tion. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 8. Delegates from
five of the labor organizatlona lu Kansas
City, Kan., representing 6,000 workers tn
the packing house Industries, met today and
formed a new central labor body for Kan
sas City, known as the "Packing Tradea
council." 4
Michael Donnelly, national president of
the Amalgamated Meat Cuttera and Butcher
Workers' Union ot North America, ad
dressed the meeting and it was under his
direction that the council was organized.
The unions represented at tha meeting
today were: The cattle butchers, the sheep
butchers, the hog butchers, the beef
boners and the coopers.
The other unions which are eligible to
representation in the new council are:
The packing house firemen and englneera,
the tin can workers, the electrical workers,
casing workers, oleo workers and the meat
cutters, including the cutters in retail es
tablishment. Mr. Donnelly will go to St. Joseph on
Tuesday and organize a packing house
trades council there.
Tho Packing House Trades council will
not ask for an Increase in wsges at pres
ent, at least," said Mr. Donnelly today.
'That Is not the principal object of form
ing the council at thla time. Experience
has taught ua that the business of the
packing house workers can be best trans
acted through a central body composed ex
clusively of men actively engaged in aome
branch of packing house work.
"Heretofore the various unions represent
ing the packing tradea workers have been
affiliated with the Tradea assembly, which
la made up of delegates representing work-
era in almost every branch of industry."

A Swindler Cnuajht.
Several druggists and grocers around
New York have been victimized during the
last few months by the old trick of taking
orders tor some well known goods at a
suspiciously low price and delivering and
collecting money tor packagea the outside
wrappers of which resemble so closely the
genuine that the victims often pay with
out further examination. When opened,
tha packages are found to be empty, or to
contain rubbish of some sort.
We are glad to be able to announce that
one swindler has been caught In Philadel
phta by the Lieblg's Extract of Meat Co.

name of James Carter when arrested, al
though that was supposed to be an alias.

CHECKING ELECTRICAL FIRES
Safeguard Kssenll-1 to the Proper
Protection of Property from
Current Flashes.
Although electrlcsl fires are on the in
crease, says the New York Post, experts
believe that many losses attributed to such
causes do not so originate, but arc ascribed
to that hazard for want of aome better ex
planation. H. J. Blekeslce, electrical In
spector of the Hartford Board of Fire Un
derwriters, with other experts, who have
carefully studied the electrical fire loss In
large cities, thinks that much may be done
to safeguard property if the public Is prop
erly Informed concerning the more common
perils. Most of the dwelling loss Is due to
Improper Installation, which might be rem
edied at trifling expense were people care
ful to see thnt standard equipment waa
used.
In a statement made to the Post. Mr.
Blakeslee said: "Decided progress hns been
made during the last few years In reducing
the electrical fire hazard. It Is, I think,
constantly being reduced- Unquestionably,
many fireo are widely reported aa of elec
trical origin which are not due to that
cause at all. I havo bad a number of atich
cases In my own territory. The average
person discovers the cause of a fire in a
manner similar to the method of dlagosls
employed by the young ddctor, who found
that the trouble which his patient waa ex
periencing all came from eating a horse
became there waa a saddle under the bed.
If there are any wlrea to be found In a
building after a fire, even bell wires, the
layman who sees them unhesitatingly as
serts that he knows what caused the
trouble.
'Electrical fires are not, prevailing no
tions to the contrary notwithstanding, mys
terious affairs. They are accountable for
by natural, clearly defined laws, which are
as easily recognized aa those of gravitation.
believe that electricity la the safest
method of Illumination in use today. One
of the most difficult things to prevent, how
ever, Is the disturbance of wires after their
proper Installation by persons ignorant of
possible results. And also the dangerous
work of the person who knows 'something'
about electricity.
'Property owners should always take It
upon themselves to know personally that
their electrical work Is being properly In
stalled, either through the employment ot
a competent person who will have the own
er'a Interest solely In view, or through sat
isfying themselves that the inspection pro
vided in their locality Is adequate. Se
curity depends entirely upon the proper
Installation which may be so planned aa to
exclude the possibility of fire. When work
s finished. It should never be disturbed,
and It la to the advantage of every prop
erty owner to see that, ao far as possible,
an Installation Is inspected from time to
time. Let no one who can possibly afford
the expense hesitate to install hla wires In
Iron conduits, regardless of what la 'per
missible.' Different condltlona aro found
n different localities, but such safeguards
as I have enumerated are of very general
importance."
PNEUMONIA IS CONTAGIOUS
Necessity for Unfaltering- Care by At
tendant In the Sick
We wonder, says American Medicine, It
the fact that patlenta and their friends
ignore tho contagiousness of pneumonia is
often due to professional negligence. An
exaggerated conception of the contagious
ness of tuberculosis Is held by the lay
world, but pneumonia Is, of course, far
morfc contagious. And patients and pro
fession alike have not realized the new
fact that the mortality of pneumonia la In
some cities and parte of the country higher
than that of tuberculosis. Dr. Reynolds ot
Chicago returns to thla lesson and em
phasizes the necessity ot the following.
measures: ,
Pneumonia la a highly contagious dis
ease, the cause of which Is a micro-organism
in tha aputa of those suffering from
the malady, and contracted by inhaling this
germ.' Therefore, the same care. should
be taken to collect and destroy the sputa
that la taken In pulmonary tuberculosis.
or In diphtheria or Influenza.
During tha illness the greatest pains
should be taken to prevent soiling bed-
olnthlns. carnets or furniture with the
sputa, and after the Illness the patient's
room should be thoroughly cieansea ana
ventilated.
The tact that tho disease Is most pre
valent In the winter season, when people
are most crowded together and live much
of the time In badly ventilated apartments,
makes obvious the necessity of thorough
ventilation of houses, offices, factories,
theatera. churches, passenger cara and
other public places, in order that the air
which must be breathed may be kept clean
and free from lnfecttoua matter.
Laymen should be taught not to be afraid
of a patient' who has pneumonia, tnfluenxa
or tuberculosis, but to be afraid or lac
of cleanliness about him during hla illness,
of failure to enforce prophylactto meas
ures and of close, badly ventilated apart
ments during the season when these dis
eases most prevail.
Since pneumonia la most fatal at th
extremes of life tho yonng and the aged
special care should be taken to 'guard
children and old persons against exposure
to the Infection of those already suffering
with the disease and against cold, priva
tion and exposure to tne weamer, wnicn
are potent, predisposing causes.
