White Haven Sanitorium.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The provision made by tho state in
the White Haven Sanitorium empha
sizes the need for like action by the city
of Philadelphia.
Consumption has wholly changed its
position during the last twenty years,
though uaither tho public nor medical
schools bars awakened to the signifi
cance of this alteration. Instead of be
ing a btpclass malady, under which
those stricken must waste away, it is
a disease as amenable to treatment as
any which afflicts man. But this treat
ment is altogether outside of the reach
of those wli® live in a city and are wage
earners. They cannot by any possibility
provide themselves with the fresh air,
nutritious feed or even tho special treat
ment er knowledge which is required for
a sure.
The White Haven Sanitorium. which
is only * part of the admirable work
done by tho Free Hospital for Poor
Consumptives, has in its first months
demonstrated the rapidity with which
improvement can be effected if those
diseased try removed from tramped
and ilf-vmtilated quarters to open, fresh
air. Sueh a hespital, however, can meet
only a small percentage of the cases.
This city needs to provide itself with
larger Kuans for ovor 2,000 poor con
sumptive! patients, four-tifths of whom
could i* saved and restored to life if
this city were to expend for this pur
pose a moderate sum. The ordinary
physician in a busy practice cannot j
make the tests which are needed. The i
ordinary dispensary cannot furnish the
advice which is required. No one of
our hospitals is provided with tho open
air whero it is needed for this work
though any one of them could do so on
its roof if it were to follow foreign ex
ampls.
The city lias at Roxborough alms
house a site ideal in its purposes, south
ern in its exposure, elevated, whero a
suitable hospital could be built wholly
isolated, attesting no dwellings. If a
begining ware made with a suitable
appropriation, providing a dispensary
and previdlug a ward on a simple scale,
as has been done in a barn at White
llaven, it would be possible to gain
what is, after all, tffc- best purpose to
which money can be put, the saving to
the community of valuable human lives.
There will otherwise not only be lost
to themselves but will prove a disas
trous harden on the honest wage-earn
ing family, which finds itself under the
sad blight, which comes with a case of
consumption in the sinail houses and in
the narrow quarters of humbler city
life.
The Maia meanwhile, has begun at
White Haven a work which is the fruit
ful insult ef the energetic labors of Dr.
J. F. Flick, who has for more than a
decade lrged what has now been begun,
Iron Pads in existing hospitals and a
sanitarian ia the country for tho poor
consumptives.

A recent number of The Outlook con
tained the following articles, especially
prepared for It, on "The Incorporation
of Trades Unions:"
J ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES,
j [By Carroll D. Wright, United States commission
er of labor.]
I The constantly recurring conflicts be
tween employers and employees are
j more and more based on the question
as to whether trades unions shall be
recognized by the management. The
recognition of the unions, In a popular
sense, comprehends something entirely
different from what is meant by the
unions themselves. In the former case
it Is understood to mean simply a
recognition on the part of employers
of the existence of the unions and deal
ings with their officers. On the part
of the unions themselves the recogni
tion is understood to mean something
more than this, even in many cases to
taking part in the establishment of
rules and the regulation of wages.
Such conflicts lead to the proposition
that labor unions should be incorporat
ed in like manner as capitalistic asso
ciations are incorporated—that is, that
under the low the unions should bo
come responsible for their contracts.
Under the general laws of the different
states relating to corporations of all
kinds, whether for business, education
al, religious or benevolent purposes,
trades unions can easily secure a char
ter. The states of lowa, Louisiana,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsyl
vania and Wyoming make especial
mention of trades unions in their stat
utes relating to corporations, but they
do not provide any especial duties,
rights or liabilities other than those
pertaining to all corporations. New
York formerly had a special law, but
trades unions can now be incorporated
under the general statute. The United
Btates, by acts of 1880 and 1880, pro
vides for the Incorporation of national
unions having headquarters in Wash
jigton. Some of the unions of the state
of New York are Incorporated, but
there are very few incorporated unions
In other states.
The advantages of incorporation are
that the union under a charter becomes
a person in the eyes of the law; that it
can sue and he sued, as individuals,
corporations and lirnis can sue and be
sued. It would have standing in the
courts; it would be better able to own
and control property and would have
many rights and privileges that trades
unions as voluntary associations do not
have. By incorporation unions would
stand better in public estimation. As
II legal person they could enforce their
contracts against employers. They
have been debarred heretofore from ap
pearing in court by representatives.
They have thus lost advantages which
wouid have been of the greatest im
portance to them.
On the other hand, labor leaders
claim that there are disadvantages
which in a large measure offset the
advantages. They admit the benelits
which would come from incorporation,
but they apprehend the dangers which
would come through the assumption of
duties and liabilities which do not now
specifically belong to the unions. They
would be obliged to have funds for
strike and benefit purposes—ln fact,
some capital, although no stock. This
capital or the funds could be attached
under an action of contract or tort, and
it is feared by members of unions that
such action would result in their dis
ruption. There is great apprehension
also that whenever a union might be
brought Into court and judgment for
any cause secured against it the union
would collapse; hence the fear that ul
timately incorporation would mean the
destruction of trade unionism. Mem
bers also fear that the writ of injunc
tion would be much more severe In its
operation under incorporation than at
present and that they would not re
ceive fair treatment from the courts.
Considering these alleged advantages
and disadvantages, it would seem that
the advantages outweigh the disadvan
tages. Our courts oil the whole are
honorable and in their capacity ns ad
ministrators of law pure and incorrupt
ible. Ilere and there an unfair judge
might cause a great deal of difficulty,
but on the whole the high character of
the American judiciary is a sufficient
guarantee against unfair treatment.
THE UNIONIST POSITION.
[By Joseph H. Buchanan, labor editor of the
American Press Association.]
The incorporation of labor unions is
a question almost as old as the unions
themselves. A majority of the leading
unionists of this country are emphatic
ally opposed to the idea. The disad
vantages growing out of incorporation
would, they say, far outweigh the ad
vantages, and the so called advantages
would he two sided. Take, for in
stance, the holding of property. An in
corporated union would be enabled to
protect its property by exacting of its
officers bonds, against which, if neces
sary, suits could be Instituted, but the
property would also be subject to the
orders of a court In a case •against the
union. The funds of a national union
could be attached pdndlng the decision
of a court In a suit for breach of con
tract by a loyal union, even when sueh
breach was in absolute violation of
the national union's expressed will.
Therefore it is a question whether the
right to sue. with Its corollary, would
be of benefit to trades unions in their
present stage of development.
In recent years labor unions have
had Just cause to dread "government
by Injunction." Incorporated the

Mothers who are seeking the ideal and proper medicine to pive their little ones for
constipation, dirrhu, colic and simple fevers will liud LAXAKOLA the great family

It is the best and most effective laxative for children. BKST liecausc it is safe and
made entirely of harmless ingredient.-. I'.KST because it is non-irritating and never

because " Children like it and ask for it."
It is n dangerouff thing to give little babies violent remedies that rack and rend
their little bodies. DON'T 1)0 IT—give them LAXAKOLA.
A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and will often relieve
eolie by expelling the wind and gas that cause it, and it also will check simple fevers,
break up colds and clear the coated tongue.
Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from
diarrhoa, accompanied with white or green evacuations, from the fact that LAXAKOLA
neutralizes the ucidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of fermentation, aids
digestion, relieves restlessness, assists nature and induces sleep.

unions would bo nt the mercy of every
court where sympathy or personal in
terest tilted the judge In the slightest
degree the other way. As it Is now,
violation of an injunction reacts only
upon the direct violators. As it would
he then, a union could be demolished
if any of its members disobeyed the
orders of a Judge.
If incorporated, the power of the
labor union to control its membership
at all times, regarding only expedi
ency and its own preservation, would
be greatly abridged. The existence of
the labor union Is dependent upon the
enforcement of the will of the majority
and the maintenance of discipline.
Tut a union on a plane where It could
be haled to court at the instigation of
a member suspended or expelled for
"scabbing" or other violation of rules
and that union could be made the prey
of every unprincipled and weakkneed
workman in the trade. The right to
absolutely govern the terms of mem
bership and the conditions of reinstate
ment Is one that labor unions cannot
afford to surrender.
The tendency of labor unions in this
country is toward a fuller democracy
in the management of their affairs.
The adoption of the referendum is one
of the evidences of this tendency. In
corporation would certainly result in
the centralization of control. This ef
fect alone of incorporation would de
stroy the unions. Your rank and tile
labor unionist feels that he Is an im
portant part of the organization, and
so lie Is. Attempt to restrict his pow
ers in this particular, and he quits.
Labor's belief that law and the courts
arc for the benetlt of the owners of
wealth may We deemed by many un
warranted, but lias it not grounds for
the belief? More than one-half of the
laws enacted are for the protection of
property. Labor is not a heavy prop
erty owner. Organized labor has se
cured the passage of laws in its inter
est. Many of them have been declared
unconstitutional by the courts. The
laborer lias seen the poor man sent to
jail for a petty offense and the rich
thief go free through technicalities of
the law as interpreted by some judge.
At best law is costly, and the laborer,
individually and collectively, is too
poor to indulge in the luxury. Law
yers who have the winning way in cor
poration cases come high and stay late.
For these and other like reasons the
labor union is opposed to exchanging
the old and fairly successful way of
.ighting its battles for courtrooms gen
erally presided over by judges whose
training and environment make them
unfitted to sec labor's cause through
sympathet ie glasses.
Labor in England just now is hav
ing a taste of recognition in the courts.
The Taff Yale Railroad company is
suing tin' Amalgamated Society of Rail
way Servants for damages incurred
during the strike of 1900. English ju
rists say that the case involves the jus
tice of strikes, the right of employees
to strike. What the decision will be it
is hard to say, but if such a case came
ui> in this country and the courts decid
ed that strikes were never justifiable
organized labor would pay with its life
for its standing in law.
The It en NO u Why.
While in Dulutli some time ago a
colored man called on Eugene Debs to
pay his respects, and after leaving
Debs told the following story of a trip
on the Great Northern: "It was short
ly after the great strike," said Debs,
"and 1 was taking a trip west on a
lecture tour. In one end of the train
were a number of directors of tlio
Great Northern. The porter on the ear
was very attentive to me, more so
than to the directors, to a noticeable
degree. A passenger asked the porter
why he paid so much attention to tin
tall stranger and so little to the offl
rials of the road. 'Why,' said the por
ter. 'those men tried to cut down my
wages, but this man wouldn't let them
do It.' "—Western Laborer.
