Winter Street, BE WAGED TUBE Bill Posters of Country J6in Hands With National Associa tion in White Plague Fight. .- I "^Preparations have been nearly completed for the beginning of the million-dollar poster campaign against tuberculosis, which will be carried on jointly by the National Association for the Study and prevention of Tubercu losis, the Associated Billposters and Distributers of America and' the Post er Printers' Association of th United States. The campaign is an outcome of the last convention of the Billposters, at which time a resolution was adopted granting free of charge to the Nation al Association for the Study and Pre vention of Tuberculosis spac* ^n all of the billboards controlled by' this or ganization, located in 3,400 towns and villages of the country. Extends the No-Funds Were at Hand. The National Association was .at orice confronted with the difficulty of accepting: the generous gift of the Billposters because of the lack of funds to carry out the program pro posed. The Poster Printers offered to print all of the posters free of charge, but the problem of paper was such a large one, involving so many thousand dollars, that the National Association was? obliged to appeal to paf»er manufacturers in all parts of the United States. As a result of these requests sufficient paper has. been received to start printing 16, 000 posters. The sketches for the de signs have also been solicited from prominent artists in and around Nfew York city.

The posters will be nine feet long and'seven feet wide, afrd will be print ed th several colors. The posters are designed tb' show graphically l*ow consumption can be cured anfl pr'e !vented' They wilt be distributed through the local and state anU-tu berculosis associations and through $n divjduals interested in the crusade against this disease in all parts of the United States. SMILES AND SMILES The late Judge Silas Bryan* the father of William J. ifJryan, once had several hams stolen from his smofce house. He missed ttigm at once, but said nothing about it to anyone.

Among the chief obstacles to the organization ot women workers in (Qreat Britain have been the tem porary nature of /their occupations, low wages, and low standard of liv ing/ class distinction^ and- apathy. Male trade unionists in the piloting trades have offered oppositon on ac count of the generally lower rate of wages, paid to women.. As to the results accomplished, /the' women's: trade union movement, through the Women's Trade Union Leage, has ac complished much toward the' con servation of health and the promo tion of safety among local workers where little or no local organisation, can yet be effected. The greatest endeavor of t$e lead ers at the present time is to secure the extension of the board of arbi tration prerogative to an authori tative institution for legal decision in wage disputes and the establish ment of wages boards empowered to fix a legal minimum vrage in certain trades.
