But great as has been the work done by these bodies, there la vastly more that can be done by a com blnatlon of all theaa organizations In i federation of trades and labor unions' The First Convention. In accordance with the spirit of that call, the convention woe organised at the date designated, with John Jarrett, at that time president of the Amalga mated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, In tho chair. One hundred and seven delegatee were present, rep resenting 262,000 workingmen, and i permanent organization was effected, styled the -Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unlona of the United States and Canada," and a congres sional committee, like that which the another convention wtt decided on, to be held In Pittsburg, Pa.. In November, 1611, and thla gathering proved to be the natal one of the American Federa tion of Labor. The call for that con vention was short, but It waa a master ly document It read: "We have numberless trades unions, trades assemblies or council!, Knights Knights of Labor subsequently created, waa appointed, consisting of Richard Powers, of the Seaman’s union, of Chi- cago; William H.

D. Crane & CO. 44 and 46 MADISON AVENUE Labor Iron Moulders, of Pittsburg. Knights of Labor assemblies and trades unions were equally represented, and It was thoroughly understood that the trades unionists should preserve their form of organisation and the Knights of Labor should maintain thelra, and that the two should work hand In hand for the thorough amalgamation of the working classes under one of these two heads, and that they should use every legitimate means to offset any move ment designed to create any more frag ments or divisions In the labor army. The Eight-Hour Oay. One of the' first articles the manifesto of the original American Federation of Labor was the declaration for an sight-hour workday, showing that the principle of the organization waa economic and In dustrial, as well as humanitarian. This body steered clear of politics per se. In dulging Itself In the national pastime purely as Individuals. It Is Interesting to nots that sven at the present time •uch Is ths case, political propaganda being mentioned in no place tn the con stitution and by-laws of ths federation. The second convention of the Feder ation was held In Cleveland, Ohio, on November 21, >161. when Samuel Gom pere waa elected permanent president, and William H. Foster, subeequently of Philadelphia, permanent secretary. Fearing that eome disaster might over take this organization, as had been the fate of ita predecessors, a manifesto was Issued to the subordinate unions, discountenancing political action, on the ground that the Federation had been organised as a purely Industrial body. Tbe manifesto set forth further. In admirable language: Clear Out of Politics, "We favor this Federation because It Is the most natural and assimilative form of bringing (he trades’ and labor unions together. It preserves the In dustrial autonomy ’ add distinctive character of each trade and labor union. or traditions, blends them all In one harmonious whole—a ‘federation of trades’ and labor unions.’ Such a body looks to the organisation of the work Ing classes as workers, and not as ’sol, dient’ (in the present deprecatory sense) or politicians It makes the qualities of a man as a worker the only test of fitness, and seta up no political or religious test of membership. It strives for the unification of all labor, not by straining at an enforced union of diverse thought and widely sepa rated methods, not by prescribing a uniform plan of organisation, regard less of their experience or Interests, not by antagonising or destroying existing organisations, but by preserving all that Is Integiml or good In them and by widening their scope to that each; without destroying their Individual character, may act together In all that concerns them. The open trades unions, national and International, can and ought to work side by side with the Knights of Labor, and this would be the case were It not for men either over-sealous or ambitious, who busy themselves In attempting the destruc tion of existing unions to serve their own whims and mad Iconoclasm. This should cease and each should under stand Ita proper place and work In that sphere, and If they desire to coins un der one head or afllllate their affairs then let all trades’ and labor societies, secret or public, be represented In the Federation of Trades’ and Labor Union*.* Am will be observed from reading this manifesto, the friction between the Federation and the Knights of Labor had already become serious and Irri tating. The next convention, that of 1162, was held in New York, on Au gust 21. Samuel Oompers was re elected president, end Frank K. Foster, of Boston, was chosen secretary, and arbitration was favored Inetead of strikes. The eight-hour rule was In elated upon and laws were demanded to limit the dividends of corporations and to Introduce ’ governmental telegraph systems. Southern Conventions Only five conventions of the Federa tion have been held In what might be termed Southern territory, via: Bir mingham, Ala., In 1111: Nashville, Tenn.. In 1817; Louisville, Ky.. In 1800; New Orleans La., In 1002, aud Norfolk, Va.. In 1107. At the organisation of the federation In Pittsburg the delegatea present rep resented only 60,000 organised workers, and In 1002 at the convention In Boston there were 401 delegatee present, rep- rvsentlng 1.500,000 organised men and women. At the meeting In Atlanta next month nearly 2.000.000 organised wage- workers will bo represented. The offi cers or the federation confidently pre dict that this will be the largest con ventlon In the history of the body. Following the meeting of the Ameri can Federation of Labor will be held the Building Trades council, which Is an adjunct of the federation, bnt preserves Its own distinctive law-making func tions, snbject. of count, to the laws and Hinsele of ths parent body. Likes Its Old Officers. The American Federation of Labor has had but three presidents and three secretaries since Its formation, and the Incumbents, Samuel Oompers and Frank Morrison, ultho having been subject to bitter fights on occasions, are not liable dethroned for many years to come, from present prospect*. The Soclalltts have made many bitter attacks on the regime of Samuel Oom- perei but have so far failed In the ef forts to oust him. What It thought to be the nearest he htt come to being de. posed by these people was at tbe Nor- of their attack on him the famoue charge against his Integrity was made, fostered by a statement from Broughton Brandenberg.'the magazine writer. As soon a* It was made plain that this at tack waa made upon the personal in tegrity of Mr. Gompers tha entire con vention welded Itself into a bulwark of defense of the "little cigar maker,” all opposition was withdrawn, and the charges were refuted In a way which left no doubt aa to the feelings of the convention In regard to Mr. Gompcra’ personal Integrity. It waa all right to attack him on his public record aa a labor official, but to say he wee dishon est was too much for the varying ele ments In the labor movement, and they proved their decisive belief In hie hon esty of purpose by re-electing him president by acclamation, the first time In years such thing had been done.

T HE medical profession is waking up. Doctors, I believe, are beginning to think for themselve*. I believe more and more of them every day are refusing to be led around by the nose, ns it were, by specialists who simply use them aa agents for thoir own consultation practice. This lit- tie talk is prompted by a couple of visits I have had this week from doc tors. They came to sco me and they brought patients with them for the purpose of consulting with me about the cases. These doctor* were men who recognized the fact that a phy sician may advertise and atill be able to deal competently and honestly with a brother physician. They recog nized, too, that there is no reason why a physician who is honest and compe tent should not call attention to his specialty by advertising in a clerfn and dignified manner. Both of these physicians left my office satisfied and pleased with the manner in which I dealt with them and treated their pa tients. According to tbe way some physicians think, this was not ethical on the part of the two physicians. But what they were look ing after was the best interests of their patients. They thought they could do this by consulting with me. Hero’s the contrast to this: Nearly every week I receive a letter from a doctor or a visit from one and I am told that if I will divide the fees, they will send me patients. While J always treat those making me such propositions nicely, I de cline every one. I believe a doctor’s first duty is to hit pa tients. Yet I know this fee-splitting is done. So does every other doctor know* it. And I feel quite sure that it was a doctor of this kind— one who is still willing to ho led around by the nose—who re cently advised a gentleman of the "danger” of coming to see me. I had been in correspondence with the gentleman for some time, and he had made an engagement to visit my office last Sunday. lie did not come, and then wrote me why. lie ■aid he had been consulting with a physician at home, who ad vised him not to see me, and he had taken this advice. I didn't tell him. but it is safe to predict that this doctor who advised against me knows of a particular specialist who will divide the fee with him. So fhe adviee was prompted by a selfish interest. I can not do this, and I would not do it if I could. I cau not do it for tbe reason that I make my charges reasonable and fair to the patient. The charges are not enough to-give another doctor half. It is not fair to the patient to double the charges so that the other physician may get his, It is well to remember that when this practice is indulged in, the fees must be large enougli for the doctor acting as the agent to get a slice of them. It may be all right to do this. And those who do it may honestly Relieve it is the correct thing to do. I simply look at it differently. I dislike injecting commercialism into my profession. Friends of mine have told me time and again that I could not eueeeed by following out myjdeas. But I am still practicing my profession, and my practice is increasing every day. Aud I still think I am right, and I am going to continue along the same line. I know what I can do. I know that for more than a third of a century I hare been study- ing and specializing in diseases of men. chronic diseases and nervous disorders. I have spent my professional life perfect ing mytelt in these diseases. Therefore. I KNOW them and I know how to successfully treat them. That’s why I say I can cure any case which CAN be cured.
