The Secretary then reported that, at a meeting of the General Council held earlier in the day, the following appointments were made:— Chairman, Sir William S. Haldane, W.S., Edinburgh; Vice-Chairman, Dr. Charles Porter, M.O.H., St. Marylebone, London ; Hon. Secretary, Dr. G. Clark Trotter, M.O.H., Islington, London; Hon. Treasurers, Messrs. Greenhill and Clapperton, C.A., Edinburgh; and General Secretary, Mr. J. Mackenzie, 89 Millbrae Road, Langside, Glasgow. Chairman’s Committee. Sir Wm. S. Haldane, W.S., Edinburgh; Sir Malcolm Smith, K.B.E., Leith; Sir Thomas Oliver, M.D., Newcastle-upon-Tyne; S. Seebohm Rowntree, York; R. Veitch Clark, M.D., M.O.H., Manchester; E. H. Snell, M.D., M.O.H., Coventry; Chas. Porter, M.D., M.O.H., St. Marylebone, London; James Fenton, M.D., Kensington, London; Professor Collis, M.D., Cardiff; and G. Arbour Stephens, M.D., Swansea. Finance Committee. W. Greenhill, Edinburgh; Dr. Watts, Manchester; Sydney Walton, B.Lit., C.B.E., London; and Walter Citrine, Secy, of the T.U.C., London. One Vacancy. Miners Delighted. On the motion of Mr. Smillie, the appointments were approved. Mr. Smillie said one remark he heard had pleased him, and that was, that the great work they had undertaken had the approval of the employing classes as well as the working classes. Nowadays it was almost impossible to get these two classes to agree on anything, and they must all feel delighted that there was useful work being done which both sides approved. He recognised that medical men, however self-sacrificing and earnest they might be in carrying on their work, could not, when visiting homes, enter into explanation as to the necessity for doing everything for the preservation of health. He recognised that something was required in the shape of lectures to help the people to realise that, to some extent at least, they had their health in their own hands. So far as the mining folk were concerned, the men and women were delighted with the lectures delivered under the auspices of the Society. He thought the mining folk especially required work of that kind among them because of the nature of their employment. On behalf of the British Trade Union Congress he wished them God-speed in their work. (Applause.)
