When Every Social Unit Begins
to Fight Says Dr. Flick.
Philadelphia Expart Says That Wage
Earners are Specially Menaced
By Dread Disease.
Washington, D, . —ls :
of our scciety is willing teove(rl{’ ?}?;t
which they can do, 1 feel confident
that the day is not far distant when
we will have wiped the dread disease
tuberculosis, off the face of the earth."
This was the megsage of hope give.u
by Dr. Lawrence Flick of Philadel
phia, one of the mest eminent medi
cal men of the country, at the New
‘Na'twnal Museum, where the tubercu
losis exl)o§itlon is being held in con
nection with the International Con
gress of Tuberculosis. The meeting
was in the interest of labor, and was
one of a series to bhe given. The
speakers were Dr. Flick, John Mitch
ell, former president of the TUnited
Mine Workers of America; Samuel
Gompcers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, and others.
“Tuberculosis is peculiarly a dis
2ase of the wage-eurner,” said Dr.
Flick, “and this is so for the very
&ood reason that one of the strongest
predisposing causes of the disease is
overwork. It is an exceedingly fatal
and prevalent disease among wage
earners.”
Dr. Flick pointed out that the rea
son why the wage-earner is so likely
to contract tuberculosis is beeause 1n
many instances he is overworked, he
toils in unsanitary workshops and of
tentimes he is underfed, which causes
his powers of resistance to be less
able to throw off an implantation of
‘the tuberele bacilli. If the wage-earn
er gets the implantation, Dr. Flick
said, it is almost certain tn result fa
tally.
He refuted the theory of infection
from ipheritance, saying that unless
the tuberculosis micro-organism is ad
mitted into our bodies it is mot possi-
Yle for one to hecome infecied. The
need of the establishment of hospitals
and sanatoriums for the care of con
tagious and non-contagious consump
tives was emphasized.
John Mitchell, who presided, enum
erated some of the obstacies to great
er progress in the promotion of health
and the eradication of disease, and
said it was due to the attitude of
many employers of labor whom, he de
clared, resisted the enactment of laws
for the prevention of accidents and
the promotion of heaith,
Samuel Gompers paid a tribute te
Dr. Robert Koch, the German seien
tist. He declared that Dr. Koch will
live in the memory of man when those
who fail to appreeiate his discovery
of the tubercle bacillus, or those who
fatl to follow his precepts, are forgot
‘ten. He declared that the union work
ing man was less susceptible to tuber
culosis infection than the non-union
man, because the union shops are su
perior in sanitary appliances to other
shops. The death rate from consump
tion among non-union men is 100 per
cent greater than among union men,
he said. . :
Statistics were presented by Fred
erick L. Hoffman, showing that the
number of deaths from consumption
among the 32,000,000 wage earners in
this country is 77,000.

GOVERNMENT BUYS SILVER.
Will Amount to 126,000 Ounces a
Week—Demand for Coin.
Washington, D, C.—Director of the
Mint Leagh has annomnced that he
wonld resume immediately the pur
chase of fine silver for subsidary
coinage, He states that he expects to
parchase about 125000 oumoces each
week for an indefinite period.
. Director Leach said he was ecounfi
dent purchases would be made as
long as there was an active demand
for the coin. The mint now' has on
hand only about five million ounces
of fine silver and this supply would
soon be exhausted at the present rate
of demand. For several months prior
to the late financial stringency the
demand for subsidary coins was se
active as to necessitate the operation
of the mints to their full capacity,
but the demand fell off until there
was an accumulation in the treasury
in April last of about $37,000,000 in
standard dollars and $26,000,000 in
subsidary ccins, Early in the summer
the call for silver dollars became
more aetive and soon the supply was
practically exhausted. Attention was
then directed to the halves and other
subsidary coins with the result that
now there is only $21,000,000 avail
able, notwithstanding the fact that in
September $684,000 in silver = subsi
dary was coined and added to the
stock on hand. Mr. Leach expecis a
still stronger demand when the cot
ton arop begins to move amd the de
cigion to purchase more silver is im
auticipation of this demand.
