THE CAUSE OF
TUBERCULOSIS

tuberculosis is not inherited.
1t is caused only by germ known
to science as the tubercle bacillus.
Persons who have lung tuberculosis,
especially those in the more advanced
stages, cough up, sneeze and spit out
tubercle bacilli, sometimes in large
quantities. Children and others COM
ing in contact with such tuberculous
persons are, of course, likely to
breathe in or swallow some of the
germs. Dried dust containing the
germs of a careless splitter may be
directly inhaled and sputum may be
picked up on the fingers. Kissing or
fondling a child may be the means of
passing the germs to him. Drinking
cups, spoons, food may have tubercle
bacilli on them, unknowingly placed
there by one who has tuberculosis.
Persons living in homes where care
less person has the disease are in
unusual danger because they are al
most continuously exposed to large
'doses" of tubercle bacilli

FRIDAY, APRIL II, 1910.
WAGE COLLECTION LAWS
NEEDED EVERYWHERE

Wage payment and wage collection
laws have been passed because some
employers fail to pay the wages of
their workers regularly, some do not
pay in full, and few do not pay at
all. Many of these defaulting en-
ployers are financially irresponsible,
some are careless, others are down.
right upscrupulous. In states where
machinery for wage collection is avail
able to workers, free or at low cost,
tens of thousands of claims adding
up to several million dollars are filed
each year. These are apart from
claims for back wages filed under state
minimum wage laws or the Federal
Fair Labor Standards Act.
Most of the individual claims are
for sums so small that no lawyer
would want to bother with them, nor
would workers have much left if they
had to pay lawyers fees. Yet even
SO or 500 may help family bridge
the gap between one job and another;
or to pay accumulated bills of trades
men or doctors.
State labor commissioners receive
many of these complaints. And the
state labor department is the most
logical agency from which help might
be expected, for it is the department
charged with fostering and promot-
ing the welfare of wage earners," and
with enforcing laws relating to en-
ployment. Nothing is more basic to
the wage earner's welfare and to good
relations between employers and en-
ployes than the regular receipt of
wages earned. Nothing is more con-
ducive to discomfort and resentment
against society than to be cheated of
just compensation for work per-
formed-and sometimes to have to
apply for relief because of it.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

additions, while repairs and improve
ments went to 2,455 more.
The famous man, who "made two
blades of grass grow where only one
grew before" seems to have set the
example in this enormous task of Civ
ing these young people useful expert
ence in constructive work, while at the
same time removing the menace of
idleness as we'll as the wolf of poverty
for many, many families.
The general committee of the Swiss
program Movement" which was mi
tiated some years ago by the Swiss
National Trade Union Center in col
laboration with the neutral Non
Manual Workers Movement, the
Young Peasants Party and the As
sociation of Protestant Workers, and
which aimed at economic reconstruc-
tion and the safe guarding of democ-
racy, has decided to amend its consti-
tuition to the effect that industrial
and cultural organizations and indi-
viduals who accept the movements
program can belong to the move
ment."
Contact with all the political groups
which takes the views of the Program
Movement will be maintained through
persons in the different political
camps. In this way, the basis of the
movement is to be made as broad as
possible This reorganization, which
has taken place in agreement with
the principal affiliated organizations
meets a wish which has been ex.
pressed for some time in different
quarters.
The general committee expressed
the conviction in its meeting that the
cohesion of all sections of the people
to safeguard democracy and bring
about a just economic and fnancia
policy still remains an indispensable
necessity.

Perhaps one reason why wage pay
ment laws are not found in all states,
and why those on the statute books
are far from uniformly effective, is
that it is generally taken for granted
that employers pay for the work they
get. And in fact most of them do;
but few chiselers are found in every
industry. The worst offenders are
likely to occur among resort hotels,
small restaurants, employers of do
mestic help, farmers, operators of
logging camps, and other seasonal
enterprises.

1t would be interesting to know,
whether the publicized concern of
wealthy members of certain COM
mittee, over the plight of the youth
of the nation, was aroused by the
naked facts concerning the barren op-
portunities offered to American youth,
or by the fact that the present adj
ministration, through the National
Youth Administration, had already
been doing something about it.
This same class of folks, constitut-
ing the committee aforesaid, have
been demanding strongly that there
be what they call "direct relief" 9TH
erwise the dole, instead of the Work
Projects Administration.
Well, the N. W A. has actually
turned a sore spot of human deficit
into living assets, by its program of
work and jobs given to hundreds of
thousands of youngsters, in co-opera-
ton with local communities. The as
sets are of the sort that cannot be
sneezed off the map. They include
294 new school buildings, and repairs
or improvements on $3.50 already in
use. This is just small part of the
total of 3,120 new constructions or
additions made to various public use
buildings, in the year ending June 30,
1889.
Three new hospitals were built by
N. Y. A. workers, which otherwise
would not have been possible and 49
existing hospital buildings had re-
pairs and additions. The total num-
Der of new educational buildings,
which included libraries, dormitories,
museums and art galleries, amounted
to 708; and the number of those re-
ceiving repairs and improvements was
4,53S.

tute for police work is now acknowl-
edged, received $50 new buildings OF
