Group Medicine
Convention Speakers
Hold Care Of INDECENT
Is Chief Problem

"Socialized medicine" was con-
demned by several speakers at the
Association of Surgeons of the
Southern. Railway in convention at
the Willard Hotel today.
Assailing the group medical plan.
delegates declared it would disrupt
the relationship between physician
and patient. At the same time they
urged development of Statewide
plans for the prepayment of hos
pitalization on a budget plan.
DR.. Albert c. Jackson of Jasper,
Ala, said:
"The question to be solved is not
compulsory health insurance for
the entire population of this coun-
try. but what are the governments,
both Federal and State. and organ
lied medicine going to do about fur
nishing medical attention for the
medically INDECENT. It is not going
to be solved by any group offering
active and passive resistance to the
proposed program of the other
groups, not by groups hurting ep-
ithets at each other. nor by Govern
ment officials taking the position
that organized medicine must be
subservient to their wills. It will
only be solved across the conference
table.
"Organized medicine should foster
and encourage the further develop
ment of group disqualification, spe-
cially working toward Statewide
plans throughout the country"
DR.. F. Webb Griffith of Asheville,
N. c., was elected president of the
organization. DR.. j. v. johnson was
named first vice president; DR.. Her
bert Black, second vice president;
DR.. B. S. Lester, third vice president;
DR.. James Mitchell, fourth vice
president; DR.. w. w. Harper, re-
cording secretary.
The convention decided to meet
in Charleston, S. c., next year.

December Store Sales
And Collections Ton
1887 Slightly
Greatest Upturns Seen
At Detroit and Mount
Clemens, Mich.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 16-Small In.
creases in retail sales and collec-
tions last month, as compared with
December, 1887, was reported by the
National Retail Credit Association
for IA ,484 stores in 40 cities through
out the country.
The increase averaged IA per cent
for collections, 36 per cent for credit
sales, and II per cent for total sales.
The greatest upturns were reported
at Detroit and Mount Clemens, Mich.
The association asserted this was
the first month since November, 1887,
that collections, credit sales and to-
tai sales have shown an average ad-
vance.
This was attributed by the associa-
ton to the Christmas trade and an
increase in employment.
Other causes for the upturn, as
reported by the association:
Some of the mills in and around
Lewiston, Me, have started working
again. The mines are operating at
full capacity again in UniontoWn
Pa. Increased building activities
and government expenditures are re-
ported at Charleston, S. C. An i'm
proVement in agricultural commodi-
ties and tobacco sales was reported
at Lexington, KY. Employment III
creases were reported at Decatur,
ILL.,, and Mount Clemens, Mich.
