Chapter 155: Silves' Efforts
A few days later, Silves once again convened all of the leading members of the surviving American Staff Federation and representatives of the Union of Employees of the vast majority of industries or occupations
The location is still in the old and dilapidated little bungalow.
"President, the salvage on that letter from Tom Smith really works!"
"Many of the conductors of our Railway Conductors' Guild have relied on the methods on the letter to get through the difficulties,"
"It's not as exaggerated as the letter says – the mortality rate is less than 1 percent, but it also brings the mortality rate down to about 10 percent."
At the meeting, all the main members of the American Staff Federation swept away the haze on their faces, and they all excitedly told their comrades-in-arms about the "results" of their experiments a few days ago.
However, the "results" of each of the leading members of the American Staff's Federation and the representatives of the Workers' Federation of Industries or Occupations are not the same.
For example, the Railroad Conductors Guild sent a representative of the American Staffing Federation, and his experimental "results" were more abundant than those of other major members of the American Employees' Federation.
The other day, the delegate called on all the fellow Railroad Conductors Guild not to sit idly by, and to carry out cholera together by drinking more water and eating more, according to the method written by Tom Smith.
In the past, cholera was the same disease as the Black Death, and the affected people sat at home and waited for death without any recurrence.
The members of the Railway Conductors' Guild, with the mentality of treating dead horses as live horse doctors, tried a rescue method derived from Tom Smith.
I don't know if I don't try, and I'm shocked when I try.
Thanks to the fact that the group of railway conductors themselves is a rare high-income group among the people at the bottom,
The mortality rate of cholera patients in the railway conductor's guild plummeted after being treated correctly.
Nowadays, the mortality rate of cholera patients in the Railway Conductors' Guild is only 8 or 9 percent, and even less than 10 percent.
In stark contrast, there are a few poorer staff associations.
For example, the Workers' Freemasonry, which is a trade association related to the railway industry like the Railway Conductors' Guild.
But as you can tell from the name, this staff federation is a poor staff association.
After the Switch-to-Workers Freemasonry followed the methods taught by Tom Smith, the mortality rate also decreased, but it did not reduce the mortality rate of cholera patients to less than 10 percent.

It's just that success overwhelms about forty percent.
Don't underestimate the 40 percent mortality rate, compared to the previous laissez-faire treatment of cholera patients, which led to a mortality rate of nearly 780 percent for cholera patients, this achievement is also gratifying.
Silves stood in the middle of the old dilapidated bungalow, looking at the data submitted by the various member guilds of the American Workers' Federation, and he also saw a lot of clues.
The most notable problem is that after Silves advocated the implementation of Tom Smith's cure, the richer the guild, the lower the mortality rate.
The American Workers' Union did not come into being overnight, but was formed by the merger of many guilds from all walks of life and in 1866.
In addition to the guilds that directly joined the American Employees' Federation, many American industry and professional associations were semi-affiliated with the first national employee federation in the United States.
Looking at the data in his hand, Silves looked at the delegates sent by the Railway Conductors' Guild, which had the lowest mortality rate, to participate in this small meeting.
Silves began to wonder why Tom Smith's cure had different effects on people with different income conditions.
Silves remembered his previous experience at Houston-Smith Hospital in Texas.
He suddenly remembered that not only himself, but all the patients in his ward seemed to be eating quite "luxurious" food at that time.
Fresh and clean vegetables, bread without sawdust, and large strips of meat from time to time......
Sylves quickly figured out why the death rate in the Railroad Conductors' Guild was one of the lowest among all the guilds that submitted their reports.
Because the income of railway conductors is much higher than that of the lowest level of employees.
After thinking about everything, Silves raised his right hand and motioned to the representatives of the various guilds present and the core cadres of the American Staff Union to look at him:
"I guess everyone now believes the method I told you before."
"Then as the president of the American Staff Federation, I am in line with the original intention of the American Staff Federation - to seek a better life for all employees in the United States,"
"And one of the things I've learned in Europe is that all employees should work together!"
"After all, the power of one family is not worth thousands of families."
"So I propose that the major unions, led by our American Staff Federation, work together to build nursing homes across the country."
"We will take care of all sick employees and ensure that every sick employee survives cholera as much as possible."
Silves' idea was simple, emulating Tom Smith's sprawl of the kind of nursing homes in Texas and Mexico that didn't deserve to be called hospitals, to help poor workers in the old Yankee area of the United States survive the cholera crisis.
As soon as these words came out, the representatives of the staff federation of most industries or occupations present burst into warm applause, eager to use applause to collapse this old and dilapidated house.
However, the vast majority does not mean everyone.
The views of the vast majority of people are not representative of the views of all people either.
In the case of the railway industry, a poor and outrageous workers' federation such as the Switched Workers' Freemasonry would certainly approve of Silves' proposal.
They were a guild of unemployed railroad employees, who had the extra money to support nurseries across the United States.
Silves's proposal, they are the total beneficiaries.
The income of members of the locomotive stoker fraternity and the railway crew fraternity is slightly higher than that of the members of the Freemasons who have been unemployed.
They have some capacity to support Silves' efforts to build conservatories across the United States, but not much.
For them, in their plans, their expenses should be about the same as the returns, and having a large organization as a guarantee is more conducive to the members of their guild through the deadly cholera crisis.
The above two types of guilds are also the main types of guilds in the American Workers' Federation.
It is also the guild type with the most people.
But the representatives of the Railway Conductors' Guild don't think so,
The representatives of the Railway Conductors' Guild don't want to be "wronged"!
