ment. Bacon further asserted that It
was good American doctrine" to ex
clude from the franchise all adults
who cannot read and write English.
He is a former Plattsburgh military
camp graduate, and held commits
sion in the world war.
DR.. Tucker asserts tina only about
Is to 209o of the people of the Virgin
Islands are illiterate, and that a group
OF French women were conspicuous in
this class. He attempted to deny that
the clause would discriminate against
the blacks.
A. A. Berle, appearing as chief pro-
moter of the bill, is a New York
lawyer for sugar companies operating
in the islands. He explained to the
committee the scheme under which
the president may decide the confir-
nation or rejection of officials appoint
ed by the governor and rejected by
the elective councils in the islands.
American citizenship is to be given
10 all Danish subjects and natives in
the islands, and quick process of
naturalization is to be granted all
natives of the islands who now reside
In the United States Some 1900 of
them are in New York City.
Insists on Military Rule.
Gen. Mcintyre, head Of the bureau
of insular affairs, to whose control
the islands are to be given, under the
Dill by the navy, urged the committee
TO go slowly. He said military gov
eminent was always more economical
and efficient than popular government
and the people of the Virgin Islands
would soon discover that they could
not have so many public improve
ments and health measures financed
by their own revenues as the navy
had given them. He wanted the bill
amended so as to permit the employ
ment of officers of the army and navy
in all branches of the service of the
territory.

Law Paseed purIna Var.

The anti-sedition law which origin
ally passed in 1919 and amended in
1921 is the product Of the war hyste-
ria which existed at that time and is
and will be used against all organized
labor attempting to defend their
rights as workers. The State Fedora
ton Of Labor of this state has con-
tinually gone on record at its conven-
lions against this act.
The undersigned organizations have
therefore decided to call conference
Of representatives Of organized labor
of western Pennsylvania to devise
ways and means to conduct cam
paign for the repeal of this vicious
law which threatens the existence Of
the organized labor movement Of this
state.

BIRTH CONTROL
COMES BEFORE
NEXT CONGRESS

WASHINGTON March 2.-(FP)-
It's measure proposing to legalize the
sending by physicians thru the mails
of information as to birth control, has
not yet been introduced in congress
by the American Birth Control League,
Inc, of which Margaret Sanger is
president. Mrs. Anne Kennedy, in
charge Of the Washington office of
the organisation, says that the move
ment is now relying upon educational
efforts at the capitol to prepare the
way for consideration Of the bill in
the next session. Sen. Cummins and
Sen. Norris are named as being
sympathetic with the purposes Of the
legislation. Catholic and episcopal
clergy oppose the bill.
The birth control league limits the
legalization OF the sending or publica-
ton of information or means Of pre-
venting conception, to duly licensed
physicians and to drug houses deal
ing with them, in order that the in
formation and means of birth control
may not be commercially exploited
and made the basis of fraud upon
ignorant persons.
Meanwhile it has issued leaflets
dealing with the significance of the
movement to organized labor, to un-
employment, to war and to science.
In the birth control clinic establish
ed in New York practically all of the
first 1000 cases treated were work
ing class women, Of whom one-third
were catholics, one-third Jewish and
one-third protestant, according tc
these leaflets. A special campaign
among the trade unionists is being
made by the league, due to the belief
that it is the workers who suffer
most7-thru ignorance and the use Of
dangerous means of preventing births
from the present laws against the
giving of scientific help by doctors.

BINGHAM MAYORS
PALMS ITCH AT
SIGHT OF MISERY
Would Have Stricken
Pay for Hospital Bed

BINGHAM, Utah, March The
heart Of nation went out recently
to the stricken workers and their
families who were victims of the ter
rible snowslide which visited this
quiet little town high up in the noun
tains OF Utah and took toll of nearly
40 known dead. Several other bodies
are believed to still be buried under
the avalanche.
Deplorable as such a disaster may
be to humanity generally, there are
always those who are eager to take
advantage Of the misfortunes of
others to further their own selfish
gains. When it became apparent
that some of the injured who were
given first aid treatment at the local
hospital would need further medical
attention but were unable to pay for
such services, the public spirited
mayor Of Bingham, DR.. F. E. Straup,
who also happens to be county physi-
clan Of Salt Lake county, stepped for
ward with a solution. Surely the I'M
fortunates could pay the small sum Of
ten dollars to the county physician TO
defray expenses of transferring them
to the Salt Lake county hospital at
Salt Lake City, where the good tax
payers Of Salt Lake county have so
generously provided an institution to
care for those needy of medical aid
/ but who are without funds. The trans
portation of each person from Bing-
ham would probably be one-tenth that
amount, but surely the good doctor
mayor should have something for un-
winding the red tape necessary to ad-
NIT patient to the county institu-
ton
Another incident which added much
weight to the already heavy burden OF
those bereaved by the disaster was
the refusal of officials Of the mortuary
to permit Ed Halvorsen to view the
body Of an unidentified woman with
the possibility Of ascertaining whether
the body Of his wife had been taken
from the ruins. Mr.. and Mrs. Halvor-
sen were both in the slide, but the
husband was fortunate enuf to escape
with slight injuries. His bereavement
was not lightened by this intelligent
action Of the mortuary officials.

for-all riot was narrowly averted in the
staid old senate wing Of the capitol
when Harry Houdini, wizard of magic,
appeared before the senate District Of
Columbia committee to support anti

clairvoyants, restored order.
In the District of Columbia commit

Right" Houdini admitted. you're

The battle Of spirits was a draw,
because Representative Gilbert, demo

ridiculous business" by calling for ad
journment.

country swain and his girl friend OF
